"Where are we going Caitlin?"

"I told you that my friend is getting engaged. She lives far away and we don't speak much. But I'm not missing her engagement"

"So we're going there?"

"Yes. It'll be nice to see her, plus it'll take my mind off everything"

"By everything, I take it you mean Barry?"

"Yes"

"No luck?"

"I'm leaving it in the universes hands. If we are meant to be, we will be"


"Barry, it's time"

"I told you that I don't want to do this"

"Barry, you asked for time. I gave you it. But you came up with nothing. Now you have to listen to me"

"Fine. But if I find her before the ring is on her finger, I'm not doing it"

"Fine. But you had ages and you came up with nothing. I don't see how a few hours is going to make a difference"


Caitlin and Ronnie entered the venue 

"Hurry up. We're going to be late"

Caitlin ran and entered the hall. She quickly saw her friend and waved, but gasped as she saw the guy. It was Barry. Her Barry. She gasped and Barry quickly looked up. Their eyes met, as Caitlin shook her head and ran away. Barry got up just as the lights went out. He ran after her, but couldn't see anything in the dark. He bumped into someone just as the lights went back on

"Woah! Where's the fire?"

"Caitlin. Where's Caitlin Ronnie?"

"Barry, what are you doing here?"

"I'll explain later. Where's Caitlin?"

"Inside I guess"

"No. She ran out of there"

"Why? What happened?"

Barry ran away, looking for Caitlin. He had spent ages looking for her, he wasn't going to let her go again. Caitlin was running away, wiping her tears. What had she done? She heard a noise behind her, and looked back, and ran straight into someone's arms. She screamed and tried to get away

"It's okay. It's me"

Caitlin untangled herself from Barry's arms, and stomped away. Barry followed her

"Why are you here? Shouldn't you be in the hall with your bride? Everyone is going to be missing you"

"Caitlin"

Caitlin turned around and gasped. Barry was kneeling down in front of her, holding out a ring box

"Barry, what are you doing?"

"Yes or no?"

"Barry"

"Caitlin will you marry me?"

"But what about my friend?"

"I've told her everything. She knows that I don't love her. I'm sure that she'll be happy for us"

"Barry"

"Yes or no?"

"Yes, yes, yes. A million times yes"

Barry smiled as he got up and placed the ring on Caitlins finger. Caitlin hugged Barry. She couldn't believe that this was happening 


Caitlin woke up as her alarm buzzed. She sat up and yawned, shaking her head, trying to get rid of the past memories. What good would they do her? She ran to her uncles room, and pulled back the curtains 

"Caitlin, where's the fire?", he sleepily mumbled 

"Uncle, wake up. I've got the whole day planned for us. I want to make the most of the time we have left. You have five minutes to get up and ready. I'll be waiting downstairs"

After a quick breakfast, they were out of the door. Caitlin took her uncle around the town, and they had a wonderful day. Caitlin was upset, how many more days like this were left?

"Caitlin, thank you. That was the most fun I've had in ages. Such a wonderful day"

Caitlin sat down next to him

"Your very welcome. I just hope that we have lots more still left"

"Don't say that. I'm not going anywhere yet"

Caitlin kissed his hand

"I hope so"

Caitlin ran out of the house, before it got to much for her, and she started crying. She just wandered around and found herself outside Barry's house. She pressed the bell

"I need to talk to Ronnie"

Ronnie came running out, and together they went and sat down on the bench, opposite the ocean

"Ronnie, I don't think that he's got much time. He was really struggling today"

Ronnie squeezed Caitlins hand 

"I don't know how much time he has left. I don't know what I am going to do when he leaves me. I think that it will break me. Actually I don't think, I know"

Caitlin leaned into Ronnie and started crying 

"What am I going to do? Why is this all happening to me? What did I do to deserve this?"
