Hello! I finally sat my butt down to write an idea that have been in the back of my brain since i finished Season 2 from Arrow! So this is slightly AU! I hope you don't get confused but if you do PM me ok?

So Enjoy! Review! Favorite! Follow!
My life before you.

Felicity POV

Why? Why? Everyone thinks I can't take care of myself? Why they think that I am that fragile?

You will ask what the hell are you talking about? Well most people outside Starling City knows me as Clara Smoak not Felicity, Felicity is my mum's middle name and because she didn't like it and I saw that my hobbies start getting somewhere that being an IT specialist really didn't matter I decided to shut down everything, hide for a while till my name was forgotten but my mum being a paranoid mum told me that I should change my name to Felicity and because the name fit perfectly with me…that's what she said.

So I did. I went to the college and start studying but I fell on my friend Miles and him being him dragged me again back to the old loved places so I became part of a team but soon I realized where all this fame went again I completely shut them out…till I realized it that those things won't leave me alone so I decide to bring Clara Smoak back.

You are confused? Well my hobbies was singing and acting. So now that I made it clear that I was not involved in anything illegal I decide to tell you that two years before the famous Oliver Queen come back from the dead, me and my friend; Miles Parker, Miranda Sing, Antonia Black, Adrianna Felix, Valeria Underwood, Leon Malcolm, Cameron Lucas and Sean Ace and of course the famous Tommy Merlyn and Laurel Launce got a record…a record to write songs and become a band…of course we said YES! So we start writing and soon concerts and tours came but due to the fact I was working in QC I had to continue wearing a wig of blonde hair and wear glasses and blue contacts so my green eyes and auburn hair were only the for Clara..i mean me as a singer and actor.

A year after I joined Team Arrow my Manager Lilly Wilson called and told me that me and Miles were casted to play on a show in Central City and that I would play a girl with two mums and a deaf friend and the role of a deaf friend was my best friend Miles was cast in due to the fact his mum had gone deaf from a car crush and he knew ASL and had taught me too when we were kids…yeah me and Miles grew up in Las Vegas together.

How I got involved in this? One word. Youtube. Miles had record me singing while watching Lizzie McGuire The Movie with my hairbrush… and that went viral! When I saw it I decided to open one too, friends from school and neighbors gave me ideas, collabed with me and everything went smooth when I got a message telling that two of my favorite YouTubers wanted to collab with me, Connor Franta and Superwoman…I was soooooo excited and I agreed after that Miles start recording our Theater Class rehearsals and soon Lilly, my girl best friend, wanted to become my manger because her mum was one and had a lot of contacts…that's how I end up in several plays in TV where I was a guest or an extra and the same time I continue making videos and studying.

When I got accepted in MIT in California I decide to put an end to all this insanity and then changed my name. That's how Felicity Smoak was born but after rooming with Laurel Lance in my apartment was hard to hide my real self….so she learnt one day when she walked on me making a video. She totally fangirled but soon calm down. Lilly and her met when Lilly moved to the apartment next to ours…needless to say they both tried to put me out there for new roles and gigs but I was sucked in my books.

Soon I met Tommy Merlyn who was friends with Laurel a Saturday I woke up for water and I wasn't wearing my wig or contacts and the bell rang. Tommy's first words were "You are not Laurel. You are Clara Smoak! HOLY SHIT!" And with that I had three annoying friends trying to bring me back to the stage and the worst thing happen when Miles decide to show up a Christmas Eve telling us that he had booked ME a collab with a YouTuber from New Orleans?! Then I met Antonia Black.

And the unexpected gigs and collabs kept coming but I didn't felt…that pressured because they were on my breaks but a human can multitask till a point. Well a year before I graduated MIT was my breaking point!

A beautiful day were my class planed a road trip to Coast City, Miles texted me telling me that I had a collab…guess where! TO FREAKING VIRGINIA!

"THAT WAS ENOUGH!" I had shouted at him on the phone earning worried and confused glances from my classmates…can you believe I didn't even knew their names?! I was so sucked by my friends outside college that I haven't met anyone on Campus!

The road trip was my chance to bond with my classmates, and I went on the bus I was sitting next to a guy named Leon Malcolm and in front of me was two girls named Valeria Underwood and Adrianna Felix. That's how we met. We talked to the whole road to Coast City, a three hours drive minus the pee breaks.

I had find out that Leon was playing guitar and drums and he liked photography and Photoshop, Adrianna was playing violin and piano while Valeria was a dancer she played violoncello and did kickboxing. But when the time came and asked me what my hobbies were…I froze. The things I did were, studying and record YouTube video and sang as I played guitar and piano. But if I was telling them that I would probably help them found out my secret.

"I making videos from my favorite shows but I don't upload them on YouTube" I had said. That was one of the stupidest things because the next thing Leon had said was about the YouTuber Clara Smoak and how our last names were the same.

They didn't took them long to discover my secret when Leon was taking pictures of Laurel for her new driver licenses because she had lost the old one and Leon had volunteered to help he fell over my makeup/ transformation to Clara bag. How the girl's find out? Well they watched all my videos and start investigating….they were IT students! The funny scene was the way they told me how the found out.

It was a nice raining day and I had only slept for four hours because I was editing and studying for the exams so I walked to my seat which was in the middle of Adrianna and Valeria and Leon was sitting to the seat in front of me and down.

"Good morning, Clara! Didn't you slept good?" Adrianna asked with a smirk on her red lips causing Leon to turn brutally to our side.

I was so tired to realize it and said: "Yes, I was up almost all night studying and editing…wait! Clara?!" I yelled looking shocked at Leon and then around me to see that class was half empty.

"Yeah! You are the youtuber, Clara Smoak! DAMN! If I hadn't put face recognition on your photo from the road trip and a photo from a video I wouldn't be able to tell if you are the same person." Valeria said calmly and then turned her attention to the course. Me and Leon had freeze in shock.

So when I learnt I got a job at Starling Tommy and Laurel were beyond excited and helped me found an apartment in a safe neighborhood and close to Laurel's house. Them and the rest of my friends help me move in and because acting nor youtube didn't stop haunt me I continue making videos and got me involved in Theater Class of Starling City so I can be socialized more easily, there I met Cameron Lucas and Miranda Sing and then I found out that they would be my co-workers and they were from Atlanta. Well the days passed and soon I found out that Cameron was gay and he was dating his roommate Sean Ace.

A Christmas Morning, that me and Miranda, Cameron and Sean had a sleepover the previous night, the bell rang and I came face to face with Laurel and Tommy with cookies and Leon, Miles, Valeria, Adrianna, Lilly, Antonia and my mum on my front door smiling like fools and then screamed at me:

"Merry Christmas, Clara!" They yelled and caused Sean and Cameron with Miranda to jump twelve feet up from the couches and sleeping bags.

"CLARA?" They said in sync. I just winced and over breakfast I also told them my secret.

So one day we had a Beach day all together as friends minus my mum. Sean had the idea to go cast for a TV show. Lilly was more that glad to get the chance to play the manager again so the next day she came to my lunch break with her tablet with at least 12 casting calls from California to Central City. So on Weekend we prepared ourselves for a HUGE roadtrip! The whole weekend we passed it in waiting rooms, learning roles and casting.

It had to be a year later that me and Miles had gotten that role in Central City…so when Laurel and Tommy learnt that they wanted to rush into my house but Oliver had just come back from the dead so I forbid them to come and force them to stay with him…Laurel though didn't hear me and throw me and Miles a party…a small one but a party. Miles who had also moved in with me as a roommate after that fateful Christmas morning was all down for a party I on the other hand was stuck in QC and then I found a bleeding Oliver in my car.

That's was that I got tangled in the Arrow job. Thank God that the lead role was given to another guy that was busy making a movie in Australia so the shooting didn't start two years later and exactly the time I needed a way out, when Sara showed up.

Me and Miles who had moved in with his girlfriend Isabella took the plane and went to Central City and for the rest 13 days we shoot the two first episodes but then Oliver called and shouted at me for living them alone for so long…I did care but I wasn't ready to be found so I broke the phone after the call, of course all my personal data were saved because I had taken the Memory and SIM cards out.

In my days there I had collab with at least 8 youtubers and shoot the first season of the show called "A Life Full Of Unexpected Turns" that aired on ABC two months later.

Needless to say that Tommy and Laurel and my best friends were glued to the screen and my mum with her new husband Mario were beyond proud.

(A/N: Let's say that Tommy never died just got hurt after the Undertaking)

Diggles was also keen on my TV show and guess who was his favorite character? Tanya Williams! My role!

Of course in all my public appearances and youtube appearance I kept my auburn hair and green eyes.

But the difficult decision came when a night Miles who played Nicolas Paige in the TV Show decided to record us a video were me and our friends sing in turns our favorite songs. And the next second I uploaded on Youtube, Superwoman tweeted and then more and more people did and I don't know how but somehow a guy who looked for young talents saw it and asked us to go see him in California.

I manage to "sneek out" of town with my friends and go to LA and talk with him…that's how we got the deal of an album!

The Arrow job was going hard, writing and recording songs and videos was under control when suddenly Adam Newt, the lead role from the TV Show, texted me that we were renewed for a Season 2 and that summer we were going on Comic Con in San Diego!

How the hell would I be able to leave Oliver and Dig and Roy without suspecting a thing? One day me, Tommy, Laurel and Miles were in Big Belly talking about it and Tommy told us that Lilly had called him telling him that a day after Comic Con was done she had booked us a gig in New Orleans.

So that was when gorgeous Laurel came up with the idea!

"We could tell Oliver and the rest that you had your mum's wedding on Summer! That's when we could all go to San Diego and then New Orleans! Donna and Mario were really glad to help when I called them!" That moment Miles kissed her in the cheek and hugged her tight telling million thank you per second.

"It would work!" Tommy had said.

(A/N: Let say that after the Undertaking both Laurel and Tommy learnt the truth about the Arrow and Miles found out himself while the rest gang has no idea)

So that night in the foundry me and Tommy were talking about my show with Diggles, without John knowing that he had in front him his favorite role.

"Oh! Shit!" I exclaimed as my mum called just in time for the plan to work.

"What happen?" John asked as Tommy smirked at me.

"Hey! Mum! I totally forgot that in two months is your wedding! I am sorry! I haven't talked to my boss yet…can I call you later tomorrow telling you?" I played my role perfectly. What? Professional Actor!

Suddenly Oliver stopped his training and looked at me with a curious glance that made me proud of my pretending skills.

After the call me and Oliver discussed about how many days I could be able to be gone. You will be glad that he gave me three months of day off!

When me and Tommy left the foundry outside my car we did our happy dance that the plan had worked but we were too caught up in our happiness that we didn't notice Oliver looking at us shocked.

"Well San Diego and New Orleans, here we come! Wait till the guys hear this! They all going to freak!" Tommy said sighing after he stopped jumping like twelve years old girl. I was so busy laughing at his reaction that the only thing I could do was nod.

When we drove to his place and then to mine needless to say my twitter, facebook and Google + was on fire with "congrats" and "well done" messages from fans and fellow youtubers.

I smiled like an idiot in my phone that I didn't notice a shadow outside my window, Oliver dressed as the Arrow looking heartbroken at my living room.

What do you think? Were you confused? Should i continue it? Give me ideas in your reviews if you want!

See you!
