We stood at the stage, ready to say our vows. Until some imbecile wants to start talking.
"Bruce! Why are you letting this happen?" Bruce goes to answer but Maya takes out a gun and shoots the man and puts it away, getting back in the same position as before. Wow. Such aggressive actions.
"Enough! I'm letting you have your moment. No one has to die. They want to get married, let it be. At least they aren't trying to kill anyone until you guys say question anything. I just want what's best." The whole time Bruce spoke, I felt a real live headache come on. At least he's being cooperative.
Anyways, back to vows. "Joker, King of Gotham, crazy man that I have grown to love. I am your queen now. There hasn't been anyone who has let me open up and be as happy as you have made me feel. You'll always be my partner in crime, someone that I will kill and steal with." She laughed and people in the crowd actually looking like they enjoyed this. Freaks. "You've never seemed all that crazy to me, maybe that's because I'm crazy too. At the same time, you make me feel sane. For once in my life, I can say that I love something enough to never be able to let go. You're the best thing that's ever happened to me." A tear fell from her eyes and some people were crying. Who knows what it's from but I will take it as if it is from her vow. Sirens were outside but Bruce kept the cops outside.
And so I said mine. "Well, I'm bad at this. You're the only female I haven't wanted to kill. You've broken me out of Arkham and you've stabbed me. You've given me arms to be held in and you've given me battle scars to show off. You've given me love when I didn't think I could be loved. You're insane for loving me but crazy enough to be with me. Well, clearly I love you. I wouldn't killed you long ago." I looked around and Bruce actually looked like he was admiring us. "Bruce knows that I've got something for you. He once was the only thing I was obsessed with. Now I've got my eyes on something else. Though, that doesn't mean I won't ever stop fucking with you, buddy." He laughed and I clapped. "I'm glad you'll be my Queen."
The priest asked us if we really wanted this and blah blah and if anyone was to oppose but Maya pointed a gun towards the crowd so no one would oppose. I laughed at her and the priest finished us off.
"You may now, kiss the bride." And I leaned it. Slowly. Savoring the moment. Just about to kiss my bride.
I heard a gunshot. It was loud and in the crowd. I looked around and saw nothing. Not until I looked forward at my bribe. Why was there blood?
Mayas POV
It didn't hurt me. Sound was muffled, though. I know I looked in the crowd and I saw Bruce yell my name but I could hardly hear him. He shot the lady who shot me. Reaper. She finally got to me. And now she has finally been shot.
Everything was in slow motion.
Step.
Step.
Step.
Bruce was running.
My head turned slowly to Joker. His eyes were wide. My mouth was wide. I could tell that I was crying. Was I not just having my moment just a second ago?
Then I was falling.
The second my body hit the floor, everything came to. The pain was unbearable. This wasn't a normal shot. Something is wrong. Let them know. My side was killing me. People were screaming. Cops rushed in. People were running. Joker was holding onto me. Bruce was next to me. A medic was coming. I need to tell them.
"My dress... Baby, my dress. It's ruined. I won't be able to get the stain out." He laughed, tears streaming down his face.
"It's okay baby. Everything will be okay. You'll be okay and your dress will be perfectly fine." Someone came by and startled Joker. He almost shot at the man but it was a medic. He came over to me and him and Bruce put me on a platform. This is soft. The pain hasn't stopped.
"I'm going in that ambulance with you. If you protest, I'll shoot you and find your family and shoot them." I smiled at Joker. The medic didn't even try to stop him.
We were in the ambulance. I couldn't see anything. My eyes kept closing. This can't happen. I know exactly what is happening.
Bruce held my hand. Tears fell on my hand. Now, is when I realized that my breathing was so erratic. "Hey, Bruce. You've been a great friend. Thank you so much for everything." Joker was hitting things in the car. "You've got to keep an eye out on my man. He's about to go through a really hard time." I tried to finish but blood in my ,out caused me to choke up a little bit.
The medic was working on me. There's no use. "Don't talk like that, Maya. You'll be okay." Oh how naïve.
"Okay, Bruce. Don't get mad when it turns out that I am right. Please make sure he doesn't kill himself. I love you. Please don't forget about me." Bruce nodded, finally accepting that I wasn't going to stop talking like this.
The ambulance came to a stop. I could feel it. It was going to happen soon.
"Joker! Joker! Baby, please!" He rushed to me as we got out. I held onto his hand as we ran in the hospital. I was taken to a room and the doctors were afraid of him and I. They almost didn't want to come near us.
"I'm not ready to say goodbye. I haven't even killed anyone special yet." He laughed and ran his hand through my hair. I was in a different room. The doctors were trying to do so,etching. At this point, I don't care. It won't work.
"Don't talk like that, Maya. You'll be okay." I rolled my eyes.
"There's not enough crazy in the world to make me believe that." I started blacking out. Everything was fading. Nothing felt right. Everything was off. I wasn't ready.
I heard him screaming for me. The doctors were shining a light in my eyes and started trying to make me breathe again.
Must've been out for more than one second. I'm done. I need to be ready.
"Joker.... I love you." His face fell and he came to my face, kissing me.
"Maya.... I love you... Please don't leave me.."
There was no more pain. I couldn't even respond. My eyes closed. There's nothing but black. I feel like I'm fading. I feel terrible.
I died the day I got married.
