Not being able to control myself, I took him into my arms and held him. Slowly his arms wrapped around me as well, but he was kinda tense, wich I could only assume was from the pain he had just experienced .

I pulled away and smiled at him with tears in my eyes.

He just smiled back at me and put his hands on my shoulders.

"Just look at you, you're beautiful' he said in a shy voice.

"Thanks, you got taller. You umm work as a clown?' I asked.

"Oh umm..yeah" He said blushing and removing his goofy green wig.

I took this opportunity to look him over.

The 13 year old boy was now 30 and really skinny. He definitely got taller and his fave was kinda long. His skin was pale and his hair was shoulder length but still brown.

"What brings you back to gotham after all these years?" He asked.

"I found a place of my own down here for cheap, plus I'll be able to visit mom's grave more often."

"Well thats good to hear, hey umm..listen I gotta get back to work. But you umm you wanna maybe get coffee or something sometimes?" He asked rubbing the back of his neck.

"Ofcourse I'll get coffee with you, ive missed you so much' I said getting excited .

"Okay, how about tomorrow. I'll pick you up after I get off of work. Where do you live?" Arthur asked.

"Off of Quinn street, its umm..kind of a run down building' I said feeling kind of embarrassed about where I was living now.

"You're kidding! Jenna, that's where me and my mom live! We could practically be neighbors!" Said Arthur practically jumping for joy.

"No way! I can't believe it! Well I live in apartment, 2B."

"Alright, I'll pick you up tommrow around 5:30"

"Okay sounds great, well hope you have a good day at work. Are you sure okay though?' I asked looking him over once again.

"Yeah I'm fine, it hurts a little but I'm used to it." He said making me feel really sorry for him.

"Are you going to get in trouble for the sign?' I asked.

"Oh don't worry about that, I'm sure my boss will understand. Be careful on your way sis."

With that said Arthur gave me a hug goodbye and ran off.

"Bye' I whispered before putting my backpack back on and picking up my guitar case.

As I walked up the long flight of stairs to get to my apartment building, I couldnt get Arthur out of my mind.

And I couldn't believe that I didnt notice that I was living in the same building as him.I guess since I was so little at the time I forgot to pay attention to my surroundings. Yet here I was now, and I had an opportunity to start fresh.

(That night)

After changing into a pair of black pajamas pants with red kissing Mark's and a red tank top. I made myself a simple dinner of ramen noodles and a grilled cheese. I turned on my small TV and flipped through the channels. Not much was on, except cheesey Romance movies and novelas. Just when I was about to turn the TV off, a certain show caught my attention. One I had been trying to avoid for years..The damn Muary Franklin show!

That's right, my no good low down father, had his very own TV show. He had gotten chubbier and his hair was grey. But his suites sure looked expensive and he looked happy. One he was on stage he began making jokes about his marriage and his new family. Just looking at him was building up the rage inside of me. All those years that I had lived with my relatives not once did he ever bother to check up on me. Not even on my birthday or Christmas. It was like he had forgotten that I was even his daughter. I bet him and Karen hadn't even told their new kids about me either!

I couldn't take hearing him or seeing him anymore. So without thinking, I took the fork that I was eating with and threw it as hard as I could at the TV. And screamed

"SHUT THE FUCK UP!"

When I had realized what I had done, I noticed that the TV was turned off. Thank God it wasn't broken.

With a sigh, I wiped away my tears of anger and crawled onto my mattress. Pulled the covers over my head and tried to sleep.

At least tommrow I had something to look forward to.
