I'm Having These Weird Dreams •The Flash/Barry Allen•

Broken Metal Thread

Unknown POV

It hurts to just look at her.

She thinks I'm dead for gods sake, it'll hurt of course.

But she likes Barry, I can't get in the way, not after I saw her react to my death. They concealed the lie well enough for her to conceal her past on this Earth.
I am nothing but a memory.

And it hurts so much to look at her.
To see her give small smiles.
To watch her feel alone.
To know I can't comfort her.

Looking at her hurts.

And that will never be a good sign of my choices.

Gabi's POV

I turn around again. I can't shake off the feeling that someone is following me.
Maybe it's because of Eobard.
Maybe it's because of Jay.

I can't place my finger on it, but its a horribly unsettling feeling.

As I approach my house, I scan the area again, out of mere practice when the reverse flash haunted my reality.

Closing the door, I walk up to my room, shutting the door behind me, letting my eyes drift to a picture of the arrow team and I.

Two gone.

Lost to death.

I'm forgetting who I am.

And I don't like it.

I hear footsteps, but I don't bother to wipe away my tears. I need a hug.

"Gabi? Are you okay?", Asks a surprised Iris.

I shake my head no. "How can you deal with death Iris? You are so strong, and look at me, I'm a mess."

She smiles a bit," Hey, detective pretty boy will live on in my heart, forever. And besides, you'll be fine. It seems to mellow down in time. Yeah, I cry and I probably won't stop, but know that wherever you are, the force will always be with you"

I giggle.

Iris hugs me, and the warm embrace is so heartwarming I end up breaking down again.

"Sisters before misters", she chants

"Sisters before misters", I agree.

"Iris?"

She looks up," yeah?"

" I dont think Barry or I have feelings for one another anymore."

"What? He said that?"

"No, but I know he loves someone else, and I think he should make a get go."

"And you, how do you feel?"

"Somethings changed that's for sure. I think it's something I saw in my dreams, the future, but I don't really remember, and I guess it just impacted me."

She nods, slowly.

"We're just not meant to be."

"I get it", she says. "Maybe just annoying friends."

I smile," Yeah, annoying friends."

It's quiet for a while, until I break the silence.

"He wanted to talk today, I'm guessing it was about the same thing or so, I mean, that guys prettyyyyyy predictable."

Iris laughs, nodding," He is yes."

"I better go tell him I guess. We need to start moving on, and just talking."

She nods, trying to register the fact that my mind is made up.

But I feel like I'm going to regret it.

We're already over, and I doubt everything picking up just as it was. But I'll definitely miss him. So much.

Barry's POV
4 hours later....

I sped into the house, there was something wrong. Something didn't fit and i had to check.

Gabriella's room was spotless and it didn't take me long to find the white box I'd given here a while ago.
The necklace.

I opened up the box, mentally cursing myself for if she found me here she would throw a fit.

I peer inside the ring, hoping to see the engraving inside.

But there was nothing.

It was just a ring on metal thread.

I changed the past.
