Chasing Lightning (Barry Allen)

2-Drawn to you

Facing the Dilemma of saving your surroundings or saving yourself isn't the best thing that can happen to someone.

I already lost many things because of my selfishness, and now, the guilt is ripping my chest like a knife. I can't forget, I simply can't erase my past.

These memories are torturing me, and the pain keeps worsening within my heart. It just can't leave me alone, haunting me everywhere, inside my head, in the eyes of my father, in my face, literally, in the slightest details of my life.

Then, comes a passing picture, that warm smile and those sad eyes, Barry Allen, what may cause all that sadness I saw in his looks?.. He looked like he carried all the sadness of the world in his chest. But he's still smiling.

Why Am I thinking about him? Or the question should be, why couldn't I stop thinking about him?

Well, of course that's a pretty normal thing considering I haven't interacted with others since the day I came back to CC.

I woke up to the sound of my alarm. Wonderful, I close my eyes for 5 minutes and it's already morning, I work for 2 hours and only two minutes pass, well , I know that time is relative, but not in this way. If my life keeps going like that, it would be a disaster.

However, Today is special, it's my first day at work, I should be excited, shouldn't I?

I put on a little black dress, said goodbye to Jarrod and left.

It feels kind of weird when you and your father start working in the same day.

I stopped by Jitters to grab a hot chocolate, and say hi to Ba- I mean to say hi to Iris. Right only to Iris.. There's no other reasons why I am here. Am I right?

"TIA" I heard Iris yelling for the third time

"Oh sorry I got lost in my thoughts" I apologized

"That's okay, Joe always tells me that geniuses are always mindless" She said

"I need a Very very Hot chocolate if you don't want me to lose my mind" I affirmed

"So you're one of those, 'Chocolate speaks to my soul' people" I heard a masculine voice saying

I turned around and without any warnings I bumped into the speaker's chest, how did he get too close?

"Oh my god, I'm sorry, I- I didn't mean to-" He said

Barry? YES THAT'S BARRY, He has that unique Jasmine scent.

I looked up at him, my neck started hurting, this guy is really tall. However, for some reason, I felt refreshed when I saw him..

"oh, that's you..." I said. "what's your name again?"

" Barry. Barry Allen" he responded looking disappointed.

I burst into laughter and replied "I was just kidding kiddo, do not make that face again, so what are you doing here?"

"I thought, maybe you-"He was about to say something when the man behind us hummed. We're interrupting the line.

"I think I am late, see you guys later"I said as I left running

"But-..Your hot chocolate." That was the last thing I heard Iris saying before I got into my car heading to S.T.A.R.labs.

"Wonderful, miss Knight, you're late" I heard a man saying

"And who are you?" I asked

"Cisco Ramon" he answered offering me his hand.
