Smile (Book 1)

Change Isn't Always Bad

Scarlett POV:

The ride home was silent. I was thinking about what Harley said. The silence was broken when Bruce said "I hear they are letting Harley out soon after one last thepist session. You can hang around with her more" I nodded. "But of course self defence in needed when you hang around my enimes." He added. "Yer." I sighed. He sighed as well. He could tell how broken I was with what Joker did. "Dad?" I asked. "Yes sweety" he said turning his head only slightly. "If I did go back to the Joker do you think he would go as far as changing me?" I asked. "He didn't hesitate with Harley." He said sturnly and slightly to agressgive than it was ment to be. "Look I just want you be safe. I dread what he will do when your alone with him. I also worry what he will do if he does change you" he added calming himself down. "But change isn't always a bad thing. It might be good. I might become a better person" I stated. "Or become worse like Harley. She was innocent before she fell inlove with him. Now look she is in Arkham. Cause he couldn't be assed to help her" he said. I stayed silent as he contuined to talk. "Promice me something" he said. "What?" I asked. "If he does change you. Please either go to Harley or me. Stay away and out of trouble" he said worry and emotion dripping from his voice. I nodded. Would he change me? Would he go that far? When I got home I had to clear ny head. I needed to go for a run. I got in my running clothes and went out. I was running to the hills. A certain hill that had my 'parents' grave. As I ran I picked flowers from bushes that I thought were nice. It was a calming walk. When I arrived I layed the flowers down and sat down. I started to tell everything that had happened in past few weeks. I soon started crying. I didn't notice that someone was there until there was a cough. I quickly stood up and turned around. It was only Bruce. He sighed and layed down a bunch of red roses. "I was thinking about what you said earlier" he stated. I just nodded. "Maybe change isn't always a bad thing. I think you need to go back to him. As much as I hate it but he better with you" he said looking down. "Thankyou" I said. I went up and hugged him. "Just if he does 'change' please come home" he said. I nodded and curled further into his chest and arms for protection.

When we returned home I packed my bags. I was returning to the Joker. Dad said he would get Harley out of prison and  she would stay with him incase I needed either of them.
It wasn't long until I was at Jokers house. I took a deep breath and knocked. When I knocked the door opened. I nodded to Bruce that he could leave. I wandered around the house to see if he was here. He wasn't. I decided to unpack and wait for him on the sofa. I sat there for a good few hours and waited. I soon started to fall asleep.

Joker POV:

When I arrived back home I saw her. I rubbed my eyes to check if it was real. I picked her up bridle style and layed her in her room. Which I tidyed dew to my insane moment I wrecked it...again. I layed down next to her. I wrapped my arms around her incase she'd run away again. I swear I was dreaming. My doll was back. I need to keep her and I only have one way to try that. But will she comply. I sighed and snuggled my head in her hair. I can think about that later right now my Girl is home.
