BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ BUZZ
I grab phone from the other side of my bed. I see that Oliver has texted me to see if I am okay. I text him back and tell him I'm fine and ask him how Helena Bertinelli case went. I wait for response and wait. I hear a crash in my living room. I sit up and quickly text Ollie HELP. My door opens.
"So you're Oliver's new girlfriend. That's sweet. I need you to do something for me and Oliver will never know because if you tell him your life over." She ends with a smile.
"What do you want? I am not that smart and plus he trained you you know where he is." I say becoming more cocky.
"Ahh you see I want you to figure out where my dad is."
"How am I supposed to help you with that I can't hack things."
"Call felicity." She says. I reach for my phone and I see that Oliver hasn't opened her text and I call felicity. I ask her questions about the Helena Bertinelli case. She tells me helpful and not helpful information. I say thank you and goodbye to her and hang up.
"Your father is at the courthouse. He will be there all day today."
"See that wasn't so hard. Oh and you remember our secret." She says as she leaves. I grab my phone and see that Oliver texted back. I text that there was a noise and I thought it was someone but a picture fell off the wall. I hope Oliver doesn't get suspicious.
It is currently 11:37 am and I decided to go to the Arrow cave. I got ready and packed a quick lunch and headed out. I don't think anyone is there. I think they are all at Queen Consolidated.
I get there and go to put the code in the keypad. Oliver gave me the code and he wouldn't let me write it down because I might lose it. I completely forgot the code. I pull my phone out of my pocket and call Oliver.
"Hey. I need the code for the Arrow cave."
"What are you doing there?" He asks.
"I wanted to be here." I say.
"Everything okay at home?" He says.
"Yeah things are good. I just wanted to be in the Arrow cave." Hoping he doesn't make me spill what happened.
"143631. I will be there at 7. Kay?"
"Kay. Thanks babe." I say as I start to enter the code into the keypad. I hold the handrail as I go down the stairs. I put everything on the table next to Felicity's computer stuff. Why did I come here? This place is actually really boring. I mean all of this stuff is cool and kind of overwhelming but it doesn't do anything. It's all Oliver and his team that makes it what it is.
I start to look at all the arrowheads and trick bows. I start looking at everything in the basement. I look at all the drawers in the tool chest. I found everything in there. Guns, bandages, arrowheads, arrows, and ammo. I wanna know how he is getting all these things without the suspicion. I go back to the computers and start watching Netflix. I find some supernatural and watch that. I grabbed out my lunch and started eating.
A couple hours later I hear the door open and pause Supernatural.
"Hey." I say to Felicity.
"Are you watching Netflix on my hacking computers?" Felicity asks.
"Yeah." I say as I take a chip from my lunch.
"Have you been here all day?" She asks as she takes a seat on the table.
"Since noonish."
"Can I." Felicity asks as she points to my bag of chips. I turn the bag opening to her. She puts her hand in the bag.
"Why are you here but Dig and Oliver aren't?"
"Well they are checking out a location where Helena Bertinelli might be." Felicity says while typing something."
"I know where she is." I say putting my head down.
"WHAT!!" Felicity says looking at me.
"What I said nothing of importance." I say looking everywhere except at Felicity.
"Lexi." Felicity says kinda scaring me.
"Well.. uh... umm.... this morning I heard a noise and then my door opened and it was her. She made me call you and she said if I told Oliver she would kill me and I'm scared that she actually is." I say fast.
"Lex Oliver wouldn't let her." She says as she grabs her phone.
"It's oliver. They found her and she disappeared." Felicity says as she looks up at me.
"Fel."
"Yeah Lex." She says.
"You can't tell Oliver about Helena Bertinelli." I say hoping it's not gonna be hard to convince her.
"Okay but after we get her and moved on to the next case you have to tell him." Felicity says.
"Will do. What are you doing exactly?" I ask curiously.
"I am tracking the boys and watching the cameras." She says.
"Why is Oliver not wearing his Green suit?" I ask.
"Because it's not night and Oliver is being the CEO right now."
"Ahh. Is he gonna wear it later. Kinda think he's hot in it. Or he could do the salmon ladder." I say.
"You guys are still my Otp." Felicity says with a giant grin.
"That's what I thought." I say.
Oliver and Dig come back. Oliver looks pissed and Dig never really shows any mood.
"That didn't go well." I say as I look at Oliver. He leaned over and gave me a quick peck.
"How did you guys not get her?" Felicity asks.
"She killed two cops and injured four more. She got her father and left. I followed her. She disappeared and it's my fault." Oliver says.
"Babe there is nothing you could of done." I pause for a couple seconds. "If anyone could of done something it would be me." I finish and look at Felicity.
"What." Oliver says looking at me.
"Well she came over this morning, threatened me, made me help her and I did and I didn't tell you because she threatened me. Wait already said that." I finish.
"She threatened you?" Oliver asked more pissed off than before.
"She said that if I told you that she came to me she would kill me. She scared me and I didn't tell you because I thought you would get her. But I guess you didn't. I didn't mean to keep it from you." I say and Oliver turns and starts walking up the stairs. I stand up as fast as I can.
"Oliver wait." I yell and start to limp up the stairs. I get to the top of the stairs and see Oliver sitting at the bar.
"Babe." I say.
"Why didn't you tell me Lexi?" Oliver asks.
"She threatened me Oliver." I say.
"I wouldn't of let her hurt you. You lied to me about the picture falling off the wall didn't you." He finished.
"I know when was I supposed to tell you. She came and then when she left I never felt so scared in my life but that moment. I couldn't breathe. Then I came here and I was gonna tell you when you came. But you didn't come until like 5 seconds ago. Oliver there is nothing keeping me here but you. I came here and everything happened. You, the Jared thing, and this. Oliver this city is trouble. Please tell me my one reason to stay here still wants me here. I love you." I say.
"I" Oliver says not finishing his sentence. I back up and go downstairs and grab my stuff. I see Dig and Felicity watching me. I smile at them and head back upstairs. I pass Oliver and go to my car. I grab my phone and text Oliver. I need time to find myself. Hope that when I come back you can get over the "lie". I love you Oliver. I thought you felt the same. Bye. I finished typing and read it a hundred times. Then I sent it. I see Oliver come out of Verdant in my rearview mirror. He grabs his phone out of his pocket. Reads it and then texts me back. Come back now. I do a uturn and park and get out.
"Lexi." He says serious.
"Oliver" I say just as serious. We look at each other for a few seconds. Oliver gets closer and looks down at me.
"I don't know what I'm doing. I let Helena go. I.. I almost let you go. I am not letting that happen again." Oliver says holding my face and giving me a kiss at the end.
