"Letting go doesn't mean giving up, but rather accepting things that cannot be."

Prologue :

The hallway was almost silent and Felicity bit her lip as she walked through it, her feet moving across the shiny floor producing small thuds. Her heart was thumping in her chest as she clutched the ring tightly between her index finger and thumb. She almost felt like she was about to hyperventilate as tears collected in her eyes.

She didn't know what convinced her to do this. For the past three years, it had been this ring she had clung to and it was because of it she hadn't let herself fall in love again. She guessed it was because of John Diggle's deep words that hit a nerve.

She stopped momentarily midway-the hallway leading to the eruption of so many memories in her mind. It was the hallway to his house-their house. She shook her head-now that was in the past, she wouldn't think of it, she couldn't think of it. She couldn't let herself feel vulnerable again, she mused to herself as she resumed walking.

It was weird how during her worst times it was their memories that gave her the strength but now, all they brought was immense pain. She was grateful for the life she was given with him but now, watching him go-it hurt and the irrational part of her brain hoped she wouldn't have met him.

Each minute that passed, seemed like an hour while her pace seemed slow. She wanted to get away from this-to be away from him because then only she can forget about him and carve a new life for herself.

Years ago, the idea didn't appeal much to her but then, she didn't have a choice-she had to leave him and she hoped that separation might have made her hate him, might have eradicated those strong feelings for him. The pain he made her go through might have erased that flame of love for him inside of her.

But who was she kidding? She finally had admitted to herself.

She was in love with him.

She always has been in love with him and coming back, she wanted to chuckle to herself-it was a stupid decision on her part, just brought them back. The tears peeked through the corner of her eyes as they finally dropped in twin sets.

I love you, Felicity. I'm in love with you.

This is our apartment, our home.

She just wanted to get rid of them, of him. She wanted to let go because no matter what, he would never be hers. Because no matter even if she hated him-

She couldn't stop loving him.

Her panda flats moved against the floor as she stopped in front of the door. Removing her spectacles from her left hand, she rubbed her eyes, trying to remove the moisture. The ring for a moment fixated itself in her thumb as she blinked-hoping her eyes weren't red. Giving her cheeks one final rub, she took a deep breath.

She could do this.

She had to let go.

She needed to let go.

Wearing her specs-she knocked on the door. The words Oliver Queen were protruding in white, in contrast with the black door. She remembered when her name was etched their as well-and she wondered how long did it take Oliver to remove it?

Her thoughts had always gone tangentially and now, they were heading off in the wrong direction because at this point all she could think about was their memories-which was very wrong since all it was doing was causing her pain and she was indeed marking the end of it. She hoped this ring would be the end of it-returning it back meant that she was finally moving on with her life, alone-without him.

"Felicity?" His voice snapped her out of her thoughts and she couldn't help but wonder if he would call her with the same intensity when he finally marries her.

"Oliver," She spoke, hoping her voice came out strong. A small grin took its place across her pale face-"I came here to-"

"Ollie! Is that the pizza guy?"

Felicity's heart thudded. Of course she would be here. They were engaged, did she expect anything less? Her eyes were beginning to burn and she took a deep breath, "I just came here to return this." She moved her right hand forward and his eyebrows hiked up. "Felicity-" Before he could continue further, she shoved the ring in his hand. "I just came here to return it. Give it to Laurel," She breathed-"She-she deserves it more."

Oliver's held tilted towards one side momentarily, his mouth parting open but Felicity cut him short-"Actually don't. I mean, why would Laurel want my wedding ring? She would want a new one-"She spoke, "But you can give it to her if you want, I mean-it is yours now. I just came her to return it." She knew she was about to enter he babble zone and this was the worst timing ever because any minute-she might burst and start crying. She just clutched her hands together and stared down on the ground.

"Felicity," His voice was soft and she finally looked up. Her cobalt eyes meeting his blues. "This was yours. I can't keep this-" He was about to move his hand but Felicity stopped him, "No. Like you said we're friends now, and I need to get rid of this-of our past." She finally said the truth, "In order to begin a new relationship-we need to get rid of the old one." She said with eventuality and Oliver felt his heart break as he stared at her.

Needing to get rid of it?

"Be happy Oliver," She spoke softly, her voice breaking, "Don't let her go." She turned around-not giving him a chance to speak, afraid that his words might hold the power to convince her.

It was done.

She had finally let go of the thing that had her clung to the past.

She had accepted reality.

Laurel was his future, she was his past.

Laurel was his future wife, she was his ex-wife.
