Drapetomania

Drapetomania (n.) The sudden urge to run away

Barry's pov:

I sigh checking the time, of course she's late like an hour past curfew. I tap my foot impatiently as I glance from the door to the clock. Suddenly the front door swings open.

"There you are, where were you?" I ask standing up, she rolls her eyes.

"I was at school." She says, she begins to walk away.

"Brooke Allen, come back here right now!" I yell, she turns around. "Why are you late, I have to be at work right now."

"Then just go to work." She says.

"Brooke, I need to make sure your safe okay." She rolls her eyes. "I'm not mad." I whisper, she nods but doesn't look me in the eye. "How was your day?"

"Fine," she mumbles.

"Can you please talk to me." I say.

"I fine dad!" She yells.

"Brooke, what happened?" I ask, she rolls her eyes. I feels my hand ball into a fist. "Tell me what happened right now." I say angrily.

"Nothing happened I'm fine!" She yells.

"Brooke-"

"Shut up!" She screams.

"Go to your room!" I yell, she doesn't move. "Go to you room." I scream, she steps backwards before running up to her room. I take a deep breath, I've never yelled at her like that.

Brooke pov:

I run to my room and slam the door. Tears fill my eyes to the brim. My dad has never yelled at me like that. I grab some clothes and shove them into my backpack. I open my door quietly and sneak down the stairs. I open the front door and close it before I run down the street. I make it to the nearest bus station, and sit down waiting for the bus.

Barry pov:

I feel bad for yelling at Brooke. I walk to her room and knock on the door lightly.

"Brooke, sweetie can I come in?" I ask, there's no response, only then do I realize the door is open slightly. "She ran away." I mumble, I sigh before heading to my car and driving to work.

I listen to music as I drive and think about all the places Brooke could've gone. I'm not that worried because I know she can take care of herself and this is the forth time this month that she has run away. I pull up to CCPD and walk as fast as I can to my lab.

"Allen, I needed these lab tests yesterday." Captain Singh says.

"I know, I know my daughter had a presentation at school, I'm sorry." I say.

"Just get it done." He says handing me a stack of papers. I roll my eyes as he walks away. I flip through what Singh gave me and start working.

Brooke pov:

I get off the bus and walk down the street to my destination, a place where I'm never yelled at ever. I knock on the door.

"Who is it?"

"Its brooke," I say, the door opens. "Hey Joe," I say, he nods. I step into the house and put my stuff down on the couch.

"How long will you be staying?" Joe asks, I shrug. "Okay well I guess uh... Wally will drive you to school." Joe says as Wally enters to room.

"I will?" Wally asks, Joe gives him a look. "I mean I will." Wally says, I give him a hug.

"Where's Iris?" I ask.

"She's at jitters working." Joe says, I nod.

"Wanna see something cool?" Wally whispers in my ear. I nod, Wally always has the best adventures and stuff. "Come one," he takes me by the arm and drags me back outside. This is going to be epic.

Barry's pov:

I see the particle accelerator explode and then everything goes black.

A/n: I got lazy towards the end. Sorry I kept switching the point of view. And shout out to (iwywswiftie) for the cover.
