Hey guys! Short chapter I'm sorry, but I hope you like it! Sorry in advance for the crappy language and grammatical errors. Hope you enjoy!
Caitlin Snow's POV
I walked into Barry's washroom and locked the door. As quietly as possible, I rummaged through the cabinets. Not long later, a box of razors popped up, an open box of razors with 3 missing. Then I saw a cloth covering a box. Taking a deep breath and bracing myself for the worst, I uncovered the cloth, and suppressed a gasp. A stash. Of razor blades. Unopened. Behind them hid blood stained cloth. With fresh blood. Barry must have heard us entering his house.
As much as I hated to admit, the vision Cisco vibed was the truth. How long has he been doing this to himself? And why? I looked at my watch, and realised I don't have much time left. Quickly, I put the things back to how they originally were, then took one of the razor blades. I'd have to run some tests on this later.
I stepped out of the bathroom, smiled at them then said,
"Let's head out, shall we?" Iris asked.
"Yeah, sure. Let's go." I replied.
Throughout the whole trip, I kept silent. What was Barry trying to achieve by doing this? And why didn't we realise the signs sooner?
But I know one thing for sure. Whatever this is, we are going to help Barry.
Iris West's POV
Soon after we arrived star labs, Barry had to return to CCPD as a CSI member and do his job. Once he left, Caitlin pulled out a razor blade from her pocket, and told us what she saw when she went through Barry's stuff. If this were any other day, I would be furious about her invasion of his privacy, but now, we are not provided with any other choices.
Considering the situation, I called in sick for work today.
Caitlin ran some tests and found out there were traces of Barry's blood on the blade and that the blade was made of some special metals and that's why it's sharper than normal blades. Some science stuff I didn't understand.
Once the results were out, the whole room was filled with silence. We were all too shocked of Barry's action. Me? I'm still trying to wrap my head around this news. I guess I must have been crying because Caitlin walked over to comfort me.
"It's gonna be alright, Iris. We will help him."
Is it though? Will things really be alright? I fear it's too late to help him, or he's too far gone, and we can't do anything to save him.
Cisco Ramon's POV
So it's true. Barry really is hurting himself. I don't know what to think. Thousands of questions raced through my head, giving me a headache. But enough with the mourning. If we are really going to help Barry fight this, then we need a plan.
"So, what do we do next?" I asked, looking up for the first time in half an hour. My neck protested as it made a crack sound.
"We confront him." Iris said, determination shining through her eyes, fire roaring behind them.
Barry must have heard our conversation, or he just had perfect timing, because as Iris finished the last syllable of the sentence, he waltzed into the room, looking ever so cheerful.
Too bad it was all an act.
There goes another chapter. Well again, sorry for all the grammatical errors and please review! I will try to write longer but my phone is very low on battery and this chapter was finished in a rush. I hope you enjoyed it!
