Miles Away. With chloeas.

Oliver pressed the phone to his ear as he made his way into his apartment in Star City, setting his briefcase down on the floor. A smile tugged at his lips when he heard her voice on the other end of the line. "So what are you wearing?" he teased.

Comments

[chloeas]

She squinted a little more, trying not to lift her head too much and without turning to look at the car behind her, "there's this big SUV behind me, I made a couple of turns to see if they would go away but they are still here, I'm driving over to the police station." She started again once the light turned green, speeding a little more."

[dl_greenarrow]

Alarm shot through him and he clutched his phone a little more tightly, moving to his landline. "Hold tight, Sidekick. Calling for backup," he told her, picking up the handset and dialing Clark's number.

[chloeas]

"I'm okay" She told him even though her eyes were wide as the other car picked up speed behind her and there was only so much speed her poor old bug could handle, she made a sudden turn but no luck, they were right behind her and in a hurry to turn again, she dropped the phone on the floor of the passenger's side.

Crap! Chloe gasped as they bumped against the back of her car, "okay, I do need back up," She yelled in the direction of the phone, "I dropped my phone, I can't hear you

[dl_greenarrow]

Oliver's eyes widened with horror as he listened to the sounds on the other end of his cell line, his heart beating rapidly in his chest. He could hear her screaming, a loud crash, then the sound of metal being crunched.

"Chloe!" It was all he could do not to hurl his useless phone away from him. Then he heard Clark's voice on the other end of his landline, saying something about being on it and then both lines went dead.

"Son of a bitch!"

[chloeas]

When she woke up, she had an extremely worried Clark standing there, staring at her. He told her what had happened, how he had gotten to her before she hit the water, how her car was not in a very good shape (after she asked) and how he didn't get a good look at who was in the other car.

He also told her she had to stay in the hospital overnight because she had been unconscious for a while since the impact had been strong. luckily, other than an awful headache, she didn't feel any other pain.

So when Clark had to leave, she was left to the five channels the tv had to offer and hospital jell-o.

Oliver made his way down the corridors of Metropolis General, raking a hand through his hair. Ignoring the curious, surprised looks from the various nurses and patients walking by, he headed straight toward the room he'd been told she was in.

When he saw it was partially opened, he quickly stepped inside, his face pale, his brown eyes filled with worry.

[chloeas]

Chloe looked up when she heard footsteps, thinking it was one of the nurses or one of the doctors coming in to check on her, what she didn't expect was to see him standing there, staring at her with slightly wide eyes.

"Oliver?" She looked at him, surprised. Last time they talked, she was pretty sure he was halfway across the country.

[dl_greenarrow]

He remained standing still. "Are you all right?" He looked her over, then hesitantly moved closer. Truthfully he was surprised she was awake.

[chloeas]

She nodded slowly, still staring at him surprised he was actually in the room, "yeah, I have a headache but I'm okay otherwise." She paused, "what are you doing here?"

[dl_greenarrow]

He gave her a look. "Chloe, you do remember we were on the phone when this all happened, right?" His eyes were still worried.

[chloeas]

Cocking her head slightly she nodded, smiling a little, "yeah, I remember. Think I can blame you for distracting me?"

[dl_greenarrow]

He winced a little, guilt washing over him. "Chloe--"

[chloeas]

She frowned hard, now the worried look was on her face, "what's wrong?" Sure, she was in the hospital but she was fine so it had to be something else.

[dl_greenarrow]

He sat down in the chair beside her bed, looking down at his hands. "I'm sorry."

[chloeas]

She was definitely missing something, "what are you sorry for?"

[dl_greenarrow]

He looked up at her, a deep frown on his face. "Chloe, someone was trying to run you off the road, and from what I can tell, actually managed to do so. And this wasn't twenty-four hours after I asked you to dig up some stuff on Lex for me. You really think that's a coincidence?"
