~Please listen if you wish to know today's featured song in this chapter,it truly is a beautiful piece.~


~Charlotte's Pov~



Charlotte...


Chaaaaarlotte~



H-Hello...




You left me to die....




T-that's not true!



Oh but it is,you left my convulsing body to wither in pain....and what did you do?




I called the hospital!



But you were TOO LATE!!!






I suddenly feel an invisible force restrict my body until I was completely frozen,I feel a cold slender hand move it's way up to my neck.



"N-no..." I whimper,gazing into the eyes of my captor,"J-Joker!?!~"



"You were too late little miss~" he chuckles sinisterly,his green hair now damp and greased back,"and now...watch as I...dispose of HIM!!!"



Suddenly,he raises his arms,summoning someone from the pitch black floor.





Oh no...

NO!


"Arthur!" I scream,wildly moving against the strong force"Let him go please!"

I saw his blue eyes,they were full of emotion and soul. It was Arthur, the REAL Arthur, I begged to my knees to finally see him again and here he was,restricted like me and absolutely petrified.

"Tsk tsk tsk~" the Joker coos," if only it was that simple for me,buuuuT!


He leans close to my ear...


"There can be only one of us in Gotham~"




He pulls out a pistol from his suit pocket,and aims it at Arthur's chest.



"NO!!!" I scream,".DON'T HURT HI-"




*BANG*



*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*





"ARTHUR!" I scream,jolting up to a sitting position,my heavy,shaking breaths echoing through the quiet apartment. I look at my surroundings,I'm in my room...



It was just a dream




I let out a sigh of relief,pulling the covers off of me and making my way into the kitchen. As I started making myself some milk tea, I checked the time.


1:15 am


At least I don't have work this weekend...




I sit down at my small dining table,my elbows on the hard surface as I sipped my tea. I gently close my eyes,letting myself quietly sing a small tune in a hushed whisper.

Note:play the song if you'd like,the lyrics are listed below~




🎼"I'm lyyyying on...the moon~"🎼



🎼"My dear...I'll be...there soon"🎼



🎼"It's a quiet and staaarry place"🎼


🎼"Times we're swaaaallowed up...in space, we're here...a million miiiles away"🎼



🎼"There's things...I wish...I knew"🎼


🎼"There's no thing...I'd keep from you"🎼


🎼"It's a dark and shi-ny place"🎼




🎼"But with you...my dear"🎼




🎼"I'm safe and we're..."🎼




"a million miles away~" I hear someone's voice chime in with mine.



My eyes widen...


I know that voice...


I slowly move my gaze from the floor up to the very person I had never thought in a million years I would see again.





~Arthur~





We just stared at each other,not knowing what to do.


"U-uh...." he stutters,"hi...."





I look around the room,then back at him, "...h-hi?"

I thought over what he could want,that's when my mind came to realization.


"D-did you leave something here?" I ask in a quiet mumble,"I-if you want it back by all means you can take I-"


Suddenly,I feel him grab my cheeks,smashing his lips against mine. My eyes grow even wider with shock.


He's kissing me!?!


"I've missed you so much~" he whispers, continuing to kiss me through his words,
"I looked everywhere for you*Kiss* I'm sorry
*kiss* I'm so sorry little miss *kiss* I should have never left you~"



I gently grab his wrists,"y-you don't h-hate me?" I question.


He looks at me with the most offended face,
"Of course I don't hate you~" he says,gently caressing my cheek,"I could never in this world hate you little miss,I...I was just angry...can you ever forgive me? And give me,just one more chance? One more,that's all I ask,and if I blow it you can leave me and go marry some handsome prince,I won't get angry....on second thought..."

He backs away from me,"who am I kidding,I should've never came back,you've already lived your life to the fullest,all I've done is out you down. Charlotte...I love you so much it hurts, and the pain is...indescribable,without you I feel that there is not point in life. I'm not a good person,I beat up penguin, and threatened CatWoman.However, you taught me the value of respect,and acceptance...".

He makes his way to the door,and turns to face me,giving me a warm encouraging smile.


"Live your life Charlotte,live it as happily and as freely as you can. That is all I wish from you...just smile little miss...goodbye".





He walks out of the door,gently closing it shut.
I collapse to my knees,letting out tears and gasps of shock and utter misery.
