Learn to be lonely
Learn how to love life that is lived alone

It had been a few months since Jonathan died and Martha was still having trouble moving on. Sure she tried playing it off that she was just fine around friends and family. But who was she kidding, she was dying inside. Even around Clark she tried to hide her real feelings, but he knew better.

She got ready to go to bed that night It was the same ever since that night. She would go to bed, alone, feeling that empty space near her. She held Jonathan's pillow close to her and cried. She missed him so much and she wanted him back with her.

"Mom you want me to get anything?" Clark asked her from outside the bedroom door.

"No Clark I'm fine," she said.

"Mom you wanna talk?"

She shook her head, "No Clark. I just wanna get some sleep."

Clark nodded and walked to his room. She hated doing this to Clark. He already felt responsible for Jonathan's death. And even though she told him it wasn't his fault, she just couldn't bring her self to comfort him right now cause she needed someone to comfort her.
