Tsk tsk.

"You're lying honey, I've known you for forever, you ain't getting no where by doing this. Just tell me, before I can start to see that it's killing you from inside."

"Joe, I'm not lying."

"I know you are."

"No."

"Yes. You want me to call Barry too?"

"No!", I say quickly.

"Fine. So tell me."

I swallow, push my hair back and say," I remember what my ex did."

Joe looks shocked.

"You do?"

"Yep. But not his face or name. Just what happened."

"Huh."

"Its like his name and face was like removed from my mind. Like it was made for me to forget."

"OK. You go to star labs but don't say a thing. To be honest with you, I'm starting to have some suspicions on Wells."

He looks at me sadly. No way.

"I know he helped me loads with my power and everything, but,"

Joe looks at me curiously.

""I kinda get this bad vibe from him too. "

Joe smiles at me, holds my hand and says," dont worry, we'll get through this, but, don't tell anyone, we can't trust anyone right now, even caityln and Cisco."

I nod.

•••••••

Shit.

There's popcorn stuck in my mouth.

Ew.

I walk to the kitchen and back for a glass of water.

Doctor Wells being evil, it sounds weird but, it's not as unrealistic as it seems. And besides, I have some power to defend myself, plus Oliver's moves.

Not bad for someone like me.

I hear the door open and I rush outside, my hands at the ready.

"Barry, what are you doing home so early?"

He runs his hand through his hair and looks at me with a pained expression.

God, I have to stop liking him.

"I can't believe you didn't tell me."

"Tell you what?", I'm starting to get worried.

"About the incident thing.", he looks at me again, but this time, my heart sinks.

"Barry i-"

"Why didn't you tell me?"

"I don't know I-"

He walks toward me.

"I thought you trusted me."

In the background plays,

I've got to move on and be who I am.

"I do it's just-"

I've tried but I -

"Is it because of what I said when you first came?"

I step closer. My legs wobble. His eyes alone can make me melt, his words will be the end of me.

"No." I say softly.

"It could never be that."

"Then what?", he looks at me again.

Why me?

"I just thought that, that you would treat me or look at me differently. Joe did."

He looks at me again, this time shaking his head and taking one step closer.

Stop the fluttering please! I can't like him and get my heart broken. He loves Iris.

"I would never look at you any differently." He brings his hand to my cheek.

I am probably gonna pass out.

He continues.

"I love you the way you are, if you'd have told me, we could've worked this out together."

He did not just say that.

He leans towards me and I take a step back, shaking my head.

He looks confused and I say," I dont want my heart broken Bar."

"I won't I promise."

"I can't when you still love Iris."

The door opens and Joe enters.

"Sorry Barry."

I walk past Joe, into the open.

I guess I just need time. And time, shall I get.

Barry's pov

I don't like Iris. I don't know why she believes that. Maybe before, but after our first day together, eating burgers, I found out who I really could be myself with.

It her.

Reverse Flash' pov.

She doesn't know I'm following her. I won't kill her now, not now, not ever. There's time. I have time.

Plenty of time.

I will use my power to make them stronger, faster, smarter. But I know they will fail.

I smirk when she uses her power to levitate and drop a trash can.

She will die. Just like her mother.

What she doesn't know is that her parents didn't die in a car crash.

I killed them.
