The heart of the joker

Chapter 5

"so what is it you want to tell me?"Ash asked, she had wiped her face and grabbed a coffee,

Taking a deep breath I looked at Ash, she said she wasn't going to freak out..just breathe

"I lied to you about the night of the robbery..."I breathe, 

"what do you mean? did the joker do something?!"She barked,

"no. calm down, just listen..."

"right yeah, sorry..go on"She flushed,

"..anyway, I did go to get the book but I didn't have enough so I went to the bank, but as the lady took my card there was gun shots so I hid under a desk and after a few minutes I poked my head round the corner to find a chance to escape and saw people tied up in groups and men with clown masks on, I moved to get a better look and I got stabbed with glass so I made a noise by accident and one of the men saw me and I screamed and ran" I pause to take a brake,

Ash looked confused but she was focused on listening. Smiling at her, she squeezed my hand supportively. Motioning me to carry on.

"I ran into someone when I looked behind me and they caught me, it went silent and I opened my eyes and only I could see under the mask and it was the joker. He mouthed to me stay quiet, that the other men don't know and I started kicking to get out his grip and he just tied my hands together and put me against the wall. He then whispered in my ear to be quiet, they dont know its me don't tell them, just be quiet and you wont be harmed beautiful, i nodded and he did something weird..."

"what was it?!"Ash asked, hooked on my words like I was telling a fictional story, 

"he held my face with one hand and stoked my cheek, like this"i did it to her as he had to me,

"strange"She commented, her face screwing up in confusion, 

"then men came out and the bus crashed into the building then he shot all the men and took off his mask he started laughing but while the men where loading the money onto the bus i used my pocket knife to cut the rope but the joker walked over to me and held out his hand he saw me untie myself..."

~~~

"...so when we got into the alley way he looked at me and said hes sorry for what hes about to do next and he kisses me..."I saw shock on Ash's face, "but then he picked up a metal pole and I knew he was gonna hit me with it but I  told him to wait and I don't know why or what came over me but I kissed him and he kissed me back then he hit me and I fell out the car but he caught me then the next thing I know, I wake up and see you."

As I looked at her, her jaw dropped to the floor, then she screamed,

"YOU KISSED THE JOKER?!"

"sshhhh!!! but yes I did"I said sheepishly,

"omg...you're crazy!"Ash exclaimed,

"I know but the joker did act really weird..."

"yeah, that's true. he did"She shurged, 

Sighing I stood up and headed for the kitchen,

"I'm gonna make some coffee want some?"

"yeah sure"

I filled the kettle and flicked it on. While I was waiting I sorted the cups, 2 spoons of coffee, 2 sugars in mine and 2 spoons of coffee and 1 sugar in Ash's. Once I made the coffee I walked back to the living room and placed the mugs on the coffee table. Just as I took a sip there was frantic banging at the door. Quickly I stood up and looked through the hole and saw Jack. My eyes widened and I swiftly opened the door and pulled him in, slamming the door shut behind him.
