My father (part 1)
Lucy
Being the daughter of Harley Quinn and the Joker often makes the world look at you like your crazy. I've been called a hybrid, dangerous, slut so many times it doesn't affect me anymore. But mom always tries to fight the person who says these things. She does her best to shelter me from everything and wants me to have a perfect life.
My stepfather, Rowan, most people think is my dad. I mean, he raised me so should I call him dad?! Probably but I just can't. Rowan is an amazing guy and I love him like a dad, but he's not my dad. My dad is the Joker and I'm not ashamed by that.
No matter what society says, the Joker can't be that bad. And I'm his daughter and I've never seen him.
He's probably in Arkham right now being tortured to death. This kills me because if he dies he'll never know I existed.
Mom tells me not to worry about it, that he is abusive and that it's better this way.
"Mom," I begin as I sat on my bed and began picking at the covers.
"Yeah," she replied as she sat beside me.
"Do you still love him?"
"Who?"
"Joker," I mutter.
"No, our relationship was always one sided, but I'm not going to talk crap about him because he is your father-"
"Then why can't I see him??!!" I question, but it came out as more of a snap. My mom slightly flinched but didn't yell at me or have pity, she just gave me a straight answer, the same answer I hear every time.
"Because he's dangerous,"
Before I could object, Merwin interrupts me as she knocks on the door and enters the room.
"Hey mom," she begins but mom cuts her off.
"Merwin, honey what are you eating?" She asks trying to read the label on the can. Squinting her eyes, proved that mom needed glasses but knowing her she'd never get any.
"Nothing....," Merwin replied as she pulled the spoon full of chocolate icing out of her mouth and back in the can.
"Is that pills bury?" I whisper. Merwin nods and hands me the can. She didn't have to take many steps because of her long legs. She's 6'3, most people think she's my older sister when really she's younger. She's technically my half sister since Rowan's her dad but we're close like blood sisters would be. She looks a lot like mom but resembles Rowan in ways also.
I grab a huge spoonful of icing and take a bite. Chocolate is a girls best friend.
"Why are you eating chocolate icing?!" Mom asks with a look of disapproval. But she didn't stay mad long since she got herself a spoonful.
"Stress eating," Merwin replied.
A look of concern crossed moms face as she patted the bed for Merwin to come join us .
"You nervous bout high school?" I asked her. Merwin was getting ready to be a freshman and I a sophomore. She nodded and looked at the floor. "You'll be fine, and since you play basketball you already know people," I encourage her. Besides the high school we went to was for private kids who's families have special abilities or secrets.
Merwins a huge fan of basketball, and she's great at it because of her height. She even cut her blonde hair short so it wouldn't fall in her face while she made her shots. Now that's dedication! I tried to convince her to play volleyball with Amber and I but she refused.
Amber is the daughter of Wil and Amberle. Amberle died so it's just her and her dad. Wil is a pretty cool guy, he's half elf and has super cool elfstones but says they're dangerous and won't let anyone see them. He comes to every volleyball game and always yells when I spike the ball. But hey, that's how I get my anger out.
I really don't think Merwin should worry about high school. If I can survive it anyone can. You just have to stay away from the jocks. I didn't do that at first and it broke me. All because of James Potter.
James potter is the son of the one and only Harry Potter but this makes him really cocky. So cocky that it's annoying, and I would always yell at him to shut up. Apparently James is into girls who have attitude because after I told him to shut his pretty face up, he started flirting with me.
And I fell right into the trap.
See, when I started liking James, Jermone said
"Dollface, people like him aren't boyfriend material,he's just gonna hurt you so don't waste your time," Jermone is my best friend, I've known him since childhood. He's a redhead and always wears a leather jacket and is always smiling a monkeys smile. His mom is apart of my dads gang. I tried to get him to take me with him when he goes to see his mom; so I can see my dad, but he says Harley will hate him if he does so. He just wants to impress my mom because he likes me. Jermones' always had a crush on me, and I just can't see him that way. Ya know?!
So I knew that was the real reason why he didn't want me to go out with James.
James and Jermone even almost got into a fight over me once, it was pretty bad.
Long story short, James hurt me. Really bad and now I can't even look at him without breaking inside.
"Please,!" I plead. Jermone sighed as he takes a hand through his hair. "Listen, I don't care what mom says! Please!" I was trying to convince Jermone to sneak me into the bar. I know dad (Joker) was going to be there and since Jermones mom works for him, Jermone knows how to get there. He could come with me and then I can see my dad. It's a genius plan! If only Jermone would listen to me. "Please!!" I continue.
"Lucy do you know how dangerous this is and-"
"I need you," I say. I don't want to lead Jermone on but if that's what it takes to get me to see my dad then I'll do it. He looks at me like he's puzzled.
"Well.....," he paused and sighed "what are you gonna wear dollface?" I scream in delight.
"Thank you!!" I squeal as I wrap my arms around him. He grins and became stiff as he slowly wrapped his arms around me.
I was going through moms' closet trying to find one of her old stripper dresses, so I wouldn't look out of place.
"Why are ya going through moms closet?" Merwin asks; sprawled out on the bed with her phone in her hand. Most likely watching pointers on how to get more free throws in the hoop.
"Please, sis, you can't tell no one," I begin and she looks at me with curiosity. "Ok! Just don't tell mom," then I explain to her my plan.
I waited until mom and Rowan wouldn't notice as I snuck outside to meet Jermone. I wore moms gold and black checkered dress. Well.....it was shorter than a dress should be but it was still a dress. I curled my hair because the green looks more vibrant when I do so, and that's something dad and I have in common.
"Woah," Jermone mutters and I approach him . Jermone was wearing leather pants. And only leather pants. He said most people don't wear shirts to these places but I think he didn't wear one because he wanted me to brag on his muscles. Which he had little of.
Once we entered the bar I looked everywhere for dad but didn't see him. Jermone froze and I bumped into him. I was about to yell then I realized what he was looking at. A woman, probably in her mid 30s was dancing on a pole, her red hair flowing as she moved. Men hollered at her which made her grin. Jermone wasn't a perv, that was his mom. It must disgust him to see his own mother acting like a teenager.
That's when it hit me. Jermone was the adult at his house. If his mom does this for a job then she must make little money. Or she won't use it on her child. No wonder he always wants to hang with my family, they don't ignore him for parties. Wow. I saw the look of being ashamed on his face, along with a tear of regret for bringing me here. He probably thought I was judging him for this. I did the only thing I thought of, I grabbed his hand. He looked at me with sympathy.
I didn't look at him with pity, I just smiled and said "I'm sorry," he fake grinned and replied.
"Don't worry about it dollface," I squeezed his hand and I heard him whisper "thanks Lu,"
We walked forward in order to get away from his mom which was ruining the night. That's when i saw him. I knew it was him, not because of the beer in his hand, the green hair, or the freaky smile. But his laugh. My laugh. I found my dad.
