smallville nostalgia

i just want to share my MOST favorite episode in the history of Smallville.. this appeared in Season 2..

"Chloe comes inside and Jonathan goes up the stairs. Chloe sits in the rocking chair next to the couch where Clark is still lying unconscious.

Chloe: Hi, Clark. (She squeezes his shoulder) Well, this is gonna make quite a story. "Clark Kent ends record-breaking perfect attendance streak." (Silently grins at her own by-line joke) Sorry. I’m doing it again. I just-- I’ve never seen you sick before, and it just got me thinking, you know? What if something did happen to you? And I-I never got to... (Pause) So in yet another classic maneuver to avoid emotional intimacy, I wrote my feelings down so that I could read them to you, thereby eliminating embarrassing eye contact.

She pulls a pink piece of paper out of her purse and starts to read.

Chloe: “I want to let you in on a secret. I’m not who you think I am. In fact, my disguise is so thin, I’m surprised you haven’t seen right through me. I’m the girl of your dreams masquerading as your best friend. Sometimes I want to rip off this facade like I did at the Spring Formal, but I can’t because you’ll get scared and you’ll run away again. So I decided that it’s better to live with a lie than expose my true feelings.”

(She starts to get choked up and stops reading for a second)

Chloe: This is so much easier when you’re unconscious.

(She runs her fingers through his hair brushing Clark's bangs to one side of his head and starts to read again)

Chloe: “My dad told me there are two types of girls. The ones you grow out of and the ones you grow into. I really hope I’m the latter. I may not be the one you love today, but I’ll let you go for now, hoping one day you’ll fly back to me because I think you’re worth the wait.” (She puts the paper down on her lap and runs her fingers through his hair again. He stirs) Clark?

Clark: (Quietly Still out of it and eyes closed, groans) Lana?

A tear slides down Chloe’s cheek. She quickly puts the paper back in her hand bag and quickly gets up and starts leaving. When she gets to the door she looks back at where Clark is laying still asleep. She walks out and closes the door before starting to cry. "

Awww....
