later that night:
lana woke up in a strange place, she wasnt at her apartment.
it took her a second to realise she was at the kent house, on their couch
memories of the night before came flooding back, mostly of clark.
a sound like a whimper made lana look up
it sounded like someone was crying
she got up and walked up the stairs quietly, avoiding the places she knew creaked, 'till she got to clarks room
she pressed her ear to the door, listening intently
she could hear a faint whimpering
lana slowly pushed the door open and walked in
clark lay, tossing and turning, like he was having a bad nightmare, lana walked over to his bed
she reached out a hand, gently nudging him
when that had no effect, she leant over him
his face seemed to be contorted with pain, lana couldnt handle seeing him like this, she began to shake him
"clark" she said "clark wake up"
clark bolted up, a figure bent over him, he grabbed them and held them up, pushing them against the wall by the throat
everything came in to focus as his eyes ajusted to the dark
the figure was.. "lana!" clark cried out
he let go of her immediantly, as she fell to the ground coughing, he bent down, lifting up her head
"lana, lana im so sorry, i-i was having a dream, and i thought someone broke in an-and i thought you were a burgular or something, god, lana, im so sorry"
god i am such an idiot, i could've killed her he thought
lana had a scared look in her eyes, as she looked up at clark, breathing heavily, her hand was around her neck where clark was holding her moments before
clark looked as if he was a boy and he had just accidentally killed his puppy
he was close to tears
"lana, im sorry, i didn't mean to" he looked around desperate, as if the room held the answer to his problems
"clark, it-its o.k, im fine" lana replied, starting to breath normally she got up, but her legs gave way
clark quickly caught her
lana smiled meekly at him "thanks"
he picked her up and rested her on his bed, unsure of what he could do to reverse the damage he'd done
"lana, i-im sorry, i, i would never hurt you intentionally, im sorry, i-" his voice got stuck in his throat as he sat on the bed, head in his hands
lana put her hand on his shoulder "clark, i said its fine, it wasnt your fault, i startled you"
clark looked up "no lana, it was my fault, i could've seriously hurt you, if i ever did i could, never forgive myself"
lana held clarks head in her hands, turning him towards her "clark, im not as fragile as you think, that wasn't your fault, you need to understand that"
clark's eyes were filled with tears "lana im just, i could never forgive myself if i let something happened to you"
lana moved her hands, caressing his cheek, clark wrapped his arms around her, holding her tightly
lana held him, her hands running up and down his back soothingly
after a few minutes, but what seemed to them like seconds, they broke apart
lana looked into clarks eyes, seeing the sorrow that lay there
"clark, you should get some sleep" she said
clark nodded, but none made an effort to move
"lana, can you stay?" clark asked
lana looked up at him
"i'd love to" she answered
clark moved over, making room for lana on the small bed
he pulled the covers over them, getting comfortable
lana and clark lay face-to-face, staring into each others eyes
"goodnight clark"
"goodnight lana" he replied
lana turned over, tucking her feet close to clarks
"lana?"
"mmmm" lana mumbled
clark paused before answering "can i hold you?"
lana smiled, answering " you know the answer to that, clark"
clark gently put his arm over lana, pulling her tighter towards him, careful not to hurt her petite body
as clark lay with lana asleep in his arms, he felt right for the first time in weeks
he bent over and gently kissed the sleeping lana, whispering, "i love you lana lang"
then drifted off into a dreamless sleep.
lana opened her eyes, and whispered to the night " i love you too, clark kent"
morning:
a/n: i started this story and i have ansoloutley no idea what to do with it so idea are really welcome!
Clark woke as the sun shone on his face, he smiled as he remembered where he was and who he was with.
he looked over lana, watching her sleep, god she's so beautiful he thought.
clark wondered what was going to happen in his life.
he wanted so much to be with lana, but still he held back
he knew once he told her, everything would change, that he could never take it back
and he didnt think he could lose lana, she was his world.
clark sighed as he layed down and lana stirred beside him
lana turned around, surprised that clark was awake.
"morning" said lana
"morning" clark replied
she snuggled a little bit closer to clark, but not too much to make it obvious
lana looked up at clark and smiled
clark saw this smile
"what?" he asked
lana smiled even more "nothing" she said
this made clark smile too
they lay quietly looking at each other untill lana finally spoke up
"do you want to do something today?" she asked
clark mulled it over in his head
"what do you have in mind?"
lana smiled mischeiviosly
"thats for me to know and you to find out"
clark smiled and sat up "but first i gotta call the hospital and check on dad" he said
lana nodded "of course" she replied
"um, do you have any clothes i can borrow?" lana asked
clark looked around thinking
"um, i dont think i have anything that will fit you" clark said
"but im sure my mom will" he added
clark hopped off the bed and went to his parents room, looking for something for lana to wear
he went to the dresser, opening drawers, untill he found a suitable purple dress
clark stopped when he saw a photo of his dad on top of the dresser
emotions quickly filled him, he was so lucky, clark thought, he could've died
lana came in the room "hey whats taking so-"
"oh"
she stopped when she saw clark looking at a photo, she didnt need to be a genius to figure out who it was of
she walked up to clark and rested her hand on his shoulder
"clark, maybe this isnt such i good i idea, i mean, i understand if you want to be with you dad" lana started
clark shook his head "no lana, he would'nt want me to worry about him"
lana nodded
clark turned around and handed the dress to lana, she felt the material, soft as silk
"its beautiful" lana whispered
clark smiled
"im glad you like it. O.k, so, im gonna do a few chores while you take a shower, then ill take a shower while you prepare for our little trip, o.k?"
lana smiled back at him "o.k, ill be out in 10 or so"
she walked towards the batheroom, closing the door silently
