Chapter 12

This chapter is dedicated to: matocro

POV: Oliver

My phone rings just at the waiter brings me and Laurel out main courses. Laurel groans as I look down at my phone under the table, Felicity's name appears on the screen and a picture of her were she her blonde hair flows over shoulders, she was talking when I took the picture so her mouth is partially open and she is trying to block the camera with her hand, its adorable.

"I need to take this....it's work" I say

"Fine, but be quick your food is going to get cold" she says, I nod and walk to the front of the restaurant.

Whatever Felicity needs to talk about must be pretty important because she would never interrupt me during a date unless there was an emergency. Maybe it has to do with Macy she was going to take her home and I was going to go check in her tomorrow and talk to her.

"Fel-ic-ity" I say as I answer the phone.

"Oh, thank goodness, you answered" a young female voice said

"Um, I'm sorry who is this" I say

"This is Macy Jones, we kinda reunited earlier today, ish" she says

"Hi, why are you calling? Is everything ok?"

"No not exactly, Felicity took me home and we ate dinner and talked and it was really nice, we got to know each other better she is AMAZING. But then she had to go so she left but I realized she forgot her phone so I took it out to her but, once I just out it was just in time to see the truck. I tried to help, I really did but I was pulled away, I'm really sorry I really am" she says quickly into the phone, wow she is just like Felicity.

"Wait, so what happened?" I ask

"I'm sorry it's Felicity, her car was hit by a truck and she was badly injured. I don't know her condition yet because I just got done being fixed up."

She continued talking but I don't listen because I'll I can think of is that Felicity is hurt. I don't know how bad but, but I need to get there and see her.

"Ok, I'll be there as soon as possible, are you okay?" I ask

"I'm fine...i guess I'm just worried about Felicity"

"Ok see you soon" I say running back to my table were Laurel sits.

"Look there has been an accident, I need to go to the hospital" I say trying to stay calm.

"Oh ok, what happened?" She asks

"Not completely sure, Felicity my assistant and Friend was I guess hit, look I'm really sorry here's some money for a taxi ride home and this should be enough to to cover the bill" I say throwing some Money at her and turning to walk out the restaurant.

"Wait, Ollie, I'm coming with you" she says

"No Laurel just go home I'll call you once I figure out what's going on, I just really need to go" I say, running out of the restaurant and getting into my car.

++++++++++++++++++++++++++

Once I get into the hospital I run to the intensive care unit waiting room. I see small groups of people through out the room waiting for there loved ones and friends to recover. In the right side of the room I see Macy curled up on a coach with her head against Maria, her older sister.

Maria was a good friend of mine and we dated for a while. I've only seen her a handful of times since I have gotten back from the island, and out of those times we have not talked when it's just the two of us. She was a party girl and got into just about as much trouble as me, if not more, but clearly she has changed just as I have.

I quickly walk over to the pair and sit down across from them. Macy slowly lifts her head and sit up revealing white bandages on her hands almost to her forearm.

"Hey, any news?" I ask.

Macy just shakes her head no

"I'm going to get coffee, you guys want some?" Maria says

"Yes" Macy and I say at the same time. Maria nods and walks out of the room.

"This is all my fault" Macy says

"What makes you say that?" I ask, while moving to sit next to her.

"I was the guy who was driving the truck, I tried to stop him but I could not. He wore a black mask just like the men who attacked me last night and who have followed me at different times in my life. They went after Felicity because she helped me and talked to me. I'm not completely anti-social just because I want to, if I do get close to someone this is what will happen, they will go after them too." she says.

"It's ok, I'll find out who they are and I'll stop them for your and Felicity's sake" I say

"Thanks, Oliver. Your a Hero" she says

The three words she just said echo through my head 'your a hero' could this 16 year old girl thinks I'm a hero. I have killed so many and caused pain to others and I'm sure she knows that, but, here she is telling me I'm a hero. She decides to see the best in people....Just like Felicity.
