I own none of this. The characters below t Smallville anf the song to Hope. I heard the song on you tube and loved it. I thought it would fit in perfect with the story. I hope you enjoy no fun intended:
Love of my life, my soul mate. You're my best friend. Part of me like breathing now half of me is sad. I don't know anything at all. Who am I to say you love me? I don't know anything at all. Who am I to say you need me… Color me blue I'm lost in you. Don't know why I'm still waiting. Many moons have come and gone, don't know why I'm still searching…
The sad song poured from the speakers as Oliver sat in the chair facing the balcony. He hadn't shaved in days and his hair was a mess. In his hand was a bottle of vodka. It had been three days since you walked out of his life and it was as if he could no longer breathe. Every part of him aching.
Don't know anything at all. Who am I to say you love me? I don't know anything at all. And who am I to say you need me? Now you're a song I love to sing. Never thought I'd feel so free. Now I know what's meant to be. And that's okay with me. But who am I to say you love me? And who am I to say you need me. And who am I to say you love me? I don't know anything at all…
The elevator doors open to the apartment. Oliver doesn't flinch. It's as if he is paralyzed. Clark enters shocked to hear the sad song on the radio and the empty vodka bottles laying around Oliver's chair.
"Oliver, what's going on?" Clark asked concerned as he turned off the radio.
"Go away, Clark."
Clark walked between Oliver and his view of the Daily Planet building out side his window. "No. Did you have help drinking all of this? And where is Olivia and your wife?"
Oliver looked up at Clark with the hurt in his eyes. "Olivia is with A.C."
"Where is…" Clark started to say, but Oliver cut him off.
"… Chloe left."
"She what?" Clark couldn't believe that Chloe would do something like that. She was head over heels for Oliver and Olivia was her life."Chloe wouldn't do that."
Oliver stood up dropping the new empty bottle to the floor. "Look around, Clark. Would I be sitting here drinking up all my sorrows if my life was here with me?"
"Why did she leave?"
"She said that she was afraid that she might hurt Olivia or me."
"That's stupid." Clark said.
Oliver made his way over to the liquor cabinet to find it bare. He slammed the door shut. "Clark, I don't know where she is. She just told me that she needed to find out whom she'd become. I can't go on like this. I can't live without seeing her face first thing in the morning or hearing her down the hallway at night as she tells Olivia a bedtime story."
"I search till I find her. I'll bring her back, Oliver. I promise." Clark walked over to his friend and placed his hand on his shoulder. "She'll be back where she belongs."
Oliver reached over and hugged Clark. He knew if Chloe would listen to any one it would be Clark. "Thanks, man."
Clark nodded. "Now do me a favor and stay away from the sad music and the booze. Okay."
"Okay." Oliver smiled for the first time in three days.

Victor poured two cups of coffee. He placed them on the silver tray and took them out to the balcony of his Star City apartment. "I made fresh coffee and I found some muffins I bought a couple of days ago. I hope that their still good." He said as he placed them on the table.
"I'm sure that there fine."
"So when did you get to Star City?" He asked taking a seat at the table.
Chloe turned around and walked over taking a seat at the table by him. "A couple of days ago. I 've been staying in a hotel, but I'm running out of cash and I can't use my credit card or my debit card, because I know that Oliver will trace them." She traced the rim of her coffee cup. "I need a place to stay, just for a while."
Victor didn't like the thought of Oliver's wife running away. But he wouldn't turn her away. "You can stay here as long as you like. No questions asked. Just know that I don't approve of it. You should be at home with your family. But since I don't know why you left and I know you'll tell me when your ready. You can stay here and I want tell Oliver."
"Thanks, Victor."
"Make yourself at home."
Chloe smiled as she leaned back in her chair. Three days and she missed her family like crazy. She didn't know how she was going to live if she didn't learn how to control her new power. She just hoped and prayed that she would learn soon so that she could return home.
