Mini-break.
Come pick me up
Take me out
Fuck me up
Steal my records
Screw all my friends
Behind my back
With a smile on your face
And then do it again...

A few years more and it could have been Lana. With a little more tact and a bit more time together, it could even have been Chloe.
Looking back on it now, in way that he never did before, Clark can see things that he ignored. Signs that he should have paid attention to: Desiree. Victoria.
But hindsight is perfect vision, and now it’s too late.
Lex can never be alone, Clark has always known that, but somehow he always thought that he would have more time to prove that they were supposed to be together. Clark always thought that they would have more chances to get things right, to work through the wrongs.
Clark never expected his chances to run out, he never expected Dr. Helen Bryce. But he was foolish, and now... well, now his destiny will have to lie with someone else.
Despite whatever Lex says about the isolation of his childhood, despite whatever misgiving he has about friendship, Lex is not meant to be by himself. He will always need someone by his side, he will always want someone to be by his side to approve of what he does, or to even disapprove. Clark was lax in his responsibilities. He kept putting things off, and Lex has needs now. Clark has always been contingent upon later.
Now there is no later.
Now there is only Helen and it pains Clark in ways he thought he could never be hurt. He's not invulnerable, even when he tries to turn a blind eye.
It could have been anyone, Clark can see that now.
He just always thought it would be him.
