Harley Diaries (Harley's story)

Sixteen

Nearly a week.

Was how long I had chose to ignore J. Sometimes he would ask a question or say something and I would just say "mhm" or nod like I was deaf.

I could tell he was upset on how I was treating him. He barely brought up our wedding or the baby that I was pregnant with. He was barely over at the apartment anymore anyways. Once in awhile he would text me asking if I needed food or necessities. But I would just ghost him. 

I had thought really hard on what Harleen said. I don't know what my heart wants anymore. I was so heartbroken when Joker and I broke up before, then I got my emancipation, then returned to being with him. Now the way I'm treating him will probably lead to our breakup and I'll be stuck raising a child on my own. 

That Friday morning had lead me to texting Ivy to come over. 

Me: Ives, I need u to come over. I have so much to share with u!

Ivy: Be over in 10.

Not long after she had sent that text, I heard a knock on my door. I open it to find Ivy with her hair pulled back in a ponytail and an outfit that she wouldn't normally wear. She hugged me tightly.

"I missed you, Harls." She says with an extra reassuring squeeze.

"I missed you too!" I reply. Ivy walks inside and I close the door.

"So what's up?" She says sitting both of us down on the couch.

That's when I explained everything that had happened, all Ivy did was sit there with eyebrows raised in shock.

"W-wow. I mean that's really good for you and Joker, right?" Ivy manages to say, "You guys were always talking about your future together."

"I guess it's great... I'm just afraid of what to do." I frown.

"Listen, if it ever leads to you being alone and trying to go through this pregnancy, I will visit every day to help you." She says smiling, then she frowns a little.

"What? Why are you frowning about?" I ask.

"Back a few months ago, when I had came over to tell you something, Joker had actually came in at a terrible time." She mumbles a bit, "I had- um- actually saw him doing something that he had forced me to promise not to tell. But you're my best friend, so I just needed to tell you."

"What is it?" I say, confused of course. "Go ahead, please tell me."

"H-he was with Punchline..." Ivy began, then she stopped.

"And?"

"And well they were doing some stuff that you and him would normally do. I was trying to look for you, thinking you were at his place. Swearing up and down I thought I had heard him talking to you and well..." She pauses, her eyes watering with tears, "I'm just sorry, Harley. He threatened to hurt you in sake of me telling you."

"No no, it's alright," I say, tears forming in my own eyes. I hug Ivy close. "H-he's had his fun, I will show him my revenge. I can't believe I had thought he would actually love me. Thank you for telling me this."

"I'm sorry that I had to tell you this late, especially when you're expecting his child." She cried out.

"It's fine, Ives." I say with a slight smile. "Now tell me what's with the giddy up?"

She chuckles under her once sobbing breathing, "I had went on a coffee date with a guy this morning."

"Ooh tell me all about it!" I say cheerfully as I bounced up and down in delight on the couch.
