Secrets Chapter 6
Chloe's Pov
The Talon is up ahead so I turn into the alleyway and park my car next to Lois's. I get out and grab my bag from the trunk and walk in the back door. As I walk through the storage room door I see Lois is serving the last customer of the evening who is getting it to go. Lois turns around and sees and gives me a small smile until she sees my eyes are puffy.
"Cuz, what's wrong?" she asks in concern.
"I guess, Lana decide it was time for both her and Clark to move on," I say.
"What do you mean?" asks Lois confused.
"This morning she was getting mad at me that Clark and I could possible get together and then on my way here she was saying that we should" I say.
"Is Lana Lang finally respecting the young investigative reporters feelings?" says Lois.
"Maybe this is her way of saying that she's finally over Clark," I say shrugging.
"This just seems out of character for our doe eyed friend" comments Lois.
"Well Lois, Lana hasn't been her self lately, but it's understandable she just broke it off with Clark" I say.
"Chloe, what about Clark how is he handling the break up?" she asks.
"Lois it's like he's not handling it, he just seems so sad about Mr. Kent, but who can blame him he lost his father, one of the most important people in his live" he says.
"Mr. Kent was an important factor in my live too, he was the father that I've never had" says Lois.
"I understand Lois, the Kents are like parents to me" I say.
"Come here I need a hug and I'm sure you do too" I say and open my arms as Lois walks over to me and we lock into a tight embrace.
"Feel better now, why don't you go upstairs and go to sleep because you look like you're worn to the bone" she says as she lets go of me.
"Thanks I'll grab a blanket and a pillow and head for the couch" I say as I start to walk away from her and up the Talon set of stairs to her apartment.
"You take the bed Pulitzer Prize winner," she says and I can't help, but smile at her confidence in me because I know I don't have allot.
I open the door to her apartment and I feel so safe here. I set my bag on the coffee table and walk into the bedroom and as soon as I sit down on the bed a feel the wave of need for sleep hit me and I'm out in a matter of seconds.
I wake up and I can see the bright sunlight shining through Lois's side window. It's weird this place used to belong to Lana and now it's like I don't even know Lana anymore.
I look in the mirror and I see the reflection of a nineteen-year old that doesn't have time for herself and it's probably true.
I walk down to the talon and I see Lois is already has my article up on the bulletin board.
"Lois what is that?" I ask sitting down on a counter stool.
"Your article silly and I turned the news on, they arrested Lex about twenty minutes and his bail is set about twenty million which he doesn't have access to it his father isn't letting him have any of the Luthor Corp. money" says Lois with a bright smile on her face.
"Well I better head out I have a plane to Chicago that I have to be on in about five hours" I say.
"Chloe be careful your name is everywhere right now" shouts Lois as I walk out the Talon's front doors.
