Mario and brookie dough ice cream

Time passed, I went to college, I was going to college in Central City, I was staying with Dinah while I attended, Quentin and Sara still lived in Star City, but Sara made me promise something before I left, she made me promise to call her at least once a week, I would, I would call to talk to Quentin when I knew Sara would be at work, whenever I had the chance, but when I called and Sara was home, Quentin wouldn't even bother answering, he knew who I wanted to talk to, and he encouraged it as much as he could.

I knew how I felt about Sara, I didn't know how she felt so I kept it to myself, Quentin and Dinah even knew how I felt about her, they would give me advice, trying to get me to talk to her about it, sure, we talked a lot, but never about feelings, I mean aside from the time when someone named Oliver cheated on her, I refused to talk to her over the phone about that, it was early on a Monday, three AM if I'm not mistaken, I drove back to Star City, skipped my classes that day and a few hours later I arrived just as Quentin was walking out of the door.

I had a bucket of her favorite ice cream in hand, a bag that had chocolate bars and a box of tissues in it, Quentin looked down at what I had in hand and said, "I knew you'd come, I called her off school sick, make sure she's okay, I'll be back in a few hours." He rushed off after talking to me and then I walked inside.

When I walked inside I seen Sara on the floor in front of the now opened liquor cabinet, she had picked the lock, no doubt something Mick had tought her, "Sara!" I yelled as she tipped up a bottle of scotch, she didn't hear me come in apparently, but she just sat it down and looked up at me, "Len." She just sat there after adressing me and looked back down at the bottle sitting on the floor just staring.

I sat down what I had in my hands and grabbed a blanket, putting it around her shoulders and quietly taking the bottle from her and placing it back into the cabinet, "Lets get you to bed so we can eat some ice cream and chocolate." I smiled as I patted her on the shoulder, she stil had a blank expression as we walked back up to her room.

When we got there I seen her old Mario game sitting on the stand beside her tv, I had an idea, "Mario and Brookie dough ice cream?" She smirked a little without looking up, "I'll let you be Princess Peach since you look like her." This time a smile broke out on her face, "There's that beautiful smile I know and love!" I said as I opened the bucket of ice cream and sat on the edge of her bed.

Soon the redness in her eyes faded and she was smiling again, it only took half a bucket of ice cream, three of her favorite candy bars and two hours of playing Mario, she didn't even cry after I got there, "Guess we didn't need the tissues." I laughed as we walked down stairs to put away the remaining ice cream, "Not with you around." She smiled at me as she handed me the remaining candy bars she was carrying.
