It was February 14, the day of love, engagements, Hallmark cards, chocolate heart boxes, and roses, or as most people like to call it Valentine's Day; oh Valentine's Day the day were lovers show each other how much they truly mean to one another. Every couple was out and about on the night of February 14 in Star City, even Oliver Queen and his girlfriend Dinah Lance where walking back to Oliver's house with their arms wrapped around each other. Dinah was wearing a long black one strap dress with a split that reached her mid-thigh. On the strap where green gems that covered the entire strap. She had on four inch green open toe strap heels that reached up to her ankles. On her left shoulder was a long little green purse that reached her hip. Her blond hair was straightened and she wore a red rose in her hair on the right side of her head. Besides her with his left arm intertwined with her right arm was Oliver. Oliver wore a white tux with a green under shirt and white tie. He had on white dress shoes and in his right hand was the bouquet of red roses he had given to Dinah. There were original twenty-four roses, but he took one out and placed it in Dinah's hair.
As they walked into Oliver's house Oliver turned Dinah so that she was facing him and kissed her on her lips. Slowly, they pulled away from each other and Dinah wrapped her arms around Oliver's neck, pressing her forehead against his. They stayed in that position for what they thought felt like an hour. Oliver soon broke their position and took Dinah's head and was about to place his lips upon hers once more, but as soon as their lips met Dinah's phone went off. Dinah ignored her phone and deepened the kiss she shared with Oliver but as soon as her phone stopped ringing it went off again. Dinah pulled away from Oliver and took out her phone from out of her purse which had started ringing for the third time in the last three minutes. She looked up at Oliver and quickly apologized to him. Oliver simply smiled at her as Dinah answered her phone.
"Hello?"
"Dinah is this you?" The voice came from a young girl who sounded no older than eighteen.
"Yes who is this?"
"It's Krystal-Lee, Dinah." Dinah's eyes widen causing Oliver to move from the wall over to her.
"Lee-Lee, is this really you?" Dinah whispered
"It's just Lee, and yeah Dinah it's me."
"Oh my God how are-"
"Listen Dinah, I didn't call to chat there's something I have to tell you."
"What?"
"Mom and Dad…they're dead."
Dinah's heart felt like it stopped. If it wasn't for the fact that Oliver wrapped his arms around her body she probably would have fallen onto the floor, "How?"
"They were murdered."
"By who?"
"I don't know."
No one said a word after that. Dinah leaned in closer to Oliver putting her head on his shoulder. She was about to close her eyes when she heard Lee say, "Funeral's Friday at three, just thought I'd let you know."
"Are you planning it?"
"Yeah."
"Wear Nana and Pops are at?"
"Yep."
"Okay I'll be there."
"Good."
"Bye."
"Bye."
Dinah hung up her phone and set it on the lamp table. Oliver tiled her head so that she was looking up at him and asked, "Who was that?"
Dinah wrapped her arms around Oliver and put her head back on his shoulder, "That was Krystal-Lee my little sister. She just wanted to let me know that our parent's funeral is Friday at three."
Oliver took his left hand and ran his fingers threw her hair as his right hand rubbed her back, "What happened to them?"
"They were murdered."
"By who?"
"We don't know."
"I didn't know you had a sister."
"She's eight years younger than me."
"I'm sorry about your parents."
"It doesn't make sense."
"What doesn't Hun?"
Dinah looked up at Oliver wiping the tears from her eyes, "Mom and Dad stopped playing hero after Lee-Lee was born that was sixteen years ago. They shouldn't have any more enemies."
"We'll find them."
"I hope so Ollie. I just hope Lee-Lee's okay."
"I look forward to seeing her Friday."
Dinah laughed into Oliver's shoulder. Oliver looked down at Dinah in confusion, "What's so funny."
Dinah looked up at Oliver and gave him a small smile, "It just I'm surprised she even called me."
Oliver still looking confused asked, "What do you mean, why wouldn't she call you?"
Dinah moved her arms from around Oliver's waist to his neck and turned her head so that she was looking away from Oliver, "Let's just say even with me listening to her for the first time in eight years, I can still tell she's holding a grudge against me."
Oliver let out a small laugh as he rubbed Dinah's back, "Don't worry everything will be fine."
Dinah turned her head so that she was looking into Oliver's stunning blue eye and smiled, "I sure hope so Ollie, I sure hope so."
