Barry's POV

we're at star labs the next day and I'm sat alone with Ronnie. "so you and Caitlin care to explain" I roll my eyes fine we met 8 months after the particle accelerator explosion happened I helped her get over you  death and then we ended up dating for a year till she broke up with me I dated another girl till she left central city then me and Caitlin dated for a week and what you saw last night was the aftermath to that. Caitlin walks in shoots me the middle finger then she starts slapping Ronnie "oh yeah she does that to" I say "fuck off Barry" she yells. I leave the room. 

Caitlin's POV

once Barry's left the room I look into Ronnie's eyes. "I wasn't cheating on you with Barry. ok. I thought you where fucking dead Ronnie you can't judge me for that". he leans in and kisses me. i slap him again "Ronnie what the fuck you've literally just turned up after 2 years dam it"

Months later

Barry's POV
I guess I know how Caitlin felt. I fucked it up cus I was emotional about the whole her leaving me again but I still fucking loved her. But she's now happy in the arms of her dead then alive again ex fiancé or what ever the fuck you would call Ronnie. At what point do I say screw it and let things be the same.
It's that night when I'm walking down a street to a restaurant where me and Caitlin would go i look in and i see her and Ronnie. suddenly I find myself singing ed sheeran

Walking down 29th and Park
I saw you in another's arms
Only a month we've been apart
You look happier
Saw you walk inside a bar
He said somethin' to make you laugh
I saw that both your smiles were twice as wide as ours
Yeah, you look happier, you doAin't nobody hurt you like I hurt you
But ain't nobody love you like I do
Promise that I will not take it personal, baby
If you're movin' on with someone new'Cause baby you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
And until then I'll smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with youSat in the corner of the room
Everything's reminding me of you
Nursing an empty bottle
And telling myself you're happier, aren't you?
(Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah)Oh, ain't nobody hurt you like I hurt you (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
But ain't nobody need you like I do (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
I know that there's others that deserve you (hey, yeah, hey, yeah)
But my darlin', I am still in love with youBut I guess you look happier, you do
My friends told me one day I'll feel it too
I could try to smile to hide the truth
But I know I was happier with youHey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah
Hey, yeah, hey, yeah, hey, yeah'Cause baby, you look happier, you do
I knew one day you'd fall for someone new
But if he breaks your heart like lovers do
Just know that I'll be waitin' here for you
