Memories

Part One- Secrets

The only sound in the lightly painted green room is of lips mashing together, and the friction of body against body as two figures collide together, their faces flushed in the heat of the dark room. The first figure, a girl, pulls away from the second figure and flops down beside the red-headed boy she was just smashing her face against not seconds before.

"Wally..." She says quietly, her voice hoarse.

"Yeah...?" The red-headed boy replies, turning to face the girl with blonde hair and grey eyes. The girl turns her head to look at the freckled boy before her.

"I love you." She says, a small smile gracing her lips as she leans over and pecks the boy's cheek lightly.

Wally laughs lightly, giving the girl a small wink as he says, "Love you too, babe."

Artemis' smile widens and she rolls back on top of Wally, her gaze bright with a mischevious gleam. Wally grins and pulls her face back down to his, and the two continue to kiss passionatley; their tounges in a fierce battle for dominance.

Wally runs his hands up and down Artemis' sides, taking in her wonderful curves. Wally still couldn't believe that Artemis, probably the most beautiful girl he had ever seen in his life, had fallen in love with him- a skinny ginger. He smiled at the thought. Artemis was amazing.

Artemis was thinking much of the same thing, asking herself how Wally, such a normal kid, could fall in love with such a messed up girl such as herself. She pulled away from the kiss and looked into Wally's bright green eyes, and leaned her forehead against his.

She was so happy, right at this moment, where she knew that she had somebody who understood her and she could tell anything too. Artemis leaned back down and kissed Wally's lips lightly, feeling his breath on her lips.

Wally grinned and before she knew what had happened, she was on her back on and Wally was kissing her from above. She was shocked at first, but soon melted into the kiss. God she loved him.

The two continued to mash their bodies together for who knows how long, in a quiet dance of love and need as they kissed each other fiercly. One could call their kind of passion 'true love', and that was the most accuarte term one could use for such a couple. They trusted eachother, and trust is something one does not give to many.

Artemis' face was flushed a deep crimson as her mind began to fuzz and all she could think was WallyWallyWally. She reached up to grab Wally's hair, something she would do a lot when they had moments like this, and held on to his red locks of hair like a lifeline as Wally kissed at her neck.

She was used to Wally not caring about her hands in his hair, but tonight was different. Wally froze imediately, and reared backwards off of Artemis. She was so dazed that she didn't realize exactly what was happening until she heard the 'thump' that indicated Wally had fallen off of the bed, and she sat up to investigate.

"What? Did you see a ghost?" She teased, a smile finding its way onto her face as she leaned over the bed to look at Wally. She frowned when she noticed he was curled up in the fetal position, his head tucked away from view. She reached her hand down to touch his shoulder, but he jerked away violently. It was at this moment that Artemis knew something was horribly wrong with her lover as she climbed off of the bed and went to flick the lights on.

As soon as the room went from dark to light, Wally relaxed and peeked out from his place on the ground. It was now that Artemis also noticed something off about the red-head. He had large silent tears streaming from his wide, green eyes as he let out a sniffle.

His face screamed of intense fear and stress that when his gaze met Artemis' staring eyes he couldn't help but let his face twist up and allow his vocal chords to rip out a loud, agonizing sob. Artemis was confused, but she quickly and quietly rushed over to her boyfriend and kneeled before his crying form.

Her lips were set in a deep frown and her brow was furrowed as she slowly layed her hand on Wally's shoulder, who, realizing she was attempting to comfort him, raised his arms and slung them aroung her shoulders. He let out another loud terrified wail as he burried his face into Artemis' neck and hugged her tightly like his life depended on it.

"U-uncle Barry...!" Wally wailed in between his sobs, his body shaking in what Artemis assumed was fear.

Artemis was confused as she sat there on the floor, hugging her suddenly crying boyrfriend. It was hard to believe that not even minutes ago they had been on their bed making out. Wally wailed another cry for his Uncle, and Artemis pat his back once before pulling away from the sobbing mess that was her lover.

She stood up and walked over to their nightstand, grabbed her cell-phone, sat down beside Wally once again, and flipped through her emergency dials. She quickly tapped one of the first names, and held the cell-phone to her ear; silently praying the man on the other side would pick up.

"This is Barry Allen," said the man Wally had been wailing out to.

"Uhm, hi Barry it's Artemis. I. . . Kinda have an emergency here and I don't know what exactly to do. . ."

"Try me," Barry said, his voice its usual bouncy and cheerful tone.

"Uh, well you see. . . Me and Wally were. . . Watching a movie. . . and he just started crying and calling out for you. . ." Artemis explained, her voice awkward as she glanced down at her sobbing mess of a boyfriend beside her.

There was silence on the other end, and she quickly looked to see if she had accidentely clicked the 'end' button. She hadn't.

"Barry?" She spoke into the phone, finally breaking the silence that had stretched out for what felt like hours but in reality had only been a couple of seconds.

"Yeah. I'll be there in a second," Barry's voice had suddenly changed from bouncy and optimistic to dark and worried. The call ended ubruptly, and Artemis sighed. She could only wait now.
