Iris and Eddie were having dinner with Eddie's parents.

Eddie's mom was taking about her garden. "I've been watching the flowers very carefully do what happened last year doesn't happen again. Do you like to garden Iris?"

But Iris wasn't paying attention. She was somewhere else.

"Iris, Iris my mom asked you a question. "Said Eddie.

"Oh, I'm sorry."

"It's okay, I know gardening is not the most exciting of topics. But are you okay dear?

"Yeah I just need a minute. Excuse me." Iris got up taking her phone. Eddie smiled at his parents but it seen force. After a few minutes too long Eddie got up to check on Iris.

He found her pacing outside looking at her phone.

"Everything okay Iris?"

"Yeah, it's fine."

"Are you sure, you seemed a little distracted at dinner. And then you excuse yourself to the bathroom but I find you pacing outside."

She sights. "I'm just worried about Barry. I called him but he hasn't called me back."

Eddie had to try very hard not to roll his eyes.

"Of course it's Barry, is always Barry." He said in a low tone but she still heard him.

"What's that supposed to mean."

"Iris we are having dinner with my parents. Do you know how hard is to get time with my dad? But all you can think about is Barry." He said trying not to yell.

Guilt hit her hard because he was right. All she thought of lately was Barry

"I'm sorry you're right. Let's go back to the table. Your parents must be getting worry."

"I'm sorry I took so long." said Iris once back at the table.

"So dad, how's the new campaign going?"

Eddie's dad starting in a long rant about experience should trump millennials childish ideals.

Eddie once again noticed Iris looking at her phone, a wave of annoyance hit him.

"Iris."

"Sorry."

"Are you waiting for someone to call." Asked Eddie's mom.

"I'm just thinking about my best friend. I unloaded to him today about my new job and as always he was there ready to pick me up. Even cleaning up his schedule to help with my article."

"Aww that's so sweet. Good friends are hard to come by." commented Mrs. Thawne.

Iris nodded. "Agree."

"Why aren't you helping her with her article?" Mrs. Thawne question her son.

"Uhhh…."

"That is why you always need a best friend to talk to. My whole life I've had one best friend and I would not charge her for anything."

Iris smiled brightly. "Same with me. Barry and I are complete opposites but he understands me in a way that no one else can." She said not thinking how it would hurt Eddie.

On the way to their apartment things were tense. "I know you're upset with me. I'm sorry I was distracted at dinner."

"It's not just you being distracted, it's the fact that I didn't even know you were struggling at work."

"I'm sorry I didn't want to worry you."

"But you can worry Barry."

"No, is not like that. "

"I'm your boyfriend and we are living together but you always go to Barry first. You always talk to him about what's going on in your life before you even think about telling me. From the smallest detail to your biggest achievements. I'm the last one to find out. Iris I want to be able to be there for you when you have a bad day at work. When you're sad it happy or worry."

"And I love that about you. But you also have to understand that Barry is my best friend and for as long as I remember he's the first person I go to. I talk to Barry about everything."

"I get that, but things got to change. He's your best friend but I'm your lived in boyfriend."

"Barry is and will always be my best friend, and that is not going to change." She says said firmly.

"In not asking for it to change. I just want for you to talk to me. To let me know what is going on in your life." Said Eddie.

"I will, I promise."

A few weeks later Eddie had to eat his words as he's the one not sharing what's going on in his life with her.

But soon after they have another fight. Once again about how whenever something is happening in her life she always confides in Barry first.
