The heart of the joker

Chapter 10

He hesitated but then replied,

"..okay..."he wheezed,

he then started coughing and sat up, he then spat out some blood and laid down, i started to wipe off the paint and he winced on some parts of his face, when i wiped off the paint off his scars he tensed, 

i threw the wipe in the bin and held my hand on his face, admiring him, he was beautiful, in a mainly way, Jack shrugged my hand away and looked to the side,

"im..hideous..i know..just..get..on..with..it"

i pulled his face to me, i looked him in the eyes, i smiled,

"your not hideous...your beautiful"

his eyes widened in shock, then he gritted his teeth,

"your lying"

"no"

i lent down and pressed little kisses to his scars and missing his lips, Jack relaxed, i then looked at him and smiled, he smiled back and lifted his arms up and pulled my face to his, i kissed him back, pulled away and grabbed the antiseptic wipe and cleaned Jacks wounds,

'what did i just do? am i falling for the joker?'

he flinched at each one, i gave him a few painkillers, once finished i put bandages or plasters on his cuts, on the bruising i put some ice, i did take a medical course in uni for a year but quit so i looked for any broken bones, there wasnt any but his jaw at the bottom right was severely bruised and was the cause of Jack not being able to talk easily,

"right your all sorted, im going to get my things from Bruce's and ill be right back i promise"

i stood up but Jack held onto my wrist, i looked back and his eyes showed me he was broken,

"..dont..leave...me..."he whimpered,

i went to his side and stroked his hair, he held onto my wrist like he was scared he was going to loose me, my heart started beating more and i felt so bad for him,

"i wont ever...ill be back, i wont run away again"

"promise..me...?"he croaked, 

tears lined his eyes and i knew he painkillers were part of the reason he was like this, a few slipped out and i wiped them away,

"dont cry Jack, i promise, im never going to leave"

he nodded, i pressed a kiss to his forehead, 

"be...quick...?"he asked,

"of course, while im gone try and get some sleep"

he nodded and i stood up but he grabbed my wrist again, i looked at him and he pointed to his lips, i rolled my eyes but i pecked his lips and walked out the door,

i ran down the hall but one of Jacks men pinned me to the wall,

"and where do you think your going, sweetheart? running away again?"

"im going to get my fucking stuff and im coming back idiot, i just cleaned the joker up and i promised HIM, ill be back for gods sake!"

"fine but if you dont come back within two hours, your dead!"he snarled,

he let go of me and i spat at him and ran to the car getting in,

"asshole"i muttered and drove off,

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i got to Bruces within 30 mins and i ran up to the door, i walked in and i got to the elevator when i guard stopped me,

"where are you going, Miss?"

"i stayed here for a few days, ive come o get my things, Mr. Wayne is aware"

"im afraid i cannot allow you to go there"

"ugh!! call Mr. Wayne here then!"

"Miss im-"

"is there a problem?"

i turned and saw Bruce, i sighed in relief,

"this lady wanted to go up and shes claiming to want her 'stuff'"

"Ryder?"Bruce asked,

i nodded,

"i told you i would be back to collect my things"

"very well, come with me"

we got into the lift and once the doors shut Bruce turned to me, 

"Ryder, im sorry about-"

"i dont want to know, i came here for my stuff only"

we got out the lift and i walked to the bedroom, i began stuffing my things into my bag,

"im sorry, i didnt mean to hurt your boyfriend!"Bruce shouted, 

i dropped my bag and ran out the room and got into Bruce's face, 

"HES NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!"

"then why did you save him? after everything hes done?!"

"i dont know!! i have and i dont feel any regret!"

i walk back to my room and continue to pack my things,

"i think its a bad idea! you'll end up getting hurt!"

i growled, i finished grabbing my tings and stomped out the door, 

"i dont care what you think! and i can defend myself thank you! now i have my things and ill be leaving!"

i turned and Bruce grabbed my wrist, i winced because he dug his fingers into the bruise,

"wait-"

"ow! your hurting me!"

"oh! im sorry, but please...come to the party tomorrow night...?"

"i dont know..."

"please?"

"depending on how the joker is and if i can leave him then maybe"

"okay...sorry again..."

"whatever"i said and stomped out the room

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

i arrived back at the warehouse, i was gone for 1 hour and 15 minutes, i walked to the table where Jacks men were, i stood in front of the one who pinned me against the wall earlier,

"seee asshole, im back! and with 45 minutes spare!"i smirked,

he stood up and growled at me,

"you have no right to speak to me like that bitch!"he snapped,

"says who?"i pushed,

"i do"he replied,

i rolled my eyes and i walked to my room, i put the bag on the bed and turned to see the guy stood in the door way, he grinned and pushed me down on the bed pushing the bag off, he pinned my hands above my head and stroked my face,

"i think i should teach you a lesson, sweetie"he purred,

i shivered in disgust and started thrashing about, 

"get off me!!"i growled,

"shh"he cooed, 

i felt sick, he started to lift up my shirt, 

"p-please dont!!"

teras started to fall out my eyes, he ripped my shirt off and i screamed, he stuffed the shirt in my mouth to gag me, he grinned and started undoing my trousers, he pulled them off roughly and used them to tie my hands together, 

his eyes roamed my body and i started to scream as loud as i could through the gag he smirked and started unbuttoning his trousers, he took his off and i shook my head violently,
