Chapter 2

Felicity's POV...

When my mom leaves I feel an overwhelming sense of fear. How will Oliver feel about me coming back? Does he have a girlfriend? Will he notice how much I've changed and hate it? Nervously I tap my fingers, hoping to take my mind off of the man I love.

I am startled out off my thoughts when a knock sounds on the door. The breath is knocked out of me when I see the man I had been thinking about walk in. I can see the nervousness in his eyes when they meet mine. "Hi," I barley here him say. "Hey," I say, and just like that I'm up and hugging him before I know what I'm doing.

Crashing into his body I can't help the tears that flow down my cheek when I'm finally back in his arms. I feel him pick me up, and automatically throw my legs around his waist as he walks to the hospital bed. Sitting down with me still in his arms, he rocks me, whispering soothing words in my ear as he rubs his hand up and down my back.

Oliver's POV.....

Finally having my arms around her, I never want to let her go again. When I walked into that hospital room I knew that she wasn't going to be the same, but it was a shock to see the woman I love, nervousness and self-consciousness in her eyes, with scars on her beautiful body. I couldn't help the surge of anger that passed through me at the thought of anyone hurting her.

Pain sliced through my heart when I heard the sniffle that was taking over her body. I couldn't help the tear that slid down my face when I saw how much my beautiful girl had been hurt.

Putting my hand under her chin, I softly pushed her chin up until her beautiful blue eyes met his. Her eyes held mine like she was looking into my soul.

Jumping at the knock on the door, I felt her stiffen as she saw the doctor. Hearing her ask, "when can I leave," I looked at the doctor and saw the pity in his eyes and couldn't help but wonder how much he didn't know about the woman on his lap.

"Right away ma'am," the doctor said, and then turned to leave the room after giving her the release papers.

Felicity's POV.....

"Where are you going to stay," Oliver asked, as we were walking out of the hospital. After being there for a day I never wanted to go back.

"I don't know," I heard myself answer. Pulling me to his car I saw him pull out his phone and text someone before putting it in your pocket. He looked at me with those eyes and asked, " Would you wanna, maybe come home with me. My mom and sister can't wait to see you. We've never been the same since....." he drawls out the word, not knowing what to say. So I interjected by saying, "Since I died. Oliver you can say it, I can handle it. And I'd love to see your mom and sister I missed them." Still looking unsure he started the car and began the journey to the mansion.

By the time we pull up to the mansion I had started to nod off, exhaustion taking over. When the car stopped I sat up, alert, looking over to Oliver I saw the corner of his mouth tilt into a half grin and can't help the small smile that graces my features.

Stepping out the car, I feel an overwhelming sense of fear and my hands start to shake.

Oliver must see that as he grabs my hand, pulling me to the door.

Just as the we go to open the door I hear an all to familiar voice shout, "Ollie." And I know that this is going to be an awkward conversation.

Turning around I see her glaring at me, the intensity of the glare causing a shiver to go down my spine. Tightening his hand on mine I hear Oliver say, "Laurel what are you doing here, we broke up last week."

Laurel puts a fake smile on her face and says, "Ollie baby, I know you didn't mean it. We're perfect together baby." Rolling my eyes I see Oliver narrow his eyes, obviously seeing her bullshit and says, "get out of here Laurel your not welcome." Turning around he opens the door and pulls me in, slamming the door in her face. Sadly I know that will not be the last time I see her.

Sighing in relieve I look around, feeling eyes on me, I turn my head to see my family (Thea and Moira) staring at me. Tears burning my eyes I blurt out, " the banister needs to be dusted." Mortified when I hear a chuckle from Oliver, I feel the nervousness start to build, but before I can apologize, Thea runs up, throwing her arms around me, Moira close behind, and I can't help but finally feel safe for the first time in 5 years.
