"You have no right to be a jerk to me before you even got to know me," you spat, staring angrily at your co-star, Grant Gustin.

"You were the jerk first!" Grant argued, throwing his hands up in disbelief.

"What?" You huffed, "No. No. I was an idiot and adored you, actually."

"What?" He asked, his voice getting a bit quieter. He looked at you, surprise written on his face.

"Yeah, yeah. I did. Until you said those awful things in that interview that were somehow translated wrong," you sighed, shaking your head.

"They weren't translated wrong." Grant huffed quietly, crossing his arms.

"So, you really think I'm an awful actress? And I seem to be just so awful as a person, too?" You begged.

Grant stared, seeming to be slightly caught off guard. "You barely have anything on your résumé, Y/N."

"Whatever, Grant. We may be dating on screen, but that doesn't mean we have to be friends off-screen." You said, feeling hot tears build up in your eyes out of frustration. But there was no way you'd cry in front of him.

"I'll drink to that," he muttered. He turned his back to you, opening up the trailer door and disappearing inside. So much for a talk to figure things out.

Why were all of the attractive ones so awful?

"I wish you didn't have to leave, Y/N."

You jumped slightly, surprised to find you weren't all alone. You turned around, seeing Danielle standing in the doorway of the cortex set.

"Dani," you sighed heavily, shaking your head. Within the your short time on The Flash you'd become good friends with Danielle and most of your other cast mates, minus the self-righteous Grant Gustin.

"It's just me," she assured, walking over to you.

"I wish I didn't have to leave, too," you finally replied, looking around the STAR Labs set. Your character had some good times in this room, and you had loved playing her - except for the whole playing Barry Allen's girlfriend part.

"I guess it's for the best," Danielle sighed.

"It definitely is," you agreed, "I'm sorry my character's time had to be cut short, but I just can't work with Grant anymore."

She let out some kind of noise, a mix between a laugh and a grunt. "Yeah, it's better for everyone. Your agruing was just... ugh."

You bit your lip, shrugging. "Sorry."

"It's not just your fault," Danielle shrugged in return. "But we're going to miss you. You were truly amazing, and you're unbelievably talented, okay?" She looked sorry for you, her eyes soft and her mouth pulled into a light smile.
