It has been six months since that night. Felicity now being the CEO of Merlyn Global. It didn't matter that she was a genius and an IT specialist and was only 20. Her father and Tommy would have wanted her to keep the legacy. Tommy she thought, not a day goes by where she doesn't think of him. "What would he say, what would he do?" she thought. "Miss Merlyn there is a Miss Queen here to see you" Her secretary Jerry said breaking her out of her thoughts. "Oh yes, uhm send her in." she replied back with no emotion. Thea walked into her office with a mischievous smile on her face. "Do my eyes deceive me or is that Felicity Merlyn finally back from her Vacation or study session. I missed you Liss" Thea said while pulling Felicity into one giant hug. "I missed you too. "She replied. Once they separated Thea asked "How are you feeling?" "It feels surreal to be back here. I'm the CEO of a billion dollar company. I sometimes think to myself that I should just run. Run and never look back, but I can't do that not to Tommy's memory." Thea looked at her with sympathy. "Well how about I take you out to dinner; I know my mom has been dying to see you. It's been too long since we have had the Queen/Merlyn dinner." Thea said hopefully. "I will have to check with Jerry to see if my schedule is free. But I have to ask will they be there there. I know he is your brother and that is a part of the Queen/Merlyn dinner, but I not really sure if I'm ready to face him and Laurel yet." Felicity replied honestly. The last time she saw them was at the funeral.

It was raining in Starling city that day pretty hard. Felicity got ready. Everything was black except her shiny blonde hair. It wasn't in a signature pony tail of hers. It was down. Tommy liked it when her hair was down. He said it made her look more young and beautiful. The barrel was a blur. She had to put the dirt on his coffin a Jewish tradition of hers. She stood up and headed to the Coffin. She felt light headed like she was going to faint at any moment. Then she felt someone try to grab her hand. She looked up to see Oliver trying to help her. He had regret in his eyes and she could see the pain. She looked at him with betrayal, hurt, and anger. "Let go of me now Oliver. I don't want to cause a scene. Please just let me go." Felicity begged. Oliver complied and sat back down in his seat behind her, but that didn't stop him from looking at her. After the burial everyone went back to the Merlyn mansion. Funny how she once looked at this place like it was her home, now it's just a reminder of all the people she lost. "Felicity, darling I am so sorry for your loss it must be so hard. If you need anything, and I mean anything you know where to find me." Moria Queen said. "Thank you Moria it means a lot." Felicity heard herself reply. After her encounter with Moria, Felicity needed to get out of that room. Too much sadness, too much pity. Felicity went to the secret staircase that only she and Tommy knew about and left, but she didn't feel the intense pair of blue eyes watching her. She soon found herself in Tommy's room. It was an exact description of him. Everything was just simple and light. She found herself going into his closet to pull out a shirt. She didn't hear the door opening behind her, too engrossed in being in a room that smelled just like Tommy. "Felicity." Someone said so lightly but still making her jump and squeak. She turned around and saw Oliver. "What do you want Oliver. Why did you follow me? You know I don't want to see you right now. Every time I see your face it reminds me of what you what you did to my brother, your best friend." She said to him but wavering because she had tears clouding her eyes. "Felicity please just let me talk to you. Let me explain, I know what I did was wrong I know that. I have to live with myself everyday knowing that my best friend died with the memory of me betraying him. I am –""I don't want to hear it. No matter what you say you are still the reason he's left in the first place the reason he decided to go in that damn building even though he knew... even though he knew it would collapse. In my eyes you are a person who hurt someone who would do anything for you and now he's… and now he's... And now he's dead." Felicity finally got out. Oliver started to advance towards her his intentions clear in his eyes. He wanted to comfort her, hold her. "Felicity please I know, I'm sorry, but please Liss let me hold you. You always said you felt safe in my arms. Please just let me hug you." He said. How dare he, how dare he use her feelings against her when she was an emotional mess, she thought. Felicity started to cry harder. "NO Do NOT TOUCH ME." She commanded, she started throwing books at him anything she could get her hands on she threw at him. Some hit him some didn't. People must have heard the commotion because they started to enter the room. John came over and tried to calm felicity down. Holding her back. Oliver tried to take her from John. Felicity started thrashing and kicking at Oliver trying anything to get at least one kick in. Felicity saw Laurel enter line of sight. "You bitch. How does it feel knowing that even though you had sex with Oliver behind Tommy's back, yet he still decided to save you even though he knew? He saw you two of you." Felicity screamed at her. Everyone gasped at the revelation. Laurel started crying harder and tried to explain. "Save it I don't want to hear anything from you." Felicity said," and as for you Oliver you can burn I hell." After all that Felicity had to leave. She went home she packed a bag and left home.

Back to the present… Felicity told Jerry to make an excuse for her so she didn't have to go to the dinner. Don't get her wrong she loved Thea, but she wasn't ready to see Oliver or Laurel for that matter. Thea understood and left but not before saying "I know you are not ready, but you can't run from it. I know he's sorry and he misses you a lot. He is like a kicked puppy right now. I'm not trying to defend him, but it's been six months maybe it's time to air it all out. Okay. I love you." "Bye Thea I love you too." As Thea left the building she called her brother. "Ollie she's back. I didn't believe it at first but I went and saw her and she really is back." Oliver couldn't help the way that his heart started beating faster "She back really. Is she coming to dinner?" he asked. "No ummmm she doesn't want o see you. I'm sorry Ollie I tried to convince her. I really did." "It's okay Thea maybe next time. Listen I have to go bye." He ended the call before she even got a chance to speak. Felicity is back Oliver thought. She still hates me. Oliver vowed in that moment to get Felicity's trust back no matter what.
