Beautiful Chaos Chapter 4

Chapter 4: An Irrational Risk 🖤



Her face fell when she heard the undeniable pain in his voice. Once she made sure he was safely secured she quickly got in the front seat, started the car and zoomed off, dodging crazy people left and right. She kept looking into the rearview mirror repeatedly to make sure he was still awake and breathing. So far so good.

Unfortunately for Joker all this unpleasant motion in the car was making his vertigo worse and he even when he tried to close his eyes he had to stop because he was trying not to pass out.

Iris looked into the rearview mirror for what felt like the 100th time in the last 8 minutes and said "Hey don't pass out, we're almost there"

His ears were starting to ring now and he was beginning to feel the horrible sensation of nausea again. Once she made it to her apartment and got to the parking lot she hurriedly undid her seatbelt, got out and went to open the door and saw that Joker was slumped forward. She frantically opened the door and lifted him up saying "Hey can you hear me?"

He opened his eyes slightly with a faint smile and said for the third time "You're r-really pretty"

He was in a daze, but he almost felt as though he was in some sort of lucid dream seeing her face and her almond colored eyes staring at him, brimming over with compassion. She looked at him like a human being who really cared about his wellbeing. If this was a dream he didn't want there to even be an end to it.

Thank you, now I really need to get you inside, so let's go, come on"

She knew she had to be gentle with him but also knew she needed to hurry. She lifted him out of the car from under his arms and then looked around to see if anyone was around. She was relieved that she didn't see anyone.

She went as fast as she could possibly go, carrying dead weight to the entrance, hoping to God that no one would see her and just when she thought she was in the clear and right about to get to the elevator one of her annoying neighbors called out from behind her.

"Hi Iris, how are you?"

She thought it was strange that she felt the need to stop her just to ask how she was. "Fine, everything is great" she responded, while putting as normal of a smile she could put on, while under these circumstances.

"Who's your friend?"

Iris wanted to shoot this woman in the face right now, but she needed to act natural so she turned around slightly making sure she wouldn't be able to see her "friend's" infamous face. "Oh this is just my friend, uh...Mike and you'll have to excuse us, we have to get upstairs"

Joker began to retch and dry heave making this whole situation look worse than it already was. His headaches always made him nauseous and this was the worst kind of head pain he's had since he was a little boy. He tried to hold it in, but he just couldn't, but he was grateful that he only dry heaved and didn't get sick like usual.

He thought he did here someone's voice, but he was so delirious that he was not even sure. He just knew, somewhere inside his clouded mind, that he was safe with this woman that was hold onto him.

"Oh, is he alright?" she asked.

Iris rolled her eyes and then turned to her smiling and said "Yes, he's fine he's just had a little too much to drink is all"
