I started driving around, I figured I'd get something to eat first. So a few minutes later I end up at some local restaurant. I ordered some pancakes and waited for them. As I was waiting, forever by the way, I thought about where I was gonna go to look for Jerome.
After I finished eating, I went back home to take a shower. I realized that I didn't take one before I left, and I forgot to take my stupid pills.
After I showered and friend my hair, I picked out an outfit. I wanted to look good for my baby, so I picked out black skinny jeans, a lacy v neck shirt and some black boots.
I put my curly hair in ponytails, because I remember how Jerome always said he loves my hair this way. I put on a cute necklace with a gun on it, and a few bracelets then sat on my bed.
I was probably too nervous to bring myself to find him. No I was probably too scared to go find him.
What if he turns out being way different, and he doesn't like me anymore?
What if he is the exact same, but he doesn't like me anyways?
What if it's someone else... With Jerome's hair and laugh? Wait that's just stupid, it doesn't even make sense. You see, this is why I hate over thinking. I tried to stop thinking, and did my makeup.
"Why don't you just wait for him to come find you?" I asked myself while I was almost done with my makeup.
I finished and I practically forced myself to go find him. I got in the old beat up truck, and started driving. I had no idea where I was going or what the fuck I was doing. A little while later I found myself standing in front of the building that Theo and Tabitha lived in.
I was about to go inside for some reason, then someone slapped my ass. I spun around and was ready to punch the perv, but stopped once I seen that it was Jerome. I wrapped my arms around him and hugged him tightly.
He pushed me away, and shook his head, "What? Did you actually think that you would find me here?" He snapped then was gone.
I didn't know where else to go so I got back in the truck and started driving. I decided to turn on some music. On the first station all I heard was a familiar laugh. I frantically flipped through each station, only to find that same laugh.
I love Jerome's laugh, but I couldn't handle it right now, I'm going fucking crazy. Wait? I already am, aren't I?
Anyways, I kept driving, and thought about where me and Jerome went together. We went to Arkham.. Ha. Um, we went lived with Theo and Tabitha for a while, but that's been ruled out. We used to hang around at his trailer before the asylum,but some fat guy lives there now.
Oh god, I'm a dumbass. How didn't this come to mind right away?
Once I got there, I barely even put the truck in park before jumping out of the car. I ran over to a few tables sat there, then watched who was playing at the strength tester. There was a tall guy, with a beanie on, who was playing nonstop.
I tried my hardest not to get my hopes up, but I couldn't help it. I ran over to him, but stopped a little while back. What am I gonna do? Better yet, what am I gonna say?
I walked closer to the guy, "Wow, your pretty good at that. You hit the bell everytime." I said hopefully.
He turned around and I couldn't believe who I was seeing. It was Jerome! For real this time, I'm sure! I mean he looked.... A little different.. but it was still him, you could tell. Before he could even say anything I hugged him tightly.
As I was holding him, I realized that wasn't hugging me back. I was afraid to let go, then he cleared his throat awkwardly. I let go and looked at him still smiling, probably because I was finally seeing my boyfriend for real this time.
"I missed you." I said, trying not to get emotional. My heart was beating so fast as I waited for him to say something.
After a minute of looking at me, he looked at me confused "Do I know you?" He asked, in the same innocent voice he had, before he went psycho.
I almost collapsed with those words, and tears instantly filled my eyes. I quickly blinked them away, "Jerome, it's me... Krista." I said in a sad voice then looked at him, desperately praying silently that he didn't forget about me.
"Krista?" He said, dragging out my name. He looked at me like he wanted me to elaborate more.
"I'm your girlfriend" I said, and my voice cracked slightly.
"Girlfriend? I don't remember having a girlfriend. Especially one as beautiful as you." He said and smiled a little bit.
"What do you remember?" I asked.
He thought for a moment, "I remember my messed up life here, but I have no idea where I've been for the last two years or so. When I went home some guy answered, and he looked terrified. I can't find my horrible mother anywhere, and I have no idea where I live. I don't remember what happened to my decent looks, but now I look like a monster. I don't remember much, actually. That's about it." He said, trying to think of other things he remembered. Wow, I haven't seen him this innocent side the day we met.
"Oh, wait I do know you!" He said smiling, which made me smile. "You're that girl from the news, right?" He asked.
My smile was gone, and all I could do was cry. At first it wasn't that bad, but then it all hit me. And then it got bad
How can he not remember me?
"It's okay, don't cry." He said and tried to hug me, but it only made me cry more. He let goof me when he seen that it made me cry more, and it was like I couldn't stand. So I s down on the floor.
"I'm just kidding gorgeous." He said in the voice I was used to. The voice I loved. "But man, I got you good" he said, then laughed.
I started crying even harder, if that was possible. He stopped laughing and looked down at me, "I didn't think you cry this much, though" he said.
I stood up and slapped him, then I hugged him as tightly as I could. "I love you." I cried out, happily.
"I love you to Krista." He said. I never thought that I would ever hear him say that again.
After I was done suffocating him with my hug, he handed me the hammer, "Your turn" he said smiling.
I took it out of his hands and threw it on the floor, "We have better things to do." I said and grabbed his hand. We ran back to my truck, and got inside.
I started it, and I began driving "Where are we going?" He asked.
I pulled out a bag of guns from the back and smiled. "Gotham" I said smiling.
"Please tell me you fucking killed Theo." He said.
"Oh you'll never guessed who killed him." I said smiling, "well the first time."
"Tabitha?" He asked. I shook my head.
"Barbra" he asked.
"No, but I heard those two are back together."
"I dunno, tell me" he demanded.
I smiled, "Jim!" I said then laughed hysterically. Jerome joined in too.
"Really?" He asked after we finally stopped laughing.
"Yep" I said and we both started laughing again.
After things cooled down, we finally made it to the city. I parked the car in an alley behind the GCPD, and we both got out with our guns.
"Oh, yeah. How did you get those scars?" I asked before he opened the back door.
He turned around to look at me, "It's a funny story, actually."
Wow, I honestly had no idea how I was gonna end this. There are so many possibilities on how Jerome will come back. So I just went with this. I hope you enjoyed reading as much as I enjoyed writing this story.
