Laurel was in the middle of throwing away all her alcohol and pills when she heard a light knock on the door, thinking it was Oliver she smiled as she ran a hand threw her hair and went to answer it, her smile fell when she saw who it was.
"Hey," Sara said as she gave her sister a small wave.
"Sara now is not a good time," Laurel said as she turned back to what she was doing leaving the door open.
"What are you doing?" Sara asked as she looked in to the trash can and back towards her sister who was refusing to make eye contact.
"Look don't say anything," Laurel began but Sara cut her off.
"I'm so proud of you," she said as she hugged her tightly.
"Thanks," Laurel mumbled into her sister's shoulder.
"Hey I know you're mad at me and you have every right to be, but this right here is a big step," Sara said as she went to close the door.
"Thanks," Laurel mumbled as she closed the cabinets she was rummaging in.
"What can I do to fix things?" Sara asked sadly as she crossed over to stand in front of her sister.
"Look Sara I have a lot of work to do so can we do this later?" Laurel asked as she walked off towards her home office.
"When?!" Sara yelled causing Laurel to jump. "Your always blowing me off no matter how sorry I say I am or how hard I try to make things right."
"Fine you want to fix things, maybe you don't screw my boyfriend's anymore, or let me believe you were dead for six years, or come back ruin our lives again, say sorry, make me the black canary oh and disappear again!" Laurel screamed all in one breath.
Sara's heart sank as she listened to her sister's words, "I just wanted to keep you guys safe."
"Bullshit, you were thinking of yourself," Laurel snapped as she went to her desk and pulled out her paperwork. "Now you know where the door is."
"I'm not leaving not until we fix this," Sara said as she sat in the chair across from Laurel.
Laurel seethed with anger, she knew Sara was sorry she heard it from her dad, Oliver, Felicity, and hell Sara herself but it still hurt like hell and damnit she was still so pissed.
"Laurel?" Sara asked gently.
"It is going to take a hell of a lot of time for us to be okay again," Laurel began, "but I'm willing to try."
Sara beamed as she went to hug her sister tightly. "Thank you."
Laurel pulled away, "but I meant it when I said I have a lot of work to do so."
"Nonsense it's Saturday we are ordering in and binging Netflix," Sara ordered as she grabbed the papers from her sister and held them out of her grasp.
"Oh real mature," Laurel snapped as she stormed out of the room.
"Okay so pizza is ordered," Sara said as she sunk down next to Laurel on the couch.
"Great," Laurel said distracted as she stared at the blank TV screen.
"You know it helps if you turn it on," Sara said with a smirk as she grabbed the remote.
"I have a big case," Laurel began but Sara cut her off, "it can wait."
Laurel rolled her eyes at her sister as Sara began scrolling through movies.
"I am not watching that!" Laurel screamed at Sara as she went to answer the door. As she paid for the pizza and grabbed the remote from her sister, "you are banned from choosing the movie."
"What why? Any Will Farrell is great."
Laurel glared at her, "yeah no."
"How about a horror movie then?" Sara asked as she went to grab plates and cups.
"Ugh fine," Laurel agreed as she went to the horror section.
Sara beamed as she scrolled through them, "Saw?" she begged as she turned towards her sister who had a disgusted look on her face. "Okay never mind," Sara said with a laugh as she took a bite of pizza.
"The Conjuring?" Laurel asked as she turned towards Sara who looked excited.
"Hell yes, heard it was really scary."
"Joy," Laurel said sarcastically as she hit play.
Sara just laughed as she cuddled close to her big sister and took another slice of pizza as the movie began.
"Okay well I'm never sleeping again, "Laurel pouted as she gathered up the empty plates and cups.
"Come on it wasn't ever scary," Sara argued as she followed her sister to the kitchen.
Laurel whirled on her heel nearly colliding into her sister, "it was terrifying!"
Sara just laughed as she closed the pizza box and stuck it in the fridge before turning back towards Laurel, "what's really bothering you?"
"What do you mean?" Laurel asked as she wiped her hands on a dish towel before setting it down.
"You seem distracted and I know it's not because of me or some big case you claim you have to work on," Sara said sarcastically as she used air quotes.
Laurel glared at her sister as she walked pass her back into the living room, "it's nothing," she said as she sat on the couch.
"Laurel look I know we aren't that close anymore but you can tell me anything," Sara said a hint of sadness in her voice as she sat beside her sister.
"Okay fine I'm still in love with Oliver," Laurel said exasperated as she threw herself into the couch cushions.
Sara laughed as she pulled Laurel up, "that is pretty obvious."
"It is?" Laurel asked with a frown.
"Look I know it hurt when you found out about us, but even when we were trapped in that island and had no hope of ever returning home, you are all he cared about," Sara said sincerely.
"Really?" Laurel asked her voice full of hope.
"Laurel you are the only person in the world he ever loved," Sara assured her sister as she took her hand.
"Then why did he cheat? And why with you?"
"We were both selfish at the time," Sara said as she began to cry. "Laurel I'm so sorry but I promise you me and Oliver are over. There are no feelings whatsoever."
Laurel reached over and squeezed Sara's hand as she helped dry her tears, "I know I was hard on you both and I held so much anger but I forgive you Sara, I do."
Sara smiled through her tears, "that means so much to me thank you."
"You're my sister I can't hate you forever," Laurel said honestly as she gave her sister a pained smile.
"So have you told Oliver you still love him?" Sara asked gently.
Laurel frowned as her mind flashed to last night and how she just left.
"Laurel?" Sara asked as she noticed the faraway look in her older sister's eyes.
"I slept with him," Laurel just blurted out, her eyes got big as she realized she said it out loud. "Oh God," she said as she jumped up.
"Nice," Sara said with a smirk as she laughed at the dirty look Laurel shot her. "What happened afterwards?"
Laurel frowned, "I left before he woke up."
Sara laughed but stopped when she saw the hurt look on Laurel's face. "I'm sorry I'm not laughing at you I promise, just seems like you both are still in love with each other and are too scared to say anything. Also didn't peg you for a screw and leave em."
Laurel made a disgusted face, "okay that is just crass."
Sara laughed as she shrugged, "I didn't sleep with an ex and then dash out."
Laurel threw an empty can at her sister as she sunk back down into the couch. "How can I face him?"
"You guys have been through so much, it's just Oliver talk to him he will understand," Sara assured her sister.
"I know you're right but it's just so hard, I really missed him when he left, and then the accident," Laurel trailed off.
"He survived because of you, he never stopped fighting to get home to you," Sara assured her sister as she took her hand.
Laurel laughed through her tears as she wiped at them sadly not realizing she hand even been crying. "I love him so much."
"I know you do tell him."
Laurel seemed lost in thought causing Sara to begin to worry at the faraway look in her eyes.
"Laurel what are you thinking about?"
"What was it like in Lian Yu?" Laurel asked bluntly.
Sara frowned that was the last thing she thought her sister would be asking her.
"You and Oliver never talk about it and I have seen the scars, I just want to know what happened."
"Laurel please we are having a good time," Sara argued as she stood up.
"Why do you always avoid the questions," Laurel snapped.
"Because it was pure hell!" Sara screamed as she began pacing in front of a stunned Laurel.
We were tortured for hours upon hours and trained to be killers, what more do you need to know?" Sara said angrily as she began to cry.
Laurel felt like shit as she saw how broken her sister looked, "I'm so sorry," she said as she stood up and hugged her younger sister tightly.
Sara continued to sob in her sisters arms as Laurel just held her.
"How about I grab us some ice cream?" Laurel asked as she led Sara back to the couch.
Sara smiled through her tears as she nodded.
Laurel went to the freezer and grabbed some mint chocolate chip ice cream and two spoons, before walking back to the living room and sitting next to her sister.
"I didn't know this was on Netflix," Sara said as Laurel followed her eyes and saw Mean Girls on the Que.
Laurel laughed, "Put it on," she said as she opened the lid and handed Sara a spoon.
It was near one thirty when the girls finished there movie marathon, Sara yawned as she stretched and stood up.
"Are you leaving?" Laurel asked as she also yawned.
"It's late I should get back to dad's."
"Just stay here," Laurel said as she began folding up the blanket she grabbed halfway through Freaky Friday.
"Are you sure?" Sara asked gently.
"You can borrow some pj's," Laurel insisted as she headed towards the bedroom.
Sara smiled as she followed her big sister. They quickly changed before crawling into bed.
"Goodnight Sara," Laurel said as she turned off her lamp plunging the room into darkness.
"Goodnight Laurel."
