I stared at Caitlin, who was, now, resting on a stretcher. I then took her hand and held it, "Be strong, Cait" I said in a quiet voice.

I heard footsteps behind me and I turned around and saw Cisco, slowly walking in. "Don't worry, she's one of the strongest people I know" He said with a little smile to reassure me.

I silently nodded in agreement, "Yea" I said, the only words I could muster.

"How is she holding up"? I asked, breaking the silence.

"Well" Cisco said. "Her vitals are good, but her injures are….horrible. I'm no specialist, but it seems like she was struggling a lot to run away from him, but the more she did that, the more the metahuman attacked her" Cisco said. It was hard to not imagine Cait being kicked and punched around, as if she was some disposable thing.

Cisco rested his hand on my shoulder, "Don't worry, though, she's healing from Killer Frost's healing abilities" He said.

I then stood up from the stool and then headed to the wall across from me, and grabbed the coat from the hook. "I'm going home, I don't want to keep Iris worried and waiting" I said, putting the jacket over my head and putting my arms through the sleeves.

"If ANYTHING happens to her, call me" I said, sternly. Cisco nodded and then went to the next room, to get something.

I buttoned my jacket and threw the hanging piece of scarf across my neck. I then approached Caitlin once again, and looked at her. I then bent down and gave her a gentle kiss on the cheek. As if, that would do anything.

"Bye, Cisco"! I yelled, walking toward the exit. He yelled goodbye back, and I was on my way home

I approached our apartment room, and dug my hands into my pockets, looking for the key. In seconds, the door swung open, and I saw Iris.

"Hey" I said, in an exhausted tone. I then entered inside, and the first I did was to plop onto the green seat across from the TV.

"Dinner's in the microwave" She said. "I'm going to bed" She said. Immediately, I could tell something was off. I immediately stood up from the couch, and rushed towards her.

I grabbed her wrist before she made any movement up the stairs. "What's wrong"? I asked, looking into her eyes.

She gave me the longest stare, as if the question I had asked her was stupid. "You never would have told me, would you"? She asked, her eyes becoming full of water.

"Iris, what are you talking about"? I asked.

"When you left to go save Caitlin, Cisco tracked your location and was able to hack into the cameras of the parking lot" She said. "I heard and saw everything". Immediately, there was a wash of guilt.

"How could you"? She asked, a tear falling down her face.

"I-Iris, it's not what you think, I"- She then yanked her hand out of my grasp, and then moved back.

"Don't tell me that" She said. She sighed, "Barry, do you even love me"? She asked.

I scoffed, "Of course, I do" I said, moving towards her, only for her to move a step back.

"Then, choose" She said.

"Choose what"? I asked.

"Caitlin or me"? She asked.

As those words came out of her mouth, I felt my heart starting to pound faster. "I-Iris I'm not choosing, this is ridiculous" I said, putting my hands up in frustration.

She then walked past me and was headed towards the door. She grabbed the doorknob and then turned around to me, "Choose" She said again.

"Iris, I'm not going to choose"! I yelled back.

"I swear on my mom's grave, Barry! If you do not choose, I'm walking out of here and never looking back"! She yelled, back with anger.

"It was just a kiss, Iris"! I yelled.

Immediately, she took off the engagement ring, and threw it at me, and it was rolling somewhere on the ground. "If it was just a kiss, maybe that was just a stupid ring" She said.

"Iris, you seriously aren't doing this" I said, looking for the ring.

"You're right, I'm not doing this anymore" She yelled. She walked past me and up the stairs. In a matter of minutes, she had luggage following her down the stairs.

I then grabbed her wrist, "Iris, you're being ridiculous"! I yelled. She struggled to get out of my grasp.

"Don't touch me" She said. "You'd rather choose her over me, what a bullshit choice" She said.

I still had my hand on her wrist. "Let me go" She said. "Barry, let me go"! She yelled. As soon as I let go, she rushed to the door.

"Don't you dare follow me" She said, sternly. She unlocked it, and she was gone. The only thing left was the loud slam of the door, and the gush of wind that came with it.

I sighed, not knowing what to do, right now. It was like everything happened so fast, she ended everything so fast. I ended everything so fast, when I kissed Caitlin. I kicked the nearest thing next to me, and pounded the wall, ignoring the pain.

"No, it's not ending like this" I muttered to myself. I rushed towards the door, and left the room.
