its was 10: 40pm, clark and lana walked up the porch steps
clark turned to lana
"um, can you go sit up in the loft, i just need a minute" clark said
lana nodded, and started walking towards the barn
clark walked inside, just as the phone rang
he walked over and picked it up
'hello?" clark said
"hi clark, its mom"
"hi mom, hows dad?"
"awake actually, he wants to see you"
clarks heart swelled in his chest
"ill be right there"
"o.k, bye"
"bye"
clark put down the phone and super-sped to the hospital, forgetting a waiting lana sat in his loft
at the hospital:
clark walked into the room, trying to contain his excitement
his dad was sitting up in the bed
clark smiled, walking over to him and hugging him
"hi son" johnathan said
"hi dad" clark replied
they just stayed that way for a few minutes, a father and son re-united
they broke apart, johnathan patting clarks shoulder
"you look happy" johnathan said
clark smiled ever harder "i am"
at the barn:
lana walked inside the house, looking around
"clark?" she said aloud
she looked in all the rooms, but was no where to be found
lana went back inot the barn, sitting on the couch
big sobs started rising in her throat, she could no longer contain them
they racked her body
lana sat with her head in her hands, crying over the man she loved
the hospital:
clark and johnathan talked, clark filling him in on what happened and whats been happening
they sat enjoying each others company
"so the tractors in the barn?" johnathan asked
"yeah i put it in there today and- clark stopped short, remembering what else was in the barn
"clark?" martha asked
realisation flooded clark
he looked up at the clock, realsing he had been gone for a good 20 minutes
"dad, i gotta go, ill see you guys in the morning"
clark ran out the hospital, super-speeding towards his farm
kent farm:
lana grabbed the car keys, walking through the door, tears streaming down her face
suddenly clark was in front of her
lana stopped
she rose her hand and slapped clark
not that it hurt, but clark flinched, hurt that lana had just slapped him
"the night we're supposed to fix everything, and you leave?!" lana yelled angrily
"how could you clark?! was it worthy going to wherever you went?!"
she side stepped him and headed towards the truck opening the door
"lana" clark said after
clark followed and grabbed her arm but lana pulled away
"dont touch me!" she said
fire burned in her eyes, in front of a pool of pain and sadness
"unless you can tell me right now, it's over, for good"
this was not how clark wanted this to play out
"lana, its not that easy- he was broken off
"easy?! you want to talk about this not being easy?!" said lana
"how about this, the night your boyfriend goes to tell you his secret, the one thing stopping them having a relationship, the one thing you've waited for, and he goes and runs away!"
lana turned and got in the truck, slamming the door
"lana, please, i can explain!" clark stammered
lana turned to him "tell me now, or we're finished" she said quietly
clark felt as if he had to choose between the most important things in his life
"i, im"
