Him

Chapter 6: The Party Part 2

Barry's POV
I walked over to Caitlin, who was putting her books away. "Hey, Caitlin, haven't talked to you in a while," I say smirking.

"Yeah," she says as if we had barely talked for the first time.

"So... I wanted to ask you if you were still going to the party?" I asked.

"I don't know, I'll think about it," She says smirking back. I felt my phone buzz in my pocket and without checking, I knew it was Angel telling me to hurry up.

"Don't think too hard," I say and leave to my car, but not before I heard Felicity ask, "I thought we were going to the party?" And I smiled. I walked to my car and the guys were standing there waiting for me.

"Let's go we need to get the booze!" Angel yells too loud and so Oli slaps him on the back of his head. "Oww! What was that for?"

"Thank you, Oli," I say chuckling. "I mean don't yell it out, just go tell the teachers, bro, maybe they'll come too!!" I say and now he knew why he got hit.

"Sorry, my bad," he now whispered.

"Let's go. Where's Scott?" I asked, but then he came out of the school with Iris.

"Hey, Scott! We got to go!" I yelled and they both looked our way. He said goodbye to Iris and came walking towards us. He gets in the car and I look at Iris. She smiles and waves. I shake my head and she walks towards me.

"Hey, Allen, what's new?"

"Nothing much. I mean not that it's your business anymore," I say and I smirk.

"Your right. But hey if you want someone else to, I don't know, dump a beverage on you, you can call me, oh wait, you already have someone for that," I bite my lip and look down and smile a little. "What's her name, Elsa, no wait Snow, yeah Caitlin Snow. Where'd you meet, it looked like you had something going on before that day," she says curiously.

"Like I said, None Of Your Business. Got to go, see you around, West," I say.

As I get in the car she yells, "See you later at the party!" And I wave as I'm reversing. Great, she's coming to the party.

"Scott, I advise you not to talk to Iris. She's very Crazy," I say.

"Really? She told me you were a thing and that you used to abuse her," he says scolding at me.

"See, she's already trying to manipulate you. Let me explain. Okay, we did date, on and off, but it didn't last long, she was too clingy. And when I started working for my dad, she was getting in the way. Asking what I was doing, where I was going. She was going to get me caught, so I told her we needed a break and from then on, she hasn't left me alone. She's been trying to get with me for a while now, but in this business, you can't have anyone that will get you caught and she will get you caught," I say and he nods.

"Okay, sorry for accusing you of something you didn't do," he says.

"Don't worry about it. Let's just get the beer and snacks," I say and everyone starts yelling let's party! 

A few hours later, we had grabbed the snacks and the booze, we were just trying to make a playlist with songs that everyone would enjoy and dance to. Then the doorbell rings. I walked to the kitchen to get a glass of water and Oli went to open the door. Few minutes passed and Oli had walked in the kitchen. "Hey, Barry, you might want to come to the front door," he says and from the looks on his face, it wasn't good.

"What is it?"  I asked curiously.

"It's .." he didn't even have to finish the sentence because he came into the room.

"Hello brother," Dylan says. He was my older brother. The leader of another gang, I should mention. He had left, when he turned eighteen. Which was three years ago, and was why my dad brought me into his work. Dylan had left because he wanted to be his own boss, he was tired of our father's orders, he couldn't take it anymore, so he left, but not alone he took some of my dad's guys as well.

"What are you doing here?" I asked annoyed.

"I thought I'd stop by," he says smirking.

"Why now? After three years!" I say outraged, tightening the glass of water I was holding.

"Little brother calm down. I just heard you were having a big party, so I wanted to come by," he says walking around the kitchen and grabbing a cup of booze.

"I'd had many parties before, so I'm gonna ask again, Why are you here?"

"Fine, you caught me. But first, I know you're mad at me about not coming to our parent's funeral, and I'm sorry about that, but I couldn't make it. There was something going on. I'm so sorry Barry, " He says.

"You didn't answer my question," I say not showing any emotions towards his comment.

"I'm here because I heard you're trying to catch the guy who murdered mom and dad," he says.

"Yeah, I am. Don't tell me you're gonna help me?" 

"I am and I will, I want to catch them, too. I know you might not believe me because you know that I hated dad, but they were my parents okay, I loved them both, as much as I hated dad, he didn't deserve to die nor mom, okay," he says and for the first time, I could see that he was broken in his eyes.

"I don't know if I believe you, but I need as much help as I can get," I say and he has a big wide smile on his face. Then out of nowhere, he hugs me tight. "Okay, get off."

"When does the party start?" he asks and then drinks his booze.

"In a bit," I say and a few people started coming in.

After thirty minutes the house was full of people. And I was waiting for Caitlin to come in. Dylan was, of course, flirting and making out with some girls. I was walking through the living room trying to see if Caitlin was here, but she wasn't. I guess she wasn't coming, I thought. I walked near the door and walked into the dining room. I sat down and took out my phone. I thought maybe, she needed some motivation to come. As I was about to text her, the door opened and there she was with Felicity. And might I say, They were both looking stunning as hell. I looked across the room at Dylan, who stopped making out with some seniors and was now looking at Cait. Oh no.
