Feel it everyday,
It’s all the same,
It brings me down
But I’m the one to blame.

Chloe sat down in her desk at the Daily Planet, waiting for Clark to come. She needed his help for a story she was working on. It was about the mysterious death about a 33.1 subject, who was found in an alleyway late last night. She called Clark, even though she could figure this out on her own. The truth was, since she had been avoiding him, she had started to miss him. She deciding that there was no point in trying anymore. She would just have to deal with him, and her problems.

So here I go again,
Chasing you down agin,
Why do I do this?

Chloe sat in her desk, losing her patience. She had called him over 5 minutes ago. At the speeds he goes, he could have gone to China and back like 40 times by now. Where the hell was he? She sighed and looked down at her desk, a picture catching her eye. It was of her and Clark, along with Pete and Lana. What made this picture so special was, Clark had his arm around her, not Lana. Chloe had often wondered what life would be like, if it had stayed that way. She would have Clark, but in some sense she wouldn’t. Sure, he would love her with all his heart, but he wouldn’t have trusted her for fear of losing her. She wouldn’t be his faithful sidekick, she wouldn’t know of his powers, or his origin. So, she guessed it was better this way. This way he trusted her with everything, even if he didn’t love her back.

Over and Over,
Over and Over,
I fall for you,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
I try not to.

Chloe had tried to convince herself that she didn’t love Clark, that they were just friends to her, nothing more. So far, it hadn’t been working. Every time she saw him, all her feelings for him came flooding back, threatening to drown her. Every time she saw him, it was like she couldn’t keep her eyes off of him. Jimmy had noticed this every time they were together, and he had broken up with her because of it. Sure, they had gotten back together later, but none of that mattered now. He was off on a work mission, and she had fallen in love with Clark again.

Feels like everyday,
It stays the same,
It’s dragging me down
And I can’t pull away.
So here I go again,
Chasing you down again,
Why do I do this?

‘There he is.' Chloe thought as she caught sight of him coming down the stairs. "About time. Keep me waiting why don’t you." Clark came rushing down the stairs, his smile filling Chloe’s heart up with joy. ‘Wait, think... I can’t do this, he’ll just break my heart again.’ So Chloe’s smile was only a brief one, even if Clark did look overjoyed to see her. ‘Wait a second. He looks overjoyed?’ She looked at him closely, examining his every feature, and sure enough, his face was vibrant, his smile bright enough to light up the entire room. Chloe was confounded, but that didn’t stop Clark from giving her an enormous hug as soon as he reached her.

Over and Over
Over and Over,
I fall for you,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
I try not to.
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
You make me fall for you,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
You don’t even try.

Chloe felt Clark press himself closer to her, holding her tight. She could feel his warmth fill her entire body as he smiled at her.
"Are you okay?"Clark’s eyes were betraying his concern, no matter how calm he kept his tone of voice.
"Of course, Why shouldn’t I be?" Chloe was confused but at the same amused by his concern.
"It’s just, I haven’t seen you in a while. It’s like you’ve been avoiding me." Chloe smile faded for a second, and when Clark saw this he added. "You know you can tell me everything."
"I.......I’m sorry Clark." Chloe looked down, but Clark lifted her face back up with his gentle touch. She saw that his smile had reappeared, making her feel a lot better. She looked into the green depths of his eyes, and fell in love again.
---
So many thoughts that I can’t get out of my head,
I’ve tried to live without you,
Every time I do I feel duped,
I know what’s best for me,
But I want you instead,
I’ll keep on wasting all my time.
---
Clark’s smile grew bigger and he held her tightly. It felt so good to be back in his arms again, that she forgot everything. As she rested her head on his shoulder she forgot that she was supposed to be avoiding him for her own good. So she wouldn’t get hurt again, but her common sense had vanished into thin air. She couldn’t care less right now.

Over and Over,
Over and Over,
I fall for you,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
I try not to,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
You make me fall for you,
Over and Over,
Over and Over,
You don’t even try to.

Chloe looked up at him, feeling as if the empty space she had fought with for the past month had been filling agin. Little did she know, Clark was feeling the same way.
He didn’t know what had caused her to avoid him, but he was glad it was over now. Life had been so pointless without her, and he started to realize exactly what he was missing when she was gone. He had only noticed this feeling two or three times before, but he thought it was long gone by know. He was wrong. His feelings for Chloe were re-discovered in her absence. He would die without her, and he had come close in the past month. But as he saw her smile, he couldn’t help a goofy grin starting to cover his face. Seeing her smile again was worth all the despair and agony that had become a natural occurrence in his life lately. He wanted to admit his feelings for her, right there right now, but something held him back. That something was Jimmy. She loved him, and he loved her back, so it would never work. It was obvious Chloe had lost her feelings for him as soon as Jimmy came back into her life. Dismissing him as just a friend that day over a year ago had crushed him, as if he had just been pummelled into the ground by a meteor. Clark had just decided to kiss her on the cheek, as a friendly gesture, nothing more. Who was he kidding? Of course it meant more to him, but it wouldn’t to Chloe, or at least he thought. ((BDA he is)) He kissed her on her cheek, and looking her straight in the eye afterwards, made him blush.
He looked down at the ground, and missed Chloe’s blush. He still had no idea what he meant to her, and maybe he never will. Oh well, a person can hope, can’t they?
