Chapter 15 - A Sacrifice

Barry picked Caitlin up and held her tightly. He ran as fast as he could to the waterfront. He had enjoyed last night and he knew that Caitlin was the one, probably.

He arrived there and Cisco, Iris, Joe, Harrison, Lisa, Eddie, Oliver, Ronnie and Dr. Stein were all waiting for him there. Caitlin looked embarrassed when she saw that Ronnie was there. Barry noticed she felt uncomfortable, so he reached out his and she took it. Iris looked angry at Barry.

'What is wrong? Are Cisco and Lisa getting married?' Barry asked. When Barry asked the last question, Cisco smiled and whispered to him, I wish!

Joe laughed as he heard what Cisco had said. He pointed up at the sky. There was an asteroid coming towards Earth.

'You need to run and jump on it-' Harrison started but Barry interrupted him.

'Will I be able to go that fast?' Barry curiously asked, 'I have had a great couple of days and I don't want to reset anything.' Barry and Caitlin looked at each other and smiled. Iris made barfing actions. Iris now knew about everything, Joe told her because she was upset and she thought Barry has been acting weird ever since he woke up from the coma. So he told her.

'I won't be able to return in time,' Barry said.

'You can do this Barry. Forget about everything else that is happening. Forget about what's on your mind. Forget about Iris,' Harrison said. he turned to Caitlin, 'Forget about Caitlin. Clear your mind. You just need to run around to rim really fast and it will hopefully drift back into space.' Barry opened his mouth but Harrison put his finger to his lips.

'Thanks for looking after me… Dad,' he said as he turned to Joe. Joe had tears in his eyes.

'Thanks Cisco. You made work every day fun. You're my best man friend,' Barry said. They hugged and Cisco started crying. He went over to Lisa and gave her a hug. He went over to Wells and gave him a handshake. He slowly walked over to wear Caitlin and Iris were waiting.

'Thanks Barry, for being my best friend, foster brother and my crush,' Iris stated. She kissed him on the cheek then he kissed her on the forehead. She put her arms around him and whispered, 'Sorry.'

'I love you Caitlin,' Barry said to Caitlin. She wrapped her arms around his neck and Barry rested his arms around her hip. 'One last kiss?' Barry leaned in and kissed her. It was the best last kiss anyone had ever had.

'You are coming back, I know you will Barry. You have to try… for me' Caitlin said. Her eyes were glistening with tears.

He ran and jumped. He managed to land in the asteroid. He started running faster and faster around the rims. He heard a big bang. The asteroid had exploded. Barry was dead...
