A/N: Hi, again! So... i have a new drabble. This one is pretty different from the first one because there's dialogue and i wrote it in the past tense but i hope you like it just the same.

Warning: It's not fluff. It's actually kind of angst.

Happy reading!

"They're moving to Central City together."

Diggle stood by the lair's door but Oliver could still hear every single word he said.

"So i've heard."

After he went back to sharpening his arrow, the older man had walked Felicity to the door. She had just "stopped by" to tell them she was moving to another city. With Ray.

'It makes sense', he told himself. She had been dating him for almost an entire year and now that Queen Consolidated was once again owned by a Queen, Palmer couldn't stay and she could leave. It made sense. Especially since things had been calm for Team Arrow lately.

Still, Oliver couldn't shake the feeling that a knife was being sank into his chest.

"And you're not going to do anything? 'Cause i have a feeling she's expecting you to do something."

At these words, he finally got up from his chair but still didn't turn to face the other man.

It was easier if he didn't look at him.

"Well, Dig, I can't. I can't tell her to stay." He whispered. And if John heard his voice as brittle as he did, he said nothing. "It wouldn't be fair to her."

I was the one who pushed her away, now I have to deal with the consequences.

" 'If you love them, you set them free.' That's gonna be your life approach now?"

"If it's the best for her, yes." He didn't have to think twice about it. Her happiness first.

She deserved better than the life he could give her. She deserved a life with a husband, cute children and a furry pet; not a life with danger, pain and destruction.

"Oliver, man..." His friend shook his head, not knowing what to say anymore.

"It's done. I told you this a long time ago, why are you trying to change my mind now?" Oliver asked, turning to face his friend.

The vigilant could feel the anger and frustration starting to show in his own words. It was easier not to think about it and this talk was becoming harder at each spoken word.

"Why, Diggle?" He begged, pain and confusion visible in his eyes.

"Because I'm done watching my closest friends suffer."

Sorry, if this is sad or just too dramatic - i'm still trying to get the tune right. And I tried to write something fun and happy since Arrow S3 premiere - yey -is tomorrow but i'm just as afraid as i am excited and this came out. Please tell what you think XD
