Iris' POV:

Nora: (crying) Mommy... mommy... mommy kissed the bad man that hurt grandpa Henry.

I put my hand over my mouth in complete shock at what I just heard Nora say. Tears are streaming down my face. She turns around and sees me standing in her doorway. She runs out the room right pass me and locks herself in one of the guest bathrooms. Before I go to her I go downstairs grab my phone and call Barry.

Barry: Hey Iris.

Iris: (crying) Barry I need you to come home now.

Barry: (concerned) What's wrong, are you guy's okay?

Iris: (crying) Babe please just come home.

Barry: (concerned) I'm on my way.

After talking to Barry I go upstairs to the bathroom Nora's locked herself in.

Iris: Nora?

Nora: (yelling) GO AWAY!

Iris: Nora honey please come out so that I can talk to you.

Nora: (yelling) LEAVE ME ALONE. I HATE YOU. (crying) I WANT MY DADDY!

Iris: Your dad is on his way. Now will you please come out and talk to me?

Nora: (crying/yelling) NO. YOU DID A BAD THING WITH A BAD MAN!

Iris: Honey I know what you saw looked bad, but sweetie...

I don't know how to explain to my five year old that what she saw isn't what it looked like.  All she understands is that she saw her mommy's lips touch the lips of the man who hurt her grandpa. I decide to leave her be for now. I go back downstairs to wait for Barry, but S.T.A.R labs is about forty minutes away from our house. How the hell am I gonna tell him that Eddie not only kissed me, but he's also the man who killed his dad and threatened our daughter? I really wanna be someone else right now. I decided to call my parents over. They only live ten minutes away so they got here really quick and Nora was still locked in the bathroom.

Cecile: So why won't she come out of the bathroom?

Iris: She saw something that upset her and for good reason, but I'll explain all of that when Barry gets home.

Joe: I'll wait down here for Barry. Why don't you two try getting her out the bathroom again?

My mom and I go up to the bathroom.

Cecile: Nora sweetie. It's Mama Cecile. Can you...

My mom stopped talking because we heard Nora having a conversation with someone.

Nora's POV:
I locked myself in the bathroom because I don't wanna see mommy. I hate her. I want my daddy. Kyle came to sit with me so that I wouldn't be lonely in the bathroom.

Kyle: Nora you have been in this bathroom for a long time. Maybe you should talk to your mommy.

Nora: (sad) No I don't want to.

Kyle: Maybe your mommy didn't mean to kiss the bad man.

Nora: (sad) Yes she did.

Kyle: But you didn't even ask her so how do you know?

Nora: (sad) Because

Kyle: I think your mommy is sad.

Nora: (sad) Mommy's don't get sad.

Kyle: Your mommy is sad and I think she is sad because you won't talk to her.

Nora: (sad) Okay I will if you come with me.
