A/N: Hey guys. Sorry, its been a while. I've had a MAJOR case of writer's block, and i'm just really not sure how to continue. Thanks for the wonderful reviews, and if you could, please continue. I need some inspiration, and if you have any ideas, i would really appreciate them. Also, idk if i should continue with this, so please review the story :] BTW I'm a beta reader now, and if you need help, i'd be overly glad to help (: lol

Disclamer: I essentially only own the plot.

Did you say it? 'I love you. I don't ever want to live without you. You changed my life.' Did you say it? Make a plan. Set a goal. Work toward it, but every now and then, look around; Drink it in 'cause this is it. It might all be gone tomorrow.

Bella's POV

If I could describe New York in one word, It would definitely be: different.

This was my first time in the big apple, and I was pleasantly surprised. There were tall building reaching up to the sky around every corner, and at night, they glowed brightly, turning the dark night into a sort of day. It was beautiful.

We traveled all up and down the streets, from Times Square to Grand Central to even Central Park, where we took rides in horse drawn carriages. And all in the first day! After we retired back to our hotel around four in the afternoon, Alice thought it necessary for all the girls to go on a shopping spree without the guys, and that we did.

Alice, Rosalie, Esme, Renesmee, and I left our Upper East Side hotel, and walked down a block or two until we reached the shops, where we stayed for hours. Alice was mesmerized by all the glittering jewelry, and designer clothes. She was in her own little heaven, along with everyone else. I on the other hand was a little less thrilled.

Don't get me wrong, it was fun, being out with my family but this wasn't exactly my forte. I preferred cuddling up on the couch with a good book.

The first shop we entered was a Luis Vuitton, where both Rosalie, and Alice I'm sure fell in love.

There were bags upon bags lining every inch of the store, starting out with small handbags in the front, to larger ones all the way to luggage in the back.. We spent a good hour in that store as Alice gathered bags for everyone, even myself. I had found I bag with bright colors on it, and I had bought them, but of course Alice sneaked me a few more that were very unnecessary. She even bought us all more luggage, although we already had enough seeing as though we had brought luggage here.

I couldn't help but laugh at her excitement, but the entire time, I couldn't get my mind off what the guys must be doing at the moment.

Edward's POV

The girls went out, all of them. Leaving me behind with my brothers. Great.

Both Emmett and Jasper were absorbed in their video game where they were battling each other. Jasper was winning, leaving Emmet cursing both in his mind, and out loud. Jasper had a playful smirk on his face, and his thoughts centered around the game. But every once in a while Alice filled his head.

Jacob was behind them on the bed, laughing loudly at the two. And Carlisle was in his bed room, reading a book about the seventeenth century, as if living during the time wasn't enough.

Everyone seemed to be enjoying themselves, having fun and making the most of their vacation. Bella finally seemed to come out of her shell since the Joker incident, and I was happy to see a real smile grace itself on her lips. It made my dead heart skip a beat, if that was even possible.

But although everyone was happy, I couldn't let myself be.

I mean, I had every opportunity to make myself happy. Bella was somewhat back to her normal state, my family was getting along, and we were in New York City. But that didn't stop the thoughts from entering my mind. The thoughts I myself did not know I could ever think again.

But here they were again, eleven years after I had first had them for Bella. My mind gets clouded as the thoughts enter my mind and I see myself following them though when I do, I get a sharp glare from Alice and the future changes back. Its me and Bella again. Our eyes full of love and adoration. Me and my wife, together forever.

And I want that, I do, I love Bella with all my heart. More than anything. But my feelings are beginning to change, and I'm afraid of breaking someone's heart, be it Bella's, or mine.

We spend our whole lives worrying about the future, planning for the future, trying to predict the future, as if figuring it out will cushion the blow. But the future is always changing. The future is the home of our deepest fears and wildest hopes. But one thing is certain when it finally reveals itself. The future is never the way we imagined it.

Joker's POV

I'm Late, I'm Late, for a very important date. No time to say hello, goodbye I'm late, I'm late, I'm late.

I hummed, as I scanned the room once last time, my eyes falling onto the figure of a man, sitting in a chair across the room. His black hair hung loosely atop his head, and his glasses had fallen down his nose a bit as he read the book in his hands. Sensing my gaze, he looked up to me, his ice blue eyes piercing mine.

A large smile spread across my face as I stared into Crane's eyes. Bingo!

His eyes narrowed as I strolled over to him, sitting down on the arms of his chair. His eyes stayed on me as I got closer, growing angrier by the second.

" Well if it isn't good ol' Scarecrow!" I greeted, smacking him on the back roughly. He grimaced once before regaining his composure, shutting the book in his lap audibly. He expression twisted into a grin before he spoke.

He took his glasses from his eyes and began cleaning them with his shirt as he responded.

" And if it isn't the crazy clown." He muttered sarcastically. It took all my energy not to snap his neck right then and there, but that would be too easy. What's the fun in that? Besides, if I was getting out of this place, I was going out with a bang. Crane wasn't worth it, not yet.

I leaned in closer to him, my eyes full of anger as I growled into his ear. " It would do ya good to uh realize I'm just as insane as you are. Don't- ah forget that. By the uh way," I said, straightening myself out and grabbing the book from his lap roughly.

" Whatcha reading!?" I asked faking true care. This caused Crane to jump up from his seat on the chair and lunge at me, but I swiftly stepped out of his reach, holding the book close to me as I read the title. I instantly began laughing, tears clouding my eyes.

" Pride and Prejudice! He he. Y-you're reading Pride and Prejudice, you really uh are a pussy." I snickered, holding the book out of reach when he finally stopped, crossing his arms over his chest and glaring at me.

If only looks could kill..

Suddenly, his arm flung forward, hitting me saquare In the jaw, and my laughs erupted throughout the room. Pain made me laugh, but lack of pain where pain should be made me laugh harder. He hit like a girl!

I stood there laughin hysterically as he came at me for the book. Holding up a finger, motioning for him to wait, I let my laughs die down until they were only giggles.

" You uh want the book?" I asked, holding it up in fron of him. He nodded once, still glaring daggers at me and I looked down at the weathered book in my hands, ready to give it tom him… in pieces.

I opened up the book, tracing my fingers over the pages and as I gripped the page tightly between my fingers, I flicked my wrist. A loud tearing sound breaking the previous silence.

The room had suddenly become quiet, everyone watching the two of us with curiosity. The guards even watched carefully, waiting for my next move.

Crane's eyes widened as i continued ripping pages out of his precious book before I dropped it to the ground and waited for him to pick it up. Anger flooding his face, he bent down to pick it up, but of course, where's the fun in that.

A playful smirk on my face, I kicked him hard, and he crinkled to the ground in pain, as he got up, I kicked him again and began punching his fragile frame, laughing as he tried to fight back. It was incredibly useless.

By now, the guards stepped in and I did my best to fight them off, encouraging the other inmates to fight as well. Most of them were crazed, with easily corruptible minds, so that's what I did.

A few manipulative words and they were fighting for freedom the couldn't achieve.

Freedom from their minds.

Their fighting was useless, but it sure as hell was funny.

After only a few minutes, more guards were called in and the chaos that had ensued was quickly quieted down. All the inmates were evacuated from the rec room quickly, but none were brought out as quickly as me. Three guards approached me, holding onto both my arms as the dragged me down the hall and into my room. My laughs filled the small hallway but they soon reached my room, throwing me inside. I heard the loud bang of the lock fell into place. A new round of snickers filling the air.

I could almost taste the freedom.

The hours went by quickly as I waited for my time to come, and I tried to pass the time with useful things. But nothing came to mind. And as the minutes flew by, bringing me closer to my freedom, my thoughts wandered to the beautiful, young Isabella.

Oh how I couldn't wait to see her again.

I had great ideas for her, for us. So many wild things flying through my mind. But first I had to find her. Though, that wouldn't be too hard. After all, I am the Joker. I can do anything I set my mind to, and if I can't, you better not be around to witness the chaos that would soon ensue.

Finally, the clock struck eight and I felt butterfly's flutter in my stomach in anticipation.

It was faint at first, but soon the wailing noise coming from the alarm reached my ears at deafening volume. Their were footsteps running down the halls, and pure chaos forming all around. People were in a mad dash to get everyone out, even themselves. So much that it was almost too easy for cute little Harley to whisk me away.

She brought me out to her car before getting into the Driver's side herself. She stepped on the gas, and the car raced forward, down the winding roads of Gotham, and away from the dreaded Arkham Asylum.

People filled the streets as the inmates were evacuated, and in an instant, the Building went up in splendid flames.

BIG TURNING POINT! yay, lol i didn't know if i'd ever be able to get this chapter out, but i did :] again please review. I definitely need them, along wiht and ideas you may have. If you help me, i'll help you! :]
