HERES THE NEXT CHAPTER
"So I guess Tommy didn't take it well" Felicity said as they walked along side each other.
He picked her up after another one of her counciling sessions for lunch.
"Since we havent seen him in a couple of days i think thats a safe assumption" Oliver said sighing.
He felt guilty about setting up Laurel without consultanting his best friend about it.
"You know theirs nothing wrong with what you have done" Felicity said and he wondered how she read his mind.
"I should of asked if he would be ok with it" he said.
"It's Laurels life. I'm sure he'll be ok he just needs time" she said.
"Yeah your right " he said.
"So i need to talk to you about your birthday I'm bringing a plus one" She said turning towards him a bright smile on his face.
He felt his heart drop.
"You are. Who is he?" Oliver said as he stopped walking and took her by the elbow away from the middle of the sidewalk.
"Oh his name is Barry Allen" she said.
"Is he your boyfriend?" Oliver asked.
"What? . Well no we've been on a couple of dates though" She said blushing slightly.
"Oh" He said.
He felt sick.
He finally figured out how he felt about her but he overlooked the most important part of that.
How she felt.
He felt his chest tighten and he knew he needed to get away from her.
"Um I've got to go" He said starting to walk away.
"Oliver what's wrong" She asked placing a hand on his arm.
He quickly moved his arm around ignoring the look of hurt on her face.
"Nothing just feeling a bit sick" He said and he left a confused looking Felicity behind.
Later that night Oliver was at the front of Tommy's house with a bottle of scotch in his hand.
"Good you brought booze" Tommy said taking the bottle out of Oliver's hand and turning into his home leaving the door open for Oliver to enter.
Oliver entered closing the door behind him.
Tommy placed two glasses with ice on his coffee table and poured a generous amount of scotch in each glass.
"So what do owe the honor of this visit" Tommy asked leaning back and taking a long drink of scotch.
"You have been avoiding us especially Laurel" Oliver said.
Tommy sighed.
"I know. I just can't really be near her right now" Tommy said.
A an image of Felicity from earlier today jumped in his mind and the tightening of his chest came back aswell as sympathy for his friend.
"I'm sorry I should of told you" Oliver said.
"No its ok I know she wanted you to keep it quiet. I just thought after all this time that it wouldn't hurt so much but it still does" Tommy said.
"I'm sorry Tommy I really am" Oliver said.
Tommy shrugged.
"So whats with you and Felicity?" Tommy asked and Oliver let a dark chuckle and drank the remainder of his drink.
"Nothing at all" He said.
Tommy gave him a look
"I'm in love with her and she likes someone else" he said.
"That sucks man. God were pathetic let's drink" Tommy said filling their drinks again.
