Life with the Flash

Birthday

It's been sixth months since my building exploded. Six months since the love of my life left me for no reason. But, I must put that behind me and think about my niece today. It's her fifth birthday and I don't know how I'm gonna tell her that Barry broke up with me and she might never see him again.

I was sitting on the bench by myself and everyone seemed to have got the memo that Barry wasn't coming. He was never coming. Except for one member of my family.

"Auntie auntie" my niece squealed pulling at the hem of my shirt.

"Yes munchkin?" I replied pulling her into my lap and hugging her tight.

"Where's Bawy?" She questioned looking around the room to see if he had come yet.

"He's not coming honey he has work stuff today" I said nearly balling my eyes out just thinking about him again.

"W-What but Bawy always comes to see m-me" she whimpered her lip quivering as she was about to start crying. I knew if she started crying I would too. And I didn't need that; not today at least.

"Hey hey it's ok what if you just spend the night this weekend and see him?!?"I said. Fuck fuck fuck!! Why did I say that?!?? I thought mentally hitting myself in the head.

"Ohhhhhhhhh ok!!!" She squealed running to her mom to tell her the good news.

At that moment I felt a gust of wind fly past me and a blur of red in the distance.

I shrugged it off and ran inside to the bathroom. I sat down in the empty bathtub and pulled up the camera on my phone. I opened the file I titled
For When You Need To Smile! I had made it when me and Barry first started dating. Is this all our relationship was. A few hundred pictures and a broken heart.

I scrolled through the pictures of Barry making stupid faces and stopped on the one with me and Barry kissing in-front of the Central City's annual Christmas tree. Ires had taken the picture and sent it to me afterwards.
FLASHBACK
I walked out of the bathroom looking at the picture of me and Barry kissing in front of that stupid Christmas tree.

I picked it up and rage and hurt overcame me as I threw it out the window of my apartment.
END OF FLASHBACK

I wiped away my tears as I went to Barry's name on my contact list. I almost deleted it several times, but either way I remembered his number.

I hit the call button and almost instantaneously Barry answered the phone.

"Y/n?"

"H-hey Barry I need to ask you a favor! A really big favor"

"Anything you need" he said so sincerely almost as if we were still dating.

"Well it's Mattie's birthday and she was so upset you weren't here so she asked if she could spend the night with us this weekend. So I kinda said yes. I'm so sorry Bar-"

"It's ok I will spend the night at your house this weekend don't worry about it" he said a slight chuckle ringing in his voice.

"Thank you so much. I'll see you then. Bye I lov-" I hung up before I could finish saying what I was saying. What it's a force of habit ok!

Time skip to that night.

I heard a loud knock on the door and I ran over slinging it open. "H-hey" I said motioning for him to come in. He stepped in shrugging off his jacket hanging it on the rack.

"So you can sleep in ou- I mean my bed and I'll sleep on the floor" I said almost slipping again.

"No way I'll just sleep on the couch it's fine" he insisted.

"No cause if Mattie gets up in the middle of the night she'll be confused. We've always shared a bed when she came over" I explained.

"Well then we can just share the bed" he said as if it was nothing.

"Umm not really"I said motioning for him to follow me to the bedroom.

I pointed to the twin size daybed in the corner of the room. "I got it after you..." I couldn't bring myself to say the last part.

Then there was another knock on the door pulling us out of our daze. I ran and opened the door.

"Bawy Bawy!!!" She practically screamed running and giving him a hug. My sister motioned for me to come out in the hallway I stepped out and shit the door behind me so they didn't hear.

"Ya?" I said as if everything was normal.

"I don't want to see you get your heart broken again! Remember what happened last time!" She whispered loudly.

FLASHBACK

"I have nothing left to live for" I yelled looking at my sister pressing the cold metal weapon against my temple.

"Y/n yes you do you have so much to live for!" She said worry enveloping her tone.

"No I really don't. I loved him so much. He is the only man I will ever love. And he left me. He FUCKING left me without a second thought without a reason. I can't even work at CCPD anymore because of him. I can't stand being around him. I just want to die" I screamed tears falling down my cheeks hitting the floor one by one.

Then a blur of red came into the room and the gun was gone.

I fell to the floor a heaping mess and my sister wrapped her arms around me holding me close to her.

END OF FLASHBACK

"I'm not gonna get my heart broken. Not again"
