Gotham High: Harley & Joker [COMPLETED]

Chapter 12: The Joker; part 2

No ones P. O. V:

Jack walked down the alley, still smiling. He headed back to his 'home', if you could call it that, his father was a alcoholic and was abusive. His mother... well...  Jack hated her.

He arrived at his doorstep and walked in. His mother was on the couch watching TV, giggling. She heard Jack come in and without even glancing towards him she said in (according to Jack) a VERY annoying voice, "do the dishes. And clean your room! It's a filthy pigs pen! And take a shower! Your stinking up the house! I'll kick you out, you ungrateful brat.  You better have some friends that would take you in, but I very much doubt it." she continued eating chips and staring at the TV. She didn't hear him do anything so she finally turned around and glared at him with her muddy brown eyes, her dirty black hair in a messy bun. "Listen here, and listen good." She spoke hoarsely and narrowed her eyes. "I go to work as an accountant, ("and don't do a very good job", Jack chuckled under his breath) and buy you food and clothes not for you to disobey me and ignore me and slack off. I'm just doing all this, (she made a motion with her hands, clutching a potato chip in one) so you can have a good, non-pathetic life. Not like all these losers out there in the world, " she said,  motioning toward the window. She smiled and said in her annoying voice, "like your father! He works SO hard at the car wash! You should get a job there too, soon!"

"He's an alcoholic!" Jack yelled at his mother.

"He deserves to drink!" His mom snapped back. "It's like his time off! The car wash doesn't let him get any rest!"

"Yeah, and he makes, what? 5 dollars an hour?!" Jack snarled.

For this, his mother had no answer, since it was true. She, only earns 10 an hour, an his father spends most of the money on alcohol, when she spends it on cigarettes and lottery tickets. There was barely enough to get mostly everything thing they needed,  like food, clothes, etc. Jack had stolen the phone he had and paid the rent for it with the money he sneaks from his mother's purse. His mother pays the bills and taxes, barely enough to scrape by with the water and electricity bills. They lived in a smelly, dirty house, but his mother blames the smell on her son. Juli (Jack's mom) got up from the couch and walked over to him, Jack's face still concealed in the shadows of the house. She squinted her eyes.

"Come here. Now!" She stood up straight and pointed to the ground in front of her.

"No." Jack replied, smiling. (although she couldn't see that he was.)

"What?! What?! What did you say to me?!" She rose her voice. "You ungrateful little... " She started forward, as to take his ear and pull him towards her. He stepped away from her hand and grabbed it in a firm grip. She tried wrenching away from it,  unsuccessfully. She started to squirm and use both hands. Jack let go and pushed her to the ground. She yelped in surprise.

"Jack? What- what are you doing? What's happening?" She looked wary from all of this. He just started laughing. 

"I hate you! I'll kill you! I'll do it myself! Right here. Right now." He came from the shadows,  smiling. When Juli saw his face she screamed, "Harold! Harold! Come quick!" Jack's dad stumbled into the room.

"Wuzz goin on?" He asked hazily.

"Harold! Help me!" Juli screamed. Jack laughed again. Harold squinted his eyes and stumbled forward. He was holding a half-empty beer bottle.

"Hey! Let go of your mother!" Harold yelled. He was drunk. He didn't really care about Juli. Jack shook his head, smiling. He reached back and took something from his back pocket. He put the item to his moms throat. A knife. He pressed it deeper into her skin. Beads of blood appeared on Juli's neck. Harold just stood there. In one swift movement, Jack cut open his moms throat and fled into the night, leaving a dumbfounded Harold and a dead Juli behind.

Jack didn't know where to go. But this wasn't the last of him. No. Far from it.

I'm sorry if I used your names in the story and it's offensive to you like Juli or Harold. I just needed to give them a name.  Thx.  😉😇😀
