He knew he shouldn't be doing it, but he found he couldn't resist. It was in his nature, he always had to know exactly what was going on. Especially with the people he cared about. Which is why he found himself standing atop a skyscraper staring at the building across from it. Well, to be more accurate he was spying on a certain blonde reporter.

He didn't know why she had done what she did. He couldn't begin to try to decipher the inner workings of Chloe's mind. All he wanted was answers, and he figured the best way to find out was by watching her every move.

He was aware that this could come across as a bit stalker like but he didn't care at the moment. He was going to get to the bottom of this.

He followed her movements as she ventured from one place to the other in the deserted building. Only Chloe would still be at her office when all but the janitors had went home.

Finally she packed up her stuff and left the building. Making her way out of the building, she began to walk to her apartment. All the while she was unaware of the person following her.

After about three blocks she began to have a funny feeling she was being watched. Turning quickly around she squinted her eyes in search of anything suspicious, having found nothing she began walking again.

He knew it was risky, following her so close. He knew that Chloe had a hyper sense in all things weird and if anyone could catch him it was her. But he was confident that she wouldn't discover him. As she turned a corner he quickened his steps to catch up with her.

As he turned the corner he crashed into something soft and feminine. An angry foot slammed down on his own.

"Ow!"

Chloe swore silently to herself and assessed the damage, noticing nothing was broken she looked up at her apparent "stalker".

"Clark?!" she exclaimed.

"Hey Chlo," he smiled sheepishly.

Chloe shook her head in surprise, wondering how he had found her. She once again checked her foot, now understanding why she had been more injured than him. Stupid man of steel and his stupid steel foot.

"What are you doing here, how did you find me?" Chloe asked bewildered.

Clark scratched the back of his head and shuffled his feet nervously.

"Well when I saw your letter I couldn't believe you had actually left. I called Lois to find out if she knew anything, only to discover that she had gotten the same letter. Then I overheard you and her talking on the phone and I followed your voice." Clark looked down as he said that last part.

"What? Clark you completely invaded my privacy!"

"Well what was I supposed to do Chloe? My best friend leaves without so much as an explanation or a decent goodbye," Clark's voice rose in anger.

Chloe sighed in frustration, knowing he would react this way. She rubbed her temples hoping to calm herself down.

"Look I'm sorry for the way I left things but I knew if I told you, you would try and stop me. I just needed to get away from it all"

"Away from what Chloe?" Clark asked in confusion.

"Are you serious? Clark my life has consisted of nothing but danger and meteor freaks and death for the past few years. Not to mention all of the Kryptonion mess we've gotten into," Chloe says exasperated.

"Well what about Lois, what about me?" Clarks asked sadly.

"Lois will be fine without me, she knows I love her."

"And me, how am supposed to get through everything without you Chloe?" Clark asked.

"That's something you're going to have to figure out, on your own. This is my life now Clark,"

With that said, Chloe turned to walk away only to be stopped by Clark's voice.

"Will you ever come back?"

Chloe looked into the eyes of the man she once claimed to love forever. He was her first love and he would always have a special place in her heart.

"I don't know Clark, I honestly don't know" she said sadly.

Clark nodded his head in defeat watching her walk away, realizing that he might have lost her forever. Willing the tears away, he took a final glance at Chloe and sped away.

Chloe had reached her apartment and had unlocked the door with a trembling hand. She pushed open the door and stumbled into her apartment. Shutting the door she closed her eyes and let the tears fall.

After a moment she opened her eyes that were now red from the tears she had shed. She jumped in surprise as she just noticed a familiar figure standing in her apartment.

"Hello Chloe"
