lex's mansion:

lana walked out of the bathroom, towel tightly wrapped around her

lex turned around, holding a pile of clothes

"oh, sorry, i just came to bring you these" he said

lex placed the clothes down on the bed, before walking out.

lana picked up the clothes he had brought her

a pair of plain black jeans, a short-sleeved rolling stone shirt, and a pair of black boylegs

she sighed, thinking of what she had to do today

she had to see clark, to try and explain her behavior, and hope he'd take her back

lana got dressed and walked out into lex's office

she saw him sitting in his chair, rubbinh his chin subconsciously

lex looked up and saw lana standing there

he stood up and walked over

"i hope the clothes are okay" he said

lana smiled meekly

"their fine, thank you" she answered

lex nodded

"so what are your plans for today?" he asked

lana looked down

"i have to go and see clark"

lex sighed

"are you sure thats a good idea lana?" he said

lana breathed in and out slowly

"yes. We have some things we have to sort out" she answered

lex nodded

"i understand"

lana walked up to him

"lex, i want to thank you, for everything, i mean i just showed up and it was late and i-"

lex cut her off

"lana, a friend in need is a friend in need, its fine" he said

lana smiled

"well, i better go" she said

lana walked out of his office, leaving lex to stand there

clark:

clark coudnt stand to be at home, so he decided on stopping by lex's, sure he could make him feel better.

lana:

lana pulled up at the kent farm, stepping out of clarks truck

she walked into the barn, climbing the steps up to the loft, but found it empty

just like the house

"hello?" lana called out

no one answered

she climbed up the stairs to clarks room, but found that empty as well

"where could he be?" lana thught aloud

a lightbulb went off in her head

"chloe"

lex's mansion:

clark opened the double doors

revealing lex standing in front of a fire, a glass of brandy in his hand

lex kept his eyes on the fire

"hello clark" he said

clark smiled a little, happy to see a friendly face

"hi lex"

he walked over towards lex

"to what do i owe the pleasure?" lex asked

clark swallowed

"i just needed a friend, me and lana had a fight"

"our last fight" he added

lex turned around

mock anger on his face

"would it be because of the fact that you were hiding about BEING AN ALIEN?!" yelled lex

clark's face showed shock and surprise

lex filled up the space between them

"oh yes clark, i know your little secret" he said in a menacing whisper

he turned around grabbing a box down from the mantleplace before turning to face him

"how could you clark?"

"you were my friend! you lied to me for years!" lex's voice rose

"lex, how, how did you find-"

clark was hit with sudden realisation

"lana.." he whispered

lex turned to him "thats right, lana was here last night, shaking and scared."

"i had to learn from HER, that my best friend was an ALIEN!"

"i trusted you" lex said quietly

"and you broke that trust"

he pulled out a small object from the box

clark gasped as he filled with agonising pain

he fell to the floor, squirming

lex stood over clark, holding the meteor rock above him

"you know what having secrets equel? lex asked

"power."

he dropped the rock, landing next to clark

before walking out of the room
