I turned my back only to see HIM facing me with that same smile like last time. I was surprised that he could find me here , in this crowded place without having a clue that I was here . It was kind of scary but a bit flattering. His action meant that he really wanted to talk without any tricks... I hoped at least.
Jerome: Good evening , my lady. Wow , I got to say I love your black shimmery dress. It really makes your eyes pop . To be honest, this is the first time that I don't want to literally pop someone's eyes out.

Diana: Thanks for the compliment , I guess...but wait... what are you doing here?!?
Jerome: what do you mean what am I doing here. I want to talk to you. Don't tell me you have a problem , doll.
Diana: Do you want to talk now ?!?
Jerome: Yup. In privet though , not in here. I don't really enjoy being near these bozos.
Diana: But where? I can't go anywhere else.
Jerome: of course you can! Don't you have someone to cover you up while you are talking to moi?
Diana: I don't know... well Eric can do something about it but...
Jerome: excellent! Problem solved! Inform that little friend of yours and let's go.
Diana: Fine...No tricks...promise?
Jerome: Cross my heart and hope to die in a pit full of knives , shotguns and ponies .
Diana: Ok then...
I later send a message to Eric to tell him that I was going out with Jerome and to keep an eye on Bruce. He should not let him try to find me . And full of doubt , Eric agreed.
So we managed to leave by jumping off of the balcony. That was possible because it was at a low height. He then led me to an empty park and we sat on a bench and begun our conversation.
Jerome: Oh , don't you just love the park. It brings back so many memories , huh?
Diana: Anyway , what do you want to talk about?
Jerome: anything.
Diana: you know what... I just ...don't understand you
Jerome: Nobody does
He said with a smile.
Diana: Why though?
Jerome: Just because the bruises and scars healed on the outside doesn't mean it had passed on the inside.
Diana: What do you mean?
Jerome: I mean being abused pretty much your whole childhood it takes a toll on your personality.
Diana: Being abused by who?
Jerome: It's too emotional , I don't want to talk about it.
Diana: I'm sorry...
Jerome: No I'm just kidding! It's just my alcoholic bitch of a woman mother used to beat me up when I was a child.
Diana: Oh...
Jerome: But it's alright. I got rid of her.
Diana: Why would you do that?
Jerome: It's what she deserved.
Diana: She had to be punished for her actions but not this way. Since then , you have lived your life as a criminal!
Jerome: It's better this way! I am truly free , unlike you. I can do whatever I want without a care on the world. You know, the people you call sane live in a prison full of lies. They pretend they are good but they would do anything to harm each other, they are just afraid. I am not afraid of anything. I am brave enough to show what humanity truly is....full of darkness.
Diana: People make mistakes but there is always that someone that will prove that they can be saved . Someone that can surpass the human limits and become an idea , give hope and restore the light. I have met that someone.
Jerome: Be careful , don't get disappointed when you see that no one is truly that way.
Diana: Maybe so...but all the people that try to hurt someone , all those who kill and steal like you they never manage to heal their inner wounds.
Jerome: You know I'm right . Come on , admit it!! You don't want to live like that anymore . You just don't have someone to motivate you correctly.
As he said that he pulled out of his sleeve a knife , put it to my throat and whispered " I am the one who will free you from yourself".
