Hey so I wrote this story in my script writer but this website doesn't take pdf's so i converted it to a doc and it looked nice in there but then I uploaded it here and yeah...I love writing scripts and I was hoping I could do that here but I can't so I won't try again. I didn't want to lose this story though so I'm just going to upload it, as is. If anyone has questions or concerns regarding the story (or even just confused because of the format) hit me up or comment. I hope you all enjoy this.
P.S. I love this stupid show so much.
Screenplay
INT. STAR LABS MEDICAL CENTER-NIGHT
IRIS sits in a chair besides BARRY'S hospital bed. She pulls her legs up to her chest and hugs them. Monitors BEEP.
JOE (O.S.) How's sleeping beauty?
Iris turns to watch her father as JOE enters the room. Barry's chest rises and falls.
IRIS
Still breathing...So that's good.
JOE
Leave it to Barry to fall into a
coma twice in his life.
Iris glares at her father.
IRIS
That's not funny, dad.
She rests her chin on her knees.
JOE
He'll be fine. He woke up last
time. He'll wake up this time. He's
the Flash, sweetie.
Iris stares at Barry.
IRIS
It's not fair though. I thought
we'd never have to do this again.
Iris lets go of her legs. Her feet hit the floor with a
THUD.
IRIS (CONT'D) He's a superhero now...
Iris stops a tear from falling as she wipes at her eye.
JOE
He's still human, Iris.
Iris takes Barry's motionless hand into her own.
IRIS
I get that. It's just...It's scary
to care about someone so much and
then lose them.
Iris intertwines her fingers with Barry's.
IRIS (CONT'D)
I can't lose anymore people in my
life. You remember the first time Barry
was in a coma…
Joe sits at the bottom of Barry's bed.
JOE
Vividly.
IRIS
This is the worst deja vu ever.
Joe watches Iris as she stares at Barry.
JOE
He know you love him?
Iris is startled from her reverie.
IRIS
What? Of course he knows.
Joe purses his lips and stares down Iris.
JOE
Are you sure about that? I bet
he doesn't remember that he was your
first boyfriend.
Iris lets go of Barry's hand and sits back in her seat.
IRIS
Ha Ha, very funny dad.
Joe moves closer to Iris, stunned.
JOE
I don't think he knows
how much you love him. Hell, had he
not been in that coma, you and
Eddie would never have gotten
together.
IRIS Don't say that...
JOE
You need to be honest with Barry.
Be honest with yourself, Iris.
Iris avoids her father's intense gaze.
IRIS
What's that even mean, dad? I love
Barry. And I loved Eddie. When
Barry went into that coma, how
hopeful were we in the beginning?
Joe sits back and listens to Iris.
IRIS (CONT'D)
How many nights did we spend in
that hospital room, just...just
waiting for something to happen.
For him to wake up.
Iris looks at Barry.
IRIS (CONT'D)
I never needed to date anyone when
Barry was around. He was my best
friend and we did everything
together. But then he almost died.
And we never even spoke about us.
Iris-
JOE
IRIS
No. He had our entire lives to tell me he loved me.
JOE
So did you. Do you really thing
Barry's the type of guy to just
talk about his feelings?
Iris rolls her eyes.
IRIS
Why do I have to be the one to tell him? Why is it my fault that Barry never said anything? If Barry's so smart, why did he wait so long?
Iris stares at her father, awaiting his response.
JOE
You guys are meant for each other.
Iris leans forward, her elbows resting on Barry's bed.
IRIS (whispering)
I know that now.
Joe stares at Iris, his mouth agape.
IRIS (CONT'D)
They say the happiest relationships
start as friendships...I just...
Iris takes Barry's motionless hand in her own.
IRIS
It's not fair. Loving Barry means
constantly worrying about his well
being.
Joe reaches over to take Iris and Barry's hands under his own.
JOE
That's true for every relationship.
Loving someone is just a nicer way
of saying you're scared constantly
for them. Worried about them.
Iris looks up at her father.
IRIS
(tears welling up in her eyes)
Daddy...what do I do?
Joe gets up from his chair and pulls Iris into a hug. She reciprocates.
JOE
It's okay, sweetie.
Iris sobs into Joe's jacket.
IRIS
Should I keep waiting for him?
JOE
Would you rather wait for someone
else?
Iris pulls away from her father to look up at him. She turns to face Barry.
IRIS No...It's always been Barry...hasn't it...
JOE
Been saying it for years.
Iris playfully punches her father. She lets him go and sits down, besides Barry. The hospital Monitors BEEP.
INT. COMPUTER LAB-NIGHT
CISCO watches the West-Allen family from his security monitor. CAITLIN eats a bag of chips.
CAITLIN
Do you think Barry has any idea
that Iris is totally in love with
him?
CISCO Nope. No idea.
CAITLIN That's a shame.
CISCO
She's right though. Barry's
supposed to be smart. You'd think
he'd figure that one out a long
time ago.
CAITLIN
Maybe it has something to do with
him being late all the time?
Caitlin offers Cisco the bag of chips. He chuckles as he takes one.
