"Hey Wally! I'm home!" I call happily, unlocking the door to our apartment. I had returned miraculously from undercover in Black Manta's submarine. I hadn't seen Wally yet, so I was pretty excited. I march in, expecting a bear hug as a greeting, but instead all I feel is the emptiness our house now has. "Wally?"

I walk slowly over to the granite kitchen counter and notice that there is a message left on the phone. I click the button and it begins to play.

"Heyyy, Wall-man!" A female's cheery, flirty voice chirps. "It's Linda again. I was, uh, WONDERING if you maybe you wanted to come over now and hang out."

My jaw drops in horror. What the...? No, Wally wouldn't. No, no, no.

Linda continues: "Anyways, I've missed you, Wally! Come over soon! Love you!"

I drop my bags on the counter, stunned. I feel my throat constrict painfully, as I near tears. I collapse on the couch as I begin to sob heavily. "Wally wouldn't," I tell myself. "Was everything he told me... A lie? The New Year's kiss... Was that meaningless to him? Obviously, since he can go around with other women when I'm gone." I cover my face up with my palms and try to reduce the tear flow. Tears land everywhere, as I curl up in a ball and hug a pillow.

This is my worst nightmare. Wally has left me, and now I'm alone once again. I thought he was truthful, but obviously not. Forget this stupid relationship... He could have that bitch Linda for all I care.

My fingers clasp the necklace he gave me for my 18th birthday. He had sold his X-box to buy it for me, and his video games were something he could normally not live without. He spent it all on this necklace I had seen at the mall a week earlier. It had a silver chain, with a red heart pendant hanging from it. It had an arrow through it, with a small rhinestone inlaid at the tip of the arrow. Cupid's arrow.

I tug the necklace off with all my might, and with one tug the chain is broken. I throw it angrily across the room and it hits the wall with a bitter clunk.

Suddenly, I hear voices from the other side of the door. I hastily wipe the tears from my bloodshot eyes and pull Nelson by my side. I recognize the voices as they near the door.

"I love you, Linda," Wally's voice says happily through the door as he fumbles for his keys to the door.

"Love you too, Wall-man." A girlish voice belonging to Linda giggles back. "What are we going to do inside?"

"I don't know," Wally replies calmly. "Just mess around, I guess."

My eyes widen. No, no, no.

The door swings open and Wally's grin fades off his face immediately once he sees me.

"Oh, shit." Wally curses. I leap up and tackle him. He falls on the floor painfully and groans.

"You bastard!" I scream at him, tears pouring down my face. "How could you do this to me?!?! I thought I meant something to you!"

"Uh, Wally, I'll catch you later." Linda says quietly, and she walks away, leaving me pinning Wally to the carpet.

"Artemis!" Wally yells at me, taking my face in his warm hands. "Let me explain!"

"You don't need to explain, Wally! It's obvious I don't mean anything to you. You were cheating on me!" I accuse, tears still streaking down my face.

"Artemis-"

"No! Shut up, West! I dont want to hear it! Just because I'm gone doesn't mean you are allowed to frolic around with other women! You disgust me! You asshole!" I scream, shoving him against the wall.

"Arty-" Wally begins again.

"Don't you dare call me that, Wallace!"

"Artemis," Wally corrects himself calmly. "I can totally explain this."

"Prove it, Kid Idiot." I challenge.

"Linda's just my friend, I swear!"

"Yeah- a friend who flirtatiously calls you about coming over to her house and says goodbye with 'I love you'! Wally, I wasn't born yesterday! I know cheating when I see it."

Wally falls silent for a moment. "I'm sorry."

"Its a little late for that." I hiss, tears streaming down my face. "You said you loved her, Wally!" Wally grabs me in for a hug, but I squirm out of his grasp. "Don't you touch me!" I growl.

"Artemis, I love you!" Wally begs. "Stop acting crazy, please."

"Acting crazy?!" I repeat angrily. "I'm not going behind your back and seeing another person when you're gone. And Wally, I don't care what you say. Linda is a goddamn bitch, and I hate her. We're over!" I stomp away to our room, seeing his crestfallen face.

"Artemis, wait!" Wally cries, running after me. "Don't leave!"

"No, this is best." I tell him furiously, gathering all my stuff and shoving it in a large suitcase. "You get darling Linda, and I'm out of the way." I march back out to the front door as Wally grabs my hand.

"Stop, please." He begs. "I don't love Linda!"

"Really?" I sob faintly. "That's not what I heard, Wallace."

"No, please." Wally stares into my eyes.

"Wally, I'm leaving. Sorry." I growl. "I thought you'd care more about your little spitfire than to cheat on a woman who agrees with everything you do. Linda is hardly a spitfire, West. I hope you're happy I'm leaving."

"I'm not! Please stay!"

"Take this." I shove something silver into his sweaty palms and slam the door as I leave.

Wally holds the silver necklace with the heart pendant in his hands mournfully as everything goes black.

__________________________

I bolt upright and clear my thoughts. Wally hadn't cheated. It was all a dream. Thank god. The light beams onto my face, and warms me.

It feels so empty here without Wally. And yet I didn't want to return to him very much anymore after that dream. I was too scared to lose him. I turn back over in bed, cover myself with blankets, and hope to go back to sleep.
