Accidentally in Love

Chapter 20: Surprised Kisses & Heartbreaks

Clark could only stare in horror at the scene in front of him. 'NO, this can't be, he wouldn't do this to me.' But the evidence was right there and he couldn’t avoid it.

Tears prickled at the back of his eyes. 'How could Oliver do that?' Not wanting to be seen, Clark stepped back into the elevator and left without a word.

As the elevator began to descend, Clark had a difficult time fighting back tears. 'This was completely unfair, how could this happen to him?' His heart felt like it had been ripped out of his chest, it just hurt so much.

This was way worse than when he stumbled upon Lana kissing Lex, he thought he felt betrayed then. Now, he just wanted to die.

The pain wracked his body and his mind was in a jumbled state. 'Oliver, why? Why her? Why not me?'

The minute he was on the ground, he was speeding back to Smallville. He couldn’t stay in the penthouse, he didn’t want to face Lois and Oliver when they finally did break apart. Not when he had no idea what to say … not anymore, anyway.

Tears that had been threatening to spill over did and were streaming down his face as he made his way back to the farm. Clark couldn’t stay in the same city as him, as them. Even Smallville felt too close.

Hell, nowhere on Earth seemed far enough but at least the farm was safe. Within minutes, he saw the farm and he quickly retreated to his loft. He stumbled up the stairs, his knees buckling as he reached the couch.

Letting himself collapse on the ground, Clark buried his head in his hands, choking a sob. He never lost control like this but right now, he couldn’t help himself. There was so much pain, he couldn’t close his eyes without seeing Oliver’s lips on Lois’. God only knew what those two were doing right now.

He felt sick to his stomach as more images popped up in his mind, all of Lois and Oliver. It was nauseating.

Hearing footsteps, he looked up, his teary eyes going wide as he saw Kara at the top of the steps, looking at him sympathetically.

“You’re still here?” He asked.

“Yeah,” Kara said. “Oh, Kal-El.” She made her way to his side, crouching down.

“I went to tell him that I loved him,” he said, “And there he was, kissing Lois.”

Kara gasped. “Are you serious?”

“Yeah, I couldn’t believe it.” Clark said sadly, “I mean, I thought I meant more to him than that.”

“I was worried about you.” Kara admitted. Clark looked at her quizzically. She paused and pulled out an object from her pocket, handing it to him.

Looking down, he was surprised to see his cell phone.

“You forgot this,” she said softly, “And right after you left, I heard it ringing. I picked it up because I was worried it may be important.”

“Who was it?” Clark interrupted, wondering where this story was going.

“Chloe.” Kara answered, frowning slightly. “Apparently, she had been desperately trying to reach you. Lois broke up with Grant and she wanted to go see Oliver, to see if they had a chance of getting back together.”
