Disclaimer: I woke up this morning and I was shocked to find that I did not own Smallville; I was also shocked to find my fiancé instead of Michael R. in bed beside me.
While I love Clark I have yet to decide if he will come out of this story unscathed. So please if you are a Clark fan be aware that Clark has done something very wrong in this story. But also keep in mind that when Clark did this very wrong thing he was under the influence of red kryptonite. Don't leave flames you have been warned.
Chapter Two: Don't Jump!
As Lex sped through town he thought about stopping by Chloe's house, he had even driven by it a few times. But in the end he decided that his presence would be an unwelcome intrusion on her privacy.
As his car approached the bridge he had once upon a time driven off of he noticed Chloe's Volkswagen Beetle sitting idol. He pulled his car up behind hers and put it in park. As he stepped out of the car he saw her. Standing on the ledge of the bridge was Chloe, she was crying and clutching something tightly in her left hand.
Slowly as not to startle her Lex approached he. "Chloe" He said gently.
With tears streaming down her face Chloe asked "What do you want Lex?"
Lex got a little closer "What are you doing Chloe?"
"You're a smart man Lex, figure it out." Chloe sobbed.
"Why would you want to do this?" Lex asked as a limo pulled up and Lionel stepped out.
Lionel approached the two of them "Ms. Sullivan what are you doing?" He asked.
"Would the two of you just leave me alone!" Chloe half yelled half sobbed.
"We can't do that Chloe. We can't let you do this." Lex said stepping up to the side of the bridge right below where Chloe was standing.
"Why would you want to jump Ms. Sullivan?" Lionel asked.
"My life is over anyway…he made sure of that." Chloe cried.
"We can help you. Come on Chloe please get down." Lex urged.
"I can't. No one will ever believe me." Chloe inched closer to the ledge.
"Believe you about what?" Lionel asked.
"About this!" Chloe threw what she had been clutching in her hand at Lex.
Lex bent down and picked up…a pregnancy test…a positive pregnancy test.
"No one will believe you're pregnant?" Lex asked confused.
"No one will believe how I got pregnant." Chloe was almost at the very edge of the bridge.
It hit Lex like a bolt of lightning "Chloe were you raped?" he asked.
Chloe started to tremble and Lex inched as close to her as possible so that if she lost her footing he would be able to grab her. "Will you believe me if I say yes?"
Lex nodded "Of course. Chloe I will do everything in my power to help you. But you have to come down."
"What about my dad? He will never believe me. He'll throw me out."
"Than you can stay at the castle." Lionel said.
"But you have to come down." Lex offered his to her.
After a moment's of hesitation Chloe took the offered hand and stepped down of the ledge. Once safely back on solid ground Chloe collapsed in Lex's arms, sobs raking her body.
Lex carefully lifted her into his arms and carried her to his car, gently placing her in the passenger seat.
As Lex closed the car door Lionel said "I will meet you back at the castle son."
Lex just nodded his head and got in the drivers seat. He would send someone for Chloe's car once they arrived at the castle.

I know Lionel is very out of character but I like him that way. If you don't well sorry.
