"So what made you change your mind?" I asked as we held hands on our way back to my apartment.

"Honestly I just couldn't get you out of my head.You make me happy, you make me feel wanted, and your so nice to me. After I made the stupid mistake of pushing you away I realized I..well...I fucked up."

I giggled at his choice of words.

"I thought forsure you'd never want to see me again Arthur" I said.

"You kidding? Being away from you after that night was killing me.Let me make it up to you Jenna."

I smirked, "Okay, let's go on a date tomorrow when you get off of work."

"Yeah we can do that, I'm actually supposed to go to the children's hospital."

"Aww Arthur that's so sweet, the kids are gonna love you. I'm sure seeing a clown will make them feel alot better."

"Yeah its gonna be great, I'm gonna start heading to work now."

"Okay, I'll stop by your work later and maybe we can finally go to the Carnival like we wanted."

Arthur smield and kissed my cheek.

"It's a date, see you later Jenna."

I blushed and waved goodbye before running back to my apartment to pick out an outfit for tonight.

"Okay..this...maybe this..ugh this shouldn't be this hard!!" I groaned as I went through countless outfits.

I knew it was just a date, but I wanted to look drop dead gourges tonight. I wanted Arthur to take one look at me and fall head over heals in love with me.

Finally I settled on a cute V-neck red long sleeved blouse, a black skirt with black leggings and tall black leather boots.

I brushed out my hair till it was wavey and flowed down my back. Added some silver shimmer eyes shadow, black winged eyeliner, red glossy lipstick and a little bit of blush. For jewelry I picked out small diamond studs and a choker with a heart diamond pendant.

And even though she didn't exactly match my outfit,I slipped Francesca on my back and when it was time I made my way down the street to Ha-Ha's.

As I passed by others, I got some disapproving looks. Or men would cat call to me. I just ignored everyone and just hummed happily to myself. But my humming came to a complete stop when I found Arthur outside of Ha-Ha's standing in a Telephone booth looking very upset.

I began to walk faster to see if he was okay. And nearly screamed once I saw him banging his head against the glass of the Telephone booth, shattering it.

"Arthur!" I called out making him look up at me with sad eyes.

Once he saw me, he kept his head down and walked towards me.

"Arthur, what's going on? What happened?' I aksed as he walked into my arms and I held him.

"I..accidentally dropped my gun in the children's hospital. I tried to explain to my boss that it was an accident. But he fired me..why am I such a fuck up Jenna?' He said on the verge of tears.

"Shhh, you're not a fuck e on let's get out of here" I said holding onto him as we walked.

"I'm sorry Jenna..I really did want to go out with you tonight. I always seem to have an excuse.'

"I understand Arthur, let's just go back to my place. I'll fix us something to eat and we can watch TV."

He smiled up at me, "You look beautiful by the way."

Once he said that I could feel my cheeks blushing.

"Thanks, I wanted to look my best for you.'

We continued to hold onto each other as we got on the subway. The ride was bumpy and many passengers got on and off. Arthur was silent and just stared out the window. I held his hand and rubbed my thumb over his palm to comfort him.

At one point 3 young men no older than 18 or 19 boarded the subway and sat a few feet from us. From what I could hear, 2 of them talked among themselves about getting a girls number at a party. And another one of them was eating fast food and was bothering a young woman sitting across from them.

"God what a bunch of jerk" I whispered to Arthur.

Arthur nodded, but as the conversation between them continued, Arthur began to laugh.

Everyone looked at him, and the young woman quickly got off the subway with a look of disgust on her face.

"Arthur, breathe, its okay' I said trying to calm him down.

But nothing I said seemed to be working. The boys laughed along with him and slowly approached us. One of them was singing this weird song, another took the wig that Arthur was wearing and snatched it off his head.

Arthur looked uncomfortable and I tried to pull him away.

"What's so fucking funny?' One of them asked.

"Nothing...I..I have a condition' Arthur said trying to control his laughter.

"I'll tell you what you got, a fine peice of ass right here!" One of them said as they yanked me up by my wrist.

"Hey! Let go asshole!" I screamed."

"Hey, stop it!" Arthur yelled as he tried to push him off me. But that asshole of a rich boy tossed me to his fatass friend and he had a tight hold on my waist.

I watched in horror as the other two punched Arthur till he was on the ground and they kicked him as well. Blood was gushing from his nose and more was leaking out of his mouth.

"Stay down freak!" One of them said.

"He's not a freak! Leave him alone!" I screamed.

The boys just ignored me, and the fat one actually had the audacity to put his filthy hands up my skirt to touch my thighs.

I glared at him, and elbowed him as hard as I could in the damn nose.

He groaned in pain and called me a Bitch, as I ran to be at Arthur's side.

"Arthur, Arthur please get up' I said as fell to my knees and shook him.

"Awww looks like really care about this freak. How about you come with us and we can show you a good time." I glared at the loud mouth who said that and I even spit in his face.

"Grab this fucking bitch, we need to teach her some damn manners."

I kept screaming no as they pulled me back onto my feet and wouldn't let me go.

My heart was pounding in my chest, and I kept praying to god that these sick assholes wouldn't have their way with me.

But suddenly a loud gunshot went off! I screamed as the boy who was holding me was shot clear in the stomach. And fell to the floor in a pool of blood.

Two more shots went off as another one of the boys tried to escape. But he was also shot in the stomach and fell against the doors of the subway.

I turned to see Arthur standing and he was clutching onto the same gun he had told me about before.

We both stood there heavily breathing as the fat boy tried to get away.

Arthur manged to shoot him in the leg and blood was being trailed everywhere.

When the subway came to a stop, we both watched as the boy tried to get away.

"Jenna, get out of here' Arthur said as we both got off the subway.

"I'm not leaving you!" I said as I fallowed him.

I could see that he wanted to argue with me.

But his complete focus was catching the last rich boy and making him pay.

I had to hold back a scream as Arthur shot him in the back as he fell at the bottom of a flight of stairs.

He shot 3 more rounds till the gun was out of bullets.

"..Arthur...what did you do?'I asked in a low voice.

He looked back at me with a look of shock. Almost as if he was in a trance.

"Come on we gotta go' He said before grabbing my hand.

We ran up the stairs and continued running so fast that I thought was going to trip.

And we didn't stop running till he leas us both into an abandoned bathroom.

When we were both inside, he locked the door and tried to catch his breathe.

"That was...insane. But it was out of self defense, they were gonna do things to both of us." I said pacing and trying not to panic.

But Arthur didnt say one word. He seemed to be..dancing...almost as if he was floating on air.

All I could do was watch him, and for whatever reason..his dancing seemed to calm me down.

But in my mind I was still scared...
