Reader's P.O.V. – Flashback/Remembrance

I remember a time when I wasn't filled with hate and envy. I used to be able to brush the nastiest of comments off like it was dust. I used to be able to do that because of my best friend Hal. He wasn't just my best friend he was the one my heart desired and I knew he would never look at me the way I look at him. I pretended I was okay with what I had and never pursued what I wanted. I regret it to this day.

I was walking through the hallways of my high school, (H/s/n), when I heard the whispered and chuckling. I thought it was just something between friend groups but when I started to look around, I saw them all facing me. My anxiety and nerves were getting to me and once I found Hal it will be okay because he is the logical optimistic one in this friend dynamic since we were infants. I found Hal in the middle of the group chatting up girls left and right, this didn't bother me since he does this all the time now. What really got me was the things coming out of his mouth about me. Nothing he said was true in my opinion. I got closer slowly to ultimately get my heart broken when he said the most outrageous statement.

"Yeah, and then she cried to me as if I was going to help her. She is nothing more than a slut and gold digger. I can't believe she thinks I'm her friend." Hal said as other students agreed. If he said this what else has he spread throughout the school. I tried to get to him to see if I have done something wrong, but he ignored me. I sent text messages and called to get ahold of him, but he was not responding. A single tear slid my (s/c) cheek as I realized this friendship was destroyed and there was nothing for me to do too fix it. The next day I isolated myself more and became paranoid with every little thing. It got so bad that I would have fits of anger towards myself throughout the day and when I got home to the place that was supposed to be my safe heaven it got worse. I locked myself in my room and didn't answer my parent's calls of worry or acknowledgment. I fell asleep like that until screaming woke me up from my own nightmares. I rushed to where the screaming was coming from which was my parent's room. Before I could even open the door, the screams were silenced by two bangs of a gun. I froze for what felt like hours but in reality, was seconds. I opened the door to the most horrifying scene in my life. My parents were dead. Shot in the head and cut into ribbons. If I didn't know what my parent's wedding rings looked like, then I wouldn't have recognized them. Two men in full black clothing turned to me and overwhelming feelings of fear and desperation. At that moment I released something or rather someone to help me and grow stronger. A yellow glow was produced in front of me and a strong masculine voice echoed throughout the room saying, "In blackest day, in brightest night, beware your fears made into light. Let those who try to stop what's right burn like my power Sinestro's might!" It happened so fast. One second the two masked men were alive and the next they were dead just like my parents. After the death of my parents, I had nowhere to go and no one to take me in. I left with Sinestro after he got me a Yellow Lantern ring and he raised me as his own.

Time Skip – 15 years later...

I have grown and matured in the life that I am now invested in. Sinestro invested time and energy into me. I became the second in command in the Yellow Lantern Corp. Even though I am more powerful than Sinestro I never wanted to be in complete charge. I development PTSD, depression, and paranoia which leads to the fits of insanity. No one interrupts me when I am in my fits and I isolate myself afterward.

After a fit of insanity, I left for the earth. I walked around in my uniform that consist of a fitted white blazer and pants suit with black pinstripes. My four-inch black heels clicked the ground as I walked the park. I flipped my hair out of my face with my black glove covered hands that end at the middle of the back of my hands to only reveal a small piece of (s/c) skin. I walked around with a yellow mask and a yellow button up shirt underneath with a simple black tie to complete the look. My powerful strides made people stop and look at me as I passed but it doesn't bother me since I know that I can stomp anyone down with a flick of my wrist. It was a peaceful walk until Sinestro interrupted me.

"(Y/n) I need you to distract most of the Green Lantern Corp while some of us can cause some destruction and chaos to recruit more yellow lanterns," Sinestro said while giving me orders.

"So, the normal thing. Where is this happening?" I asked while finishing my walk and about to start towards the location.

"Earth and now."

"Perfect! I'm already here." I said as I energized myself. I honed into the fear and desperation of the people living in the area and released a blast of paralyzing fear and paranoid delusions across the city to get enough distractions that I can help and rebuild my strength to fight the Green Lantern that protects Earth. He finally showed up. "Well, that took a while. Did you have to stop and fix your underwear from bunching?" I asked sarcastically while looking at my nails with a lack of interest in him.

"No, not really. I had to stop and mourn the loss of a close friend and potential lover." I said in a serious tone. She froze and looked at me. The silence of the conversation was unpleasant, and I knew that we both caused it. "So, are we going to fight or not?"

"I thought you would never come back into my life! You left me when I needed you the most. I never forgave myself for what I could have possibly done to deserve this. I was finally coming to terms with what I have become!" She said as she brought her hands up to her head and hid behind her hair. I only knew of one person in my life that has done that and that was (Y/n).

"(Y/n)? Is that you? I thought you died with your parents. The police couldn't find your body and I was devastated when I heard the news. Where did you go?" I asked as I approached her with a calm aura. I could feel the pain and frustration rolling off of her in intense waves. I had to save her and the people around her from being consumed in fear and delusions.

"Did you actually just believe them and never looked for me? I called and knocked on your door and you never answered. I was left alone in the universe with no one to care for except Sinestro." She said. I formed a bubble to try and catch her, but she moved out of the way to quickly. She was always super fast and agile in her movements.

"I looked for years to find you. How was I supposed to know that you were in space?" I yelled at her and it made her falter in our fight and I caught her in a trap. She was getting desperate to get away and she finally did when she released a blow of energy. She left quickly to only find her weeping over Sinestro's corpse. "I'm sorry about this happening again," I whispered and I gently placed a hand on her shoulder. She shrugged me off as she cried.

"I was too late again. I keep hesitating. I have to go. Hal, I just can't." She said as her mask disappeared to reveal sorrowful (e/c) eyes and tear-stained (s/c) cheeks. She turned and fled before I could comfort her. She has no one and I want to be that someone that lets her know that she has a home. After she fled, I buried Sinestro's body in a cemetery and left to only see a flash of white and black in the corner of my eye. I continued on because I thought it was my imagination. After two more encounters, I figures (Y/n) was still in town but hiding out in plain sight and blending into everything, making herself seem like a delusion. I knew better because I was searching her out. I walked into the parking thinking she would be there because nature is (Y/n) favorite spot to be to calm down. I was looking up into the tree branches thinking she was up in the trees, but someone pushed me, and I tripped onto someone else. We tumbled down the convincedly placed hill to the bottom. I was on top of the person and realized it was (Y/n). Her eyes were still closed so I took as much courage as I could and kissed her on the lips. She kissed back with passion and yearning of love. I reciprocated the feelings. We eventually got married and settled down in a quiet life. We protected our rings until the day comes where we leave each other and hopefully that isn't soon.
