Violetta didn't get much sleep that week. She had spent every night reading her mother's diary. She was curious it was tempting to know the woman who give her life. Since she and dad never talked about her it seemed like the only way to know her.
Opening it she found a picture inside. It was her when she was about maybe a year old and her mother. She had a pink sundress on and was holding her on her lap. Her mother looked beautiful she wondered if her father had taken that picture. Setting the picture back inside she turned the page.
Her mother mostly talked about her family. How her little sister was so smart that she built her first computer at only seven years of age. She also mentioned her friends, her first crush. Violetta soon realized her mom was amazing and funny she had laughed at some of the entries.
She had almost reached the middle of her diary this pages looked special. Hearts were drowned on the edges and the red color was present so Violetta started reading taking a deep breath
Jessica was right. I will never admit that to her face but she was. This party was important to her because it was basically the party of the year to me not so much. It was my birthday and she promised she would take me out. If dad knew what she meant by that he would not have let me leave the house.
The moment we walked into that house she abandoned me because Jake Stevens was calling her name. I hated that about my best friend but this one I'm going to be willing to let go; because if not I would never have met him.
I never cared much for the party's so I went outside where there was less noise. He was sitting there with his guitar. When he saw me he stopped playing. I urged him to continue because he was good and I don't mean just playing the guitar.
He was handsome tall, blue eyes that I could see myself getting lost in them. His name is Oliver and we spent the whole night talking. I don't know if this is how every girl feels but I feel like I'm flying right now.
Looking at the diary that was now on her nightstand made her smile. With a sigh, she left her bed making her way to the bathroom starting her day
It was the middle of the week and Felicity was late and she knew it. Sure it was her own company but she still wanted to be there on time. Rushing out of bed and trying to cut her morning routine in half she exited her room her high heels in hand and her bag over her shoulder
"Oh no you don't." she heard her mother and closed her eyes and smiled at the woman
"I really don't have time for this mom." She said trying to convince her
"Breakfast is the most important meal of the day so sit and eat." Felicity sighed taking a seat at the table like she was twelve all over again
After the forced breakfast this morning Felicity was really late and the pointed look that she was receiving from Peat was killing her
"I know ok." She said with a small smile "I'm sorry there is nothing more that I can tell you." He nodded as Jerry walked into her office two coffees in his hand and put them on the coffee table as Felicity smiled thankfully
"Ok, I will find it in my heart to forgive you if you tell me how it went." She smiled at him as they took a seat
"I don't even know where to start with this she is quite amazing Peat." The man smiled at how Felicity's eyes shined as she talked about her
"So does that make you prepared to meet Oliver Queen face to face and tell him he is a…" Felicity gives Peat a look "Oh come on you know he is." He told her
"I know very well what Oliver Queen is and tomorrow night at that birthday party he is going to get some introduction." Pete looked at her confused "To my loud voice." At that, Peat had to high five her
Oliver was concerned when Violetta didn't show up for breakfast that morning so he knocked on her door to find her asleep and he smiled at the sight of his daughter. She was the only thing he had left from Liv but his mother and sister were right she needs a little bit of freedom. Even if he will have a hard time dealing with it.
He had a meeting with the principal of the Starling High in an hour he wished her could tell her that. Giving her a kiss on her forehead Oliver made his way out of the room.
"I hear no screaming that's good," Thea said as she passed him in the hallway
"She is still asleep." He told her and Thea just nodded "She is right it is time for her to go to a real school to make some friends." Thea could not believe his brother's words
"You are doing the right think trust me." He told her
Sara was up since five AM trying to get everything ready so that when she leaves this afternoon everything is ready but Ray was not making her life easier he was constantly distracting her as she was doing something
"Ray! It's only going to be a three-day trip you can't possibly think like I'm gone forever." She said as he hugged her close
"I'll miss you. Am I not allowed to miss my girlfriend?" he asked as she glared at him
"We have been together for almost two years how are you not sick of me yet?" she asked as he smiled
"Have you maybe thought that I like having you in my life." She shrugged in answer to his question
"You really have to let me finish or else you will delay my departure and that will only delay my arrival back home." She told him as she kissed him
"When you do come back we are having dinner a fancy dinner ok?" he asked as she nodded
"As you wish Mr. Palmer. Is there anything else?" she asked as he nodded
"Yeah will you be done soon?" he asked with a smile "I have something you should be arguing in the bedroom." He told her and Sara bit her lip and started unbuttoning her shirt
"Well, I guess since it is a pressing matter we should get to it soon." And with the last button, she took it off dropping it on the floor as she took his hand leading him to their bedroom as she giggled
Laurel had just dropped her daughter at the daycare when she rushed into the coffee shop
"Lyla how fast can you get me a coffee?" she asked as Lyla smiled at her
"I had it ready when I saw your car." She said handing Laurel the to-go cup as the woman smiled
"You are the best." She took a sip "Oh God this is better than sex with my husband." Lyla laughed at that
"I heard you were expanding family congrats." She said and Laurel thought who could possibly have told her
"Digg is such a blabber mouth." She said shaking her head "But I bet you don't know what happened last night do you?" Lyla looked at her confused waiting for the news "Violetta ran away." Lyla gasped at the DA's words "Don't worry she come back safe and sound but Oliver was really freaking out." She said
"Where did she go?" Lyla said as Laurel just shrugs
"I have no idea and I have to go I will see you for more coffee." Lyla nodded as her friend made her way out of the shop
Peat had promised Felicity he would be back in a few hours since he was meeting Barry for lunch. Now this two go way back like middle school back. Barry had only two friends when his mom died Iris and Peat.
Over the years they had taken different interests Peat was more of a tech guy then he was a man of science so he went to MIT where he met Felicity and they become friends and in Barry's words he had been in love with her longer than he could admit. But he was definitely stuck in the friend zone.
"You went to jail for her and you still haven't told her." Barry said eating the remains of his lunch
"It's really not a good time with Violetta back…" he started as his friend give him a look
"It will never be a time." Barry pointed out "By the way you are going she could fall in love with Oliver Queen and marry him tomorrow." Pete gasped at the mention of Felicity, falling in love and marriage
"Don't say that. Felicity would never fall in love with a guy like Oliver Queen she is not a materialist and she has a brain something her brother in law doesn't." Barry shook his head
"I'm just saying if you don't tell her now some other guy will show up and sweep her off her feet." Pete knew his friend was right but he didn't know how. He and Felicity had been friends for ages how could he after all these years come up to her and tell her he loves her.
She would probably think he was joking and laugh it off and when he tells her he is serious she will make that sad face and tell him she doesn't feel the same way and it would ruin his friendship and partnership with her and that was the last thing he wanted.
Oliver had not been to Starling High in years. That means not even his high school reunions. It had too many memories of Liv in it but this was something he had to do.
Walking along this hallways made him remember her all the nice memories he had off them growing up made him smile and it seemed like and an eternity away when he proposed to her knowing well that she would say no right after they graduated. He shook his head as he reached the principal's office.
Jake Cole was a man in his late fifties he was a good man but if you were on the other side of the rules like Oliver often was you would not like the man
"Mr. Queen I never thought I would see you again since you had been successful in doing our reunion." Oliver smiled at the greeting the man give him
"For good reasons principle Cole." The man nodded extending his hand to the chairs
"Please sit how can I help you?" he asked taking a seat himself
"My daughter." The man nodded "Ever since she was little we have been traveling a lot and I have chosen to homeschool her now that I'm permanently staying in Starling it was pointed to me that I have to give her some freedom." He said as the principle nodded
"You want to enroll her here don't you?" he asked as Oliver sighed nodding
"I would. Her mother and I met here so I think there is no safest place than here." He said with a smile
"We all loved Olivia she was our pride and joy and I know that you miss her Oliver but that girl that she left you needs to spread her wings." Oliver smiled at the statement
"I know that's why I'm doing this." Principle Cole smiled
"You are doing the right thing." He said and Oliver sure hoped that he was.
