The Jokers Love

Change.

Chapter 20

I wake up in his firm, warm arms. I blush lightly. Everything seems to make sense now. I now understand why this has happened to me. And I'm not even as crazy as I thought.

You see? Everything that has happened lead me to pure freedom. I no longer have to live by the law or go to work everyday. I never have to go back to what my life had been like before this. Boring, lonely, just a never-ending cycle of sadness.

Now I have someone to love. Someone who understands me. Someone I can share the madness with. I'm in love with the Joker.

I suddenly find myself in the kitchen my face stings with pain and I am pushed to the ground. Wait. How did I get here? Joker kicks me while I'm on the floor, "YOU'RE JUST LIKE HER!" He glares at me. My bottom lip trembles, my eyes fill with tears of sadness, "W-what are you talking about!? I was just laying on the couch with you!"

He picks me up firmly by my arm, "You turned into an annoying little brat! Just like her! I thought you were going to be different!" He raises his hand to hit me again but I plead and stutter over my words, "I-I...who- what are you talking about!?" He stops and looks at me. Staring deeply in my eyes and he wraps his arms around me, "Legency! I-I, you were all loud with an annoying high pitched voice. Jumping around and saying how much you loved me and you were acting just like Harley!." I pull away gently and look at him, "what are you talking about? And even so, you fucking started beating me!?" I pushed him away.

I turn to leave, I walk to the door but he steps in front of me, "Legency, you have to understand! I didn't love Harley o-or even like her! I liked you because you were so confident it kept me interested, ya know?"

I glare at him and raise my voice grinding my teeth together angerly,  "THIS IS WHO I'VE BECOME. YOU MADE ME THIS WAY! IF EVERY TIME I HAVE A MENTAL BREAK OR WHATEVER HAPPENED BACK THERE, YOU'RE JUST GOING TO BEAT BE, THEN I NEVER WANT TO LAY MY EYES ON YOU AGAIN." I push past him but he grabs my arm and pulls me into a tight hug and whispers, "I need you...you're the reason I care about my life now. Please don't go.."

I feel tears in my eyes. As I felt so much for him. He might just be the only person in the world I care about. But I am NOT going to be like Harley.  I push Joker away once again I look him straight in his eyes, "the only reason for my life was to kill you. But after yesterday, I thought maybe. JUST MAYBE. You could love me. Like I learned to love you." I walk away, "now I think this is better than killing you"

I pull my gun out of my holster and hold it to my head, "this is goodbye, Mistah J" his face falls. He runs torwards me, "Legency stop!"

I pull the trigger.
