Smile (Book 1)

Boyfriend?

Scarlett POV:

After I flopped onto my bed I fell asleep . When I woke up I went for a shower. I let the brown mucky water flow down my back. I wasn't sure if this was really cleaning me but it was refreshing. I had forgotten about Joker and the Kiddnapping and my abusive boyfriend for a while. It wasn't until that all came back with Joker shouting at me through the door. "Hey! SCAR GET OUT FROM THERE!" he yelled. "I AM IN THE SHOWER" I yelled back. "Oh sorry, come and see me when you are done scar" he said calmly as he left. I tutned of the shower and got into some of the clothes that were in the draws. I put on some socks and roamed the corridor to get to Joker. I passed the 'do not enter' door. I will have to roam in there when he goes out again I thought. When I got to his door I knocked. "What?" Joker said through the door. "It's me scar" I replied through the door. "Come in" he replied. I entered the room and he was wearing only a pair of his arkham pants and and no top. This gave me a better look at his tattoos. "Do they scare you?" He asked. "No. I like them" I stated. "Really? No one likes them" he said. "Well I am somebody not no one" I replied. He smilied at that. "Was there something you needed?" He said. "You said you had food for me" I replied trying not to sound so greedy. "Ah yes. Wait in your room I will bring it to you" he said. "Thanks" I replied and walked out of the room. A few minutes later he came in with a couple if slices of pizza. "Thank you" I said. "Anything for you Scar" He replied. "You know I like that nickname it kinda grows on you" I said. He smiled and handed the plate over. When I had finished I decided to go in the bathroom. When I came out there was a dress on the top and some shoes and a note. I walked over and the read the note.

Scar,
I have given you this dress as we are going to Bruce Waynes party. One of my goons will come and get you when we are going.
Hope it fits ☺
J

I placed the note down and went in the bathroom again to change. The dress was black and purple and just went below the knees. The shoes were black sillottes and had a little buckle by the ankles. I came out and sat on the bed awaiting the goon.
"Boss says its time to go" the goon said bardging in the door. "You know it is rude not to knock" I said sarcastically. "Ha I was hoping I get you changing" he said with a grin on his face. I ignored him and walked past. I pushed him slightly into the wall. He fell into it with a large clash. "Oh Bitch" he shouted. I continued to ignore him. This made him angrier. He started to chase me when I could hear him comming I sprinted. I needed to get to Joker. I ran through corridor after corridor and he was right on my tail. I could see the door way to the living room but I couldn't get there in time. The goon grabbed me and took me into a roon. He drew his hand back ready to smack me. "J!" I screamed. The man cover my mouth. "Shut up Bitch" he said. I bit him and kicked him in the spot where it really hurts. He groaned and fell on the floor. I ran to where Joker was. He saw my tear stained cheeks. He was confused but he soon realised what was going on when the goon appeared round the corner and lept at me. I fell on the floor with the goon in top of me. He slapped me across the face. Joker drew his gun from his pocket and shot the guy right inbetween the eyes. I crawled out from underneath and ran to Joker. I wrapped my arms around his waist. He was shocked but soon rapped his arms around me. "Thankyou" I whispered. "Anytime Scar. Come one lets go" he said. I nodded and walked by his side to the car. We got in and drove to the party. I needed to see Bruce. He is the only one who knows about my fear in men and abuse. He will calm me down.
~Time Skip~
When we arrived Joker linked his arm in with mine. We walked straighy through the front entrence. "I will be back in a minute stay close and don't get into any trouble." He whispered in my ear. I nodded and unlinked my arm from him. He disappeared into the croud and I stayed still looking for the famous Bruce Wayne himself. As I was scanning the croud I saw someone I did not want to see. My abusive boyfriend. He saw me and started to walk towards me. I ran through the crowed. Not again. I thought. As I was running I bumped into someone. "Scarlett?" The man said. I stopped and turned around. "Bruce?" I questioned. I ran to him and hide behind him. My boyfriend walked up to him amd me. "Come on Scarlett lets go" he said dragging me by my arm by the balcony. "BRUCE, J" I shouted. He covered my mouth with his grubby hands. He pulled me to the edge of the balcony. "This is what little girls get when they run away" he said. He pulled me to the egde of the balcony and hung me over. Tears were dripping from my eyes. "Please, please I'm sorry. Rowen don't do this please" I begged. Before I knew it he laughed and pushed me over the egde. I screamed.

Joker POV:

I was stunned when the music stopped. I heard a scream that sounded all to familar. Scarlett. I ran to where a crowed was formed and where the direction of the scream was. When I was at the front of the crowed I saw a man standing by the balcony. He was lent over the edge looking down. "J" I heard someone scream. "Scarlett?" I shouted. I ran over to the edge and saw her falling to her death. Suddenly Batman appeared and resuced her. Even though I hate the guy I am glad he knows when to turn up at the right time. I ran down to the car. When she saw me she ran into me arms. "Its ok. I am sorry I didn't make it in time" I said. "Your hear now its fine" she weapt. I picked her up and carried her to the car. When we arrived I walked her to her room. I kissed her forehead and let her sleep. I was so worried that she had died. I will kill whoever caused her this pain. Wait why am I feeling like this? Do I love her?
