The heart of the joker

Chapter 15

It's been a week since I got home and Ash explained to me that a man tried to rape me in an alley on the way home and the Joker was walking past and randomly decided to save me. Because even though he's a criminal he can't stand rape.

But I've had an off feeling all week, like some thing isn't right, Ash thinks it's just my brain going back to reality. So I believe her.

I walk out of the bakery with Ash, saying good bye to the other ladies,

"Om g did you see that woman I served who had the wart on her nose?!"i laugh,

"Yeah all I could think of was where's the black cat?"Ash says and we burst into a fit of giggles,

"Excuse me miss?"

I look up and my breath is taken from me,

"Mr Wayne, h-hi.."

He chuckles lightly but smiles,

"Please, call me Bruce. You dropped your purse a few days ago and I've been looking for you since"

I take the pink purse from.his hand,

"HES NOT MY BOYFRIEND!!"

"then why did you save him? after everything hes done?!"

"i dont know!! i have and i dont feel any regret!"

i walk back to a room and continue to pack a bag,

"Ryder?"Ash's voice brought me back,

"Huh?"I look at her,

I then look down and I'm still holding the purse out, I bring it to my chest and look at Bruce,

"Ah..sorry got lost in my thoughts"i nervously chuckle,

"Oh it's no problem"

"How can I thank you?"i ask and Bruce chuckles,

"Oh you don't need to.."

"i want to"i smile,

"Okay, you could thank me by getting a coffee with me on Saturday?"

My eyes widen and a blush spreads across my cheeks,

"S-sure"

"How about the coffee lounge on 11th street, 12 o'clock?"

I nod with a smile,

"Okay see you then"

"See you then"

He walks off then I gasp,

"What?"Ash asks me,

" He doesn't even k ow my name!"

She laughs and links our arms and we continue on our way home from the bakery.

Jokers POV

I growl and get back into my car, how dare he. This is Wayne's fault and now he's taking advantage of her.

When I get home once again i stomp through the house and slam the door to my room shut. I punch the wall then put my head agaisnt it. Memories flood my head..

I then around at the gasp and notice a silver hairs girl trying to sneak out. I grab her and she thrashed about

"shhh, they dont know"she started to kick and try and get out of my grip, i let go but grabbed the womans wrists and tied them together,

"let me go!!"

the two men in front laughed and went back to where they were, I carefully lead her over to the wall but placed her a little further so she was on my own, and I could make sure she was safe, i lent closer to the girls ear and whispered,
