Caitlin and Barry had been dating for over a year now and things were great, they were living together, they crazy for each other.
Lately all Barry has been doing is worrying about his girlfriend, he knew she was just under a lot of stress, at least he thought it was, when she got headaches just thought she was pushing herself too hard, which is also why she was so tired, he heard stress can cause loss of appetite , which caused the weight loss, he tried getting her to eat.
But as he watched her sleep this morning he realized it might be something more than just stress, he gently ran the back of his hand over her cheek, feeling how warm she was, she also looked paler than normal.
She let out a soft tired moan, as she opened her eyes.
"Morning...Why are you looking at me like that" Cait said yawning
"You feel warm, like fever warm and look really pale, maybe you should stay home today catch up on some over due sleep" Barry says running hands through her hair.
"You know I can't, what if something happens to you or Wally or Jesse while fighting metas who really patch you up and take care of you" Caitlin said pushing herself to sit up.
"Okay but please take it easy today and I'm making you a doctors appointment, no arguements, all this stuff has been going on for too long, it's more than just stress that's going on" Barry said getting up as well.
"Fine , I'll go to the doctors tomorrow if it'll make you happy, but I'm telling you everything is gonna be fine, they'll just say I'm over working myself or something" Caitlin says getting dressed as she took a shower the night before, that's when Barry notices bruises on her back and upper arm. 'How'd he not see those before, they look pretty bad' he thought to himself.
"Thank you" He says giving her a small kiss "Want me to flash to Star Labs? I've gotta be at CCPD this morning but I have time to flash you there"
"No thank, you've ruined enough of my shirts as is, I'll be fine taking my car" Caitlin said now fully dressed and gives him another kiss that last longer "I'll see you later when you come to Star Labs"
(A/N- I re wrote the first chapter, it's short but the next one won't be, I'm a cancer survivor myself so when I write Caitlin's emotions later on their based off my own, some at least )
