chloesullivanChloe has been avoiding calls, emails and text messages all the. The small article on the Planet and the front page of the Smallville Ledger about the mysterious death of the paramedic had a couple of her fellow reporters connecting dots and since gossip tends to spread quickly in the newsroom, they had been trying to contact her, she suspects it's less about condolences and more about articles, and to be honest, she doesn't want either.
And that is one of the reasons that Chloe, for the first time since she started working at the Planet, called in sick today. She didn't want to deal with anyone, she didn't want to have to lie and feel the guilt every time someone says they are sorry about what happened. The one person she feels she could really talk to, who she has been thinking about calling since Clark left for work, is Lana.
Lana has been as tangled in this alien war thing before and Chloe knows she is the one most likely to understand. Not that Clark doesn't, but she knows if she talks too much about how she really feels, he will only blame himself, because he can't help it and he wants to fix things. Lana, however, Chloe thinks Lana can just listen.
Which is why Chloe was glad to hear from her and glad to accept her offer. She checks the clock on her computer and nods a little to herself, Lana should be there soon.
