D.C: I do not own any of the Artemis fowl characters. I only own the plot.
Ch1: Call from Holly
Artemis rolled over on his side in his bed looking up to see. Nothing. He would never get used to the idea that holly wasn't there. That Holly would never be there again. He looked down at his ring finger. You could still see the tan lines where for 3 years their wedding ban had been. The ring that was once his pride and glory was now stored in the bottom drawer of his dresser gathering dust.
He wished that he could pull it out and show it off again. If only for a little while, he could tell people of their amazing adventures together. But that was before they decided to retire and live off his stolen money. That was before he found out about her secret.
It was only a little before a month ago when he got home early from his business trip with a travel agent looking for estate deals. He was supposed to meet his long lost friend mulch when he got home. However holly must had beaten him to it. She beat him to it 5 different times.
It was over the moment he walked in the bedroom. That was the last he ever saw or heard of holly or mulch. He lost 2 of his friends in the same day. All he had left were butler and Juliet. But Juliet had gone off to try out for a wrestling team now that she was finally trained and butler has aged quite a bit for a 40 year old.
Artemis's train of thought was interrupted when he heard a dull buzzing sound. Digging under the covers he was wondering who would possibly be calling him this early in the morning. Of course he knew considering only 2 people had the number. Holly and Butler, however Butler was the only one allowed calling him.
"What is it Butler?" He asked sleepily.
"Artemis it's me. Holly."
"Great...to what do I owe the pleasure of this call." He asked with silent, unseen tears rolling down his strait, and solemn face.
"I just want to talk to you."
"No."
"Artemis, please just listen to me for 5 minutes. Don't hang up...I just want to talk."
"5 minutes? That's a waste of your breath and my time. You got 2."
"Fine." She said grumpily. "I just really need to tell you how much I miss having you in my life. I love you."
"Yeah, well i'm not the only one you say that to. Why don't you call up on your good friend mulch? I'm sure he can help you with your needy problems."
"Hey! It's not like that and you know it. Besides I stopped contacting mulch. I don't need him like I need you. I really, really need you Artemis. I'm sorry. I made a mistake."
"Yeah, well you made that mistake a numerous amount of times so you don't need me to bad...anyways if you haven't checked your clock yet allow me to inform you that it has been way past your 2 minutes, so if you don't mind-"
"Artemis, don't be like that...it's not fair. Just give me a chance."
"I gave you 3 years worth of chances. 3 years for you to decide where your priorities lie. You should have taken them. I miss you to holly but not enough to loose you again. Goodbye holly."
"Artemis! Haven't you even listened to me! I left mulch for you!"
"Yeah! Well you also slept with him holly! Was that for me to? Well this is for you!" He hollered throwing the phone against the wall smashing it into a million pieces.

(A/N) okay so the holly and mulch thing is kind of out there. No I take that back. Okay so the holly and mulch thing is totally gross and against human nature but at least it's original! Besides I'm totally against Artemis/Holly romances because she is really old for him so I had to write at least 1 where they are breaking up.
