'What..why?' She said and just stared at Oliver and John. She closed her eyes and took a breath and opened them. 'Why can't I see my parents?' There was a silence between the three of them that gave Felicity an even sicker feeling in her stomach. Each second passing by felt like an eternity before Oliver spoke up.
'Because they died too..' He said. His voice seemed loud and soul shattering. It bounced off the marble floors and smacked Felicity in the face as her world fell apart.
Her head pounded, she couldn't hear anything, everything just became distant, she couldn't breath. It felt like someone had punched her in the stomach, then someone was squeezing on her lungs. She felt her knees go weak as she fell to the floor and let out a loud sob. Her arms crossed over her body and she leaned forward with her mouth open, tears running down her face but nothing came out. She felt a flurry of emotions, sadness, heartbreak, betrayal and anger.
She let oout sob after sob as she felt her entire world break, almost like someone had taken a hammer to her world, to her heart. She could tell there was a presence in front of her and on the side of her.
'What..what happened?' She gasped out.
'Felicity..' John whispered out.
'Just tell me.' She looked up at him.
'They were killed in a train accident..' John said quietly and Felicity squeezed her eyes shut and felt more tears slip down her cheeks. She felt Oliver put his arms around her and pull her into him.
'I'm so sorry Felicity.' He said and she felt something snap. She pushed forcfully out of his embrace, away from him and John.
'Felicity-'
'Don't' She said as she stood up and started to walk away towards the stairs, she went through the door when she heard someone follow her. She stepped onto the landing and turned around to face the person following her. Not to her surprise was Oliver.
'Felicity, please-'
'No, you should have told me! Now what am I suppose to do? I don't have memories of the last year of my life, please tell me what I am suppose to do. Now I don't have any family left!' She said sobbing at the end of her sentence. Oliver stepped forward towards her.
'You have John and I.'
'But I don't know you...how can I be with people, share my life with people whom I don't know. Especially after you kept this from me.'
'Because you knew us before!'
'How does that help me now!' She screamed at him. 'My entire family is dead..' She whispered at him. 'And now..i'm even more lost. And the people i'm suppose to trust..' She just let more tears fall, not even bothering to finish the sentence.
'Please.' Oliver pleaded taking another step towards her, only resulting in her stepping back. 'How can I help you, how can I fix this.'
'You can't' She whispered. But her words felt like she was yelling in Oliver's ear. 'I just..need to be left alone Oliver.' She said and turned away from him, walking down the rest of the stairs.
Oliver just stared as he watched her walk away. I just need to be left alone Oliver. Her voice kept playing over and over in his head. He let her down, kept something from her. Even when she couldn't remember all the times he had hurt her, played with her emotions, he still managed to do so now. Oliver turned around and headed back upstairs to talk with Dig. He needed to fix this and now, before he lost her again.
Felicity walked down the stairs more until she landed on a platform again when she felt her knees go weak again. She grabbed onto the wall to hold her up and placed her forehead on the wall as she let out sob after sob. She slowly turned and sank down the wall until she put her head in between her knees and cried. She couldn't tell you how long she had been sitting there. She slowly pulled herself up and walked onto the next level then took the elevator down before going outside and hailing a cab.
'Where to darlin'?' A woman asked with a smokey voice.
'I..I don't know..'
'Are you alright darlin'?'
'No..'
'Listen i'll drive you around for a little, then where you decide to go, i'll take you. No charge.'
'Thank you.' Felicity said.
'No problem darlin'.' The woman pulled away from the curb and started to drive away, Felicity just looked out the window, watching the scenery go by.
A couple of hours later..
Digg and Oliver where back at the foundry. Neither had spoken a word since they left QC after Oliver explained what happened with Felicity in the stairwell.
'I know she wants to be left alone..but she just can't be, she needs someone.' Digg said, running his hands over his face.
'What do we do?'
'I don't know. If we approach her she might reject us again and go even further into a tail spin. But if we leave her alone who knows what could happen, she is unstable, her whole world just literally fell apart by the two people she was suppose to trust.'
'We didn't kill them though.' Oliver stated.
'We might as well have in Felicity's eyes. Oliver, she trusted us and we broke that, not just by not telling her but by leading her on, making her believe for a whole week that she was going to be able to see her family again.'
'She doesn't deserve this..' Oliver stated as he sat down.
'No..no one does, but least of all Felicity. One of the most kind hearted people I have ever met.'
'I can't lose her Dig. I know I said early that she would be able to have her own life..but I..I'm too selfish to let her go. I need her.' Oliver confessed.
'I know Oliver...Let's go find her.' He said getting up.
Felicity's phone had been constantly going off. Phone call after phone call, text after text from both Digg and Oliver. Each text saying things like 'where are you' and 'please take our calls', 'Felicity please'. Fed up she opened her phone up and took out the battery and left it on the seat next to her. She wanted to go home was what she really wanted. But Oliver had already shown up at her house out of the blue. Now that they were looking for her..She kept going through her mind, trying to find some place she could go, where they wouldn't look for her. When one place popped into her mind. Unsure about it, she had picked her destination. She wasn't sure if it was the right moment to go. She wasn't sure she was ready but she knew it wouldn't be the first place they looked. She scooted up towards the woman and gave her the destination.
It had started to rain and now it was full on pouring when the car arrived. She looked at the large sign Starling City Cemetery.
'I wish I had an umbrella to give you.' The woman said.
'It's alright but thank you.' Felicity said and stepped out of the car. She started to walk into the area, past the metal fence that was up. She wasn't even in the rain for a minute and she was already soaked. She walked inwards more, she wasn't even sure that they would be there. She didn't know where they would buried. She could search her all day and possibly not find them. Just the thought made tears slip down her face. She took a deep breath in and started looking once she found the beginning of the gravestones. She searched and searched for what felt like days before she finally came upon a cluster of three stones, all lined up in the same stone style, and the same height, her legs felt like iron as she looked at them, slowly approaching them, familiarity setting on her. Everything seemed recognizable, the angle gravestone to the right of her, everything. She came upon the front and looked at the names. The shiny stones seemed to stand out bright in the dark rainy world the surrounded her. The names and dates carved into the stone made her heart break again for the millionth time again today.

Felicity fell to her need sand wept as she put her hand on her brother's stone.
Oliver had kept calling and texting Felicity, so had Dig. They finally drove to her house.
'She probably won't be here.' Digg said. But Oliver just kept on picking the lock until he was inside.
'Felicity?' Oliver called out. "Felicity, you here?' He said and searched her entire house, followed by Dig. 'Where else could she be?'
'I don't know, she didn't remember the foundry the last time we saw her..She doesn't have any other family or property. She hasn't talked about seeing any other friends.'
'That doesn't leave us any options.' Oliver said frustrated.
'There is one place..but it's a long shot.'
'What?'
'Where her family is buried..' Dig said. The two went out and started to head towards the cemetery, driving at record speeds.
Felicity looked up at her family's gravestone.
'I don't know what to do.' She whispered. 'I..' She stopped at a loss of words. 'I want to say that I can't lose you but, you;re already gone. How could I not remember losing you? I just..am so mad at not realizing and at Oliver and John for not telling me and I just...I can't without you guys..' She said sobbing at the end of her sentence. 'I just can't' She whimpered out.
Oliver and John pulled up to the cemetery.
'Only one of us should go..' John said as he looked at Oliver. 'Her family's area is 11 rows up and 16 spaces deep to the right side.'
'Are you sure John? I wasn't here when she was grieving the first time..'
'But you're hear now.' John said and Oliver nodded, stepping out of the car into the rain. It had slowed down slightly but was still heavy enough to soak someone. Oliver had walked where John had told him, about 9 rows in he could see a figure, on their knees in front of some plots. As he approached he could tell it was Felicity. He approached behind he and he could hear her crying.
'Felicity..' Oliver said as he kneeled down next to her. He put an arm around her shoulder and she instantly fell into him. In result he took her in his arms and rocked her slightly.
'What do I do now?' Felicity cried out.
'I can't tell you Felicity. All I can tell you is John and I are hear for you now. Whatever you need.' He whispered and kissed her temple.
'I'm so sorry for yelling at you earlier. I was so angry and mad I just..'
'I understand Felicity.' He said.
'I just want my family back.' She said and cried more into him.
'I know Felicity..I know.' He said and hugged her tighter. 'Listen I need to get you out of the rain, into some dry clothes.' He said and she nodded. He slowly stood them up and took her away. She looked back at her family's gravestones one more time before following Oliver back to the car.
I hope you like it. Felicity didn't remember a lot in this chapter but she will in the next chapter.
Felicity will not like the memories she receives either, all of them are seeming to be of times when Oliver has hurt her emotionally. She started to question her relation ship even more, still trying to battle her families death. What will happen next?
