The love of his life (Lauriver)

Fresh Start

"Look Laurel, I think you should really think this through" said Thea, "and what is there to think about?" Asked Laurel, "about the circumstances" Thea replied and sat in the chair, she motioned Laurel to sit in the other chair. "Oliver, is hurting, he went through losing Felicity, and they just broke up" started talking Thea, "plus, after what happened with Darhk his mind hasn't been clear" added Diggle, "Look, Laurel, I love you, I really do, but I don't want to see you get heart broken again, the only person who could save you after your heart got broken was Tommy, but now he isn't here, it's your own risk" said Thea.

Oliver was sitting down in a bar with a glass of whiskey in hand, he kept thinking about what just happened with Laurel. Then a guy appeared in front of him. "Rough day?" He asked, Oliver looked at him and nodded "yeah" , "may I seat?" Asked the man, Oliver motioned for him to sit. "So why alone drinking?" Questioned the man, "its a girl" responded Oliver looking down, "ooh, love, hard thing!" Exclaimed the guy, Oliver frowned, "you know, I once had a girlfriend that I was actually really in love with, she left me" he added, "and why do I want to know that?" Asked Oliver, "no reason, so tell me is this girl a friend of yours?" Asked the guy, Oliver nodded. "Does she know you well?" "Better than anyone" responded Oliver, "yeah you're screwed" commented the guy and took a sip of whiskey  from Oliver's. "Excuse me?" Asked Oliver, "look, if this girl knows you better than anyone, then she knows your flaws, she knows what kind of man you are and what things you are capable of doing, after knowing all that, she won't want you" explained the random man, "like the only way for you two to be a thing is if you somehow developed amnesia and met for the first time again" Oliver's eyes widened up, "a fresh start" he whispered to himself, "I'm sorry what?" Asked the guy, "umm, nothing" responded Oliver, "that's the reason why love at first sight always works out" The man kept drinking Oliver's drink ,trust me, I know about love my friend" he added, "right! I'm sorry who the hell are you?" Asked Oliver, "oh I'm sorry I didn't introduced myself, I'm Adrian Chase"

4 days later

Laurel walked inside the prison to meet with her father. "Baby hey" said Quentin, Laurel hugged him. "Hey dad" she replied, "how have you been?" Asked Quentin seating down in the bench, "actually I have been a lot better" she responded, "that's great" he commented, Laurel bit her lip, Quentin frowned "what wrong?" He questioned, "look, ever since I got hurt by Darhk, Oliver had been behaving completely different, and we have been bonding lately, and then one thing led to another and he ended up kissing me" she spoke, Quentin raised his eyebrows, "look, I know this is crazy but, is it too wrong to love your ex?" She added, "well, honey, Oliver has been different ever since he got back but he hasn't truly changed, I hate to be the one reminding you that, he cheated on you with your sister, he cheated on you and knocked up a girl, he kept secrets to the woman he loves" Quentin reminded Laurel, Laurel took a deep breath, "there is nothing more on this earth that can make me more happy than seeing you happy, so I am telling you, for your own good, don't be in that kind of relationship with Queen" Quentin finished saying, Laurel nodded. 

Oliver entered the bunker to meet the team except Laurel and including Felicity. Oliver frowned. "Hey what are you?" Asked Oliver, "you guys need my help to find Darhk, I find out about Laurel, is she okay?" Questioned Felicity, Oliver blushed at the mention of Laurel, "Yeah, she's fine" he replied, "good, we know where Darhk is going to be next" said Felicity, "Star City plaza, there is a ball there apparently" added Felicity, "Darhk will be there?" Questioned Thea, Felicity nodded, "well, it is a charity case raised from Ruvé Darhk" added Diggle, "so why will he be there?" Asked Thea, "I don't really know" replied Felicity, "oh and also, Ruve has remade the anti-vigilante task force, we won't be allowed inside there" commented John, "so we go there as civilian people going to a ball and we take our gear in a bag" suggested Oliver, everyone nodded. "Yep, that is what we are doing" exclaimed Felicity. Everyone went their own way and Oliver pulled Thea, "hey, how is Laurel?" He asked, "she is a lot better now, why are you avoiding her?" Asked Thea, Oliver shook his head, "Im not avoiding her" Thea looked at him and raised her eyebrows, "alright I am avoiding her, but that's because that kiss we had, it totally ruined our relationship" admitted Oliver, Thea shook her head and laughed. "You know this is just like high school" she commented, Oliver tilted his head and frowned, "yeah you know, like and like, bad move,  he thinks she dislikes now,she is confuse about her feelings for him" Thea explained, "are you saying Laurel didn't think I totally messed up with that kiss?" Asked Oliver. Thea shrugged. "I'm sorry I can't say" she exclaimed and kissed him in the cheek.
