Married To The Clown

Chapter Thirty Three 'Jessica'

Athena's POV
Drinks were flowing heavily and if it wasn't for the breakfast bar I wouldn't still be standing. At this point I honestly didn't know where I was or what I was doing. I hadn't been in this state in years!
If Jack was here he looked straight at me, shake his head and then look down to giggle to himself.
"Stop it Athena! You weak bitch!" I spat quietly at myself for even letting him cross my mind.
In three years I had not thought about him but being back in Gotham for a few short hours had him invading my thoughts.
I couldn't let him ruin my fun here!

"I....n...needzz...t..o..oo...m.makes...a...t...oasts!" Ashley called out slurring her words as she climbed on the breakfast bar.
"No you need to go to bed!" I exclaimed feeling myself sober up in the fear she would fall.
"N..no...one....l..is...sten...Ena" she sobbed noticing everyone was still too occupied getting wasted.
"It's because they suck! Come on I'll take you to bed" I grinned holding my arms out for her so she could easily climb back down.
As she stood back up she suddenly grabbed my face and kissed me.
"I...ove...yo..u...Ena!" She smiled dizzily making me giggle.
"I love you too, now let's get to bed" I laughed taking her arm and helping her towards the stairs.

After getting Ashley to bed I decided it was time for me to sleep too. I was going to need it in order to deal with Jessica. That woman had never liked me and found every possible reason to call me out mostly on how ugly I am. What were her words? oh yeah!
"Poor Jack! Why would the poor guy marry you when he could have someone who takes care of  their body? Urghhh don't be offended Athena I'm just saying I can see you back fat in that wedding dress!"
Fucking bitch!
She was also the biggest hoe known to man and if I was going to cope with living with her for the next few weeks I needed the patience of a saint.
But besides my husband being a complete psychopath and living with a hoe I was going to make this trip the best one possible.

Waking up the next morning I dragged myself out of bed and down the stairs to begin my marathon of SpongeBob because SpongeBob was my main bro.
Making my way into the kitchen I began making my breakfast to help cure the raging headache forming within my temples.

A lot of food.....yes!
Did I care?.....Hell no!
Happily carrying my try into the living area I jumped on the sofa and began my wonderful morning.

A while later a groggy Ashley joined me and began eating my breakfast with me. Before I could stop her she snatched the remote from the coffee table.
"I want to watch the news!" She spoke up switching the channel.
"Breaking news: Joker strikes again!"
My blood suddenly turned cold and it felt like all the air had been ripped from my lungs.
"Shit! I'm sorry Athena!" Ashley exclaimed reaching for the remote again.
"No leave it!" I demanded watching the screen closely.
I wasn't even taking in the news but instead I watched the screen waiting almost hoping I'd see his face and then I did.

God!
He was still the most beautiful man I had ever laid eyes on even with the new look.
He looked so dangerous, so ruthless and I found myself getting excited by it.

"Nope not happening! Stop it Ena!" Ashley protested quickly turning the tv off.
Letting out a sigh I turned to look at her.
"Ashley tell me honestly....how is he?" I whispered with pleading eyes.
"Pure evil! I know he was bad before but ever since he escaped Arkham Asylum he's even more twisted! It appears that whatever they did to him while he was in there sent him even more insane" she explained shaking her head sadly.

I didn't say anything else just nodded.
I felt quite bad for him but in a way maybe this was his karma. I tried to help him but instead he tossed me aside and had me brutalised.
Hearing that he was even worse did make me worry. If he found me my death would not be a quick one, no I knew he would make me suffer.
A knocking noise interrupted my thoughts and letting out a squeak Ashley jumped up and sprinted towards the door.
"That must be Jessica!" She announced making me groan and smack my head.
Hear we go!

"Hello Ashley nice to see you but couldn't you of had this wedding at a later date. Do you have any idea how hard it was for me to get here?" Jessica snotty voice called out.
She didn't waste any time in being an A grade bitch!
Looking towards the door I saw her strutting in, flipping her hair and being followed by two men.

One was Ashley's fiancé and the other was an extremely handsome stranger.

"Hello Athena" Jessica snorted in disgust noticing me slumped on the couch.
"Hi there Jessica long time no see" I replied with the biggest fake smile possible.
"Yes and I see you've gotten fat" she giggled nastily.
"Oooo really?! Thank you so much! I've been doing this thing called eating most humans do it" I exclaimed in cheer.
"I do eat too! I've just started an all raw diet maybe you should try it. Perhaps you'd have a chance of winning back your husband" she smirked.
I was seconds away from ripping that sarcastic smile of her face but instead I took a deep breath and looked straight at her.

"You're on an all raw diet? Hmmm doesn't look like it" I raised my eyebrow looking over her.
"What are you trying to saying Athena?!" She bit out, her face twisting in rage.
"I'm just saying it looks like I'm not the only one who got fat. Maybe it's time to go back to the drawing board love and get your bingo wings away from me" I spat shrugging my shoulders.
Letting out a offended cry she grabbed her case and stormed towards the stairs.
"If you need me I'll be in my room!" She sneered dragging her things up to her dragons nest.

Shaking my head I stood up from the sofa.
"That was pretty impressive!" A deep chuckle called out.
Turning around I saw the beautiful stranger approaching me, his shoulders shaking in laughter.
"Oh you think?" I whispered feeling my face flush.
"I'm sorry I don't think we've met, I'm Chris, Daniels best man" he introduced himself taking my hand in his.
"Hey I'm Athena" I smiled blushing crazily.
"I know! I've been told all about you yet nothing could prepare me for how beautiful you are" Chris winked making my heart skip.
"Thank you!" I giggled lightly.
"Maybe we can hang out sometime?" He smirked.
"Maybe we can" I dragged my words copying his smirk.
I had a feeling this trip was about to take a whole new turn....
