Felicity heard the familiar ding of the elevator at Queen Consolidate.. Wait Palmer Industries was its new name but she couldn't think of Oliver's business like that even if it wasn't his anymore.
She walked to her office as people glared at her from behind. They didn't understand why both Oliver and Ray treated her so well and gave her promotions. They all thought she was sleeping with them. Felicity knew better than to acknowledge their stares and whispered comments. She ignored it all.
As she settled into her office Ray Palmer peeked in.
"It's so good to see you, I left a couple of papers on your desk that I need you to go through" he said as he smiled at her.
Felicity forced a weak smile and replied "of course, I will get right on that". She started to shuffle the papers around organizing her desk a bit as she heard the door close and she almost, almost fell apart. As she collected the stacks of papers she accidentally knocked a pen down.
She bent down to pick up the pen and stopped dead in her tracks when she noticed something. It was red. She took a second to take it in before she sighed and picked it up again. She knew it would only make her cry if she looked at it longer so she put away all her red pens in a desk drawer.
After a few hours of work and phone calls from Roy, Barry and Diggle, Felicity decided to call it a day. She was not only tired but she hated being in Oliver's old office.
She spent two weeks like this. Going to work and going home not talking to anyone except Ray, Roy, Diggle and Barry, but she barely answered when they called. She just wanted to be left alone.
Everyday after work she did the same thing; she knew she had to stop but she just couldn't bring herself to. Every night she went to Verdant and would sit at her desk staring at the fern she had given Oliver a few weeks back. It felt like yesterday. But it wasn't.
*** Two weeks later ***
Felicity was in the Arrow Cave sitting in front of the glass case with Oliver's Arrow suit. She had his hoodie on and she was staring at the fern she had given him. The tears streamed down her face as she wrapped her arms around her legs shaking with each sob. Oliver had been gone for 2 months and 2 weeks now but she couldn't bring herself to move on and let him go.
Everyone she loved left her tragically and she couldn't take it anymore. As she sat there and wept quietly a hand grabbed her from behind and wrapped her in a hug.. It was Oliver.

"Lonely eyes
Well, it sure looks like
You just might
Be looking for something
For something, whoa
Look at me
And I think You'll see

Don't have to be alone tonight" - Lonely Eyes - Chris Young
