A/N: The morning after I watched episode 4x16 of Arrow (Broken Hearts), I couldn't get the Olicity break up scene out of my head. But my brain was looking at it from another perspective and... well... this happened.

Major angst warning.


Already Gone

"Felicity, please. Don't go." Oliver begged. "Please don't leave me."

"You know I can't stay, Oliver." She whispered sadly.

"I need you. You know I do."

"No you don't, not anymore."

"Yes, I do." He insisted. "I would never have survived the last few weeks if you weren't here with me."

"But you're stronger now, you don't need my help anymore. You can do it all on your own." She told him gently. "I have to move on, and so do you. We have to go our separate ways."

Oliver shook his head. "No, I won't let you leave me again."

"It's not up to you, Oliver." Felicity said sadly.

Oliver stood still, glued to his spot as she turned away, "Felicity please. I love you." He whispered desperately.

She turned back to face him, "I love you too, Oliver. But this is it. This is goodbye."

"What am I going to do without you?" he said, his voice now hollow.

"You're going to live your life, Oliver." She told him firmly. "You're going to find someone who can make you happy again, you'll marry her, have the three kids you've always wanted…"

Oliver cut her off, shaking his head. "No, I want to do all that with you, not with someone else. You're the only one who can make me happy, Felicity."

"Oliver, you know it isn't possible. Not anymore."

Oliver couldn't hold back the tears anymore. "Please, I know you want to stay…"

"I can't be with you, Oliver. Please don't make this harder than it already is."

"We should have never left Ivy Town." he whispered softly. "If we stayed none of this would have happened."

"You don't know that."

"Yes I do." He stated.

"I don't regret anything. Not a single moment." She assured him. "Nothing."

"So this is it, this is goodbye." He acknowledged, finally coming to terms with what was happening. Finally realizing that this was it and there was nothing he could do or say to stop it.

"This is it." She affirmed. "We have to let each other go." She turned again and this time started to walk away.

"I don't wanna let you go." He insisted one final time. He couldn't bring himself to look at her retreating form.

Felicity stopped, "I don't wanna let you go." She turned around one final time to look at him. "But I'm already gone." She pointed out sadly before she disappeared from his life. Forever.


"For how long has Ollie been talking to himself this time?" Thea asked Diggle

Diggle looked at his watch. "Ten, maybe fifteen minutes." He replied.

"I'm worried about him, Digg. Felicity's been dead for almost a month and he still hasn't come to terms with it. He keeps insisting that she's still here."

"This is his way of coping, Thea. He needs time to deal with his grief. I think he still blames himself for what happened that night." Diggle said, "Just let him be."

"I hope you're right."

"Me too."

"Digg?" Thea looked up at him, "Can you keep an eye on him, make sure he doesn't do anything… you know, stupid. He's the only family I have left."

Diggle put a reassuring hand on her shoulder. "Of course I will."

"Thanks."
