Caitlin pov:

I sit down next to brooke on the couch.

"Can I stay here?" She asks.

"Sure I guess." I say, she smiles. "Are you okay."

"My dad forgot about my presentation." She says.

"Yeah I know," I say.

"What was he doing that was more important than my presentation?"

"He was at STAR Labs." I say, she rolls her eyes. "Okay you know what let's just forget about it and eat some ice cream." I suggest, Brooke smiles and nods. I get up and get the ice cream. "What flavour do you want?"

"What flavours do you have?"

"All of them, chocolate, vanilla, cookies and cream, coffee, vanilla bean, rainbow sherbet-"

"How much ice cream do you have?" She asks.

"A lot," I admit.

"I'll take vanilla bean." She says, I smile and grab the ice cream.

"Here," I hand her a spoon and set the ice cream in between us. She starts to eat the ice cream as do I.

"So when you said my dad was nice to everyone, you were lying to make me feel good right?" I freeze. "Just tell me the truth, I'm exactly my dad's biggest fan right now."

"Okay fine, your dad was nice to everyone except... this one girl." I say.

"It was you right?" Brooke asks.

"Why would you say that?" I say dodging her question.

"When I said Barry was my dad you got uncomfortable and left, when you found me at jitters you were uncomfortable, when .y dad woke up he froze upon seeing you almost like he had a flashback, also you told me what it felt like to be bullied."

"I-I," I start.

"Just tell me."

I look at the ground.

Brooke pov:

"Caitlin," she looks up tears in her eyes.

"I'm sorry," she whispers.

"No, you have nothing to be sorry for." I say, I give her a hug.

"I'm sorry, I'm sorry," she starts to cry as she repeats these words.

A/n: I'm super lazy so this is like 200 words short and I really didn't want to write this like at all.
