Lydia
I hold in a gasp as Captain Carswell Thorne drags me by my hand into my house. I can't believe he and I would end up together. He squeezed my hand and I squeezed back with a slight giggle. Some reason every time I'm around him I feel like I'm back in middle school, giggling and acting like a crazy fangirl.
Which makes me embarrassed causing me to blush.

"Spades, you're adorable," he spoke at my redness. I then realized that I had ended up against the wall. I felt him cup my face and I couldn't help but feel as if I had finally found my prince. He may not look like one or be the perfect boyfriend but he was mine. Mine. I grinned with hope, then I heard footsteps.

"Sis," Harley yells as she enters the room "uh sorry ......but have you seen Lucy?! I can't find her anywhere!"

"No, why something wrong?" I say as I place a hand on Thornes chest, a way to silently tell him to move so I can see my sisters facial expression. He puts on a pouty face. "Move, I'll make it up to you later," I tell him which makes his face light up.

"Of course my lady," he mocks as he fake bows.

"Mom," I see Merwin come into the room. Woah was she tall! I know she gets it from Rowan but I always feel like a midget compared to my own niece. I almost feel powerless. "I know where Lucy is,.....but hear me out before you go into momma bear mode,"

Lucy

"What do you want?!" Joker slurs as he sets his bottle down.

"Lu, this isn't safe, I don't think we should stay I.....-" I cut off Jermone.

"Not after we've come this far," I look at Joker in he eyes. "Hi, I'm Lucy...And...well I admire your work," I was trying to think of a way to tell him but how was I supposed to?

"Wh....what?" Joker slurs again, I couldn't tell if he was just physchotic or drunk or both. Jermone looks at me with worry.

"I like your jokes," I tell him.

"Do you now?!" He questions with a smile like no other. " Harley never understood my jokes,..... You look like her,....but you're .....more......-" he then burst into huge laughter. "Lucy you say?"

"Yes sir,-"

"Don't call him sir , he'll use it to his advantage," Jermone mutters.

"Don't you dare...tell this young lady what to do!! Hey,aren't you Jessie's son? Yeah, I heard a lot about you. Your mommas good at her job ya know!" Joker burst out with laughter again "but you don't wanna hear that do you?!" I saw the look of regret and shame pass Jermones face again. Making me feel so guilty for bringing him here.

"Wanna hear something crazy?!" I ask him.

"Darling I am crazy! Ain't nothin gonna shock me," he grins and sways in his seat.

"I'm your daughter...."

"What?!"

"Your daughter,."

"Well then," he gestures to the booth he was siting In. "Lucy,..... Why don't you take a seat and listen to a few jokes,.."

Ianthe

   When Harley called and told me everything I knew exactly where Lucy would be. The old bar  down town that's the one Joker always went to. He use't to take Halrey and I there all the time. And then I went there a lot  on my own to. Man,do I regret those days. I used those boys as toys and i shouldn't have but I did find pleasure in their moans of pain. I'm a monster. I know I'm getting better and will never be that way again but still,....I'm a monster. And if any guy  hears about what I did my past, he'd never love me. Heck, I don't even love myself, how could anyone else love me?
  I may be beautiful in the outside, I may be going to therapy to get better, have a good family, and be inspired and grow through my sister Harley, but deep down inside I'm ugly. And to love someone you have to love the ugly parts. Well I'm too ugly inside, no ones gonna waste their time trying to love me for I am hideous.
  

   I took Harley to the bar with me to find Lucy. Merwin begged to come but Harley refused to let her go somewhere like that. To keep her distracted Rowan stayed home to shoot basketball with her.  He told Harley to be careful that you never know what could happen with Joker. Lydia and Thorne stayed home in case Lucy came back.

  "Hey Ianthe," Rowan began before  I left. "Be careful and just remember you're past doing all that crap, don't give into it," he then squeezed my hand and grasped the ball and went with Merwin to the gym.

   Going into that bar brought back too many memories  for me. A dark haired boy, waved his drink at me, gesturing for me to join him. It made me think of how I treated boys like that in my past. So innocent. I destroyed them.
   Harley grasps my hand.

  "Hey, don't think about that stuff, Ianthe you're past that, you're better than that, you're not a monster,." Before I could reply, she dragged me to a booth. Joker was there laughing his head off and Lucy was there right across from him laughing right with him.

 
   "Ianthe,...." Joker slurred pointing at me "you come back to me,...." I cussed at him in response. Harley told me to hush but I told her Lucy heard worse at highschool. Jermone looked at me with sympathy. For that kid to be going through so much he's a sweetheart. I'm so glad Lucy has a friend like him, that boys gonna be something amazing someday.
  Joker looked at Harley with admiration. Like he wanted her, not for lust but for company.

  "Sorry mom but I had to meet him," Lucy began.

  "Mrs. Whitehorn I tried to stop her but....-" Jermone began.

  "Whitehorn?" Joker questions.

  "Rowan's last name," Lucy told him and I saw a look of anger and sadness pass his face. He threw his bottle in the floor and it shattered with a bang. I noticed something though. He made sure to throw it away from Lucy. He wasn't trying to hurt her. Maybe he didn't want to.

"Lucy you scared me to death I,-" Harley began.

"Don't punish her for coming to see me,..." Joker answered. "I tell ya' what, kid how about next time I come to you, huh? That way ya won't get chewed out by ya momma here," Lucy grinned in delight at this.

 
  "But you don't have custody and you're dangerous," I reply, not wanting Harley to sound like the bad guy.

"But he's not! He's my dad, don't I have the right to see him? At least some. Mom-" Lucy began screaming.

"Throwing a tantrum isn't going to work," I tell her. Harley shouldn't have to be the bad guy today she shouldn't have to yell at Lucy, but I would.

  "I'm not trying to I'm just passionate about this,." She tells me.

"Ok," Harley begins. "I'll have to talk to Rowan but Joker I don't see how once a month would hurt,-"

"Just once?" I hear Jermone whisper but Lucy was grinning with glee.

  "Better than none," she told him with a grin. I saw him grin back at her, a full happy smile. Jermone would do or be anything to make her happy. If only she could see that.

  "Deal dollface,-" Joker told her.

"With guards or some sort of protection," she continued. Joker then tried to hug her by she pushed him away. I don't blame her, she was a married woman and Joker would take advantage if she let him get close at all. Lucy didn't seem to notice, she was grinning and hugged Joker. That kids got a lot to learn.

"Ianthe," I turn around and see a man with dark hair, dropping into his face, his slender body bent over Bowing at me, and he then stood up. "I haven't seen you in years I-"

"I'm sorry if I took advantage of you," I begin, I remember this man. He was one of my firsts.

"I probably deserved it,"

"Don't be modest,." I tell him he smirks. His name was Will. And he was too good for me. Even if he still had feelings for me, I didn't deserve him. Not anymore.

A/N: thank you all so much for reading! I did multiple point of views so you all could see how the other characters are like. I have a plan for an Ianthe story next, so hope you all enjoy. Have a great day and be happy! :)
