Harley stood at her desk frozen. What had the note said, meet me at midnight in front of the park. Harley's mind was a blur. She felt like she couldn't breathe. All she could think about was Joker and if he was okay. She hated herself for it.

"He just killed a man and I'm worried about him!" She thought. "I'm a monster..."

Harley didn't know what to do. She was confused and nervous and worried. She knew Olivia was downstairs and Harley did not want to talk to her. She couldn't leave without seeing Olivia. At that moment, she forgot why she was avoiding her. Then it hit her. A wave of emotions crashed on top of her. She was drowning in them and couldn't find a single breath of air. Her face went bright red and she remembered everything that had happened. Olivia was a liar and a fake and she had caused Joker so much pain. She was the reason he was the way he was. She had not only betrayed Joker, but betrayed Harley. Multiple times. Harley was so angry she took her chair and threw it as hard as she could. It hit the glass windows and they all shattered. Everything seemed to be in slow motion. The glass shards fell slowly to the ground exploding into an tsunami of deadly bits and pieces. Harley fell to her knees. She fell into piles of broken glass with tons still flying towards her. She didn't even try to avoid them, she just kneeled there and cried. Tears fell like raindrops every other second. Harley didn't even notice the pain of the shards digging into her skin because all she could think about was Joker. All she could do was cry. She looked down at her bloody hands and knees. There were so many cuts that pools of blood started to form under her. Everything had stopped. There was no glass left in the air but all over the floor. The only thing Harley could hear was herself. Crying. She heard footsteps coming from down the hall.

"Harley! Harley are you in there! We heard glass break and saw bits and pieces falling from above. We think it was coming from here! Open up, we need to know of you are okay!" It was Olivia. Harley stopped crying. She hated the sound of Olivia's voice. At that moment she hated Olivia. So much that she could kill her. Her sweet voice turned icy cold and she glared at the door as if it was Olivia. If she looked at you in that moment, you would feel her stare burn holes through your head where your eyes were supposed to be.

"No." Her voice was cold and her answer was short.

"What!!! Harley, are you okay! Open this door before I have the police break it down!"

"I said, No." Harley didn't take her eyes off of the door. She didn't even blink. Olivia had driven Joker insane, and now she was doing the same thing to Harley. Harley got off of the ground.

"HARLEY!!! OPEN THE DOOR!!!"

She walked to the window, Olivia's voice sounding more muffled and more quiet the closer she got. She knew Olivia was screaming at her, but Harley couldn't hear a thing. She looked down. Outside of her office, there was about a 20 foot drop. Harley then noticed a tree. If she jumped and grabbed hold of the branch, she could make her way to the ground without being injured. Harley had lost a lot of blood and was very weak, but she didn't care. She jumped to the tree branch, barley able to hold on, and slowly made her way down. She then realized her keys were still in her office, so she decided to make a run for it. She ran as fast as she could down the hill. She ran until she reached the park. She sat on a bench far away from the other people and fell asleep.
