Authors Note: Ok after reading a ton of Batman Fiction I have finally been motivated to start my own. Now grant it this is my very first fan fiction so I hope you all will enjoy it. Now I'm just doing this for fun and trying to make this story a little plausible. This story is going to be in the present and in the past. The main character of this story will be the woman who has to go through this who scenario of chaos. She's going to be going to be retelling the whole story of when she was in high school with Bruce and Rachel and how she had came to befriend Jack Napier. Once that's all said and done it will start going more into the Dark Knight and how her life is going to be turned upside down. I really hope you all enjoy this story, Reviews are greatly appreciated and I do not mind constructive criticisms but just plain rudeness is not tolerated. Now with that said let's get on with the story! :)

Chapter 8

It was about 5:00 in the afternoon when Ally finally made it home. While she was driving back to her place she couldn't help but think of the time she had spent with Bruce last evening and this morning. She was so torn with what happened with them last night that it made things become awkward for them this morning.

She loved Bruce with the deepest pit of her heart and she would do anything for him but she was just so torn between him and Jack. She knew that Bruce would tell her anything to get her convinced that Jack was a bad guy but he didn't know the truth of what really happened to Jack behind closed doors like she did.

There were plenty of times where she wondered what it could be like to be with her best friend romantically and how would it be like if they were together and out as a couple but as the years would go by and seeing him with Rachel had only made things more difficult for her to understand what she and Bruce really had.

In a way she was happy to see that Bruce had met someone but at the same time she was somewhat heartbroken that he didn't try harder to be with her but at the same time she took this as a sign that maybe things were not meant to be. Ally then opened the door to her house, she heard the engine rev and knew that her father was out in the garage and assumed that her mother went out to get something for dinner. She sighed as she placed her backpack down and headed up towards her room before she said hi to her father.

Once Ally made it to the top of the stairs she then walked towards her room and opened the door to jump out of complete surprise once she saw Jack sitting there, glaring at her. "Jack! You scared the hell out of me!" She gasped as she placed her hand over her chest. Jack sneered at her as he rose up from her bed, jagged cuts leaving bloody tracks all over his arms. Ally's eyes widened in shock as she rushed towards him to look at his arms. "Oh my God what happened to you!" She said frantically as she stared up into his cold dark brown eyes.

"Had a good time last night?"

He asked as he menacingly smirked; Ally stared at him completely speechless; she honestly didn't know how to respond to his remark. "Jack I…" Jack then sneered at her. "Where the hell were you! I needed you!" Ally frowned as tears started to well up in her eyes. "Jack were you up here all night?" Jack gritted his teeth and roughly grabbed her arm and yanked her towards him.

"Were you with him all night? Did you have yourself a good ole time! While I was waiting for you to come home, needing you here? Did you have the time of your life? I sure as hell hope you did!"

Ally stared up at Jack and saw a complete emptiness in his eyes and became somewhat fearful. "Jack let me go! You're scaring and hurting me!" Jack then maniacally laughed and shook his head. "Scare you? Heehee HAHAHA I didn't mean to scare you doll!" Ally tried to pull away from him but his grip was so tight that she was very unsuccessful and this caused him to laugh even more.

"Jack stop it!"

She yelled as she finally was able to manage to get her hand free and slapped him across the face. Jack's head whipped to the side and sat there for a moment, his laughing completely ceased and then slowly looked back at her with his grim eyes. He saw how scared she was of him and realized how out of character he was acting with her. He slowly moved closer to her as she backed away from him, tears now rolling down her cheeks. "Ally I'm sorry…" He said softly as he moved closer to her, Ally continued to move backwards until her back met up with her dresser. Jack was now towering her and stared down at her scared blue eyes. He gently cupped her cheek and leaned down to kiss her forehead.

"I'm sorry for scaring you and I'm sorry for hurting you. I'm just so. I'm just so damn angry! I'm sick of what that asshole does to me! I'm tired of not knowing what it's going to be like when I come home and last night. He just pinned me onto the kitchen table and grabbed my arms and started slice at my arms with a paring knife! And when I needed you, you weren't there. I needed you baby, I waited all night I did and you never came."

He said brokenly as he rested his forehead against hers and closed his eyes. "You just never came!" He growled now pinning her body with his and his hands now on either side of her gripping the dresser. "I needed you." He whispered, his lips mere inches from hers. Ally's heart was racing a mile a minute, she honestly didn't know what to make of this situation with Jack, he was so out of the usual and in all honesty she was afraid to even overstep her limits with him. "I'm here now." She whispered, Jack stared up at her and slowly smirked. "Yeah you are." He then moved his head back with an eerie smile and moved her hair away from her face. "You are here now I guess you did manage to come back to me." Ally cleared her throat and cupped his cheek.

"I'm sorry I wasn't here when you needed me. I'm sorry you had to be alone but I'm here now and I can help you."

Jack smirked at her as his hands moved up and down her sides. "Yeah?" Ally slowly nodded, noticing that he was starting to grow more affectionate towards her. "Yeah but I think the best way for me to help you is if we let the authorities know." Jack then immediately glared at her and then roughly grips her arms. "No!" He growled, Ally frowned at him and gave him a pleading look. "Jack please… your father is physically harming you and what would happen if he went way to far next time!" Jack stared at her and scoffed.

"Like you really care, only reason why you are now is because you're scared."

Ally quickly shook her head, placing her hands on both of his cheeks. "Jack I do care, I really care for you I don't want anything to happen to you please just do this for me ok? Please let me help you." Jack sighed and slowly looked away from her. "Do you know what he'll do if you called the police on him?" Ally then quickly shook her head. "I don't care Jack as long as I know your ok and your safe that's all I care about. I can't stand seeing you like this." Jack slowly looked back at her.

"You're the only one I trust Ally. You're the only one who I can be myself with and if he ever found out that you were the one to call the police on him he'll do something to hurt you and I can't allow that. I want you to be safe and happy but I only want you to be safe and happy with me."

Ally looked up at him as his face inched closer to hers. "Does this mean you want me to be you're…" Jack then slowly smirked at her and nodded. "Yeah baby doll I want you to be mine." And with that he finally closed the gap between them and kissed her softly. Ally was surprised at first but couldn't fight the feelings that were consuming her as she kissed him back. Jack then took the opportunity to slip his tongue in her mouth taunting and teasing her own. Ally sighed as they deepened the kiss, she didn't know why but the kiss she shared with Bruce was nothing like this.

Jack was so powerful and so dominant and the fact that she was slowly losing grips as to what was happening made her realize how dangerous this could become for the both of them. Jack then snaked his arms around her as he pulled her closer to him. He wanted her, he needed her and when she didn't come home last night he knew that he was going to have to push harder for her.

Once they both broke away from one another Jack sighed and kissed her forehead. "Will you be my girlfriend?" Jack asked as he hugged her to him, Ally sighed listening to the beating drum on his heart and nodded. "Yes." She whispered and slowly looked up at him to see him grinning. "But only if you tell someone what's happening to you." Jack then frowned and looked down at her. "I'm not telling the police." Ally frowned and looked away. "Then tell my father he knows what it was like to be in your situation. If you can trust me then you can trust him." Jack irritably sighed and gritted his teeth.

"Fine. But he better not say a word you got that!"

Ally nodded as she took his hand in with her. "Come on." Jack then arched his brow at her. "We're doing this now!" Ally then nodded her head giving him a hard stare. "Yes now." She then finally yanked him along with her as they climbed down the stairs and headed towards the garage. Once they made it over there they both could see Ally's father working on the engine of the car. Ally then took her hand away from Jacks and then headed towards her father and tapped him on the shoulder. Her father slightly jumped but then turned around and smiled.

"Ally I didn't know you were home. Your mother went out to grab something to eat for dinner."

Ally shyly smiled up at her father. Her father then smiled back at her and then looked up to see Jack standing behind her. "Jack it's good to see you again too son are you staying for dinner?" Ally opened her mouth and then looked back at Jack who shrugged his shoulders. "Um Daddy we have something we need to discuss with you." John's eyes widened at first and immediately looked over at Ally.

"You're not pregnant are you?"

Ally looked at him oddly and shook her head. "No daddy I'm not." John sighed, placing his hand over his heart. "Good because if you were Jack and I would have to have a little talk here." Jack arched his brow at Ally's father while Ally rolled her heads. "No dad you don't have to have that kind of talk with him but we do have a problem." John looked over at his daughter completely confused. "And what is the problem?" Ally sighed and looked back at Jack. "Show him your arms." Jack hesitated at first but slowly walked towards them and showed her father his arms. John looked over at his arms darkly as if he was reliving a memory and slowly looked up at Jack.

"Who did this to you?"

Jack barely looked into his eyes and slowly looked away. "My father." John then nodded and then looked over at Ally. "Sweetheart will you please excuse us for just a moment?" Ally nodded and then walked over to Jack and gave him a reassuring smile. "It's going to be ok." She whispered and kissed his cheek before she left them alone. Once she was gone and out of hearing, John allowed out a long sigh and slowly shook his head, his eyes not meeting Jacks.

"So Jack when did you inflict those wounds on your arm?"

Jack looked at Ally's father completely surprised but tried to hide his shock. "I don't know what you are talking about sir? My father did this!" John sighed and then walked up to Jack and grabbed one of his arms and examined it. "These are very fresh, my assumption is last night." He then looked up at Jack with a hard stare. "Ally may believe that your father did this but I know better." Jack frowned and slowly averted his eyes. "I was losing her…" John arched his brow at Jack and slowly released his arm. "Excuse me?" Jack looked up at him and glared.

"I was losing her! She spent the entire night with Bruce last night and I had to do something Mr. Abberline I know you must think I'm crazy but I'm not! I really care about Ally and I'll be honest with you my father is abusive to me but that is something I need to take care on my own."

John sighed as he ran his fingers through his hair. "Jack… You have to understand that Ally and Bruce are really close and have practically known one another since the day they were born. And I understand that you have feelings for my daughter but this self-mutilation needs to stop! If this continues I will not allow you to be with her. She does not need this kind of stress in her life. Also regarding the abuse you are receiving from your father we need to contact the officials." Jack then gritted his teeth becoming furious that her father was pretty much telling him that he wasn't a good match for his daughter. "No! You don't know what he's like!" John glared at Jack and crossed his arms.

"Really I don't know what it's like? Let me tell you what my father was like Jack. My father was a ruthless evil man. He used to use his cigarettes to burn my skin for whenever I acted up. He once cut the brakes in my car to prove a point that if I ever go against his wishes again that there would be no guarantee which day I will live and which day I will die and that he has the power to make it so. Or how about this Jack he used to also beat the hell out of me, busted my jaw once and threw me down our stairs countless of times and I never said one word about it until my best friend who was Thomas Wayne by the way his father who also was a doctor insisted on examining me and called the police. The police took my father away Jack. And since my mother was dead and I had no family that I was close enough to so Tom's parents took me in."

Jack frowned never realizing how close the Abberline and Wayne family really were until hearing this story and suddenly realized how out of his league he really was when it came to Ally. John noticed Jack's demeanor faltered and then placed his hand on Jack's shoulder. "I know it's hard to believe that everything will be alright Jack and I know it's terrifying to think that there is a possibility that your father might get out of jail but you need to do what's right for you Jack if you don't you're going to die a lot sooner than you think and if you want to have a life with my daughter you have to make life safe for you. Jack I promise you that if you allow me to go to the officials I promise to protect you do you understand me?" Jack stared at Mr. Abberline and ran his fingers through his hair.

"I'm sorry Mr. Abberline but to keep Ally safe I cannot allow you to do that."

John sadly smiled at Jack and placed his hand on Jack's shoulder. "Jack it will be for the best I promise you." Jack then shook his head. "You don't know my father. Sure, your father is a terrible man but my father is ten times worse and he will go after Alessandra if you called the officials just to spite you and I can't let that happened to neither her nor you." John slightly nodded at Jack and looked away from him.

"Well I'm sorry to say this Jack but I do not want my daughter around that kind of lifestyle. So I will be honest with you if you choose to be with my daughter you are going to have to fix this or I will."

Jack's jaw dropped and became incredibly angry. "So you're saying that if I don't allow you to call the police on my father then I can never be with Alessandra?" John gave him a small slight nod and placed his hand on Jack's shoulder. "It's the only way son; I will not allow my daughter to go along with this." Jack sighed and slowly shook his head. "Fine but I am only allowing this because my mother needs to finally have a livable life and is terrified to go against him." John nodded and escorted Jack back into the house.

"Let's go make that call then."

Hey guys sorry for the extremely long delay. Things have been very chaotic in my life and I had to kinda go on hiatus for awhile but I'm back and I'm going to try to work on more of the story as I go. This chapter was kinda a toss up as to whether Ally should really be with Jack or not. I'm still kinda debating on who she should end up with but I thought I would show you guys how unstable Jack can be. I would love to hear what you all have to say and I promise that the next chapter should be out soon. And just a heads up I appreciate criticism just not overly rude criticism. I also want to thank you all for taking the time to read this chapter and I hope you all enjoyed it. :) Also I promise for the Bruce fan's that Bruce will be in the next chapter. Thank you all once again! :)
