They had two weeks now before Megan's trial. Sarah was soon depressed again. She was felt since her testimony was close, she felt The Joker was in her head. Even if he gets the death penalty, he could easily escape before that day came. She could feel it.

Mr Gold was working that day in the shop since they didn't have to go to trial in two weeks. In just a couple of days his daughter would be in therapy. He just hope it would be alright.

Sarah came to the pay phone outside of the house again and had extra money this time and called the jail Arthur was in. She knew she shouldn't, but she just wanted to check on him. Jessie was close by to watch over her.

Suddenly his attention was caught by people screaming. In a police car he saw The Joker in the driver seat speeding away. The supporters of Joker noticed and yelled angrily at him.

Jessie ran to Sarah and hung up the phone. He took her hand and ran with her to Gold's pawn shop. Sarah found out what was going on and her aniexty came back. Her trauma swept over her. Mr Gold saw her and Jessie confused, "hey kids, what's wrong?"

"The Joker...he...," Jessie shivered, "he escaped."

Mr Gold looked worried and went to Sarah and held her.

"Blackgate is the worst jail in America, why is he always managing to break out!" He growled. He then sighed as he rubbed her back, "It'll be alright, sweetheart. "

Jessie nodded, "Joker's goons and all of his supporters will keep you safe. That's what he'd want. I can make a call and have them all here in five minutes!"

Gold frowned, "how do you know his goons and supporters? Don't tell me you're mixed up in this too?!"

"Oh...uh...no. I just ran into one of them and they told me," Jessie lied. He was hoping Gold would buy it. He did.

"Well, Good, I don't want my daughter fall into that again," he told Jessie, "Joker hurt her and they shouldn't get back together."

She sighed and hurt when he said that jerked away. She then ran back home. Jessie then ran out and followed her.

She got home and Jessie followed her home, "I'm sorry, but I did tell you. He just wants me away from Joker, but I can't. I-I love him. He didn't mean to hurt me earlier, his ex is trying to get rid of me."

"Harley?" Jessie was shocked, "she only likes him because he is like the other Joker she fell for too."

"....w-WHAT?" Harley fell for The Joker? The evil, demonic Joker!? She was in shock.

"Y-yeah, I thought you knew. But she obviously wants your Joker because he is the talk of the city. One of the supporters told me that she use to be The Joker's doctor before he became The Joker years ago. Harley use to be a physicist and The Joker's doctor. She even fell for him hard. But The Joker didn't even noticed. When our Joker was noticed in the city, she heard of him and fell for him instead. After The Joker became Joker's copycat, she became Harley Quinn so she would be noticed by Joker. She was caught and put in Arkham for her strange behavior."

Sarah in shock. This Harley was definitely crazy. She fell for her monster...and then her hero? But she was definitely like The Joker...she was obsessed with Arthur and would do anything to make him hers.

Before they could say anything, Mr Gold came in and he frowned, "tell me you moved on from him. If you did you wouldn't run like that."

"...," Sarah couldn't speak.

"Jessie here I am guessing is just a friend, not your boyfriend?"

"Well of course-"

"Jessie...you can stop..." Sarah said looking down. "He isn't, papa..."

Mr Gold frowned hearing this. "Jessie, how old are you really?"

"...16 sir..." Jessie said.

This whole time he thought he was atleast 18 or 19.

"...thank you for walking my daughter home...you may leave."

"...," Jessie was nervous thinking he made everything worse.

"Leave!" Gold said sternly and Jessie rushed out.

[There should be a GIF or video here. Update the app now to see it.]

Gold then turned to Sarah. She then looked up at him sadly.

"You haven't moved on, have you?"

"...no Papa, I still-"

"YOU'VE BEEN LYING TO ME!?" He yelled at her.

He never yelled at her and this frightened her.

"How long have you been lying to me?" He said angrily gritting his teeth. "TELL ME!" He pushed a marble stand beside them to make her speak. It crashed to the hard wooden floor and she shivered by his outburst. "I'm sorry, Pa-"

"DON'T APOLOGIZE! TELL ME HOW LONG!" Gold yelled again. He didn't care she was crying or scared. He was angry with her.

"...," she tried to speak, but was to frightened to.

"Sarah! WE HAD A DEAL! A DEAL! NO ONE BREAKS DEALS WITH ME!" He was so angry that he threw another marble stand nearby. "NO ONE!"

"...not long...only a week..."

"A week is too long," Gold said, still angry. "HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME!? I'M YOUR FATHER! You don't know how hard I try everything to make you happy! I stay awake at night to watch over you! Hear your screams so I can show you that I would never...EVER...let anyone hurt you! And this is how you treat me? LYING TO MY DAMN FACE!?"

Sarah teared up again. "I'm...I'm sorry Pa-"

"STOP!!" He yelled, then took a deep breath, trying to calm down. but it wasn't really working, "....you're always lying to me. You lied about him being in your room, you broke my trust and then I trusted you again to stay away from him and move on! Tell me...tell me you haven't seen him or spoken to him?"

"...I haven't seen him...but...I have been talking to him...only once...I was going to today, but I wasn't able to...," she said truthfully.

".....," Gold sighed, "Sarah, you do know there's no happy ending for you and him, no matter how much you love him. You won't get married and have kids, and move out to the country. That type of life isn't for him. He's changed, but you'll always be at risk of The Joker, Harley Quinn, or whatever other enemies he's made over the years."

She was now hurt. He read her journal. She wrote that wishing that life that her and Joker/Arthur would have a happily ever after. A family. He invaded her privacy...how could he do that? She teared up and looked at her father angrily. "He promise...he promised he would do anything to protect me and you..."

Gold was now angry that's when he yelled at her for some sense into her, but held back. "Yes and as part of that promise he also promised me years ago, when you were only 17 that he wouldn't get into a relationship with you! And he broke that promise! Or actually, maybe he didn't because you can't have a relationship with someone who spends most of their time behind bars, either in a mental hospital or jail cell! Your hero is actually just a mentally unstable jailbird! And just because you let him have his wicked way with you, doesn't make it a relationship either!"

"....," Sarah teared up hearing him say this. It really hurt her that her father would say this to her.

Gold now had enough. He stormed to the door and slammed it shut heading back to the shop.

That night it was late and he hadn't come home yet. Sarah laid in bed worrying him. She then heard his footsteps in the hallway, but instead of coming in to tuck her in, he went straight to his room.

Even that night when she had a nightmare...she screamed....but he didn't come in. Sarah could tell now he was really hurt. She reached in her night stand and held her pocket knife. She started to cry holding it....
