Smile (Book 1)

I'm here for you

Scarlett POV:

"No, no,no. Rowen! Stay away from me!" I screamed. "Or what? Me against lil weak you pvft you gotta be joking" he said. "Please dont do this" i begged. Tears streaming down my face. He pulled his hand back. Smack. I screamed. "Shut up bitch. The neighbours will hear us" he said vemon dripping with every letter he spoke. "Good" I replied in the same tone. Smack. I could taste the blood in my mouth. "This cause for some punishment" he said smirking. He started to unbuckle his belt. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" I screamed again. He stayed silent. He pushed me up against the wall. One hand was clutching my my hands pinning them against the wall above my head. The other was roaming every curve of my body. "ROWEN! STOP!" I screamed again. He ignored and did his business with me screaming and crying underneath him.
I woke up panting. Sweat dripping on my body. I could feel tears dripping from my eyes. I wipped them away. I got up and wandered to Jokers room. Maybe he will comfort me? I put on a pair of pj pants and walked to the all too familar door. I knocked. There was no reply. I knocked again. I was just about to knock again but I was greeted with a slightly grumpy and tired Joker. "What?!" He demanded. His attitude changed when he looked up and saw me. I looked into his and thought I saw concern."Hey scar whats up?" He asked worriedly. "Nightmare" I stated. He looked at me. "Can I stay here with you?" I asked. "Of course" he said stepping aside. He lead me to the bed. I sat down and he hugged me. I started to cry. He rubbed his hand up and down my back.

Joker POV:

She came to me? Why? I let her fall to her death surely she'd want someone else? Maybe I am the only one she trusts? What is wrong with me? Comfort her you twat! I rubbed my hand up and down her back whilst she cried into her shoulder. "It's gunna be ok" I said. "Really?" She questioned. "Yes Trust me" I said. She sat up and wipped the tears from her eyes. "Do you wanna talk about it?" I questioned. "Um...yeah" She said. I nodded my head to jester to continue. "He got me. Hit me,raped me. Nothing differnent really. He stood over me no mercy in his eyes. I was begging underneath him" she said. "Who?" I asked confused. "Rowen. My abusive boyfriend." She stated. "Haven't you called it off?" I asked. "I never tried" she said looking down. "Why?" I said. "I knew he would hit me or do something worse." She said. I lifted up her chin so she was looking in my eyes. "He won't get you hear okay." I said. "Okay" she said. It killed me to see her like this. I sighed and pulled in for another hug. She held on to me as if her life depened on it. I chuckled and kissed her head. "Want to sleep here tonight?" I asked. She nodded. I layed her down on the bed and layed next to her. She closed her eyes and snuggled into me. She soon fell asleep and it wasn't long until I did the same.

Scarlett POV:

I woke in the morning in Jokers arms. I didn't have another nightmare. I also felt safe in his arms. It was a weird feeling but I knew I could trust him. I snuggled deeper in his arms and rested my head on his arms. His grip tightened on me. I could feel a chuckle rise in his chest. "Morning J" I said. "Morning" he replied. I moved and started to strech. "I have to go out today to meet with one of people but you can stay here" he said. "Ok" I replied. "Feel free to roam about" he said getting up and walking to the bathroom. "Okay" I replied. I got up and started to walk to my room. I went in the bathroom to have a nice shower. The murky water ran down my back losening the muscle knots in my back. When I got out I put on a red tank top and a pair of black leggings with some socks. When I left the room I could hear the front door close signaling that he had left. I decided to clean up around the place a bit. After about 1hr or so I got board and decicded to explore the 'DO NOT ENTER' room.
When I came face to face with the door I turned around to see if anyone was watching. I opened the door and entered.
The room was a wreck. There was glass on the floor, bits of furninture were turned upside down. What intersed me the most was the pile of photos on the desk. Dodging the shardes of glass I walked over. I was surprised to see some photos of me. They were taken a couple of weeks ago as there was some of the cuts which have now scared. I flicked through the photos. I also noticed some more photos they were of a diffenrent person. A girl. Who is it?
"When there is a sign that says 'DO NOT ENTER' its for a reason" someone said. Uh oh. "I'm sorry" I said turning around to be face to face with an angry looking Joker. "What are you doing here?" He said sounding mad. "I was looking around and I looked in here" I replied. "All the chit chat gunna get ya hurt" he said shutting me up. He walked over and grabbed my wrist. He dragged me down the corridor to a room with a metal door. He opened the door and threw me in. He layed me on a table and tied my wrists. "Please. Please don't do this" I begged. "Haha people who do bad things have to be punnished" he said with a sickening grin on his face. "Don't kill me please" I said tears forming in my eyes. "Oh I'm not gunna kill ya. I'm gunna hurt ya really...really...bad" he said whilst grabbing two electric cables. He turned them on and placed them either side of my hips. I screamed. When he had finished he turned them off and untided me. I took action to get away. I kicked him where it really hurts and fled. I ran down the streets in only my socks. I had no idea where I was going but I had to get away.

Jokers POV:

What have I done? She ran away. I have ti find her before she gets hurt. Where would she go? Her boyfriend? No. Bruce Wayne? Maybe he is her friend. I have to find her. I cant lose her too.
