Day My Life Became Confusing
"Artemis. We need to talk."
That was the day my world turned upside down. But first I'll tell you about me, my name is Artemis. I am the hero Artemis, the s-partner of Green arrow. I'm in a covert team under the surname Young Justice. I'm 16 years old and I lived with my mom. But she got sick. I had to put her in a nursing home, and Uncle Ollie helped pay for one in Star City. After that I couldn't live in Gotham anymore without her, so Ollie took me in. I found out that Dinah aka Black Canary also lived there. It was ok, I would still be able to go to Gotham Academy, so long as I was able to use zeta tubes, visit my mother every other day, and still make time to kick ass.
I had dated one of my teammates, Wally aka Kid Flash, for almost a year. He called be beautiful, his spitfire, and that he loved me. So when I got the call about needing to talk I thought it was normal. We meet up in the park a little further away from anyone so they couldn't hear us, and then he said those words.
"Artemis, I really care about you. But I don't think were working out."
My heart dropped.
"What did I do wrong? I can change Wally."
I started to sound desperate.
"You didn't do anything wrong. It's just…..I met someone new."
Why wasn't I enough?
"W...Who I-is s...she?"
My voice started to crack I knew tears were coming.
"Linda, Linda Park."
His 'study' buddy.
"You said there was nothing between you two. You lied."
That was 3 months ago.
"I didn't know what I felt. But now I know and I never meant to hurt you Artemis."
I thought I'd finally have my happily ever after.
"Fine Wally, go be with Linda. I hope you're happy with your choice."
Then I turned and walked away.
I could feel tears running down my face, but didn't bother wiping them off. I continued walking until I was back inside Ollie's, my home. He and Dinah were out on a date. So I was all alone. I hadn't realized that it was this late. It was already dark and raining. I looked down at myself, and saw I was soaked, so I went up to my room and changed into sweats and an oversized shirt. I gathered all her hair into a topknot on my head then went down stairs.
I walked to the counter and slide down the side, I looked out the window that was across from it, and looked at the rain and lightning come from the sky.
Then I broke down. I balled my hands up to my hair and took it out, so maybe it could hid me from reality. I sat there until I heard someone come in; I didn't even jump into my training so I could defend myself.
Babs and Bette came in and immediately went to my side asking if I was ok. So we got up sat at the stools with some rocky road and I told them what happened. They both comforted me say she didn't need him, he was a jerk, a douche, an idiot, and they were going to kidnap him and torture him. That was Bette. Sometimes she was a little more devious than what was good for her.
Barbra and Better stayed the night and when I woke up again I stared at the stars in the sky and thought 'I have Bette, Babs, Dick, Megan, Zee, Rob, Kal, Raquel, Conner, Ollie, I have my family. I don't need Wally.' I smiled and lay back down to sleep.
The blond archer would wake up the next day with 2 of her best friends nearby. She would be able to get over the red headed speedster and move onto someone who cared about.
Someone with an obsession for trolling people.
Author Note- . .It! Seriously, this was a break up that happened to me, exact things said, but for Artemis. Besides I wanted to throw some traught into the mix. It is one of my OTP's. Anyway this is the hiatus that I might add one-shot or more chapters to stories if I feel like I got it good enough until then just be looking every once in a while. Until then, see you guys later!
