The Dark Truth

Haunting Past: Chapter 27

I get light headed and collapse onto the couch. j runs over to me then runs to get the fist aid kit. I break down crying. what have I done? my parents blood is on my hands. jack comes back down and kneels in front of me. "ive called cat and ivy, they should be here soon." although j had spoken I barely heard him. everything seems still, calm, too calm like im underwater. im yanked back to reality when j pulls the knife out of my hip. I scream in pain but he quickly reaches up and covers my mouth and then my hip with cloth. he removes his hand from my mouth to give me a quick peck on the lips then continue fixing me up. "how?" I whimper out. "how what love?" jack keeps fixing my hip but I look away with tears falling. "how can you love me after ive done something so terrible? how can you kiss the lips of a murderer?!" I feels his movements halt and then I hear tape. I look over to see hes patched it up and is now making sure it stays. when he gets done he looks up at me. j grabs the back of my head and kisses me with so much passion im sure im going to explode. "because, weve all done bad things, doesn't mean you are a bad person. were going to fix this." I nod my head okay when a knock on the door draws my attention away. j walks over to it and opens it but talks to the people before he lets them in. soon ivy and cat walk in almost sick by the sight. "okay, we have a plan." cat looks away from the body of my mother and kneels in front of me. "ivy will give you something to forget this, because if you try to lie in court and get caught it wont go over well. you wont remember anything for a good while." I nod my head. j and cat look at eachother and then at me. "we are going to have to rough you up a bit, to make this look like someone else did it." I nod my head and stand up ready for it. cat looks away in pain before punching me as hard as she can in the face. I barely move, use to sparing with her. "again!" she punches me in the stomach this time near my wound. I cough a bit and fall onto the couch. "im sorry lizzy." I hear cat whimper. next thing I know shes ripping the bandaging off of my wound and I scream in pain. "help me get upstairs." j nods and helps me limp up the too many stairs and into my room. I sit next to my fathers body. j knees down next to me and grabs my hand. "I love you so much, never forget that." he puts something in his mouth then kisses me with passion. I feel something enter mine, im assuming ivys thing to help me forget. he pulls back and sits on the wall across from me. I hold my dads hand as I hear the sirens outside."

end of le flashback

I wake up slowly to see im still on the gurney but im not strapped down. I look over to see j sitting their looking down as if waiting. I sit up. j's head snaps up to look at me. I feel tears racing down my face as I look at this man. I touch his face gently, trying to find something. I don't know what, but its something. I run a thumb over his bottom lip. I look into his eyes. this is the same boy. the same boy who was my first love, my first hope in life, the one who gave away his life and sanity for mine. "Lizzy, I.." I kiss him as hard I can before he speaks. the sparks igniting all the love and pain of the past. he kisses back with so much passion. its like we have both been deprived of air and were each others oxygen. I never want to pull back but I do despite my wishes. I look into his beautiful blue eyes and laugh a bit while tears fall down my face. my hands are on both sides of his face. "im so sorry. I should have realized you were going to take the blame. I should have accepted my fate, I.." j stops me with a rough kiss. when he pulls back he growls a bit. "quiet, I knew what I was doing, and I wouldn't have changed anything." were both breathing hard but neither of us let go of one another. suddenly something snaps and I pull away a bit. "Selina and ivy knew... they fucking knew!" I look around to see were still moving and I can feel my anger rushing through me. it burned like fire but I know I could get addicted. "where are we going? I want to talk to Selina!" joker shushes me and leads me to sit in his lap. "soon enough, you need to know more. the whole truth." j pulls a file out from behind him and hands it to me. its a manila folder that they would put papers in. I open it to see a picture of me and a lot of information. "I swiped that from Wayne's office. looks like your little boyfriend didn't trust you." the anger boils more and I laugh sarcastically. that's when something snaps. of course he was investigating me. and was friends with Selina and was instantly gone as soon as the bat pops up at the party. "that son of a bitch." I feel jokers grip around my waist tighten. i feel his hand slowly creep up my waist, to my arm and then roughly grab my chin to make me look at him. "don't worry that pretty head of yours doll, this night is long from over." he gives me his signature smirk and this time i cant help but smirk back. he was right, this night isn't over. Bruce Wayne, or should i say batman. I'm coming for you.
