Falling for Insanity ⇒ Joker

12

The italics means it's a flashback and this chapter is kinda important as to what happened to Katie after Jack 'died'

And the italics in bold means it's a flashback within a flashback
Confusing I know.

It was the night after everything that has happened with Joker I mean Jack getting caught to Rachael....dying.

It was 2am. I haven't slept since yesterday but if we are being technical here then two days.

I tried taking my meds but they aren't working. I laid here staring at the ceiling.

I wiped away a stray year that fell down my face.

There was a knock on my door. Not my bedroom door but my balcony door. I grabbed a bat that I've hidden under my bed and walked cautiously over to the balcony door and lifted my bat up prepared to hit whoever was there.

I swung the bat but the person caught it with their hand.

"Easy there doll." Jack said. I pulled he bat out of his grasp and tossed it to the side. I ignored him and turned around going back to bed.

"Did I, uh, wake ya?" He asked. I shook my head. I sat there on my bed as he closed the door and looked at me up and down. "No offense doll but you look like a mess." He said bluntly.

"I've noticed." I mumbled.

"When was the last time you slept?"

"Before you woke me up yesterday night." I told him. He licked his lips.

"You need to-" I cut him off.

"I tried!" I snapped raising my voice. But then I lowered it when I said. "My medication isn't helping either." I say truthfully. He didn't respond. I felt the bed dip next to me where he sat. I felt tears come down my face. It was light sobs at first but then it was full on crying fest for me. Jack wrapped his arms around me rocking me back and forth.

"Shh. It'll be alright doll." I pushed him away from me and stood up off of my bed.

"Why is it that the people closest to you are the ones who hurt you the most?" I asked. I heard Jack get off the bed. I turned around and saw him standing in front of me. He looked worried. Anger boiled through me.

"Why her Jack?" I asked him. He stayed silent. "Why Rachael? She was closest thing to a mother I had since my mom died. But you knew that Jack!"

"Stop lying!" I yelled. I saw anger in his eyes he became tense.

"Be any louder your father will come in here and find himself a serial killer in his daughters room."

"Don't change the subject Jack!" I exclaimed. "I know." Was all I said.

"Know what?" He asked looking at me suspiciously.

"I know who you really are Jack Napier." His eyes widened.

"How did you-" I cut him off.

"I pieced it together." Was all I said. New tears formed. I quickly wiped them away.

"Katie...." Jack began.

"How could you?" I ask him. "Why didn't you tell me sooner you were alive?" I questioned him.

"I didn't think you would want me with the scars." He said almost shamefully. This just fueled my anger.

"Do you have any idea what happened after I thought you died?!" I yelled. Jack growled and pushed me up against the nearest wall covering my mouth.
