"I’m coming, I’m coming."I snapped running towards my front door, " Who in the world is here at this time."
I opened my front door and my eyes narrowed when I saw it was Tommy and from what I could see he was very drunk and depressed, I know that just recently he had broken up with Laurel who was also an ex of Oliver Queen one of our best friends.
"Tommy? What the hell? Are you drunk?" I snapped frustration clearly showing in my voice.
"Yep. Good reason toooo." Tommy slurred. Yep obviously drunk great I bet it’s his father again.
"Alright Tommy, just get in before my parents see you.” I replied pulling him in my room while making sure my parents weren’t in and quietly closed my door behind me and make my way to the kitchen to make some coffee perfect thing to sober someone up.
"You know I was on my way to Laurel’s to admit my feelings to her. Ha you know I was outside her apartment when I saw them." Tommy spat out bitterly.
I closed my eyes and bit my lip. What was Laurel freakin thinking talk about moving on quickly. At least I would never do that to anyone not even Tommy deep down he had a gentle heart and cared about his friends.
"Saw who?" I asked passing him freshly made coffee.
"Who do you think Eb!" Tommy choked out and slid off the couch, "Oliver and Laurel together were together again. You know he told me it would never work and guess what he lied all he freakin does is lie!"
I couldn’t believe those two especially Oliver it was suppose to be Tommy’s best friend and too do that he is obviously not the same Oliver we all knew and loved that island has changed him so much I just wonder just how much it has changed him to the point he hurts his friends like this. Me and Oliver and Tommy have been friends we were children now it seems like we were drifting apart.
"Shh ok look your going to stay here tonight ok." I gave him a spare pair of pillow and doona cover," here um I’m afraid you have to sleep on the couch as the spare room is in the process of being painted."
"Thanks Eb, your the best." Tommy sniffled and pulled me into his arms and wrapped his arms around my waist.
Every-time I dream. It was always our last conversation together which always left me feeling depressed a lot I guess it’s because the way we left things because that morning when I woke up he was gone and left a note saying that was going to call me back but he never did later that night my parent informed me that he had died that night saving Laurel.
At his funeral I didn’t speak to either Oliver and Laurel I guess somewhere deep I blamed them for his death. Eventually I left Starling City not knowing if I would return but here I am a year later back home thanks to my parents talking me into coming back I guess they thought I had grieved enough.
I know my mother is the reason why I’m back only because she wants me take position in her company but I will never work at her company as I made a pact to myself that I wasn’t going to let anyone take control of my life anymore for once I am going to take control and make my own destiny.
"Here we are sweetie. Home sweet home." My dad said smiling at me as he opened my front door of my penthouse I could see that everything was left exactly the same as I left it but what caught my sight was the photo of me and Tommy.
I smile gently at my father and took my bags out of his hands, “I can do this why don’t you go spend some time with mum beside you got up early to pick me up.”
"Thank Eb, make sure that you say hello to your mother," He said walking out my room sending me a small smile.
I sighed and stared around my penthouse and made my way to my couch and laid down on it,”Yep. Home Sweet Home.” I closed my eyes for the first time in a really long time I finally got some proper sleep.
