He Lived For Her~ A Joker Story

Chapter 38- New Feelings

She chuckled slightly at my actions.
"Were you going to hit me?"

"Yes" I replied through gritted teeth

"Wow" she smirked "go on, do it! I fucking dare you!"

"DON'T PUSH ME IVY" I warned loudly

"I already did" she laughed, trying to be smart.

"I'm going to the fucking meeting" I growled

"All these meetings, it makes me think" she said "makes me think you're seeing someone"
She then chuckled again.

"Don't start this pathetic, 'basic couple' argument Ivy"

"Well it's true!" She shouted, I could see her tears brimming.

I just rolled my eyes.
"I can't be bothered with this"

"Well I can't be bothered WITH YOU!" She cried, storming back to her car.

"IVY!"

"NO!"

"DON'T GET IN THAT FUCKING CAR!" I shouted, running after her

"I CANT DO THIS ANYMORE!" Tears were racing down her cheeks

She opened the car door, but I grabbed her, turning  her around and kissing her aggressively just to stop her...but she immediately pulled away and slapped me around the face.
"NOT THIS TIME!"

She got in the car, and started to drive away.
I couldn't let her leave, so I pulled out my gun and shot all four tyres.

When she realised what I was doing, she stopped the car immediately, and just sat in the drivers seat crying into her hands.

For once- I felt a weird feeling in my stomach.
Was I feeling...guilt?

I dropped the gun and walked to her car door.
I opened it and she whimpered, expecting violence.

I sighed, then leant down.
"Don't cry" I managed to say without anger in my tone.

She looked at me, and her little eyes were red.
I wanted to hold her..
"No I don't!!" I thought, trying to keep myself together.

"I can't do this anymore, it's too hard now...I can't do this on my own"

Do what on her own?

"Never mind" she sniffled afterward.

"I um..I won't go to the meeting" I mumbled "but come inside"

Ivy slowly got out the car and walked to the mansion, without even glancing at me.
The rubbed the sides of her arms as the night air was nipping at her.

I watched her stumble away, and I felt the feeling again in my stomach.
I didn't know what it was- I'd never experienced it before...

-IVYS POV-

It had been half an hour since what happened outside.
I had gone to the bedroom to calm myself down, but joker had stayed outside for some reason.
He had probably gone to that stupid meeting, but I wasn't sure..

When I was now calm and collected, I decided to look outside and see where he was.

I opened the large main doors, and looked around.
His car was still there, but then I saw him sat against it, playing with a lighter.
His pale skin glistened against the pale moonlight, it was a beautiful sight.

"Come inside" I said as I approached him.

When I finally stood In front of him, I looked down and examined his face better.

He had tear trails down his cheek...

Was he...crying!?

I knelt down in front of him and took the lighter off him what he was still fiddling with.

"Give me it back" he mumbled

"No"

He sighed, and a weak grin draped across his face.
"Why don't you ever listen to me?"

"I don't even listen to myself" I joked quietly.

He chucked slightly.
"Hm"

I felt his hand and it was as cold as Ice, but then I felt him interlock our fingers.
"You're warm" he said wearily

"And you're cold" I laughed "come inside"

I helped him stand up, and we walked back to the mansion in silence.

However, when I looked up at him, the trails on his cheeks glistened under the starlight.

It was a beautiful sight to see, but also a strange one...
