Meeting expectations

A/N: WOOOOOOOOOOOO IM BACK!!!!! (Well not for long) anyway finally updating this and well thank you guys for hanging on......

Joker's P.O.V

I had friends, not many but enough.

They never made fun of me for my condition and they always stuck with me.

I hated my crutches, they were annoying and all the kids in the academy pushed them over when I was sat down, the teacher always had to pick them up for me too, I went bright red every time.

Shepard...

She was my only friend, I always said I had a few friends to my parents and My doctor so they thought I had enough people around me. I didn't.

I didn't care that I only had one friend, we ruled the world together, she always said she wanted to explore the whole galaxy like her mom did, I always told her I'd fly her there in style, I didn't care what people said about me or Shepard.

Ever since we were little kids Shep would come to visit me in the hospital, no matter if I'd just come out of surgery or what she was always there when I woke up, even if she wasn't meant to be.

She still does now...

As we were growing up I developed what some would call a crush on Shepard and well over the years it just grew and grew, I felt like she loved me too.

She was like a big sister to me.

And then Hillary came...

Ughhhhhh, I love my sister but god she has a pair of lungs on her.

Shepard and I grew apart in the academy as we had chosen separate courses.

She took all the combat and handling guns and shit like that, but as I couldn't do that, we began to lose contact.

I missed her.

That's when things took a turn.....to shit

Bullies lead to breaks which leads to ambulances which leads to hospitals.

I hated every minute of the academy but I did come out with the best grades they've ever seen recorded in history so.....score one for me.

However in the academy is where I got my notorious nickname

Joker...

God whyyyyyyyy

Whyyyyy meeeee.....

What did I do????

All because I didn't smile, what was I supposed to do, not like it was fun being told you couldn't do it, that you couldn't do anything right.

99.9%

That was my end score and all because I missed a question...I didn't get it wrong I missed the question.

I was so annoyed with myself.

All the instructors knew it, they watched me miss the question and they didn't even tell me!

I was pissed off to no end

Anyway...

My grades were amazing and everyone knew it, this was the point where I had lost in contact with Shepard completely until...

I got a message...

Hey Joker, this your number? I hope it is, well anyway I got assigned and I heard you did too, mine was too the Normandy SR-1, I'm so excited as soon as I saw I was screaming like I was when we saw Eddy live.

Yea that loud, anyway hope you're doing well and keep going, tell me what you're assigned to pwwwwweeeeeaaaasssseeee.

Love Ya,
Shepard

The whole message stank of Shepard, all I could think about was how loud she was at that concert.

She had to carry me home because someone stole my crutches, she laughed for hours after that.

Several times after she had to drag my ass to a hospital for new ones, every time she laughed at me.

Wow I forgot how much I missed her

I replied instantly and we talked on the phone for hours until I eventually hung up to go to bed.

I was exhausted...

I just needed to sleep it off.....
