The future is different

Words from a wise man

Barry pov:
Calvin left the speed lab to join the rest with whatever they're doing , I sat in the lab for a couple of minutes and thought of what Calvin told me , he was right I need to get my head straight and think about it , I look at my finger where my ring was I sighed and got up and took that walk

For once in my life I slowed down and took that walk , I walked around central city thinking about what my son told me , after awhile I looked at my watch and noticed I've been walking around for over an hour already weird it felt like a minute I guess time really slowed down when you just let go

I went back to the park cause I need abit of light again I sat on a bench and across me was this elderly couple , I looked at them happy seeing and hoping that maybe I could be like that with the love of my life , out of curiosity I went over to them

"Hi sorry I don't mean to intrude but how long have you guys been married?"- Barry

"70 beautiful years "- the man

"How about you ? How long have you been married young man? "- he says pointing at my ring

"Couple months I'm divorcing her actually "-Barry

"Do you love this wife of yours?"-The man

"Yeah but not like the husband and wife feeling , I fell in love with another person and she's amazing but I'm afraid that I'll loose my friendship with my wife "-Barry

"Maybe that's why you still have your ring , your scared , scared cause this wife of yours must have done some things to you that your afraid you'll loose her , but listen here son life is short why waste it , you gotta take that leap of faith cause you never what you could achieve when you do trust me is worth it "- The man

"Your right thank you "- I say , I then went to iris apartment I know what I wanted to do and what I wanted in my life I knocked on her door and she opened it smiling

"I knew it you'd come back to me "- she says hugging me I didn't hug her back

"Iris I love you ... as a sister and I'm really really sorry , but please I can't be married to you anymore I can't and I'm not just saying this because of my kids but I'm saying this cause I love Caitlin and a wise man told me to take a leap of faith and that's what I'm doing right now so please just sign this papers please "- I begged her

"Fine but what can I do anyways this is what you then fine "- she says , she went and grab a pen and signed the papers , I thanked her and I went over to my lawyer , he says he would just finalise it and will text me when it's done and I'm officially a free man , I took my wedding ring out and went to the bridge , after a couple or moments I threw it in the water , I had to let that part of my life go and start a new chapter of my life with the one I love the most

I decide not to tell Caitlin yet until the divorce was officially final , I then got a call from Cisco there was a robbery at the bank I sped to Star labs to grab my suit and flashed to the bank , I quickly tied the robbers up and let the police take it from there , I then went back to Star labs , Oliver and Mon el was still there

"Ladies not back yet?"- Barry

"Nope so me and Mon el were thinking since your heartbroken let's go to the bar "- Oliver

"Oliver the kids I can't .."- Barry

"The kids are 20+ year olds they can take care of themselves and they will call when they need help "-Mon el

"Sweet a guys night "-Cisco

"Okay fine but note I can't get drunk "- Barry

"We know let's go "- mon el says and we were out of the door and on the way to the bar , maybe a guys night is what I need , when we got to the bar  Cisco started a tab and got  us some shots and the three of them drank it all
