Jokers

Aria's pov:

I didn't expect him to turn around. But he did. 

Beautiful grey eyes glaring at me. They almost blended in with the stars that were shining behind him. God they were pretty. 

I swear there was magic in those eyes. Dirty, dark, beautiful magic. A sort of magic that had a hold on you.

"What the fuck are you doing here?" 

This question broke me out of my trance. I stared blankly at him. I mean come on how the hell am I meant to answer that question. 

"Well? Why the hell are you here?!" he seemed angry. I swear he was such a child.

"The window was open then there were stairs. I followed them." The best way to survive the wrath of the tyrant was to tell the truth.

He looked like he was having a midlife crisis as he heard what I was saying, he then mumbled something about a window and not closing it. 

So it was his fault. Fantastic. 

"So what is this place anyways?" I started walking around to the edge of the balcony, the stars sure were shining brightly today. 

"Shut up." 

I rolled my eyes. Why was he always so moody. Honestly it didn't do his handsome face any justice.

"The sky is so pretty." I sighed "Is that why you come here?" 

"Shut. Up." He gritted. 

"Or what?" I turned around to see him sulking in the corner, obviously agitated that i'd ruined his little serene environment. 

"Or I'll throw you off the balcony." He was still glaring at me, then he moved a little closer. 

Throw me of the balcony? I looked down to see trees below. So technically if i did happen to fall then I could possibly get stabbed by the branches...but there was also the possibility that the trees could catch my fall and in the end i'd be fine how- 

"What the fuck are you doing?" He peered over he same edge i was looking at.

"Weighing my options." I said while still trying to figure out if I could survive. 

He scoffed, "There is no way you could ever survive getting thrown of a balcony." He was now looking at me with an eyebrow raised up. 

Cocky bastard. 

Guess i'd just have to show him. 

"Really?" I challenged him. 

I climbed up the ledge. It was only a small jump anyways. 

"Wait- What the heck are you doing?" He seemed surprised. Cocky bastard didn't really think I would do it now did he? I'll show him.

"I'm proving to you that I can- FUCKING HELL." My footing slipped. 

I could feel my whole body falling backwards. Guess this was how my life would end. Oh for fucks sake. I closed my eyes shut. What a shitty way to die. 

Forwards? 

Huh? 

Why was I being pulled forwards?

Then suddenly I felt a soft thud, A warm body was beneath me, and cushioned my fall. 

Leo? Leo the tyrant of the whole entire world, helped me? Hell no. I opened my eyes half expecting to see an angel. 

"God you crazy Lady." He sounded like he was in pain. 

Leo's Pov:

I don't know why i helped her. 

I saw her on the ledge and something inside of me told me to not let her die. So I pulled her forward. 

This woman was insane. I swear she was. Or perhaps I was the insane one for helping her and getting my head whacked on the hard concrete floor just to not let her slip of the ledge. 

Yeah I was going insane. 

"God you crazy Lady." I gritted my teeth through the pain. 

"Excuse you, I'm not fucking crazy. You are." She started getting up from on top of me

"Maybe I am" I murmured. 

"HA! You just agreed with me." 

I looked up at her. God I wish I hadn't. 

Fiery emerald eyes smiled at me. Her brown hair was a mess, splayed everywhere. She looked beautiful. I looked away. 

I walked over to the opposite side of the balcony that she was standing at. I couldn't look at her, my heart started doing weird things, perhaps I was slowly going insane. 

Maybe insanity is a disease. Perhaps it was contagious. If this was true then i'd caught it from that stupid woman. 

I looked back at her, she was just looking up at the sky, without a care in the world like she hadn't just nearly died 2 seconds ago.

"You really don't care if you die, do you?" I murmured under my breath. 

She heard me. 

"No. No I do not care if I die." She turned to me and had this half smile on her face. 

"That's bullshit. Everyone cares about their death." She was just trying to act tough. 

"Everyone also has at least someone or something that they want to stay alive for. I don't. I have no one or anything that i would want to stay alive for. So in the end if i die then i'll die alone, knowing that I've lived my life doing whatever I've wanted to do for myself. I don't think that that's bullshit, do you?" 

Her words did something inside of me that I don't think I've ever felt before. Something stung. 

The honesty in her words and the determination in her eyes showed that she truly believed everything. 

"So, you sing?" She changed the topic all too suddenly. 

It was a topic that I didn't want to talk about. 

"I think you've been her for long enough, now that you've seen what up here, don't ever come back." I hoped for once she would just listen.  

Obviously she didn't. 

"Oh come one, don't be shy, I thought you were actually decent you know? I liked it, It was calming." I couldn't tell if she was being honest or joking. 

It didn't matter anyway, its not like I cared if she liked it or not. No way. 

"Just get lost from here. Go." I turned around from her and focused my attention back onto my guitar, I ran my finger along the shiny side.

"Jeez. Ok I'm leaving. Your honestly so moody all the time." She complained while walking towards the stairs. 

"Don't ever come back here." I yelled at her. 

"No promises, this place is kinda sweet, you know?" She yelled back. 

I sighed. This crazy woman. 

A little while later I too decided to leave.
