Finding Light in Darkness

Just lost

Clark stood with his parents in the kitchen while Lillianna sat quietly in the livingroom. Lillianna stood and headed to the door.  Johnathan Kent started to stop her but his wife Martha put her hand on his arm and just shook her head. Lillianna stepped outside and walked down the stairs and away from the house. Clark made his way outside.
"She should be fine."
"You didn't see what I did when they told her that her parents were dead."
"What do you mean?"
"Dad she has powers. Telekinesis things shook I took her away from the people and anything that she could break and once we were away she lost it. She screamed I watched several trees in a 20 foot radius explode. I mean they just they just were gone. Splinters everywhere."
"Anyone hurt?"
"No, I mean she even tossed me a bit of a distance. I finally calmed her down."
"You haven't talked to her in over a year, what made you talk to her today?"
"Chloe made a comment that I was looking at her like a boy who's lost his best friend."
"Son you were close to her and when you walked away from her, choosing to spend time with Lana trying to make a relationship work you blew her off."
"I know and I regret it. I dont know what to do. I think she came with me because she isnt even thinking."
"Well son you're going to have to deal with what you've caused."
"I know." Clark walked off the porch and headed in the direction Lillianna had gone. He found her near the tree line on the edge of the property. He jumped slightly as a tree exploded as she swung out her hand. She turned and another joined it.
"You'd come in handy during harvest season." He said joking as he walked toward her. Lillianna turned her deep green eyes blazing she raised her hands and he lifted off the ground.
"Why do you care? You never cared before?"
"Lilly stop, I'm sorry for the way I acted I never should have pushed you away. " Clark said. He looked down noticing he was some distance off the ground. Lillianna moved her hand and he fell to the ground. He stood and looked at her, he could see her anger but he could see the sadness too.
"This isnt just because your mad at me. I understand that your upset and you have a right to be. Your parents just died. Dont bottle it up." He walked to her, he tentatively reached out for her. Lillianna moved forward and accepted the hug he was offering and walked into his arms. He wrapped his arms around her, he could feel her crying against him. He knew he couldn't take her back to the house like he would normally so he stood there. She stopped crying stepped back a little and looked up into his blue eyes.
"Do you know how much I hated you this morning at school. How much I wanted to hurt you?"
"I can imagine. I didn't treat you the best over the last year. And thinking about it I wasnt raised to act that way."
"You left here in the spring and came back after three months and you changed something about you changed. You kept everyone at arms length. I saw how cold you were to everyone. I over heard Chloe say she saw you in Metropolis you were mean."
"Yes I was. I dont want to talk about that time."
"What happened? They said you changed. I see the same farm boy I was always friends with when we were kids. My crush that I always liked."
"It was nothing."
"It had to be something because I saw Lana at the Talon and she was scared of you."
"I got into something I shouldn't have. I got away from it. I won't ever go back to that again."
"And yet those at the school judge me over my emotional outbursts. They treat me badly and expect me to be friendly and sweet. I have nearly been expelled twice."
"The other students do judge people too quickly. I'm sorry for that."
"There was nothing you did for them to treat me like that. I'm different and they know it. I need to cool off I am taking a walk."
"I'll go with you."
"No, I need to be alone I wont be gone long."
"Alright." Clark said to her. He watched as Lillianna walked away from him. He could see she wanted to forgive him but he had a long way to go to get her to even attempt that.
