Lying…sometimes it was easier than the truth and sometimes it was easier to lie to yourself and the world.
Lana was staying in a hotel in Metropolis that was conveniently close to the Daily Plant, she would take any chance that she could to see Clark. She walked into the Daily Planet like she owned the place, well when she was married to Lex she almost did.
"Lana, the nightmare continues" said a voice behind her that sounded sickeningly familiar to her
Lana turned around and was staring straight into the eyes of a person she thought disappeared forever
"Lex" she said sounding shocked "I thought that you disappeared"
"Yeah, the thing about that is when you have all the power in the world people tend to look for you" said Lex
"What about Clark?" she asked
"What about me?"
Clark Kent came out into the hallway from his office in the Daily Planet, he looked the same except less brooding and happier
"Lex!" said Clark giving is friend a hug and ignoring Lana
"Hi Clark, look who showed up" said Lex
"Oh, hi Lana" said Clark
"Clark, I'm so happy to see you. I missed you so much" she said smiling
"Very believable lie Lana, I almost believed you" said Clark laughing
As Lana stood there shocked, Clark and Lex went Clark's office.
"I don't believe it" she said out loud
"Believe it Lana, Clark doesn't need you" Whitney said
"Not you again…."Lana said as she made her way out of the Daily Planet
"Why don't you ever bring me any good news?" she said annoyed
"What do you expect me to tell you Lana? That Clark cried and cried for you…that he watched your pathetic break up video a million times while eating gallons of ice cream? Said Whitney
Lana got out her keys and opened her car door and got inside. Clearly ignoring the Whitney phantom, she pulled out of her parking spot and started driving back to her hotel room shaking her head. Being a former Smallville resident she knew all about things weird and strange but this was beyond weird and strange. Lana arrived at her hotel, she couldn't believe that she of all people was staying in a hotel but what could she do now. Lana dialed her cell phone number as she got her hotel room key out of her wallet.
"Clark Hi! It's Lana" she said
"What, I'm busy" Clark said sounding annoyed
"I was thinking that we could get together and catch up" said Lana
"Can't I'm going out to dinner with Lex and oh yeah my fiancé" said Clark
Lana's mouth dropped, she felt like she was hit in the stomach with an 18 wheeler, ran over, and then caught in a tornado, and the stomped on by a horse…again.
"You're…." Lana could barely get the word out "engaged"
"Yeah" said Clark simply "now I have to go"
"Clark, what about me? What about us?" asked Lana holding back tears
"Lana, there is no us…..there never was any us" said Clark "goodbye"
Lana hung up her phone, and looked around the room, the Whitney's ghost was back and he was sitting in the corner.
"He's engaged…Clark's engaged and he's friends again with Lex Luthor" said Lana out loud
"Did I forget to tell you that?" asked Whitney "I really need to start writing things down, if I could"
"I hate you" said Lana
"No Lana, they hate you" said Whitney
