Roy entered the packed recreational room as he saw a crowd looking at something. He pushed through the crowd and saw the girl he talked to almost everyday since he got here on the floor getting attended by nurses. Her nose bled and she had bruising on her shoulder. "What happened?" He asked the crowd. Most were patients so gave no response.

One girl stepped forward and replied "One of the family members of the people who died came to see her, Blamed her for the murders" She informed him.

He frowned and turned to seeing the unconscious friend on the floor. It was someone he hadn't suspected of the murders. He realized he had to look into it. He had two days until Oliver would come for him. He sighed and left the crowd and went into the corridor avoiding staff when he could and stopped at the girls room. He opened it since it was unlocked and entered the room.

The room looked like everyone else's. White walls, White floor, white bed, a sink, a toilet and a mirror. Except the mirror in this room had cracks in the middle as if it had been punched. He approached it and noticed dried blood in the sink. Some was fresh but there was bits of blood everywhere. 

Dried in around the tap, on the tap, on the floor and on the walls. Roy gulped. The one person who thought of as a friend had severe amount of evidence to show she could of killed people.

"Roy?" 

He turned and saw the girl standing there. Her nose wasn't bleeding anymore but her top was drenched in the red liquid.

"Oh hey, Mystery girl.." He said realizing he didn't know what excuse he could make up to be in her room.

"You think I did it too don't you?" She asked. Her face visibly showed turmoil.

"..No.. It's just... I don't know" He said sighing.

She walked over to her bed and sat on it beginning to cry. "It's true.. I did kill them" She confessed. 

Roy opened his mouth at such a confession. He suspected it might be her but even so he wasn't expecting a confession. "Seriously?" He asked.

"It's not my fault, Ever since that damn particle accelerator explosion I haven't been right, There's another person taking over my body" She explained frustrated and upset. Roy didn't say anything. She stood up and took a few steps towards him.

"Please believe me, Roy" She asked and he stepped back and that was like a stab in the heart for her. 

"You don't... leave" She asked.

Roy felt bad. He wasn't sure if he believed her or not. He wasn't even sure if she had lied about killing. "Hey, Girl I'm sorry" He said.

"JUST LEAVE!" She screamed. Roy knew he had to leave to leave at least a bit of their relationship to salvage. He walked out closing the door behind him.

The girl inside wiped her teary eyes and looked into the mirror seeing the smirking face of Milla. Her other personality. "Leave me alone Milla!" She growled sitting on her bed.

"You're an idiot! You thought you could handle a friendship?" The reflection mocked. Serah looked up and stormed over to the reflection.

"I can.. I won't let you manipulate me Milla! He will believe me, I know it!" She retorted.

"Why? He's known you three days? He has no reason to believe a psycho like you!" Milla screamed back. 

Serah looked down knowing she was right. "After tonight.. We will know who is right"

Ruby blinked again as she looked at Felicity. Her memories raged with horrible scenes of blood and death. She couldn't stop staring which unsettled Felicity a little.

"What are you doing here?" Oliver asked bewildered. Felicity eyes wandered to the body of Wally on the table.

"Why are they here?" She asked.

Oliver ignored the question and stared at Felicity. It had been months since he last saw her. "Why are you here?" He repeated.

"I can explain that later but right now you need to tell me what's going on" She said walking over and noticed Wally's bullet wound.

She still felt the two people's eyes on her and felt unsettled. Oliver finally looked away at Wally "He was shot... When Ruby came bursting through here" He said and looked at Ruby still confused to why she was here.

"Why are you here?" Oliver asked her. Felicity also looked at Ruby.

Ruby looked away and stood up grabbing her blue hood she had taken off earlier. "Don't walk away Ruby you need to explain!" Oliver shouted.

Ruby turned to him her eyes visibly showing her emotion "NOT WHILE SHE IS HERE!" She shouted her voice sharp and painful as she looked at Felicity. She put her hood on and went upstairs into the empty nightclub. She stopped in the middle of the nightclub area and burst into tears.

Memories flooded to her of her mother's murder. Something she could never get over. "Why? Why? WHY!?" She shouted and hit a nearby wall in anger making a cracking sound.

"Are you okay?" A woman said and Ruby looked and saw a woman she didn't recgonise.

"No, I'm not" She replied looking at the floor.

"Are you supposed to be here?" She asked.

"I work here" She lied.

"Okay... Do you want some ice?" She offered.

"Sure" Ruby said put her hood down and walked with the woman upstairs and got ice put on her hand.

The light brown haired woman sighed "What was that about?" She asked concerned.

Ruby bit her lip and thought up something to say "Just some memories about my mother... She died" She explained.

"Oh... I'm sorry, Was it recent?" She asked.

Ruby shook her head "Years ago now... just hard to move on"

The girl nodded "I know what you mean, My sister died a while ago.. Still feels like it was just yesterday I was shouting at her for sleeping with my boyfriend" She said with a sad laugh.

Ruby smiled a little "I'm Ruby Q- Winters" She began and quickly covered up her second name.

"Ruby Q Winters? Unique.. I'm Laurel Lance" She said.

Ruby then realized who she was and her smile got bigger "I know who you are.."

Laurel frowned "You do?" She said confused.

Ruby realized her mistake "Oh uh... I'm a friend of Oliver's he mentioned you.." She said and smiled.

"That's weird he never mentioned you?" Laurel said. Ruby stood up.

"Oh look at that gotta go" She said and rushed out before Laurel could stop her.

While that was happening Oliver stood with Felicity "Why are you here Felicity?" Oliver asked coldly.

Felicity winced slightly at his coldness "Well.. even though we left things on a horrible note I wanted to come and tell you some news" She said.

Oliver didn't want to know he knew how much every word they spoke to each other brought up the painful memory of her future murder. "I don't care Felicity, Just go" He said harshly the words hurting him as much as they hurt her.

"Fine, If you're going to be an ass, I'll go but.." She replied with slight sass and took a white card out her bag which had gold border around it. "I wanted to invite you to my wedding!" She hissed slamming the card on the table and walked of.

Oliver stumbled back his heart shattered in his chest and felt pain like no other. He wanted her to be safe and move on. He just didn't think it would hurt this much.
