Authors Note: If I owned Smallville Lois would have been introduced with her kissing Clark and Lana would be in a psyche ward.
Now I didn't get as many reviews as I wanted but I'm going to post this chapter anyway cause I'm incrediably happy. Know why. CAUSE LANA HAS FINALLY LEFT SMALLVILLE FOR GOOD. *lets off fireworks* the way in now clear for lots of Clois love. Now I know you all want Lana to leave this story as well but I need her to stick around for a little while longer. However she does finally flip her lid and is taking a couple of chapters vacation so you can put away the pitchforks and flaming torches.
For L,G and A
Happy Reading
Alone Again
"Lois" Clark cried gripping onto her arm "stay. We can work this out."
Lois shook her head "Let me go Smallville" she begged.
He stood his ground "I'll let you go if you can look me in the eye and tell me you don't love me."
Lois gulped and said nothing for what felt like hours before looking Clark straight in the eye "I don't love you Clark."
Clark said nothing instead dropping her arm before collapsing onto the bed and watching her walk towards the door. "Be happy Smallville" she said before walking away.
The next few days were hell for both Clark and Lois. Clark spent all his time in the loft staring at pictures of him and Lois while Lois hardly left her room and had cleared Chloe out of tissues and ice-cream. One morning Clark was lying on the couch when he heard a car pull into the yard. Standing up he saw Chloe make her way up to the loft.
"Hey Clark" she said sitting down as Clark pulled up to make room.
"Hey Chloe" he said softly looking away from her to a picture of Lois and Shelby on the shelf nearby.
"So what happened" Chloe said eventually.
Clark sat up and sighed "I don't know" he said "things were going fine then she left."
"Something must have changed" Chloe insisted.
Clark shook his head "those Intergang thugs came but we sorted that."
"Anything else."
Clark looked away "Lana came round" he whispered eventually "she went to congratulate Lois about the pair of us." He looked up "you don't think."
Chloe shook her head "I think you need to have a chat with our dear Miss Lang Clark and find out exactly how she 'congratulated' my cousin."
Clark nodded "I think your right" he replied reaching across for his cell phone and dialling Lana's number. "Lana" he said mock cheerfully when she picked up "could you come over. I think we need to talk."
A little while later Lana entered the loft and found Clark sitting on the couch "Hello Lana" he said stiffly standing up.
"Hi Clark" she said happily not noticing his tone "what did you want."
Clark turned away and walked towards the window "what did you say to Lois" he said eventually.
"What do you mean?" Lana asked innocently.
"YOU KNOW WHAT I MEAN" Clark yelled "Everything was going fine. Then you swan in here and the next thing I know Lois is packing her bags." He stalked closer to her and grabbed her arms "so what did you say."
"I honestly don't know what you mean" Lana said.
"Don't mess with me" Clark began but was interrupted by the feel of Lana's lips against his. He stood shocked for several seconds before pushing Lana away and stumbling back. "What was that" he gasped.
"Isn't it obvious" Lana said batting her eyelashes and stepping forward.
"Why" Clark asked quietly.
For the first time since she had arrived Lana's smile faltered "I thought" she said almost to herself.
"What did you think" Clark demanded stepping closer and looking his former girlfriend in the eye "tell me."
She looked away from him "I thought…when you called that maybe…you'd seen…sense."
"What do you mean 'seen sense'" Clark asked confused.
Lana laid a hand on Clark's arm and looked him in the eye "I thought you wanted us to get back together."
Clark shook his head "We're over Lana you know that."
"No" Lana said "It's like I told that tramp Lois. We're meant to be together. I thought you knew that."
Clark retreated to the couch "No Lana. I used to think that but not anymore. We're over. I'm with Lois and I don't appreciate you referring to her like that."
"But what about me." Lana pouted.
"I'm sorry Lana" Clark said "but I love Lois."
"BUT YOU CAN'T" Lana screamed "YOUR SUPPOSED TO LOVE ME. HOW CAN YOU LOVE SOMEONE WHO DOESN'T EVEN REMEMBER THEIR OWN FAMILY?"
"Because it's Lois" Clark said simply "when I'm with her nothing matters not even the amnesia. I'm happy so long as I have her and" he said looking Lana directly in the eye "she cares about me."
"I care about you" Lana whimpered.
"No you don't Lana" Clark said "if you did you wouldn't have left all those times. If you cared you would have tried to find me when I ran away." He stood up and walked towards the window. "I think you should go now."
He heard Lana run forward and felt her grab his arm "but were meant to be together."
Clark turned and shook his head "no Lana" he said gently "we're not."
"But you love me" she said piteously.
Clark gently pried her fingers from her arm "No Lana. I did love you. Emphasis on the did. In fact" he whispered "I don't think I ever did."
Lana looked confused "what do you mean" she asked.
"I idolised you I think" Clark replied "I wanted you for so long. But can you honestly say that we know anything about each other. We always rushed into a relationship never taking the time to get to know each other first. That's why Lois and I work because we have years of friendship to fall back on."
Lana shook her head refusing to admit defeat "no" she said quietly "we're going to get back together." With that she launched herself at Clark jumping on him and wrapping her legs around his waist.
Clark pushed her off him not even attempting to be gentle "Don't Lana" he said "just don't."
"Clark" she said looking up at him from the floor.
"Just go Lana. Before you embarrass your self anymore,"
Lana got up and walked towards the stairs "this isn't over Clark "she muttered darkly "I'll be back. And we WILL get back together." With that she left the loft.
"How does she talk in capitals like that" Clark thought before shaking his head and heading towards his truck "now I've just got to talk to Lois."
An hour later Clark was knocking on the door of Chloe's apartment. A second later Chloe opened the door "Hey Clark" she whispered.
"Hey Chloe" he said "how's Lois"
"Sleeping. Did you talk to Lana?"
Clark nodded "it's over" he said "at last. Can I see Lois?"
Chloe shook her head "she asked me not to let you in if you came round Clark."
Clark's face fell "I need to see her Chloe. I need to explain."
Chloe shook her head "I'm sorry Clark. You're my friend but Lois is my cousin. I have to look after her first.
"Please Chloe" Clark begged.
Chloe shook her head "I'm sorry Clark. Come back later."
"I'll wait" Clark said defiantly sitting against the door "talk to her for me will you?"
Chloe nodded "I'll try."
"Thanks Chloe" Clark replied and watching the door closed pulled out his iPod before moving into a more comfortable position.
I find the map and draw a straight line
Over rivers, farms, and state lines
The distance from 'A' to where you'd be
It's only finger-lengths that I see
I touch the place where I'd find your face
My finger in creases of distant dark places
I hang my coat up in the first bar
There is no peace that I've found so far
The laughter penetrates my silence
As drunken men find flaws in science
Their words mostly noises
Ghosts with just voices
Your words in my memory
Are like music to me
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
I, I pray that something picks me up
And sets me down in your warm arms
After I have travelled so far
We'd set the fire to the third bar
We'd share each other like an island
Until exhausted, close our eyelids
And dreaming, pick up from
The last place we left off
Your soft skin is weeping
A joy you can't keep in
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
And I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
I'm miles from where you are,
I lay down on the cold ground
and I, I pray that something picks me up
and sets me down in your warm arms
Lulled by the soft music and exhausted by the last couple of day's Clark fell into a dreamless sleep.
"Who was that" Lois asked sleepily emerging from the bedroom.
"No one" Chloe said quickly
"Chloe" Lois said slowly "who was it."
Chloe breathed out "It was Clark."
Lois looked away "did you tell him I didn't want to see him."
Chloe nodded "He's out there though."
Lois collapsed into a chair "why won't he just leave me alone."
Chloe sat down opposite her "because he loves you."
Lois shook her head "If he loved me he wouldn't have lied about Lana."
"He didn't" Chloe sighed "Clark loves you."
"If he didn't lie then how come he never told me about him and Lana?" Lois demanded.
"He never told you cause they weren't together" Chloe replied exasperated.
"But Lana said" Lois objected.
"Lana LIED" Chloe yelled "she's messed up and can't fact the fact that Clark is in love with anyone but her."
Lois looked away "your serious aren't you."
Chloe nodded "Clark was obsessed with Lana for so long that she finally reached the stage where she thought he always would be no matter how badly she treated him. What she didn't count on was him finding someone else."
Lois broke down "I've screwed things up haven't I."
"No" Chloe said soothingly "Lana did but" she paused "you do need to talk to Clark."
"Will he want to talk though" Lois said softly.
"Lois" Chloe said firmly "If he didn't I doubt he'd be sitting out in the corridor."
Lois laughed "I guess your right."
Chloe walked over to the door and opening it stepped outside "Hey Clark" she said tapping him on the shoulder.
"Hey Chloe" he said stretching and standing up "what is it."
Chloe moved towards the door "Lois wants to talk."
Clark quickly followed her into the apartment "hello Lois" he said softly.
"Hello Clark" she replied
"Lois" Clark began "I'm so sorry. I saw Lana and she told me what she did and I."
"I know Smallville" Lois said suddenly.
"You do" Clark replied.
"Chloe explained. I'm sorry too Clark I should have waited and let you explain."
Clark walked over and laid a hand on Lois arm "it's okay Lois. It's not your fault."
"Yes it is Clark" Lois cried "how can I expect you to love me if I run off like that." She paused and walked away "maybe we should wait till I get my memory back. It's not like my mind is reliable at the moment."
"What" Clark gasped "Lois what are you saying."
"I'm saying how do I know what I feel is actually how I feel. I don't remember anything Smallville. I could get my memory back and then be completed disgusted by the fact that we're together. "
"Lois please" Clark said desperately.
"No Clark" Lois said "For the moment I love you too much to put you through that."
Clark grabbed her arm "Lois I don't care. I don't care if you wake up tomorrow and then immediately throw up at the thought of sleeping next to me. I don't care if the amnesia lasts for years and we get married only for you to break it off. I don't care about any of that so long as your there."
Lois looked up at him "why."
"Because I love you Lois" Clark replied "not in a 'you're my girlfriend so I love you way' not in a 'your family' way and defiantly not in a 'Lana' way but in 'I couldn't live without you' way.
Lois stared at him "do you mean that."
Clark nodded "every word. You're the first thing I think about in the morning and the last thing I think about at night, you're the only person I've ever felt truly understood me and the only person I can be myself around. I love you Lois Joanne Lane."
Lois looked like she was about to cry "I love you too Clark. I'm sorry I left like that."
"No harm no foul Lois" Clark said wrapping his arms around her "do you want to come back to the farm."
Lois simply nodded before reaching up to kiss Clark.
Several miles away Lana entered her own apartment and walking into the bedroom reached into her wardrobe and pulled out a large box. Opening it she took out several pieces of paper and studied them. In her hands was everything she had managed to copy from the spell book of Margaret Isobel Thoreaux.
