The ringing my ears hadn't stopped.

My eyes scanned everything around me, a brush of cold wind hitting my pale skin. The sun was already gone and I had no recollection of how long I've spent outside, sitting on this lonely bench.

I sucked in a shallow breath. Then another. It almost seemed as if there was never enough for my lungs to fulfill themselves.

Blinking repeatedly I straighten my posture shaking my head, the ringing increasing.

A rather alarming sound left my lips. It almost felt as if it wasn't me doing the screaming. Swallowing repeatedly didn't do much but to make me choke my own saliva. My body doubled over and the violent convulsions began. They numbed everything around me except for the ability to feel the pain and taste the blood in my mouth.

The ringing increased.

Sharp jabs to my stomach made me emit some sort of strangulated laugh. I pulled my knees to my chest, digging them into my chest hoping that it would help stop the pain.

Alas that did it.

Although my coughs had stopped they were replaced by laughter. The unstoppable cackle pierced through the night, alerting everyone in the near radius to me.

"Puddin'." Her voice filled with worry, though she didn't seem sad.

Tears were forming in my eyes.

I struggled to suck in my much needed air. "Get away from him Quinn."

A booming voice called, a guard.

I shook my head violently continuing my rhythmic and disturbed laughter. "S-stay!"

Through my blurry vision I could make out the guards taking steps back as she sat beside me. Her hand finding my back, caressing it gently. "Just breathe."

"I-I'm tr-trying..."

"Don't speak." She hushed continuing to rub soothing circles on my vibrating back.

My hands shot up to my neck. A yelp erupted from the back of my throat. Black spots clouded my vision, I pushed myself off the bench. "D-don't need your help!"

A sudden weakness in my legs brought me tumbling to the ground.

My hands still on my neck scratching at it, "C-can't B-breathe..."

The oxygen seemed to never get to my lungs. Strong hands pulled my hands away from my bleeding throat, holding them beside my body.

"Let me handle this! I was a doctor fer gods ache!" She shouted

Her heat on my body brought me some kind of peace, soft lips met my dry ones and my chest rose. The ringing subsided and so did the need for air, it was replaced by hunger.

Hunger to have her.

My tongue pushed it's way into her mouth and my hands made their way to the back her head, to push her deeper into the kiss.

A sigh from her sent a breeze down my throat. I chuckled pushing her off of me. Her cheeks were flushed as she sat on her knees next to my body. "What happened?"

"I don't know." I said honestly

"I-is it cause y-you don't want her?" Her bottom lip began to shake. Gosh darn, the mood swings this woman has!

It took me some seconds to realize what she was talking about.

"God no pumpkin'!" My body jerked upwards so that I was now facing her, "I want our girl just as much as you do."

Her blue eyes showed tears welling up in them. I hated when she wanted or was crying.

"T-then why didja leave...?" She sobbed pushing her body into mine, her head on my chest.

A small smile tugged at the corners on my lips.

"Because I had a bad dream." I encircled her, now my turn in rubbing her back.

The guards had returned to their posts by now which I was glad for, they needn't know what went on in our relationship.

The wind whistled and Harley's sweet sent began to dance all around us making me close my eyes. "Y'see darling I lied. When I was out I had a dream, no, more like a nightmare. That nightmare was of us and...and Lucy."

She sniffled and dried her eyes staring right through mine as I popped them open.

"Lucy?" She shuddered, I nodded cracking my neck in the process.

"T-that's the name I wanted ta, ta call her."

"Pretty crazy huh?" A deep throaty laugh left my lips

Her lips curved into her infamous smile, sweet and melodic laughter soon followed mine.

We spent a while rolling around the floor, laughing. No wonder they called us crazy. Funny thing is some people ride the crazy-train, but me and Harley, oh me and Harley...we drive that motherfucker.
