I know two accounts. How many stories do I even have? It'll be hard to keep updating on each account. But I'll find a way to do it!

Artemis took a shaky breath and looked up at the memorials one in particular. Wally. She clenched her fists. Why him? Why so soon? What she hated more was that Bart just thought he could replace him. Yeah he was faster but he's not Wally. He's not the freckled faced ginger idiot that she grew to love. Without him she feels...different. She visits her mother more often. She looks at Jade and Roy with envy. She still goes as taken. So many tell her to move on, that he's gone and she's just in denial. But she's not. He's out there. The only thing she can think of is the speed force that Barry will never shut up about.
But what did she see in him? She gets that question a lot. He never took her on fancy dates like Dick did with Zatanna. He never was good with manners like Kaldur with Raquel. He never had to reassure her that she was beautiful and he'll always be there for her like with Conner and M'gann. The thing is
he never had to.
He never had a way with words. He just did it. He comforted her when she was at her worst. He hugged her when she thought of herself as ugly. He kissed her when she was jealous.
He never got her gifts all the time like she did with him but it was okay. He always forgot Valentine's day but it was okay.
Because she loves him anyways
He was his own person. He never wanted to be someone else. He always wanted to make someone happy, and he never failed. He even got her a dog when she wanted one the most just to make her happy.
He goes out to get her tampons even if it means embarrassing himself in the middle of the store. He would speed across the world just to get her something. Just to make her happy.
When he was...gone. She packed everything of his and put it in the basement. She couldn't even look at anythings of his without breaking down into tears. She skipped so many classes and would just sit on the couch next to the dog crying.
Why couldn't it have been someone-anyone else?
No one (Especially Conner) liked La'goon boy anymore. After he and M'gann split he just became a jackass. Bart? He would come back in a few decades anyways.
Artemis' knees buckled and she fell down in front of his memorial. Everyone was watching now. But she didn't care. Tears were streaming down her face as her hands hit the ground and her head went down.
Was this what it felt like for Dick when Jason died? Or for Kaldur for when Tula died? God all she wanted was his arms around her once again. To feel his lips on hers. His hands pulling a stray strand of hair behind her ear.
He wanted you to know that he loved you.
They even put a statue of him in Central City next to Flash. He was smiling. Why did it hurt her to see it so much? She used to hate him they used to get in fights all the time. Never stopped arguing. It was just that one kiss. That one kiss on New Years, that changed everything.
There's one question she asks herself everyday.
Why hasn't he come back?
Sure it's only been a week but surely he should be trying. Why would he though? Because it would make her happy. And he would do anything just to see a smile on her face. Whether it was one that just showed she was about to kill him or of just pure joy.
She felt a hand on her shoulder. She couldn't dare to face anyone. She looked so weak. She was always known as the badass one. She could feel them behind her. Bart (Oh god she wanted to strangle that boy) always told her that he will come back. But she knew he was lying. He didn't believe it. But she did.
He will come back.
So...yeah. Short I know but it just came up. Tell me did you like it? No? Yes? Please R&R!
