Disclaimer: I Don't Own Smallville
Oliver could not believe his eyes. He stood there looking at her, looking at them. Chloe the woman he loved and Clark Kent his best friend. They were looking at each other smiling Clark wearing a tux and Chloe wearing her Madonna stylish wedding dress and they were on opposite sides of the isle in front of the priest. He sat in front of the lap top aghast. When he had ordered the security tapes from the Chapel of Love he thought it would be a fun romantic time seeing the moment he and Chloe got married. They had no memory of the night only proof of them both having one side of the Marriage Certificate that was plenty of proof for them. He was so relieved when Chloe showed tears in her eyes when he showed him the other half of their Marriage Certificate. They put it together two halves making a whole. He loved that. He thrived in the symbolism of it. She was his other half without her he was incomplete. She was his strength, his salvation, his everything. Without her he drifted, without her he barely lived. He needed her to be complete, to be whole.
There she was on the other side of the isle looking at Clark dreamily; hopping like she was so excited to get married to the man she loved. Like she was so excited to marry her best friend, the man she loved since she was in the 8th grade, the man of her dreams. Ollie felt like someone literally clawed at him and ripped his heart out, slowly and painfully. Oliver Queen has dealt with excessive amount of physical pain over and over again, but this pain was far worse. This was beyond anything that he ever felt before. He had lost half of himself. Who was he kidding he had lost his whole self? He was absolutely nothing without her. He needed her for his survival he needed her to be the man he wanted to be. The pain, the anguish, filled him deep and then it was turned immediately turned to anger. Anger at Chloe for all of the times she denied her feelings for Clark, for all of the times she said those feelings had stopped years ago. All of those times she would roll her eyes at Clark and brush off any kind of pain that Clark caused her. All of the times when she believed whole heartily that Clark never had feeling for her. And above all he was angry at Clark for all of those times he was so protective of her treating her she was his property or something, for all of the times he would yell at him for putting her in danger, for all of the times he could tell Clark hated it when he realized Chloe and Oliver kept secrets from him, when Clark would interrupt their kisses trying to stop them all awkward trying to keep things all business and professional. It made him more than angry it pissed him off. Clark was supposed to be his best friend. He was supposed to be in love with his other really good friend and Chloe was supposed to be his wife damn it! This was supposed to be their happy ending. Clark moved on to Lois and Chloe moved on to him. And they all would live happily freaking ever after! That was the way it was supposed to be. But him looking at Chloe holding Clark's hand in front of the alter and looking at priest pissed him the the hell off. This was not happening. But here it was in Technicolor. Chloe actually married Clark deep down they probably really did love each other. It was something he had suspected but ignored.
He suspected it when Chloe first waltzed in his office all self-assured like she owned the place and told him she knew that he was the Green Arrow and that she knew about Clark's secret and the whole team. When she stated that she and Clark don't keep secrets from each other that they were super close. He suspected it before and saw them. He saw how she loved him, how she was always fighting for him and lying for him and ruining her life for him. He saw how she was in denial and how she settled with Jimmy but wouldn't once pick Jimmy's side. That she would even go as far to run over Jimmy when she was engaged to him with car just to protect Clark's secret. He saw what lengths she would go for Clark. She saw it was clear that she had some type of feelings for Davis that she was ignoring but it wasn't anything near close as her deep rooted love for Clark. For she hid him and ran away with him all to protect Clark, it was all about Clark. It was always about Clark and even when everything exploded and Jimmy and Davis killed each other over her it still was about Clark. She didn't turn to this cold icicle woman because her ex-husband died from the hands of this man she was trying to save, no that was only part of it. The main reason was that Clark left her. He abandoned her, he left her, and Chloe died a little. She became so secluded and in more control then she ever been hiding up in the ivory tower. Oliver knew exactly why she hid up here watching everyone keeping an eye and everyone including himself. It was all because Clark and the way he broke her heart. Oliver really thought that was the moment she truly got over him and that was why her heart was so inpenitraitable.
He thought he knew her and understood her. He thought that moment at the café when he realized that she had saved him from himself, from his own darkness within himself, he thought in that moment that they truly understood each other and finally realized that Clark just wasn't her type. That he could never understand her and get her the way he did. He thought that they both came out of their dark place and they helped each other, she kicked his ass into gear in a harsh wake up call way that only he could appreciate. In return he got her to have some fun and to start to really live again and live for something other than saving the world. He thought that they fell in love in the process of saving each other. He had thought that she loved him so much she traded herself for him that she had lived in the shadows for so long away from him because she loved him so much that she had to save him again. He thought that once she came back that he had her and this feeling of sleep walking through life would be over. He thought he had a partner in life. That he had someone he could fight crime with as well as fight the struggles of life of a vigilante that the world saw him as the Green Arrow and she was willing to step in that spot light with him. He had found his other half and everything and now with in just a few seconds and one image it was lost. He was lost again. Everything fell away. It was gone. She was gone. His best friend was gone and all that was left was hate, anger, and revenge. He would make Clark pay. He had taken everything away from him. He felt something take over something deep seeded, something he was afraid would always let loose. Something he thought Chloe had tamed but he was wrong he had let it loose. He let the darkness take over and he would have his revenge.
