Fear.

He had experienced it before.

He had it running through his veins. Many times, he felt the danger as much as the inability to save those he loved.

But, somehow, this time was different.

He had his powers. He could be there in a second.

But, there... where?

Where was Caitlin Snow?

The police was looking for her and he knew Joe would do everything he could to find her and bring her back to him.

He wanted to do something, though. Something more than just sit around and wait for good news.

He wanted her back.

No, that burning sensation in his chest wasn's just a desire. It was more than that, a necessity. He needed her back.

When did she become so essencial to him?

They were friends, he was sure about it.

He smiled.

Their relationship could only be defined as... unique.

He drives her crazy. She worries about him.

Secrets, feelings, smiles, laughters.

She was the only girl who knew his secret.

The only girl who could see him without a mask.

His heart skipped a beat, remembering all those times when she worried about him. He had never heard anybody put so much emotion in just one word. And that word was his name.

Was this how she felt everytime he was hurt?

Did she feel like somebody was crushing her heart, everytime he was injured?

Could she breath?

Air.

That is what she means to him.

She was a breath of fresh air.

And now he was a fraid he would never breath again.

Suggestions are welcome :)
