Chapter 6.
In my heart she left a hole
The tightrope that I'm walking just sways and ties
The devil as he's talking with those angel's eyes
And I just want to be there when the lightning strikes
And the saints go marching in
And sing slow-ow-ow-ow it down
Through chaos as it swirls
It's us against the world
Like a river to a raindrop, I lost a friend
Ally was sitting on her couch, bored out her mind, she blew a strand of long brown hair from her face and rolled her eyes. Her phone rang and she sighed leaning over to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Ally" Laurel's voice said.
"Hey"
"How are you?"
"I'm fine, you?"
"I'm okay" Laurel replied "So, I was wondering, how about I take you out for dinner tonight huh?"
Ally chewed her lip "I'm not a charity case Laurel"
"I know that, I know!" Laurel said in defense "I was just offering to take you out for dinner"
"Why?" She asked eyeing the window suspciously.
"Because we've not had dinner in a long time"
"I had dinner last night" Ally smirked.
"Oh shut up" Laurel said.
Ally's phone then beeped "Uh, hold on I got another call coming through"
"okay"
Ally answered it "hello?"
"Ally?" It was a voice she recognised.
"Mr Watson?" She asked raising her eyebrows.
"I would like you to come into my office today" he said.
"Uh...but you fired me"
"I'm reconsidering my actions, so can you please come in, say an hour?"
"Uh of course" Ally nodded and then hung up she went back onto the phone to Laurel.
"Who was it?"
"Mr Watson" Ally said.
"What did that ass want?" laurel asked.
"If I would go round to his office to consider getting my job back"
"Oh my god...really?"
"Yeah" She said scrunching her nose up "Something's off...why would he just give me my job back?"
"Maybe he realised that that newspaper needs you"
"Yeah right" Ally scoffed "I better go...he wants me there in an hour"
"Okay, Al, I'll call you back later"
"See ya"
She hung up the phone and went upstairs to get ready, but something was bugging her. Why would he just give her, her job back? Guess I'll find out.
When she entered his office, he guestured for her to sit down and she did, clasping her hands together and sitting them on her lap.
"I'm well aware of how I treated you yesterday" he said sitting down on his chair ally eyed him suspicously "I apologize"
"It's fine" She nodded.
"I've been doing some serious thinking and since Mr. Queen came to see me this morning I-"
"Wait...what?" Ally asked. "Did you say-"
"Oliver Queen came to see me this morning"
"What for?"
"To reconsider giving you your job back"
"Oh really?" She asked.
She was angry, she'd told him she could handle this on her own.
"yes, and since talking to him I realized my mistake"
"Did he pay you?" Ally asked demandingly.
"Excuse me?"
"Did Oliver Queen pay you to give me my job back?" She asked.
He hesitated "No"
"You're a liar" She said "how much did he pay you?"
"Allison-"
"How much did he pay you?" She asked, her tone hard.
"$20,000"
Ally gaped at him $20,000...Oliver had payed that much just so she could get her job back? She glared.
"You know what, you can shove your job, right up your ass! You better give Oliver Queen his money back, because I am not a damn charity case!" She growled and she stood turning her back on the man who was once her boss and she stormed out of the office.
She got in her car, she couldn't not go to him, she knew she'd give him a mouthful but he deserved it, but at the same time he was just trying to help her out and Ally knew this but that wasn't the point, she'd said she could handle herself that she didn't need Oliver's money or his help to get a job and yet there he'd gone and done what she'd asked him not too.
She drove to the club, knowing he would be there, she went in seeing Tommy, who spotted her at the same time.
"Hey little miss I'm on a mission-" Tommy began.
"Where is he?" She demanded.
"Who? Oliver?"
"No, God" Ally said snidely.
Tommy laughed "He's in his office"
"Thank you" She said and she went past him.
"Hey, you and Olly got something goin' on?" he asked.
She whirled round to look at him, a disgusted look on her face "Are you serious?"
"Yeah"
"No we have absolutly nothing going on" She said shaking her head.
"You sure about that?" He asked with a chuckle.
"yes Tommy!" She said rolling her eyes and storming up the stairs.
She went straight to his office and didn't even chap, she just threw the door open and Oliver stood up from behind the desk.
"Ally, I didn't expect to see you-" he began.
"Don't even talk" She snapped "Do you think I am that stupid?"
"What are you talking about?"
"You payed Mr. Watson $20,000 to give me my job back!"
"Calm down"
"I will not calm down!" She growled at him.
"Ally I just didn't want to see you struggle" he said putting his hands up.
"I told you last night that I didn't need your help, don't get me wrong Oliver I appreciate it, I do but you went and done what I asked you not to do I told you I could fix it" Her tone was a lot less angrier now, but it still had the hard edge to it.
"I know that, I just wanted to help"
"By helping you tried to pay the man $20,000 Oliver, I want you to take that money back"
"I can't"
"Why not?"
"Because I gave him it, so you could have your job back, he offered you it right?"
"yeah...until he let slip that you'd been to see him"
"So..."
"I told him to shove his job"
"Ally" He groaned.
"Ally nothing" She said shaking her head. "Take the money back from him"
He shook his head "No"
They stared each other out for a minute and Ally growled in frustration.
"Why would you even do that?"
"Because what were you gonna do?"
"get another job!"
"Laurel told me you loved being a journalist"
"So? I could live with out it" She said folding her arms.
"Well I couldn't let you lose a job because of me"
She raised her eyebrows "I told you it wasn't your fault!"
"It was my fault, I got you fired so by right's I should've gotten you your job back, which I did"
"No you didn't because I didn't take it" She said eyeing him.
"Ally why are you being stubborn about this? I was trying to help you"
"I don't need other people's help! I'm sicking of people treating me like I'm a child, like I can't do thing's on my own, I can. I'm 26 years old I can manage!"
He stared at her, not saying anything, he stepped out from behind his desk. He wanted to comfort her but as soon as he stepped towards her, Ally stepped back.
"Ally-"
"Don't" She said shaking her head "just don't"
She turned on her heel and left the office, Oliver stared at the door before rushing after her only to find that she was already out the door. He stared at Tommy who had obviously tried to speak to her, he turned and looked up at Oliver.
"What was that?" Tommy asked.
Oliver didn't know how to reply so he just shrugged. "What did she say?"
"I couldn't hear her, she was muttering about how you were an ass...I already asked her you two got something going on Olly?" he smirked.
Oliver shook his head "No" Not Anymore.
Ally was fixing the dress because she was going out with Laurel for dinner, when the doorbell rang she answered it seeing Lauren who was wearing a dress. She was beaming at her.
"Wow...you look happy" Laurel said to her sarcastically.
"I'm ecstatic" Ally said rolling her eyes.
"Okay come on, The Queen's aren't gonna wait forever"
"What?" Ally asked.
"Didn't I tell you? Dinner at the Queen's house? everybody's gonna be there"
"You're kidding me"
"No come on" Laurel said giving her a grin.
"I hate you" Ally said huffily and got into the car.
The two entered the Queen mansion, Ally didn't particularly want to be there but yet...here she was. They walked out the back, instantly the place seemed alive, music people food. Everything. She looked around, and stood at the top of the steps for a minute, Laurel noticed she wasn't following her and she turned to look at her.
"Come on"
Ally rolled her eyes and followed her best friend down the stairs, the two ended up bumping into Tommy and Oliver. Ally sighed and folded her arms. She looked at everything but Oliver and then spotted someone who she worked with.
"Excuse me" She said and walked away from them.
"Man is she still mad at you?" Tommy asked Oliver who had watched her go.
"Why is she mad at you?"
Oliver didn't answer just watched as she interactted with another girl from her...ex job.
"Well since he won't answer you, I will" Tommy said eyeing his friend. "You know she lost her job.."
"yeah"
"Olly here thought he would be smart, and try to pay her boss to give her, her job back"
"You did what?" Laurel asked "Oliver you're kidding me?"
"No he's not" Tommy said shaking his head "seems the two have a thing going on and he...kind'a blew it"
This snapped Oliver from his thoughts and he galred at Tommy who only smirked at him. Oliver shook his head and sauntered off in the other direction without a word.
Ally was talking to the girl she used to work with when someone grabbed her arm, she turned her head, half expecting it to be Oliver but finding it to be Thea.
"Hey Thea" Ally said with a smile.
"Can we talk?" Thea asked.
"Sure"
The two began walking.
"I noticed how you and Oliver have been spending time together...like alot of time over the past few day's" Thea said.
Ally blushed "Uh..yeah"
"Thank you" Thea said.
"What? Why?"
"Come with me" She said and the two girl's walked into the house and past a room. It wasn't Oliver's room, so it must've been Thea's. They went in and Thea went over to the window, opening it. She motioned for Ally to follow her. Ally walked over and stared out at the sea of people below the house. She had to admit without all the people there, the view wuld be quite nice.
"Why did you thank me?" Ally asked.
"Because Ally" She said "Oliver's becoming normal when he's around you"
"What do you mean normal? Your brother has never been normal"
The two girl's laughed "I know you didn't like him much...then but...I know he's a different person now"
"You're not the only one telling me this"
"because it's true" She said "When I told him about Laurel and Tommy...I thought he might be heartbroken...but no, he seemed okay with it...and then there was this other chick...can't remember her name but now there's you"
Ally stared at her.
"He's not on edge all the time anymore and I think that's because of you" Thea said.
"Why?" Ally asked it was barley even audbible.
"Because, he was on edge all the time...barely hung around the house always out...it's weird...he's weird"
"Did he ask you to do this?" Ally smiled.
"No, no he didn't actually" Thea said "He told me about what he done, and how you're mad at him"
Ally sighed "It's not-"
"I know what he's like, I don't think he's done that for someone before...let alone someone he didn't get along with" Thea said "But he's upset that you're not talking to him, even when he won't admit it"
"He told you this?"
"No, well he told me about trying to get you your job back, but I can tell he's upset, he's my brother" She said. "Please...just talk to him"
Ally chewed her lip, the girl in front of her was practically begging her and she sighed "Okay"
Thea beamed at her "thank you!"
She laughed and left the room, walking towards the stairs but she stopped hearing movement in a room. She peaked in seeing Oliver, he was moving stuff around and looking through stuff. She slowly opened the door.
"Did you send your sister to try and get me to talk to you?" She asked.
He looked up at her startled but his expression fell to confusion "What?"
"Thea" She said "She just...y'know never mind"
"You in here to shout at me again?" he asked his lips turning upwards slightly.
"Don't tempt me" She said folding her arms "but no...no I'm not. I just...I don't get it"
"get what?" he asked moving so he was a little bit in front of her.
"I don't get how...five years ago...I and I'm sorry I need to say this but you have to know"
"Okay"
"I hated you" She said nodding "I don't know why...I think it was because your attitude stunk"
He laughed slightly looking away before looking back at her.
"And then you come back...and as much as you try to say you haven't changed, Oliver everyone can see that you have" She said with a shrug "And that's what I don't get"
He didn't say anything just stared at her.
"How you got me" She said again with another shrug.
"What do you mean?"
"You got me, right where I thought I would never be with you" She said "Because...I'm actually starting to like you"
He laughed again, which caused her to smile.
"I never ever thought I'd be the one to say that I guenuinlly liked you" She said "Because you and I were never friends, it was only because of Laurel that we even spoke but then you came back...and you treated me differently, like I had been your friend for years..even when I tried to shoot you down, my plan to get you to leave me alone failed miserably"
"I do tend to try hard" he said nodding.
"I noticed" she said nodding "But you just...I don't know how you did it"
"How I did what?"
"How you made me like you...I don't understand, if you were trying to portray yourself out to be the ass you were then...why would you want me to like you?"
He hesitated for a moment "I...don't know how to answer that"
"I didn't think you would" She said and she looked down and crossed her arms "What made you think I wasn't gonna find out about that money?"
"I knew you'd find out eventually, I just thought I would've had more time to reason with you" he said.
"Don't get me wrong Oliver, what you did was the sweetest thing you've ever done for me, but I told you I could handle it...why didn't you let me?"
"Because I felt that it was my fault and I wanted to fix it" he said.
"I get that" She said "but you didn't have too, it wasn't your fault"
He looked down and then back up at her "Sorry?"
She laughed slightly "It's fine...y'know I'm over it.."
"What did Thea say to you?"
"Nothing" She said shaking her head.
"Tell me"
"No" she said smirking "None of your concern"
He grinned slightly "So...we're good right?"
"Oh, I don't know" She said shrugging.
"How about we go back out?"
"What are you doing up here anyway?" she asked.
"Nothing really, I was just sorting through some papers"
"Right"
"So did you really tell Mr. Watson to shove the job up his ass?"
"yes, yes I did" She said as the two walked out of the room. "Why?"
"I just thought you would've taken the job back"
"I was happy to take the job back"
"Then why didn't you"
"because you bribed him" She said shoving him. He laughed at her feeble attempt.
The two walked back out of the house and into the garden and went their seperate ways much to Oliver's dismay. He watched her though, as she interactted with other's and when she'd glance at him he'd look away from her and the two continued doing it for the rest of the night. This didn't go unnoticed by Tommy and Laurel, who immediately tried to get their friends to spill but neither Oliver or Ally would say anything...they weren't even sure themselves what was going on between them...
