Nothing's Easy.

I caught up to Cisco, who was waiting at the his car. "I'll drive or we'll just meet there?"
"Usual place?"
"Yeah sure."
I felt like Oliver hit me with one hundred taser arrows. I wanted to kiss Caitlin I really did, my heart was pounding, I felt everything just light up inside me. But then I see Iris in my brain, and my brain said stop.
You love Iris too.
I started to walk, Caitlin? Iris? Caitlin? I started running. Iris? Caitlin? Iris? Sprinting. Caitlin? The whole world became a blur. I couldn't stop--choose. Stop it!
My heart was in conflict, with two women I love. My teammate, who takes care of me and never abandons me. My crush, who I love basically since I knew the damn meaning of love. Every time Iris gets close to me, my heart beats twice as fast but I have to pretend that it's normal.
With Caitlin, I can be myself, The Flash and Barry Allen. Caitlin I think understands, me more than anyone in the world. I don't have to pretend, but until today, I never saw how beautiful she really is, and how I take her for granted.
I picked up my phone, "Dude! Where are you!" I stopped, and I realized I was in Starling City.
"Starling."
Wh-Why-Why are you in Starling?"
"I got carried away. It was quick. I'm sorry. I'll be there in five."
I ran fast, back to Central City, to the bar that the three of us usually go to. I walked in still jittery hating, doubting myself if that decision, leaving Caitlin like that, was good for me.
"Dude!" Cisco yelled, he waved his arm to come. "Barry, are you okay?"
"Yeah."
"No you're not, you don't stop running when something's on your mind." Cisco said.
Damn it.
"Barry Spill, you know I can find out things even if you don't tell me." He started guessing. "Iris?"
I nodded no.
"Joe?"
No
"Eddie?"
No
"Wally?"
"No of course not, Wally's fine. Oliver's is teaching me how to become a better teacher, but he has to become less cryptic though."
"Then what is it? Caitlin?"
My hand vibrated the cup so fast that it broke.
"Caitlin, then. I told you, months ago, Barry that Caitlin is off Limits." He warned "remember Patty Spivot? You told her who you really were and she didn't accept."
"I remember, Cisco." I raised my voice. "And she died because of it."
"You blamed yourself for months." He drank from his cup, "you can't do this to yourself and Caitlin."
He took another sip, as I said, "I almost kissed her though."
Cisco spit out his beer. "What! You're like a freaking Five year old you know that! The more restrictions I put, the more you want it!"
"I'm sorry!"
"Tell me this, was it a heat of the moment thing, or you really want Ronnie to set your balls on fire, because your in love with her."
I looked at him and lied "it was the heat of the moment." But my heart was growing towards the fact that I was actually falling for Caitlin Snow. It was like every fiber of my being was at war with each other, my brain, telling me not to kiss her but I leaned in so close that I could hear her heart beating and she could hear mine.
"Okay do you know where she is?"
"I don't know when she is. I left her at STAR Labs."
"You LEFT her there, alone?" Cisco slapped me face "you idiot!"
My phone rang instantly. "Joe."
"Eddie's gone!" Joe yelled at the phone "Weather Wizard has him."
"I'll be right there."
Cisco looked at me cluelessly "Weather Wizard." I said to him. I grabbed Cisco and ran out the bar.
I was about to run but Cisco caught my hand "you have to talk to Caitlin."
I nodded quickly. I sped out of the bar and went toward STAR Labs.
Caitlin wasn't there. I quickly changed, "Cisco!" I said in the communicator "can you pin point Eddie's Phone?"
"Yeah. Did you talk to her?"
"She wasn't there."
"His phone was last used on Westfield and Concord, there's a apartment building there. The Sixth Floor. I can't trace which exact apartment it was in but it's a start."
I stopped the complex and saw the sixth floor. "Cisco we transported Weather Wizard to Belle Reve and he was there for two years right?"
"Your a genius." Cisco said "thank god Felicity upgraded my phone. There's a foreclosed 6E go!" I sped toward 6E and kicked down the door. Eddie was surprised to see so soon. All the sudden he was shaking his head and moaning "No No No!" I ignored him, and untied the duct tape from his legs and hands and Finally his mouth, "THERE A BOMB YOU IDIOT!" Then I heard ticking and the clown from the box popped up
"Shit." I grabbed Eddie and ran toward the street and saw the whole sixth floor go "KA-BOOM"
"Thank god there was no people in there." Cisco said
"You sure?"
"Yeah the Heat signatures say that you and Eddie were the only only people there before the floor exploded."
"That's good."
"Eddie!" Iris was behind us and ran toward him and kissed him. "Thank you... Flash."
"Ms. West. Mr. Thawne." I said awkwardly. I started to back up and ran toward STAR Labs. After I changed.
I ran toward the alleyway and changed and walked out as Barry Allen. "Joe!"
"Bar." He walked to me
"The crime scene was clean."
"I know, it was too easy."
