Title: The Undecided Path to Love
Couple: Chloe/Oliver
Rating: PG, may change later
Summary: Is it ever too late to find love? When Chloe finally realizes what has been in front of her all along, will she be able to return to her loved ones? based on spoilers for "Sacrifice" here is my take on what I think should happen in that episode from what the spoilers say.
Author note: This is my first fic, please comment. I'm not sure how long this is going to be, so far I have the prologue and chapter 1 done. My hope is to have this story completed before that episode airs, so that gives me a few weeks :D Hope you guys enjoy it.

There hasn't been very many spoilers for chlollie regarding what happen, put here is my take on what we do know :D
Prologue-
Chloe's POV
We tell ourselves that we won't do something, but more times than less, we do it anyways. That was me and love. I had told myself that I would never open my heart to such pain again. The two people that I had loved in the past abandoned me. One in death, while the other for his "supposed destiny." I'm not sure when I decided to give up on love and build up these walls, but these walls exist. I told myself, no convinced myself, that I would live the rest of my life alone. The path that I had chosen, filled with superheros and supervilian had no room for love. I had tried it once , to live a normal life, and because of my selfishness and greed, it cost someone that I cared and loved their life. Jimmy was my normal. But what I didn't realize, what I wished I realized sooner, was that my life was never meant to normal. The day I became friends with Clark Kent, my life ceased to be normal. I may not have known it all those years ago, but that friendship with that farm boy I had meet all those years ago sent my life down a path I don't think anyone could have predicted.
You know that saying, " Life gives you lemons, so make lemonade" well that explains how my relationship with Oliver started out. We had both been burned by love and wanted to have fun. We knew each other secrets, both the good and the bad, so it started out as a good idea. Key words. Started out. The relationship that was meant to just be two of us "having fun" with no presents, gifts, or ribbons" had become just that. Flowers for Valentines, and a spoon from our weekend getaway. I should have known that Oliver Queen would never follow the rules, he's a vigilante after all. We all know that they like listening to the rules given to them, Not.
Despite his rule breaking, which should have made me furious, I found that it had myself falling deeper in love with him. Over these last few months I could feel my walls start to crumble, and no matter how hard a try, I can't keep them up anymore. I, Chloe Sullivan, have fallen for Oliver Queen. He is the one person that knows me better than anyone, who sees me for me, and the only person who has been able to repair the damage inflicted upon my heart over these few years. He is the one person that I would give my life for, if it meant it could save his.
I never was quite the bright one when it comes to affections of the heart. I teased Clark for being oblivious of my feelings for all those years, but I finally realized that I'm not any better. How could I have been so blind to how much Oliver cared for me? I finally know where I belong, my destined path, but what if I never get the chance to tell him? Oh did I forget to mention, just when I thought my life couldn't get any weirder, my powers came back!
