I sat alone in the loft, I needed not to be bothered by my parents right now. Either with them talking about the plant, or them noticing something was wrong and badgering me till I caved and told them. There was footsteps and Clark came up joining me he looked as bad as I felt.
"You look how I feel." I comment picking at the fusion as I was sat on the sofa
"Like the world is crushing down."
"Yeah. So what's crushing you bro?" I wonder as he came and sat next to me. Maybe what both of us needed right now was good old fashion just us two.
"I just found out that Chloe might be leaving for good. Not sure I really believe it's true." he told me and it was like the universe twinned us together once again.
"I know what you mean."
"I know, she's your friend too." he replied and I shook my head
"No, it's not that. Well it is that but it's not that." I sigh "Whitney is going off to join the Marines." I admitted out loud as he rested his arm on my legs
"That's intense."
"He told me he was doing it for us. I mean how can it be for us when I'm the one that's stuck here growing a baby? One minute we're working on assignments and going to ultrasound appointments. The next he's putting on a uniform and saving the world. Sorry, I just dumped on you, you're having your own thing with Chloe."
"It's fine." he brushed it off "How did you leave it?"
"I froze, that was after I freaked on him. What do I say because anything that comes out sounds selfish. When the truth is, the only reason i am is because i'm pregnant. If I wasn't and he chose this, I wouldn't like it but I would accept it because he found his purpose."
"But you are so you can't. When does he leave?"
"Saturday night." I answer "I can't believe we're losing Whitney and Chloe all in one go."
"Me neither."
"I guess this is what it feels like to be left behind." I comment "It sucks." I moved so that the two of us can hug each other.

Clark and I were putting up a new fence. Clark slammed the posts into the ground while i worked on hammering the slats and pushing the nails in. He went to go further and got into the truck.
Boom
I was knocked away and felt on my back. For crying out loud, could i go five minutes wouth getting caught in some kind of blast. I stood up and patted off the little flames. Clark got out of the truck and removed his literally flaming, jacket and t-shirt.
"You all right?" Clark asked
"No. It's getting boring now. How many times to I have to get caught up in something that makes people question how my baby keeps on going. What the hell happened?!"
"I don't know." Mom and Dad came running out and we head over to join them.
"We called the fire brigade, they're on their way. Are you two all right."
"Apart from a grumpy Mia. We're okay." Clark answered
"I'm not grumpy I'm annoyed. The truck just blew up, any normal person would have died or have 3rd degree burns. Not us, we walk it off and even more eyes are on us." I snip "I'm going to shower."
Clark and I had showered and dressed. He came down the stairs and mom and Dad came down the hall.
"What do you think caused the explosion?" Clark questioned
"My guess is it was a leaky fuel line. The fumes must have ignited the fertiliser in the truck. I should have check it better." Dad shook his head
"I'm just glad it was me in the cab and not one of you." mom hugged the both of us "The truth is I barely felt the heat this time."
"Yeah, all I felt was my ass hitting the ground. The debris didn't leave any bruises either and thats with both of us." I added
"As you're getting older, your bodies must be getting stronger." Mom theorised
--------
We went to school and i was at my locker when Whitney came over. I sighed and slammed my locker shut, walking away.
"Are you really still mad? Mia." he rushed to keep in step with me
"Believe it or not, not everything revolves around you making me feel abandoned at three months pregnant. The truck blew up this morning." he went to speak "Before you freak. I'm fine, I wasn't near it. I'm just sick and tired of things going Boom. Literally and metaphorically."
"I'm not abandoning you, Mia." he stops me
"Really? Because it's not college your going to. It's marine training and then who knows where to do who knows what. With college we could visit each other, you could make time to come to appointment and be there when I pushing out something the size of a watermelon out. I can't plan a baby for when you're on leave. What about Spring formal? my first dance that I get to go with anyone let alone you and you can't even make that. So excuse me for being upset." I pull away and head to my next class. Clark and i head to the Talon for a drink when we're randomly stopped.
"If I could just have one minute of your time, Clark and Mia." some random stopped us
"How do you know our names?" Clark questioned moving me behind him a little.
"Roger Nixon. I'm a journalist with the inquisitor, and I would like to write a story about the two of you." He introduced himself
"We're not interested." Clark retorts taking my hand and leading me out
"Why weren't either of you hurt in that explosion? Mia this was your second blast, yet you and your baby are completely healthy. You were in that truck on the farm." What the actual hell
"Neither of us were near the truck."
"Am I missing something interesting?" Lex questioned and Mr Nixon turned around
"Lex.
"You know my name, but I don't know yours." Lex replied
"Roger Nixon. I work for the Inquisitor."
"When is someone gonna put that bad excuse for a tabloid out of it's misery?" Lex questioned
"It was nice meeting you Lex. I'm sure we'll be talking again soon, you two." Mr Nixon left and I was pissed
"You son of a bitch. I can't believe i defended you." I scoff shaking my head "You're still investigating Clark...Us that you're sticking a dog on us and seeing what fits."
"Mia, I have no idea what you're talking about?"
"Oh so him making outlandish and impossible comments is not of your doing? You know what. Go fuck yourself. This towns better off without you." I storm out and away
