Running From Me /Complete

"Dawn!" Both said out loud at the same time. Good, I must have caught them by surprise.

"What are you doing here?" Caitlin asked as she looks between me and Cisco.

"Oh, I just stop by to give you guys some coffee. Taught you guys needed some since you are working so hard helping Barry and all."

"Ah what a wonderful gift," Cisco said and took a cup as he sat down in his chair and place his feet on the desk. Caitlin shot him a look as I lean against the desk. "What? Don't give me that look. Its not like its my fault."

"Cisco!" Caitlin said.

"Oh come on Caitlin, isn't it obvious. Dawn knows Barry's secret otherwise why else would she be here. Am I right Dawn?" Cisco asked as they both look at me and I nod with a smile.

"Way to state the obvious Cisco." Caitlin shot at him and grab the cup and sat down in her chair sipping on it. But someone was missing.

"Where's Harrison?"

"Oh right, with you not being here for a while you miss the big fiasco," Cisco said as I have him a small smile. "We found out Harrison wasn't Harrison at all he was Eobard Thawne. And now we can't find him anywhere"

"So you guys are running this place," I asked as Cisco smiled and nid his head.

"For the time being," Caitlin said as I nod but before another word could be spoken a voice cane over the computer.

"Hello, is anyone there?"

"Barry?" I asked as Caitlin and Cisco look at me shocked.

"Dawn is that you. What are you doing there?"

"I could ask you the same damn questions, Barry. I can't believe after you barely told me that I was a bad friend for not telling you the truth you have been hiding this from me for more than three months now!" I practically yield over the computer.

"Can we talk about this later when I'm not trying to stop a bank robbery."

"Whatever," I said and head to the door about to head out but Caitlin stops me.

"If you want someplace to go and clear your head just go down the hall hallway to your right and walk straight, you should find it." She said and gave me a small smile as I return it before heading as she told me to. I soon arrived in a large room that had a big metal door in the front and a rail walk leading to it.

I sat on the end of the room with one leg onto the platform as my other leg dangle off the platform as I lean my head against the wall. So much has happen to me this year and a half now. It seems like only yesterday I have got here in this amazing town, met amazing new people and might have even found the guy for me. And in just a matter of seconds, everything came crashing down.

I felt as if someone was watching me as I open my eyes and look towards the door only to find Barry dressed in blue jeans and a black shirt with his favorite white sneakers. He had his hands stuff in his front jeans pockets as he leans against the door frame looking at me.

"Hi." He said as I rolled my eyes and twirl my hair between my fingers as I look towards the big door, not wanting to make eye contact with him. "Listen I know I might be the last person you want to speak to, but at least hear me out."

"Well, doesn't that exact same line sound so damn familiar. Oh, wait that's right, that's exactly what I said to you before you threw our friendship promise in my face!" I said looking at him as he looks down at the ground with a sad look on his face. "But you know what, unlike you, I'm gonna act differently and I'm gonna hear you out because that's what friends do. They listen to each other and don't just go around blaming one another. So let me hear it."

"Okay, I'm sorry, okay! I should have acted the way I did yesterday. I was stupid and I let my emotion get the hand first. I didn't think okay."

"Your right you didn't."

"Listen, Dawn, I know we had our ups and downs these couple of months but I got to get this off my chest. The only reason why I didn't tell you about my secret was that I was trying to protect you." He said and move towards me. "I was trying to keep you safe and out of harm's way. I didn't want you to get mixed up in my drama of being a hero and my enemies going after the people I love and care for. I was afraid if I told you I might have lost you forever and I couldn't bate with that feeling."

"Barry I know what you mean, but I can take care of myself."

"Like you took care of yourself the other night. When Mark got to you." He said as I look up at him. He took a seat next to me as I let my other leg fall over the ledge as he plays with his hands in his lap. "I was I wouldn't get there in time to save you. I was afraid he was going to hurt you and..."

"Barry. Hey, look at me." I said and move forward placing my hand on his cheek as he lifts his head and looks at me with those amazing brown eyes. "I'm okay, you did save me and for that I thank you, but there is one small detail I would like to clear up."

"Anything, from now on I will tell you anything you need to know."

"What did you want to say to me on the roof the other night. You know before you were cut off and run off the building?" I asked as I let my hand fall from his cheek and look at my hands laying on my lap.

"Oh yeah, that. I did tell you we have unfinished business, well um.. Okay, this is going to be der than I taught it would be." He said as I look up at him and saw his hand move behind his neck. "Okay umm. You see the things are."

"Yeah, go on."

"Um since I kind of saw you I taught you were the most beautiful girl I have ever seen. Then when we began working together well the feeling just grew and I couldn't stop it. So I kind of got feelings for you and really strong one and that's what I wanted to tell you the night on the roof." I smiled as he looks at me and chuckled before shaking his head. "It's stupid I know."

"No, I think it's romantic. I mean I never had a guy who fought a bad guy for me. If that makes you feel better." I said and move closer to Jim so I can lean my head in his shoulder. He chuckled as he grabs my hand and place it in his lap and let out a sign.

"You are taking this better than I hoped."

"You prefer me going off on you and causing us to fight again?"

"Nope, I like things just how it is now." He said as I smiled and close my eyes. Before I could drift off into sleep Cisco voice filled my ears.

"Barry, Dawn you guys..... Oh my.. I'm sorry am I interrupting something." He said as I open my eyes and saw him standing in the doorway shocked. "I'm just going to imagine I didn't see this, um well you two should get to the lab. Got a meta loose in the city."
