Chapter 45

(Since I haven't updated in a while, I thought I'd leave you guys with a long chapter!!! Stay tuned for Chapter 46! Till then- ENJOY!!)

(JOKER's POV)

A few days has passed, I wake up seeing the sun flashing through the shear curtains. Getting up a bit, I take a few seconds to appreciate the view.

"Stunning." I mumble, then looking beside me to find that my beautiful loving fiancé isn't next to me.

I then make my way towards the restroom. As I'm brushing my teeth, I look at my green hair. It sure is getting longer than before.

Maybe it's time for a trim. Shaving my face, I start trimming my hair.

That looks good. Smiling in the mirror, I get disgusted. I'm hideous. Going into my chamber thing that makes me look 'human', I step out seeing a handsome man that I used to look like me before.

Changing my clothes into something comfortable, such as jeans & a black Tee, with a denim jacket over ; I make my way towards the window once more.

It represents new. A new day. A new life. A new me..? Heading downstairs, I see a note attached on the fridge.

Made you breakfast Puddin, went out with the girls. Be back later. XOXO- Yours Truly.

Smiling as I read the sticky note, I then peel it off the fridge. Stuffing it in my pocket, I grab the breakfast she made me: bacon, avocado, eggs, and toast.

. . .

Washing my plate, I decide to go out. Grabbing my car key, I head towards my pure black lambo.

Driving, I park my car in the city parking lot. Getting out, I tour the streets. As I'm walking I see a flower shop from far away.

Running, I pick out a few flowers that match Harley's personality. Cute. She'd like these, "that'll be $14.35." The lady says, paying I head my way towards the car.

(HARLEY's POV)

As I'm riding with the girls, we see a man holding a sign.

Food please. The sign reads.

"Man, I feel bad for these people... they're dehumanized." Ivy says while sighing.

"I mean, they did it to themselves." Cat says.

"I know... but you don't know what they've been through. They could've been kicked out of their homes, fired from their jobs-" Cat cuts Ivy off.

"If they even had one." Cat says glaring at Ivy.

"I understand how you feel Cat, but sometimes you gotta see their side of things." Ivy says.

Looking at the man, he has a beagle sitting beside him. "Look." I say, seeing a police officer walking up to the homeless man.

The man is begging the police.

The police quickly takes the dog, causing the man to fall on his knees. "Hey!" I say, getting out from the vehicle.

"Ma'am, please get back in your vehicle." The police officer says.

"Why!? He's not doing any harm!" I say.

"Yes I know, but he cannot fully take care of this animal. It needs to be put in a shelter. He cannot provide for this animal." The officer says.

"You don't know that!"

"Yes I do. He has no job-" the homeless cuts him off.

"Actually I do. I work at the gas station. I spend all my hard earned money on my dog." He says.

"Exactly. Then why are you on the streets?"

"Because I can't afford a home..." the mans eyes begin to water, causing my eyes to water.

"That's why I'm going to take this animal away. YOU CANT PROVIDE!" The police says loudly.

"HEY! Did you just hear him!? He said he spends all his hard earned money taking care of this dog. His friend! His family! And you're just going to take him away!? Just because he doesn't have a home??? Wow!" I say.

"Ma'am, I understa-"

"No you don't! What does it take? Money!? I'll give this man money if I have too!" I say.

"If you can house this animal, then you may keep it. Till then, this animal will be sent to a local shelter."

"Fine!! I'll take care of it!" I quickly say.

"Here you go ma'am. You look pretty rich, make sure you provide for this dog." The officer says, quickly going to his car ;  driving off.

"Here you go Sir. Here, take this-" I offer money

"No. Keep it. You saved my pup. My family. That's all that matters, thank you." He says, tearing up.

"No no! Please. Take it, this will get you a home. Or even a hotel. And even an outfit." I smile.

"Thank you so much.. I... most people usually ignore me. They treat me like I'm nothing. Like I'm not human. They walk pass me, they try not to look at me... like they're ashamed. Some people driving nice expensive cars will even say that they don't have enough money to give. Most people think I got here, because I lost it. Lost everything. Yeah, I did lose everything. Once I lost my wife, I went insane. Couldn't pay off the house. Worked day and night. All I had was my pup. He's been with me the whole way. He's like my child." He says.

I begin to tear up.

"I'm sorry.."

"No you don't have too. I've had enough pity for the past several years already. My names Nick by the way." The man says.

Shaking his hand, I give him a large hug. "Good luck Nick. Hope to see you around!" I say.

"You too." He smiles.

(JOKER's POV)

Arranging the flowers in the vase, Harley walks in. "Hey-" Harley immediately hugs me.

"What's wrong?" I ask.
