I'm so sorry for not updating! I've had no time at all D: Just a heads up, this week and next week are completely jam packed, so I probably won't be able to update until April. SORRY!
Thanks for all the alerts/reviews :D They are AMAZING! But, if you do alert, it'd be lovely to hear from you. I just like reviews is all… Ok, on with the story!

Chloe avoided Oliver like the plague for two weeks. She didn't even look him in the eye anymore. Oliver knew that they had now broken up; he just thought it would have lasted longer.
And it would have, if only Samantha hadn't been there to ruin it.
He kept seeing exclusives of her on the TV, in magazines. She was everywhere, talking about him, talking about her mom, talking about their relationship.
Until Oliver snapped.
He wasn't sure when it had been, but it was sometime after he heard his new couple name. It was hideous, and they didn't deserve it.
Then it hit him. They weren't a they. They never were a they. So why the hell would they need a couple name? Oliver called his assistant who booked a press conference with half the gossip rags of Metropolis and Star City.
He was going to clear it up once and for all.

Chloe had been trying to avoid all talk of Oliver and his new girlfriend, but it was incredibly hard, considering their pictures were all over the news. She knew she shouldn't be watching the gossip channels, but Lois was a bit of an obsessive when it came to the lives of the rich and famous. Chloe sat on the sofa in her pyjamas eating pizza, watching yet another romantic comedy where the nerd of a girl gets the god of a guy. She suppressed the urge to scream "you LIE!" at the TV and tried to enjoy her Friday evening.
Then the film broke for adverts and she gasped.
Oliver Queen, her ex Oliver Queen, was standing in front of a bunch of reporters. He was wearing jeans and a t-shirt and looked incredibly serious. Chloe realised quickly that this was no finance press conference, and decided to watch, even though it went against all her instincts.
"Hey everyone, nice for you to all come along today," Chloe felt her stomach contract. God she had missed his voice, "I'm sure you've all been hearing my girlfriend Samantha Jin talk about our relationship." Chloe noted the utter disdain in his voice when he spoke about her. That was a good sign. "Well, oddly enough, none of you thought it strange that I hadn't been talking to any of you about it. It takes two people to be in relationship, so sadly, Samantha isn't in one. She threw herself on me when we met about a month ago, I had a girlfriend, who now has broken up with me and can't look me in the eye." Oliver glared at the reporters, "I cared about her so much, and thanks to Samantha Jin and you people, she doesn't want to ever speak to me again. You all must know what heartbreak feels like, and you've inflicted it on me." There was utter silence for a couple of seconds, and then complete pandemonium broke loose.
"Mr Queen!"
"Who's this ex-girlfriend?"
"Why didn't you tell us earlier?"
"Mr Queen!"
But Oliver ignored them all, feeling suddenly so much better, as if a weight had been lifted. He looked out at the video cameras, and prayed to God that Chloe had been watching.
She had.
Chloe sat there, dumbfounded. He did that all for her? Samantha had been lying? She switched the TV off and sat there for a couple of minutes, wondering what to do with herself.
MM
For the first time in two weeks, Oliver was looking forward to school. He had finally come clean with the world. He had never dated Ms Jin, and hopefully he never would. She had obviously used him for publicity, and he was fine with that now. She was getting all the publicity in the world. Not his problem that it was bad.
He walked down the corridor, humming to himself.
Chloe saw him, and wondered how she was going to greet him. She grinned and ran at full tilt toward him. She yelled at him and he looked up just in time to catch her in his arms. He spun her in his arms and hugged her close, laughing as he did so.
"So you saw the broadcast then?" Chloe nodded, squeezing him tight. They stayed there for a minute, just enjoying finally being in each other's arms. "Promise me you'll trust me next time." Chloe nodded against his shoulder, and they both knew that she meant it completely.
Ok, so yeah.
I'm sorry for the short chapters. I see stories that have like 2,000 words per chapter and I feel hugely inferior…
Peace :D x
