If she knew...

Chapter 8

Oliver’s POV

“But why would Nyssa just attack Felicity like that?” I ask out loud as atmosphere becomes super tense. I walk over to where the hood was hung. I run my hand over the new material that Cisco and Barry had used to remake the shirt but kept the hood. But why was Nyssa involved with all of this, I ran every possibility through my head but none of it made sense.

“Maybe she blames you for Sara’s death.” Roy speaks up. “Since it was Thea that killed her.” He says with sadness in his eyes. He cares about my sister a lot and I was going to get to the bottom of this.

“Maybe that’s it but where does Felicity Fit in all of this?” I ask confused all I wanted was for her to be safe and now she’s in a cold hospital bed fighting for her life. “It’s all my fault!!” I say as I can’t contain my anger anymore. I walk over to my training dummy and start training on it to release all my demons. I let all demons break lose Sarah’s death, Felicity’s attack, everything that I’ve bottled up I let it all go.

“Oliver maybe she wanted to take it out on you because she loved Sara and she wanted to take Felicity away from you.” Diggle says in a tone I never heard before as if telling me I was obscure to the word around me.

“If that’s true we need to put Felicity under protective custody.” Cisco says as he looks to Diggle and Roy.

“On it!” both answered and walk out of the foundry. Later it was just Barry and I alone.

“Oliver, she’ll be okay!” he says trying to convince himself and me.

I knew he cared I look him in the eye and told him what I whispered to myself at Queen consolidated.

“Take care of her Barry if you hurt her I will find a way to kill you.” I say in a deep voice that sounded more like the Arrow.

“I would never hurt her and I think you need to know, but she loves you she always has. She wants to be with you, you Oliver she loves you.” He says as my heart remains in my throat. She loved me?

“Why did she never say anything?” I ask confused as if Barry had all the answers.

“Because you made a decision, back when I became the flash, that night you let her go.” He says as I remember every detail.

“I thought I could be me and the Arrow…but, I can’t not now, maybe not ever.” I said trying to explain my action to her.

“Then say never, stop… dangling maybes, say it’s never going to work out between us, say you never loved me say…” she started before I cut her off.

“Felicity…” then I cupped her face with both of my hands and kissed her soft lips.

“Don’t ask me to say that I don’t love you.” I had said and I had let her go.

“I am an idiot.” I said.

“Only because you let her go but it’s not too late Oliver.” He says.

“It is Barry, I am too late!” I say as he slowly walks up the stairs.

“Everyone deserves a second chance Oliver, this may be yours.” He says as he goes into the vacant club above the foundry.

I walk over to my training dummy and start training on it to release all my demons. I let all demons break lose Sarah’s death, Felicity’s attack, everything that I’ve bottled up I let it all go. I don’t know how long I’ve been training on the dummy for but when I looked at the time I heard music, which meant that Verdant must’ve opened. The clock read 12 o’clock. It had been almost 24 hours since Felicity’s attack. And my heart was breaking more and more with every second that went by my heart was getting more and more torn away. I grab my coat and head to the hospital to see her again, I couldn't believe that she loved me and never told me, but i needed to see her tell her to hold on, if she didn't make it i was going to blame myself because i should've been the one on that bed not her, it should've been me.
