   I'll Die Anyway: Girl In Red

"Martha, what happened?" I get out of the car with Miles and Selina.

"They just called and said there was some kind of explosion." Martha tells me with Clark next to her.

"What?" Miles turns his head and we follow him to the ambulance.

"Lionel, it's Brianna. We're here." I say.

"Lex." Lionel says through the oxygen mask.

"I left Lex a message and said it was an emergency." Martha informs.

"He's still down there." He takes the oxygen mask off his face.

"Folks, he has to get into the E.R." The EMT tells us as he wheels Lionel.

"Brianna. Clark." Lionel chokes out. "You have to help him. Lex is being held hostage."

"Do the police know what happened to him?" Clark asks.

"Yes, but there's no time." He wheezes.

"We need to move." The EMT urges as we enter the hospital.

"One second. Where is Lex?" I question.

"They'll never find him, even if they get through the debris. It's a maze of tunnels. You two gotta find him. He's put something terrible into motion down there. Lex is the only one who can stop it." Lionel tells me.

"Let's go. Let's go." The EMT wheels Lionel away.

"Stay here and call Chloe." I tell Miles and Selina before leaving.

"Brianna." Clark follows me. "Brianna." He turns me around.

"I need you to let me go."

"What?" He furrows his eyebrows.

"I need to to let me-"

"That's never gonna happen, do you understand me? And whatever reason you're pushing me away for, just stop it. We can figure it out together. Let me help you."

"I don't need help." I turn.

"Brianna." Clark turns me back around and I hit his body.

"What?"

"I love you." He looks me in the eyes.

"Don't." I warn.

"I love you." He leans in closer to me. "And I'm gonna keep saying it. Whether we're together or not, because I want you to always know it. Brianna, I love you." He whispers the last part, leaning his head against mine.
