Mona stopped chugging and nudged me ''Uh excuse me babe... but you do realise you have just caught the attention of Mistah J'' she said looking a little frightened. ''Who?'' I replied. She gave me a death glare ''Who?! bloody who? The Joker, the guy...
A few days had passed since I became conscious again. Yet I didn't feel alive, I felt more dead than ever. More lost and confined. Trapped in one of J's unused bedrooms. Everyday I begged Nylah for J and everyday she would say "I'll see what I can do". I would wait up all night for his presence until sleep would eventually pollute my mind. Every sound that resonated outside of my door would put me on edge. The door handle would turn and a fire would ignite inside of me, hoping that it was J on the other end. He would rush in and embrace me, cup my face into his warm, pale hands whilst looking into my tearful eyes
"My, my, my." He whispered, trailing his thumb across every inch of my face, as if recognising my features again.
"Oh, how I've missed you" He purred before planting a tender kiss upon my lips.

J found my eyes again and let out a subtle frown as he stood up.
"Wait - no, where are you going!?" I asked, panic stricken in my voice
J never said anything as he walked over to the door
"No, J please. Please don't leave me! I can't live without you, please, please" I pleaded
J stopped dead in his tracks as his hand remained on the door knob.
"You're gonna have to, Kitten" He coldly replied. Without looking back, J abruptly twisted the knob and left, slamming the door shut behind him.
"Liza? Liza, you still with me?" A voice spoke, taking me back to the room
"Huh?" I said, in a daze as I twisted my head back to Crane
"Sorry, I thought you fell asleep on me" Crane said, empathy leaking out of his voice
"I'm pretty sure my eyes were open" I replied, reaching out for a biscuit.
"Yeah they were... it was pretty creepy" He laughed.
Crane had been keeping me company recently. As much as I wished it was J, it had been nice. As unbelievable as it sounds, Crane was actually starting to grow on me. I wasn't sure if I was just grateful for the male presence aside from Nylah. It was weird her coming to check in on me. Don't get me wrong, I was grateful for all her help and her saving me but it just all seemed a little odd. A month ago I hated her guts and I'm sure she felt the same - and now she was painting my nails and braiding my hair. So weird.
Ok, not literally, but she may as well have been.
"As I was saying, we need to get you up and out of this bed. You're away with the stars Sheila, makes me feel... unwanted" He teased, pulling down his lower lip.
