Finding my Voice ( The Flash Fanfic)

Chapter 4- Not Dead but I Saw a Ghost of My Past

I felt a swift motion and opened my eyes to see I was in Barry's arm. I stifled a scream before all of it escaped my lips. I felt Barry's arms wrap around me and I hugged him tightly afraid this wasn't real. Am I dead? No I can't be Barry is here. "Karsyn are you alright," he asked. "D-did you save me," I stammered looking up at him. He shook his head slightly. "Are you sure," I asked. He nodded. We awkwardly stepped apart. I looked back over my shoulder and stopped seeing the back of Barry's Flash suit. I turned all the way around to face it as it sped off.

"Karsyn," Barry asked. I looked at him and back then turned to face the direction we were originally walking. "Is everything alright," he asked. I nodded and kept walking. "Just thought I saw someone," I said. I blinked and saw the image of the tombstone every time. Only one ended in st ..... 2014 and the time I blinked after ends in ober.... 2014. Time just changed. I shouldn't be alive should I?

We sat in the diner and I looked at the menu. "Again are you alright," He asked. I nodded and sat awkwardly. We were in my family restaurant. Iris walked over in uniform and I dropped the menu asking, "Oh my god you work here?" "Yeah," she said laughing. "Iris I own the restaurant slash cafe," I said. Iris' jaw dropped as did Barry's. "You're Dakota's sister," Iris asked. "You meant that Dakota," Barry asked. We all started laughing. "Lived here my whole life and I never knew," Iris said. I chuckled nodding.

"So what do you guys wanna eat," she asked. "Cheese burger fries and a vanilla shake," I said. "There are no milkshakes," Iris said. "Since when," I asked. "Since a month ago," she answered. "I'm still paying for a blender and supplies," I said. "Might wanna have a chat with the chef," Barry said. "Tell Jenny to start using the blender again," I said laughing lightly. "Will do," Iris said, "and Barry?" "Same as her only with a Coke," Barry said. "Alright I'll be back in a bit," Iris said. I smiled and looked back at Barry then out the window.

I glanced back at Barry and he was smiling schemeishly. "What," I asked. "Will you be my date," He asked. I raised an eyebrow hoping my cheeks don't flush. "Sorry did I hear you correctly," I asked. "A friend of mine Oliver Queen invited me to his family's End of Summer party and I need a date," He said. I realized he was talking about Oliver Queen from Starling city. "You're friends with the cast away, playboy, millionaire," I asked. "Yup," he said. "And you want me to accompany you to the Queen End of summer bash that's like the talk of the century," I asked. "I remember you saying something about wanting go again like when you were little," he said. "My dad and Moira used to work together," I said. "So will you go," He asked. I looked at him hesitantly. "You don't have an option really I'm taking you dress shopping after my shift," Iris said with the food. I groaned but smiled.

As I started eating I smiled at Barry and looked down at my burger. He was cute the way his eyes crinkled in the corner when he smiled, how his forehead wrinkled up as he rose his eyebrows, and lively flicker in his eyes. This adorable little nerd is amazing in just about every way. Iris is a lucky girl. Ober flashed through my head. October.... I've got a month to live. Might as well agree to go. I finished my food and left with Iris.

"You like him," she said soon as we were out of his hearing range. I smiled at my feet as I kicked a pebble along the street. "It's kinda hard not to," I said. "How so," Iris asked though she probably knew the answer. "Well he's a sweet, fun-loving, adorable, rambling nerd who has no idea how great he is because he's so busy admiring everyone else," I said kinda quietly as my cheeks flushed. "Will you please tell him because he refuses to believe me," Iris said.

We walked into a store and Iris took me around looking at dresses. "You know what would look amazing on you," She said. I raised an eyebrow as she held out a red dress. The top was silky, strapless, covered with red floral lace that had a high lace collar and the sleeves were in a cut off style only it was neat. There was a red cotton belt stitched in the middle and satiny silk red fabric flowed down. I went and tried it on and it fit perfectly. The bottom flowed to my knees and I walked out to show Iris.
