Felicity stormed into her office and slammed her coffee down on the table. Hard. She was angry. No not angry. Raging. She couldn't believe that he'd done that! That he'd had the nerve to assume those…those things about her! Her heart felt as though it would burst from the rage that swelled within her. His presence behind her only made it worse.
"Felicty," his voice was sharp yet pleading. She could tell he was desperate. "Felicty I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, it's just…everything spun out of control." Oliver was begging now. He stretched out a hand and gently brushed her elbow.
"Don't you dare touch me!" she flinched from his touch and walked to the window. She stared down at the moving traffic below. The sun was shining down on the world below, as is it was mocking her. Tears fell from her eyes as she tried all she could to blink them away.
"You honestly think that after everything you've done, I'll forgive you Oliver?" her words contrasted her tears. They were blunt, hurtful. She felt his wince at his words and couldn't help the pang in her heart. But she had to be strong. Turning to face her boss, her friend – ex-friend as he was now – she spoke with sharp resolution.
"I can't do this anymore Oliver. I-I can't be me and work here. It's impossible and now, after what you did, I can't be anywhere near where you are." Her heart screamed at her to just forget it but she refused to listen.
"What are you saying Felicity?" the desperation in his voice was heartbreaking.
"I'm saying, I'm handing in my two weeks notice. For this job and us. I can't do it anymore. I'm- I'm sorry Oliver. I just can't."
"Felicity please. We can work through this. We have before and we can again. I know we can. Please, don't do this. I lo-"
"DON'T!" she cut him off with a scream, finally letting the rage out. "Don't." she repeated, her tone softer. She met his distressed gaze with hard determination. "Don't make this harder than it has to be. Two weeks, Oliver. Two weeks and I'm out of here. And there isn't anything you can do or say to change that." Felicity moved to sit behind her desk and switched her computer on. An awkward silence filled the room.
"I think that'll be all, Mr. Queen."
She didn't even look up to see him walk out of the office. Instead, she let the tears fall and did nothing to contain them. She didn't care who saw. It was over. Looking down at her left hand, she pulled the rings off her finger. It was over. And there was no going back.
