Smile For Them. Book Two

Twenty; Devils doing

I had been messing around with my blades all day do I have to even tell you how boring it's been, thoughts staining my brain before I heard the van from down the driveway, a smile would usually appear but for some reason it didn't, I didn't smile, I felt as if something was wrong.
I walked up to the house, the familiar brick house, big, not as big as Wayne Maner but big, you could say it was like a mansion but I've never looked at the house it self until now, it was beautiful for Gotham anyway, I saw jacks men jumping out the van, then Jack appeared he saw me and smiled slightly, "hi" he said as he always did when I usual stand in front of him, "you look so serious! What's up?" He asked not looking at me.
"I'm bored!"
He turned towards me, "Hmmm there's plenty to do!"
"Stop!"
"What?" He said confused.
"Don't think you know what I feel like! You get to go out and cause mayhem, you get to do something fun for you all I have is my knives, I want to work, I want to go back to national city!" Do I!? Do I want to leave him?
"Fine, leave you're in my way anyway! Run back to daddy like a bitch you are!"
"Why are you being like this!?"
"Being like what?" He asked angrily.
"Like a fucking dick, why are you acting as if you have no heart!" I screamed.
He laughed, "why? Because I have to live with you!" He laughed again.
I saw red and I hadn't for awhile either, I slapped him, hard! He gripped his face and look at me, "nice hit! But don't ever do it again!" He growled.
"Why! Why shouldn't I! You're being horrible towards me for no reason, I don't get it, one moment it's I love you and next it's I pretty much hate you! Why?"
He waved his men away before looking me in the eyes. "You shouldn't hit people anyway!"
"What? No answer my question!"
"Because! Melody if I love you all the time you'd get hurt remember I don't exactly have the sanest mind and I'd manipulate you, make you do bad things that'll make you more like me and believe me, that's bad!" He said turning his attention some else where.
"Ha do you really think I want! To be like you?" I sighed.
He started to walk into the garden at the back of the house, "I know you don't but you make it worse by being near me!" He said looking at the rose bush, blood red roses as he passed.
I grabbed his wrist, stopping in his tracks, he turned to me. "Then tell me! What I'm I supposed to do because I hate being away from you but when I'm with you I feel not like myself! What I'm I supposed to do?"
"Erm not sure maybe you don't even know yourself!" He suggested, "maybe you think you're better then me or..."
"No! I know I'm not better because we're all equal!" I interrupted.
He rolled his eyes with a slight smile plastered on his face, "I wasn't finished! Or you like the rush that I bring?"
"The rush I haven't witnessed!" I corrected him.
"Well not the rush you want at least," he winked, "Only because I don't allow you too feel the rush you want!"
"See it's you who's keeping me here it's either you're too protective or you know I'll stand you up!" I stated.
"Fine go and do whatever you want I'm not bothered but if you end up in trouble I will know that you'll sort it out yourself! Without my help required" He said out of annoyance.
"Working as a team is better then being alone though!"
"Sometimes but not always"
"I have a feeling you're in a mood because of Harley?" I said quietly.
He started to laugh quietly, "Hmm no! She has nothing to do with our relationship" he said stopping laughing while looking at me. I looked back at him, questioning him, "don't look like that, I'm like this, this mood because I feel guilty for everything to do with you, you were so pure so innocent but I did something to make you broken, that hurts me!" He said sadly.
"Ahahahahahaha I killed way before you did and I've done worse things!"
"Like what?" He said challenging me.
"You know the Iraq war?"
"Of course I was going fight in it!" He replied.
"Well their was this world peace leader, ambassador person, whatever you them, he was in Iraq and I was assigned to protect him, he was there to end the war but if he died or worse got kidnapped the war wouldn't end and more people would die, I got sick of him moaning about the food he was given or his sleeping quarters! So I killed him myself!" I laughed.
"Why are you laughing, loads of people died because of your foolish actions, people who didn't do anything wrong!" You almost sound good, caring! I thought.
"I'm laughing because...wait I don't actually know what I'm doing!" I said confused.
"Ok...just don't make a mistake like that again unless there's a purpose!" He said turning away from me and sitting down on a bench a few steps away, I had never been in the garden before.
"Sure...boss!" I replied sarcastically.
"I'm being serious doll, have one or you're a bad person!" What's your excuse then!? I thought again.
"Everyone has a purpose!" I said leaving, I didn't hear what he said after I left but you can guess it was something like smartarse.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------
I didn't see him for the rest of the day not surprisingly, I presumed he had left with his men so I left for Wayne Maner.

I'd like to apologize for the fact that I'm not updating as much, I currently have a lot of schoolwork because it's my last year at high school!!! 😄
