Violets POV
-
I couldn't believe I escaped, it was almost like tears of joy and tears with fear at the same time. All I knew is that I'm okay now.
Lindsey tries to clam me down while stroking my hair "shh..it okay, it's okay." I then take a deep breath and back away out of the hug.
I'm a strong girl, I just don't understand why I'm crying so much.. Maybe it's because I always bottle things up and I guess today I let it all out.
"Wanna tell me what's going on?!" She asks extremely worried for me. I take her hand and lead her to the couch.
Suddenly I hear the tea pot whistle making me flinch. I close my eyes.. I've weakened so much because of this whole situation this is not like me, maybe it's that drink he gave me in the club and there are some side effects.
Lindsey gives a small chuckle "wants some tea before you say anything?" She asks reminding me of today when I went through the drive thru with the joker.
I shake my head out of my thoughts "uh sure.." I say lowly. she nods "I'll be back in a sec!" She runs into the kitchen.
I look into my phone and unlock it. I decide to check my text messages to see what the joker supposedly sent. I go and click Lindsey's name.
I furrow my eyebrows instantly to see that there was no texts ever sent. I scratch my head curiously, was he lying..
Out of nowhere Lindsey has two mugs in her hands and she passes me one gently. She later grabs a fluffy blanket and lays it on both us.
"Talk to me violet." She notices me just blankly staring at the tea. I shoot my head up to look at her I clear my voice and swallow the lump in my throat. I begin to talk with a shaky voice.
"So.. You're gonna think this is crazy but I'm telling you that what I'm about to tell you is insane." I warn her as I watch the concern in her eyes.
"Okay go on!" She says eagerly wanting to know what the hell is going on. I sigh. "So you know the 'joker' you were taking about?.." I ask feeling a tingle in my stomach to the thought of him.
"Oh no, violet that does ring a bell you said he talked to you! What did he hurt you?!" She asks jumping into conclusions getting shaken up. I shake my head.
"He didn't hurt me.. Well I guess he kinda did, but just listen!" I tell her about to explain.
She nods, "alright so that night when you left to go talk to the Bartender when we were dancing on floor, he came up to me again!" I explain trying to think back to that blurry night.
"Right as I left?" She asks sad, I can tell she was feeling guilt of some kind. I nodded.
"- and he asked me to follow him in the VIP back room and I did which was stupid, and he gave me this drink forcing me to drink it basically..." I huff think of how dumb I was to drink it.
"And you drank it?" She asks furrowing her eyebrows and taking a quick sip of her warm tea. I breath in deeply.
I nod in shame. "I know it was stupid, but I was drunk." She sighs and I continue.
"- and before I knew it I realized the drink was laced with some drug to make me go weak." I feel my eyes go watery starting to blur my vision.
"He then kidnapped me with his crew helpers and I was nothing but hopeless.." I finished leaving Lindsey to drop her jaw and sit up Straight.
"Did they hurt you?" She asks gently with apologetic eyes. I get flashbacks to getting slapped by the joker and getting thrown in my room.
"Kinda.. But I wasn't beaten up." I explained putting on a brave face not wanting to go in details. She nods in thoughts.
"But how did you get away from them and escape??" She said tilting her head leaning her head on her hand..
"The joker today brought me to some shooting range place, I'm guessing he took me because he told me he wanted me to be his sidekick and train me in some way." I say as thinking back to the moment.
"Sidekick really? Like his partner..?" She ask a bit amazed. I nod slowly, "I guess.." I shrug.
"That's insane, you know the joker is one of the most biggest criminals known in this world, he usually never would talks to most people.." She told me, letting me know the facts. I raise my eyebrows.
"He must of really liked you to just pick you out on the first day you ever meet." She explained making me get butterflies, as much as he is a maniac there was something more to him.
I pause.. I just really don't know what to say honestly. "Did I send you a text saying I was safe?" I change the subject but still wanting to make sure if the joker was lying to me. Lindsey gives a confused look.
"No? But I did call you a hundred of times to know where you were! I was so worried sick!" She said upset. I smile a bit "but I'm here now!" I say looking at the brighter side.
"And I couldn't be more thankful! Wanna still call the police on the joker?" Lindsey smiles but gets serious for a second.
The police wont do much.. they already let him out of jail those other times they'll just let him go free again. There's no point.
"I think it will be a waste of time." I roll my eyes knowing how sneaky the joker could be. She raises her brows "are you sure?!" She says a bit surprised.
I nod "they'll just let him go like the other times." I explain. She nods "guess that's true.."
"-but what if he tries to get you back?" Lindsey makes a point. I pause and begin to think. "That only if he ever does.. Not for sure he will." I state trying to avoid the fact that anything can still happen.
She gives me a worried look. "how about we try to protect ourselves for incase this ever happens again and maybe get trained by professional fighters.." She suggests. I nod, that's actually not a bad idea.
"Let's do it!" I say pretty sure this could help me improve on my fighting skills. I'm already a boxer and I used to fight against so many women back in Ohio and always won but real professional help can only make me pro so why not.
"Alright cool, I'll give the local gym a call and see what they can do for us." She says wondering off into her bedroom to get her phone.
I stay in the living room and drink my tea. Spongebob's on the Tv yay! Ugh I'm such a child when it comes to this show.
I look back at my phone thinking of when the joker lied about messaging Lindsey.. Why did he do that though.. I cuddle in the fluffy blanket.
I thought back to what Lindsey said about him picking me to be his sidekick, I don't know why it was me I'm not really that special..
Lindsey walks back into the room. "Okie soo, I just made the call and we are on the list and we starting this Tuesday." She says excited. I smile "awesome!"
A couple of minutes go by and me and Lin were just watching spongebob. "Hey um Lindsey..?" I looked down at my nails not making eye contact with her.
"Ya?" She answers. I look at the tv screen "who is Harley?" I ask to see if she knew who she was, for some reason I am the only one who just doesn't know much of the joker around here.
"Harley Quinn?" She questions. I don't know her last name all I knew was Harley. "Yeah whatever one who was with the joker." I say.
"Well from what I heard, that was his old girlfriend who left him for this group that is to do with the police and they go saves people's lives around the world." She explains with a shrug.
"Oh.." I slowly say. Sound like a nice girl, she's very sweet to help people around the world, that's more like the opposite of the joker.
I need to build my strength and get into fighting mode, maybe New York is more of a dangerous challenge than I thought, but me being the most bad girl in my old town in Ohio I think I could change a bit of the tone around here and show them who's the real boss.
"Wanna go get something to eat?" I ask bored with just staring at the tv. Lindsey turns her head to me "are you sure you wanna leave the apartment right away?" She asks seeing if I'm still not okay.
I nod. "I can't just live in fear." I stand up stretching. "Okay then let's go!" She stands up as well. I realize I'm still wearing the outfit the joker had in the basket for me.
"Wait lemme go get changed real quick!" I say running into my bedroom. It's felt like a long time since I've been in here. I notice boxes all over my bed, my stuff from Ohio must have arrived early yay.
I open one of the clothes box and pick out a decent outfit. I slip it on as fast as I could. I look in the mirror. "Perfect." I say to myself fixing my hair brushing it.
[ here is what the outfit looks like ]
"Lindsey you ready?" I leave my room closing it behind me. "Yeah I'm just getting on my shoes" I hear her yell from her room.
I take a deep breath in and then out. I can do this. I am a strong girl, I'm not gonna let any fucker get in my way from now on till infinity.
Lindsey gets out of her room and we leave right away. We enter the main buildings garage. I see my motorcycle and run to it.
"My baby!!!" I say happily. Maybe this day wasn't so bad after all, I got away from my kidnapper and later watched spongebob and now I finally get to see my bike.
Lindsey laughs. "Get over here violet, you can ride him later." She winks while unlocking her car. I roll my eyes "stop being dirty you nasty." I say jokingly.
I hop in the car. "Let's get sushi!" I say craving. She nods "that sounds so good!" She agreed.
This maybe wasn't a bad of a day after all. I smile to my thoughts and we leave off into the city.
