Chapter 13 - A Walk in the Park
Barry and Iris were walking in the park clutching each others hands. This was it, he was going to tell her. Tell her he is the Flash.
'Barry, the day I moved in, I asked you a question but you never replied to that question,' Iris noticed.
'Well, I do think about you all the time but there is this other girl...' Barry explained.
'I get it, you used to like me but you finally realise that I will never love you so you go and find another girl to love. I finally admitted that I liked you and now you say that you have fallen in love with another girl,' she shouted.
'Iris, it isn't like that. I still like you, but I like her too.'
'I wish I never met you Barry. You are a cruel person. I can't believe you just go around and break people's hearts, especially your best friend. I never thought that you were like that! You used to be so nice and now look who you have become. I feel sorry for that girl.' Iris shouted as tears emerged from her eyes, 'I am telling dad how you broke my heart.'
She wrapped her arms around him and kissed him. It lasted about 5 seconds. Caitlin was hiding amongst some trees. She didn't think it was spying on Barry, she was just watching him… wearing camouflage clothing and hiding in trees. She saw them kissing and ran away with tear filled eyes.
Iris stormed off and Barry ran after her. He put his hand on her shoulder and turned her around. She slapped him and ran away, her face in her hands.
Barry started to think that Caitlin is a better match for him than Iris. Then he realised Joe was going to be mad at him for breaking Iris's heart. He would have to stay somewhere else for the night. The first person he could think of was Caitlin. He was nervous about asking her, but it was better than getting yelled at and grounded by Joe. Hopefully she had an extra bed!
He couldn't believe what Iris just did. She seemed different. At first he thought it might be Everyman, but he unfortunately died. He did like her, but there was also Caitlin. Barry had to choose between the two. He still hasn't chose one of them. But now it was too late. Iris hated him and Caitlin, he was unsure about. He got a text from Joe and he had to met him at his house.
He went to see Joe. Barry was really nervous, Joe started yelling at him when Iris kissed him. How is he going to react when he finds out that he supposedly broke Iris's heart.
Joe welcomed him in. Joe roughly pulled him into a hug. Barry was confused.
'You got a promotion, Barry,' Joe yelled. Upstairs he heard lots of thuds and then Iris came running down the staircase. She saw Barry, poked her tongue out at him and ran up the stairs.
'Barry, I need to have a conversation with you, about breaking Iris's heart,' Joe said. Barry looked at the door and zoomed to STAR Labs. He would have to stay the night at Caitlin's.
