Caitlin's POV
I think Ronnie took me to the karaoke club as a fuck you to Barry. cus we walked in and Barry's sat at the bar. i look over and cisco is there to looking slightly further on Lisa is sat down to. alarm bells are going off in my head I see Barry pull his phone out his pocket he sends off a text message cisco turns around and sees me and Ronnie. he nods at Barry and Barry nods back. its almost as if they knew we would be here. they then get up onto the stage. Barry grabs one of the mics and cisco takes the other one unhooking off the stand.
(Barry)
Yeah, I hate the way, the way, I always miss you
Yeah, I know I'm crazy, but you're sick too
Even after everything we've been through
Thought I was the one with all the issues
And every time I leave, it's too long
And every time I leave, it's all wrong (You know)
I hate the way, the way, I always miss you (I hate the way, the way, I always miss you)
Yeah
(cisco)
Made a promise to myself, a promise I should stick to
Talking to myself, I said I promise I would quit you
I've been trying to let go but it's powerful it grips you
First you think you got control until I see you can't resist you
Know I got my issues, some I won't admit to
No one's got the answers, everybody wants to fix you
Got this magic 8 ball, but I ain't got no crystal
Just don't fall in Courtney Love, and don't go Cobain with no pistol
It don't take a psychic or a scientist to know that
And why the fuck the minute I see you, I always go back?
The definition of "insanity" is, yeah I know that
I had a hundred chances to move on I always, I always blow that
Yeah, I can't seem to find out what's the issue
See your face on my explore and then I miss you
Yeah, I said I was finished fucking with you
I said I hate the fucking way I always, miss you (Miss you)
(barry)
Yeah, I know I'm crazy but you're sick too
Even after everything we've been through
Thought I was the one with all the issues
And every time I leave, it's too long
And every time I leave, it's all wrong
I hate the way, the way, I always miss you (I hate the way, the way, I always miss you)
(cisco)
Lie to myself every time I say that I'm done with you
Every day without you passes slower than one with you
Two days passed, this feelin' like a week, this shit is stressful
I swear all these helping hands ain't even helpful
Wishing I was closer to you, wish you wasn't distant
Wishing I was with you still, wish this shit was different
Wishing we could travel back in time and we can switch it
All this pain, wishing it was something that could fix it
Medicate myself different substances I mix it
Set my limit, try to draw the line and then she sniffs it
Never lied, I give you my word and then you twist it
Fights outside the club I think the paparazzi, think the paparazzi flicked it
Still can't seem to find out what's the issue
Hate the way you talking when you with your friends too
They don't know about the shit we've been through
I said I hate the fucking way I always, miss you (Miss you)
(Barry)
Yeah, I know I'm crazy but you're sick too
Even after everything we've been through
Thought I was the one with all the issues
And every time I leave, it's too long
And every time I leave, it's all wrong
I hate the way, the way, I always miss you (I hate the way, the way, I always miss you)
I hate the way, the way, I always miss you
(I hate the way, the way, I always miss you)
I hate the way, the way, I always miss you
I can see Barry is looking me dead in the eye when he's singing. I wish I could just reach over and say I love you. i turn to Ronnie and whisper in his ear that me and him are over. he gets off slamming the chair into the table and he leaves. cisco and Barry jump off the stage and my phone vibrates. its a text from Lisa.
Lisa- so Barry was aiming that at you wasn't he
Caitlin- yeah let me guess cisco at you
Lisa- yep. I'm guessing by the way that guy just left the bar he's now your ex
Caitlin- um yep.
Lisa- wanna show them we wanna get back with them
Caitlin- god yes.
Lisa- well you fancy being halsey for a cover
Caitlin- sure
me and lisa both get out our seats and get on the stage. I look and see cisco and Barry sat at the bar. i can tell by the looks on there faces that there expecting a ultimatum.
(lisa)
Hey, I was doing just fine before I met you
I drink too much and that's an issue
But I'm OK
Hey, you tell your friends it was nice to meet them
But I hope I never see them
Again
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no calls
Now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop
So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
(caitlin)
You look as good as the day I met you
I forget just why I left you,
I was insane
Stay and play that Blink-182 song
That we beat to death in Tucson
OK
I know it breaks your heart
Moved to the city in a broke-down car
And four years, no call
Now I'm looking pretty in a hotel bar
And I, I, I, I, I can't stop
No, I, I, I, I, I can't stop
(both)
So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
(lisa)
So, baby, pull me closer
In the back seat of your Rover
That I know you can't afford
Bite that tattoo on your shoulder
Pull the sheets right off the corner
Of that mattress that you stole
From your roommate back in Boulder
We ain't ever getting older
(both)
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
We ain't ever getting older
No, we ain't ever getting older
they both looked stunned sat down at the bar. I can tell Barry is formulating a plan in his head. he whispers something in Cisco's ear and he nods his head. they both get back up and head on stage.
(both)

(cisco)
Yeah, history in the making
Part two, it's so crazy right now
(Barry)
I look and stare so deep in your eyes
I touch on you more and more every time
When you leave, I'm begging you not to go
Call your name two, three times in a row
Such a funny thing for me to try to explain
How I'm feeling and my pride is the one to blame
'Cause I know I don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else canGot me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (your love)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch
Got me looking so crazy right now (your touch)
Got me hoping you'll page me right now, your kiss

Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no
Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, noWhen I talk to my friends so quietly
Who he think he is? Look at what you did to me
Tennis shoes, don't even need to buy a new dress
If you ain't there, ain't nobody else to impress
It's the way that you know what I thought I knew
It's the beat that my heart skips when I'm with you
But I still don't understand
Just how your love can do what no one else can
(both)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your love's
Got me looking so crazy right now (oh, crazy)
Got me looking so crazy right now, your touch (your love)

Young 'Hov, y'all know when the flow is loco
Young B and the R-O-C, uh oh (oh)
Ol' G, big homey, the one and only
Stick bony, but the pocket is fat like Tony Soprano (oh no)
The ROC handle like Van Axel
I shake phonies, man, you can't get next to
The genuine article, I do not sing though
I sling though, if anything, I bling yo
A star like Ringo, war like a Green Beret
Crazy bring ya whole set
Jay Z in the range, crazy and deranged
They can't figure him out, they like, "Hey, is he insane?"
Yessir, I'm cut from a different cloth
My texture is the best fur, chinchilla
(Uh oh, uh oh, uh oh, oh, no, no) I been iller than chain smokers
How you think I got the name Hova?

(barry)
Got me looking so crazy, my baby
I'm not myself, lately I'm foolish, I don't do this
I've been playing myself, baby, I don't care
'Cause your love's got the best of me
And, baby, you're making a fool of me
You got me sprung and I don't care who sees
'Cause, baby, you got me, you got me so crazy, baby

that's something I didn't think I would need Barry and cisco singing crazy in love. Lisa whispers in my ear "I've got no ideas now Caitlin" I smile at her and say "leave this to me" I get up and hop onto the stage. Lisa pulls Cisco out the bar and Barry just looks frustrated at her.
I was distracted
And in traffic
I didn't feel it
When the earthquake happened
But it really got me thinkin'
Were you out drinkin'?
Were you in the living room
Chillin' watchin' television?
It's been a year now
Think I've figured out how
How to let you go and let communication die outI know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fineBut if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling and I'd hold you tight
And there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
Right?
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
Right?I tried to imagine
Your reaction
It didn't scare me when the earthquake happened
But it really got me thinkin'
That night we went drinkin'
Stumbled in the house
And didn't make it past the kitchen
Ah, it's been a year now
Think I've figured out how
How to think about you without it rippin' my heart outI know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fineBut if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling while I'd hold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over, right?I know, you know, we know
You weren't down for forever and it's fine
I know, you know, we know
We weren't meant for each other and it's fineBut if the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over and you'd stay the night
Would you love me for the hell of it?
All our fears would be irrelevant
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
The sky'd be falling while I hold you tight
No, there wouldn't be a reason why
We would even have to say goodbye
If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
You'd come over, you'd come over, you'd come over, right?If the world was ending
You'd come over, right?
I finish the song and look over at Barry. he smiles at me and my phone vibrates. its a text from Lisa I open my phone and then cisco sends me a text there both encouraging me to just talk to Barry. he gets up on to the stage and grabs the microphone.
I should hang up the phone, you said, "Maybe don't."
And I think I should go, you said, "Maybe don't."
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but—"
We should never speak again
Because I like you
And lately it's been only getting worse
So we should never speak again
Because I want to
I've run through every outcome and in every one I'm hurt
Oh, I hate surprises
But you surprise me
I should hang up the phone, you said, "Maybe don't."
And I think I should go, you said, "Maybe don't."
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't."
I'm not saying I'm wrong but you may be right
I don't know how to fall asleep unless you say goodnight
Said, "I run from the things that I want the most."
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't."
I'm hoping I could get a word
With your expectations
'Cause they don't seem to be based on you and me
You been making group decisions about us without us
Tell me what I'm gonna say and let me edit
I think it could be different if you let it
I should hang up the phone, you said, "Maybe don't."
And I think I should go, you said, "Maybe don't."
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't."
I'm not saying I'm wrong, but you may be right
I don't know how to fall asleep unless you say goodnight
Yeah, I run from the things that I want the most
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't."
Maybe don't
Maybe don't, yeah
I run from the things that I want the most
And I get that's what you do but—
This is just a heads up
I mess people's heads up
Only 'cause I'm scared of losing mine
If you could be less honest
Tick a couple less boxes
I could sabotage this and still be justified
I should hang up the phone, you said, "Maybe don't."
I should always be alone, you said, "Maybe don't."
'Cause I run from the things that I want the most
I said, "I guess that's what I (you) do, but the more I think it through
I'm not saying that I'm wrong, but you may be right
And I'm running out of reasons to push you aside
Yeah, I run from the things that I want the most."
You said, "I get that's what you do, but maybe don't."
I pull my phone out my pocket and text Barry.
Caitlin- meet me outside if you wanna talk
Barry- uh sure
writers note
so it was while I was writing this part that I realised this drama has gone on for a whole ten parts ish now. I mean its technically 8 if you count the two switches in narrative slightly. but snowbarry might finally be back together and cisco got back with Lisa
