Him

Chapter 13: Getting Colder or Close

Cait's POV
I couldn't sleep last night, so I had been awake all night staring at the ceiling thinking about what happened last night. What was I going to say to Lucy? She couldn't tell mom and all mom knew was that I had taken Lucy with some friends for the day and we stayed there till midnight. She was pretty angry that I hadn't told her, but I couldn't tell her the truth, she could be in danger just by telling her.

It was already at 10 am so I decide to get up and get ready at least for the day. I headed downstairs where lucy was waiting for me with a bowl of cereal.

"Okay, I need to know everything. I know you didn't tell Mom about yesterday, so explain to me why where you kidnapped and who is Barry?" Says Lucy.

"Don't worry about it. It won't happen again. I promise. All you need to know about Barry is that you don't speak to him again because he's very dangerous."

"He didn't seem very dangerous last night when he saved you."

"That's because it was his fault. So trust me when I say he's dangerous if you ever see him again just walk away, okay?"

"Okay," she says and leaves the kitchen. I sigh in relief and eat some cereal. Just one free day without Barry and then I see him on Monday again. Great.

I had relaxed for an hour on the couch until I got bored and called Felicity to come to my house. We talked for one hour straight about what happened.

"Are you okay, though?" She asks rubbing my shoulder.

"Yeah, I mean, it was scary as hell and I for sure thought I was gonna die if I didn't tell him anything. But then he..... he let me go, so I'm fine, I guess,"

"I can't believe no one called me. I mean Barry, Oliver or Jackson should have called me."

"I guess they didn't want to put you in danger more than you already are," I say.

"I'm just glad nothing happened to you, so what now?"

"I don't know." I shrug my shoulders. "I just want to stay away from Barry as far as I possibly can," I say. But I can't, I thought to myself.

"That's a good plan, for both of us," she says. We stayed in the living room watching Netflix and eating lots of junk food. As it was getting close to being 5 in the afternoon, Felicity had left and I received an unknown call.

"Hello?"

"You will be calling this number for now on when you receive any information. Please say 'Yes, thank you' to end this voice message."

"Yes, thank you," I say. It was time. I had to do this. No turning back.

Barry's POV
It was Monday and I was ready to see Caitlin again. I was going to talk to her yesterday, but I felt like she needed a rest day. A rest day without me. Without my problems.

I walked into school towards my locker with the guys. I saw Caitlin at her locker as well with Felicity. Caitlin had her back facing me and Felicity was looking at me. She had told something to Caitlin. Then she slammed her locker shut and headed to her class. I guess she's not too happy with me. Understandable.

I walked into class and saw an open seat next to Caitlin. So I took it. As I sat down she glared at me.

"Felicity's sitting there," she says.

"Not anymore," I say.

"Fine," She says and started grabbing her backpack, but whittled interrupted her.

"Okay, class sit down now and take out your notebooks."

"Looks like your sitting here," I say pulling her down to sit. Felicity came and glared at me. She grabbed her things and went to sit next to Oli, the only seat left.

"How are you?" I say facing the board. She didn't answer. I turned towards her and asked again.

"Fine." She says.

"Hmmm, well thanks for asking too," she turned to me and smiled

"How are you? Are you fine? Did someone kidnap you, too?" She whispered and then she glared at me again. Then she returned her attention towards the board.

"Well no, but if I do I'll call you and tell you how I'm doing," I say smirking. She sat there still facing the board with no expression on her face. Great. The class continued and she was still in the same position. This wasn't good.

"I'm sorry, Okay," I whispered to her. "But in my defense, it wasn't me who involved you. You two meddled into my business. It wasn't in my plans for you to come into my world. You brought that upon yourselves."

"Well, I'm sorry for meddling into your life. Could've warned me when I was getting to know you."

"You could've warned me that you meddle into others business,"

"Your apologies suck. You know that?" I snickered.

"Yeah, I can see that now." I smile and so does she. "At least I got you smiling."

"At least." She says. "Might be the only thing you'll be getting for now. One smile." She says.

"You two pay attention," Whittle says.

"Yes, sir," I say smirking. "However, it was Caitlin who keeps asking for help. Maybe I could tutor her," I say.

"Is that true Miss Snow?"

"Yes, it is. You see she isn't very good at math, she said it herself," I say and she glares at me.

"Alright, since you are doing very well, might as well," he says and returns to the board. "You can arrange a schedule after school."

"See you then," I say.

"You-"

"What? Handsome kind guy, thanks,"

"NO!"

"It's okay, don't be shy. You need all the help you can get, so I need you to know the basic stuff at least for me to help you. Now pay attention" I smirk. She glared and faces the board.
