A Smiley Face On A Dull Day (snowbarry)

part 5.

When caitlin woke up she laid in bed for an hour just dirffting in and out of consciousness she ran her hands over her face and groaned she needed to go pick barry up in 2 hours.

She sighed and rolled out of bed and walked into the bathroom and washed her face she stared at her self in the mirror.

She looked like crap.

She hadn't gotten much sleep since barry was attacked she did her makeup and put her hair on a low pony tail.

She decided to clean up a little bit in the end she realised there was nothing to clean up and she was just moving things to diffrent places then moving them back.

4 days. That's how long barry had been the hospital she'd visited him everyday and everyday they'd avoided the fact that he was coming to stay with her.

Caitlin had made Barry a spare key and sorted out the guest room making sure he'd have space for his crutches when she was ok with everything she headed to the hospital to pick Barry up.

When she arrived she sat in the car for 15 minuets lost in her own thoughts she was nervous she had invited a guy she hardly knew to come live with her.

She was either really stupid or really kind she was still deciding.

She finally got out of the car and walked up to the hospital, by now she knew her way to Barry's room without even looking she had also gotten used to calling him by his first name.

When she entered the room he was pulling a shirt over his head and she just stared at him she could only see his back but it was a very nice back.

Snap out of it Caitlin! She thought to herself shaking her head to clear her thoughts.

He turned around and gave her a small smile "are you ready to go?" Caitlin asked.

"You don't have to do this you know I don't want to be your charity case"

"Your my friend and you've already said that you'll pay me back so how can you possibly a charity case?"

Barry mumbled something under his breath that caitlin couldn't understand then took a step towards her "I'm ready"

"Did you pick the medication up from the nurse?"

Barry nodded "she dropped it off before you got here"

"Okay let's go" caitlin said then began biting on her lip to try and relase some of the nervous energy.

"Are you going to move or..."

It was then she realsed she was still standing in the door way "right, let's go"

When they got to the car park caitlin lead them to her car and got in the drivers side.

"If it's not too much trouble can we go pick my stuff up from the police station?"

Caitlin nodded sure "its on the way anyway"

They didn't really say anything else it was a very awkward car ride.

When they got to the police station Caitlin greated the man behind the desk with a smile "hey Elijah"

"Caitlin hey, its so good to see you" he beamed coming out from behind the desk to hug her he looked past her and smiled at barry.

"Yeah good to see you to we haven't spoken since..."

"You dumped my brother" he said bluntly

"Yeah...Anyway my..." caitlin turned to look at barry who was standing besides her "friend Barry wants to collect some stuff that you recovered he was mugged" caitlin said unsure about what she was saying was mugged the right word to describe it?
