Hey! I just wanted to say that even if you don't think that they would react the way I make them react, please don't send me a review that says "I don't think that they would react that way". For it is a fanfiction so I can make them react they way that fits my story best. Thank you.

Thanks for the wonderful reviews that I have received so far.

The simile I'm going to use today is--Reviews are like drinking a cool glass of lemonade, so refreshing! LOL!

Chapter 7:

Lana backed away from the door. How can he be here? He's dead.

"Jason? How…I thought…"

"Please don't say that you thought I was dead. I get that enough." He interrupted, offering a small smile.

She didn't know what to do, what to say. Should she be scared of him? She was thinking that she should be. But she found herself almost happy to see him. Before Lana even knew exactly what she was doing, she had walked over to Jason and enfolded him in her arms. Jason was shocked to see this reaction. He had been almost positive that she would be scared of him.

"Lana?" He asked, not sure what to think.

When she didn't reply he slowly wrapped his arms around her, returning the hug. Lana finally pulled away and looked up at him.

"How are you here? And why are you not angry with me? The last time we spoke….you….we…" She didn't understand.

"Why don't we sit down?" Jason suggested.

Lana took a seat on her bed, while Jason chose the computer chair. He slowly explained how he had survived the meteor shower, where he had been since the meteor shower, and how he had been trying to turn his life around. She just sat there in silence trying to determine if he really meant what he said. The look on his face was serious and his eyes, unreadable. Was he being honest? Had he really changed?

Jason must have noticed her thoughts trailing off, because he was now waving his hand in front of her face.

"Hello in there." He said, half laughing. When he had finally gotten her attention he again grew serious and looked her straight in the eye.

"Do you trust me Lana?"

He held his breath as Lana sat there thinking. Do I trust him? She looked deep into his eyes. This time they were filled with hope, hope that her answer would be yes. But she could also see a hint of determination, determination to convince her that he really had changed. Lana finally took his hand in her's, the corners of her mouth slowly pulling her lips into a smile.

"Yes, Jason, I trust you."

He stood up and pulled her into a hug. "Thank you Lana. I give you my word, I won't let you down."

They pulled apart slightly, but Jason still held her in his arms. Their eyes met and their faces slowly grew close. Lana didn't know what she was doing. What about Clark? They abruptly separated when there was a knock on the door.

"Who is it?" Lana called out, a little flustered.

"Clark."

Speak of the devil. "Umm…Jason hide in there," she said, motioning to the closet. He did as he was told, while Lana answered the door.

"Hey Clark," she greeted, "What are you doing here?"

"Can't a guy come and see his girlfriend?" Clark leaned forward to kiss her, but she ducked out of the way.

"Uh…we haven't really talked about that yet. And right now isn't the best time. I have an astronomy paper that is due tomorrow. How about I call you later?" Lana said, before trying to usher him towards the door.

His face was filled with suspicion, but he walked towards the door anyway. Clark was about to exit the dorm when he suddenly turned around and wrapped her in his arms. Before she could respond he had planted a passionate kiss on her lips. Lana felt herself melting in his arms. After finally pulling away he let go of her body.

"Bye." He gradually exited the dorm.

Lana took a deep sigh and stared after him. She heard the closet door open and turned around.

"You and Clark are…" Jason said a hint of disappointment in his voice.

"Dating? I'm not sure what we're doing. It's just so confusing," she replied.

Lana really was confused. She thought that being with Clark was what she had wanted, but now that Jason had returned she wasn't so sure. Could she actually still have feelings for Jason?

"I better go." Jason sounded a little uncomfortable. "I have an um…errand to run. I'd really like it if I could see you again."

"Me too," she returned. After saying their good-byes, Jason left and Lana collapsed onto her bed. What do I do now?

………………………………………………………………………

Chloe was just getting out of her car at the dormitory when she saw Clark heading towards a dark alley. She tried to ignore him but her journalistic instinct was to strong.

What was he doing? She was cautiously making her way over to the alley when she bumped into someone that was heading in the same direction.

"Sorry," she apologized, before realizing who it was.

"Oh my…Jason? I thought that you were dead."

"Yeah um…can we talk about this later? I'm a little busy. Thanks."

He quickly brushed past her and peeked around the corner into the alleyway. She, of course, followed. Not only because she wanted to talk to him, but because she was going in that direction also. Chloe was about to speak, but Jason held his finger up to her mouth. Both of their jaws dropped wide open in awe as they watched the man standing in the middle of the alley. A split second before the young man had been Clark, but in the blink of an eye Travis had taken his place.

Please Review!
