Something Gained

Chapter 3

Oliver pulled his hand back and furrowed his brow, "how do you know my name?"

"I don't think you will find anyone here who doesn't know your name, Mr. Queen," he said. He had a gruff voice.

"Oh, right."

There was a moment of silence.

"Well I'm sorry for running into you like that." Oliver fumbled with his cup, "it was nice meeting you, Mr. Wilson."

He smiled, "likewise."

"Your mother says we should throw Tommy a party, " Laurel said from where she was sitting near the window in Oliver's room.

"I don't think he needs a party."

"What do you think he needs?"

"A therapist," Oliver shrugged.

"Ollie!" Laurel exclaimed. "You're probably right, but don't say that to to him."

Oliver rocked back and forth on his bed. The last few days had been overwhelming. He'd gotten his best friend back, but not really.

"I have to go back to work," she said. "I'll see you later."

Oliver spent the rest of the day pacing around his room, just thinking and thinking some more.

Finally he picked up his phone and texted Laurel and Tommy to meet him at his club Verdant. He was sick of the constant overthinking. He was going to spend time with his friends and he was going to celebrate Tommy's rescue.

A/N: I'm sorry this is short. Also not very good. And that it took so long. I had exams and a bit of a writer's block that I tried to push through with this chapter. I'll try to update sooner this time
Peace out
