The Flash Beginnings

Song of the day: Thinking Out Loud

"Mom! Mom!" A little blonde boy screamed.

The boy was by the kitchen door looking at his mother in the middle of flashes of lightning.

"Run! Run Barry Run!" The desperate mother cried to her son.

A man in yellow with red glowing eyes suddenly appeared in front of the him. The man raised a blurry hand ready to strike him.

"Noo! Barry!" The woman was on the floor with a horrified look and tears streaking down her face.

A yellow streak of light flashed through the place where the kid was a minute ago both disappearing into the night. The kid found himself standing in the middle of the street several blocks away from his house.

"Mom? Mom?!"

=8 Years Later=

"Hey Cisco," I called to my long time best friend.

He ran across the street to me. He adjusted his backpack once he got across the street.

"Hey Barry, want some?" He offered me some peanuts.

"No thanks," I turned down his offer.

We crossed the street and a bunch of kids passed us heading to the high school. A chocolate brown skinned girl with black hair pushed past purposely knocking my belongings to the street.

"Hey hey hey hey," Cisco helped me pick up my things as fast as we could from the street and run to the other side. "Care to explain what that was all about?"

"Uh, well stuff happened while you were away," I shoved as many things as I could back into my backpack.

"What kind of things?" He eyed me.

"We broke up and she isn't happy about it at all," I sheepishly answered.

"Wait so let me get this straight. You finally get the girl of your dreams and you are both a thing for a few months and then you break up!?" Cisco laughed. "Oh dude no wonder she is mad at you."

"Yeah thanks for making me feel bad at myself."

"You're welcome dude." " So what does Joe say about this whole ordeal?"

"Well he actually agrees with me."

"What? Why?" Cisco asked confused.

"Well it's because of the reason of why I broke up with Iris," I was uneasy about sharing the reason with Cisco but he shared everything with me.

There was a short pause before I continued, "Iris was getting a bit jealous and controlling, and I just couldn't continue like that. So I just closed the chapter on that story."

"Things must be awkward at home then, huh?"

"If only you knew," Cisco rolled his eyes at this response.

We were still a block away from school but it didn't matter since it rang.

"We better hurry up, we're late to school on our first day and that's your style not mine," Cisco complained.
