Athena has been married to her childhood sweetheart Jack Napier for 5 years.
Everything was going so well until her husband got mixed up in bad business.
Now know as The Joker, Jack forces Athena out of town.
3 years have passed and now she's back...
A/n Memories in bold I've been working on this chapter from 10pm to 6am I'm about to pass out so goodnight my loves 💚
Athena's POV Why was I so nervous? It was just a house, a regular perfectly normal house....... No it wasn't! That house is where my whole life was torn apart and any dreams I had of a happy married life were shattered like glass. I had no idea why I had asked him to bring me here, maybe I needed to come for closure. If we were to move on and live as a couple again I needed to make sure any resentment and discontent was settled. For the last few years I had been living in the past hoping and wishing Jack would come back to me but now I knew that would never happen so I wanted my heart to come to terms with the fact my husband was now Joker and a completely different man. I also knew that my will had to be strong if I was going to survive this new relationship. It wasn't going to be no walk in the park, Joker was a difficult man and coping with his anger was something I'd have to teach myself only this time I wouldn't let him use me as a door mat.
The nerves were so bad that my body began to tremble as we made our way down the familiar road. The neighbourhood looked exactly as it did three years ago, it was almost as if I was stuck in a time warp. I wondered if any of my friendly neighbours were still here. After J had sent me away I had thought long and hard about why none of them came to help. Did they not hear my screams time and time again? Did they not watch me get dragged into a van while I kicked and screamed for Jack? I didn't feel any bitterness towards them, they were probably just as scared as me.
"We can turn around Athena" J spoke up grabbing my thighs to stop it from bobbing. "What?" I asked shaking my head as I pulled my bitten finger nails out my mouth. "I can see how nervous you are, we don't have to go if you don't want to" he smiled reassuringly "No...no...I have to see it, I'll be fine I promise" I smiled back weakly patting his hand before gently holding it, finding comfort in his warmth. Nodding his head J continued driving until we finally reached and he slowly parked in our old drive. "Here we are dollface" he announced looking towards me. Nodding my head I averted my gaze from the house, not finding it in me to look at it yet in case I freaked out and wasn't strong enough to face the memories held within the place. "I'll be waiting for you when you're ready" J sighed and with that he jumped out the car, leaving me find some courage.
"You can does this Athena Napier! Just get out the car, everything is alright, you're alright! Come on girl move that booty!" I whispered to myself hoping a pep talk would get me going. Taking a deep breath I shook my head and grabbed the door. Swinging it open I quickly jumped out before I had the chance to talk myself out of this. It felt extremely weird walking up the garden path towards the main entrance. Emotions were hitting me from every angle and the closer I got the bigger the lump in my throat became. I felt happy, angry, sad, scared, relieved and did I mention nervous.
"Ah I see you've finally joined me dollface!" J exclaimed with a large grin.
