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 9

When morning came the police had barged into the Napier's household and arrested Tony Napier for violently abusing his family and possible intention of murder. As the Gotham Police were pulling Tony out of the household, Emma and Jack were standing there as the watched the scene. Emma was horrified as she listened to Tony yell and scream and use every bit of profanity in the book. Jack on the other hand was smirking as he watched his father be placed into the patrol car. Finally he and his mother were free and finally he and his mother could live a normal life. Things finally seemed to be looking up for him. He had a beautiful girl who he could call his own, a loving mother, and a father figure to look up to. Now all that he needed was to earn a scholarship so he can get a full ride in a great engineering school. Yes life was finally perfect.

Later that day school had ended when Alessandra finally caught up with Bruce who was walking with Rachel. Throughout the entire day Ally was thinking about her decision on becoming Jack's girlfriend. Sure, she was unsure since this was her very first boyfriend but also because of the way Jack was acting last night it made her wonder if she should really stick around considering that he really showed her a side that she wasn't sure she could handle.

Once Ally made it over to Bruce he instantly knew that there was something wrong. Ally sighed as Bruce looked at her worriedly. "Ally what's wrong?" Ally shrugged as she gave him a serious look. "Can we talk privately?" Bruce immediately nodded and apologized to Rachel as she rolled her eyes at him. Bruce then followed Alessandra outside of the school to a spot they usually go to when they need to talk in private, it was a part of the school that was very vacant and rarely anyone ever came over there. Once they were out of everyone's hearing Ally then looked over at Bruce and sighed. Bruce placed his hands on Alessandra's shoulders and gave her a very concerned look. "Ally what's the matter?" Ally shrugged as she gave Bruce a serious look.

"Jack asked me to be his girlfriend and I said yes."

Bruce's eyes then widened in complete surprise. "WHAT?" He yelled, Alessandra immediately shushed him as she looked at him angrily. "Bruce please!" Bruce became incredibly angry and started to pace back and forth. "Ally have you lost your mind? You have officially lost it? How can you go out with that lunatic! He's unstable!" Alessandra then immediately stopped him. "He's not unstable Bruce! He has an abusive father who was arrested today because my father called the police on him!" Bruce then scoffed. "And what you think things are going to be perfect after that! What if he's just like his old man huh! What if he touches you and hurts you damnit did you ever think that way? NO!" Alessandra's eyes then started to well up as he was now in front of her.

"Ally I care about you and I cannot watch you do this yourself and if you are asking for my permission to be okay with this then you don't have it. I'm sorry."

Alessandra had tears running down her cheeks as she walked up to him and placed her hand on his cheek. "You're my best friend Bruce and if I lose you I will die. I can't stand this life without you." Bruce placed his hand on top of hers and kissed her palm. "Same here Ally, Same here." Alessandra looked up into his brown eyes and said in a shallow tone.

"Bruce… that kiss we shared the other night. What did that mean?"

Bruce slowly smiled at her and kissed her forehead. "It means that I… I love you Ally and I would do anything for you." Alessandra's tears that were rolling down her cheeks became even heavier as she softly smiled at him. "I love you too Bruce." Bruce immediately grinned down at her and was about to say something until she had cut him off. "But in a couple of months we both are going to go to different schools and what we feel for one another will fade away." Bruce then glared at her.

"It won't! Ally we can see each other every weekend! I can make this work."

Alessandra shook her head as she gave him a sad smile. "We can't Bruce. It's just not our time yet." Bruce then looked at her questioningly. "What do you mean it's not our time! You just said you love me!" Alessandra continued to cry as she took Bruce's hands into her own. "I do love you I always had. But at the same time I'm falling for Jack as well." Bruce then scoffed. "So this is all about Jack. It's really nothing to do with you and me. And what's going to happen with you and Jack when you go away to school huh?" Alessandra then shook her head. "I don't know and no this is not about you and me it's me telling you that I am incredibly confused and I am asking you to give me some time to figure all this out." Bruce rolled his eyes and slowly shook his head.

"Bruce… that kiss we shared was amazing and I felt it but there is something about Jack that I can't figure out. He has this hold on me and I don't know what to think, I'm scared Bruce. I'm scared because I've never had a relationship before with anyone and I don't know what I really want. I love you but your all I've known since the day I was born and I don't know if this feeling I have for you will last because I never got to know what it's like to be with someone else. Bruce you have Rachel in your life and you obviously love her and I don't want to be that girl."

Bruce scoffed as he crossed his arms over his chest. "You aren't going to be that girl! Ally listen." Alessandra then cuts him off. "I am going to be that girl and you know it! Please just let me try and figure this out Bruce. Maybe one day will be our time but it's just not now, you have Rachel and I don't want to stand in the middle of that." Bruce sighed and gently shook his head. "I understand." Alessandra gave him a small smile as she cupped his cheek into the palm of her hand.

"Thank you."

Bruce nodded as he gave her a serious look; he then immediately pushed her against the brick wall while Alessandra looks up at him with complete bewilderment. "Bruce what are you…?" Bruce then immediately silenced her by crashing his lips against hers. Alessandra was in complete shock but couldn't help but wrap her arms around Bruce's neck and deepen the kiss between them. Bruce wrapped his arms around her waist and pulled her tightly against him as he was now devouring her. Even though she pretty much flat out told him that she was going to be with Jack he still needed to have at least one more kiss from her, know how it feels like to have her against him, something to hold on to.

Alessandra softly gasped as he lifted her up and forced her to wrap her legs around his waist. Bruce broke the kiss and stared at her with such passion as she stared down at him and placed her hands on his cheeks. "Bruce… I." Bruce then moved to kiss her once again as he held her place. Alessandra softly moaned against his lips as their tongues fought with one another. Alessandra knew she was going way too overboard with him and she knew that she really needed to stop this before it gets way to intense and she wouldn't be able to stop him. Alessandra then pulled away from him as he leaned in to kiss her neck. "Bruce…" she said softly as he continued to kiss the sweet spot on her neck. "Bruce please stop." She whispered as he continued to kiss her. "Bruce please!" Bruce immediately stopped and placed her down as he saw tears now rolling down her cheeks. "Ally I am so sorry." Alessandra shook her head and looked away from him.

"It's my fault as well. Bruce you are with Rachel and I am with Jack. This can't keep happening. We can only be friends for right now ok?"

Bruce nodded as he kissed her forehead. "Okay." He whispered and gave her a small smile. Alessandra softly caressed his cheek and then pulled him into a warm hug. Bruce held her very tightly never wanting to let her go but he knew that if he didn't allow her to do this then she will never forgive him and that was something that he just couldn't deal with. Once they both made it back to the hallway they both went their separate ways as soon as Rachel had came into view. Alessandra thought it would be wise to give her and Bruce their space as she made her way towards her locker.

Once she opened her locker she then felt someone twirl her around and plant a sweet kiss on her lips. Alessandra was in complete surprise and opened her eyes to see who it was and to her shock it was Jack. Jack usually was a very hot and heavy kisser but the soft and gentle kiss he was giving her was completely new to her. As Jack slowly broke the kiss between them he then gave her his show stopping smile.

"Hey sweetheart where were you?"

Ally went to open her mouth and noticed that Rachel and Bruce were making their way towards them. The look on Bruce's face pretty much showed her how angry he was and how much he wanted to intervene but since he and Ally made an agreement he knew that he couldn't. Rachel was grinning like crazy once she saw the two and decided to make her way over to them. "Are you two a couple now!" She asked excitedly, Alessandra went to open her mouth but Jack then immediately wrapped his arm around her waist and pulled her against him.

"You can say that."

Bruce was now glaring at Jack while he went to kiss her cheek. "Ally and I are officially exclusive." Alessandra burst out into laughter as she smiled over at him. "You make it sound like we're the new hottest celebrity couple!" Jack shrugged still having that large grin upon his lips. "Well doll in this school we are!" Bruce scoffed and rolled his eyes. "Hardly." Rachel then elbowed Bruce and grinned at them.

"Well I am so happy to hear that you two have finally made it official. Are you both excited for the dance this Saturday?"

Ally nodded as Jack still had his arm wrapped around her. She knew why Jack was making a big deal out of this and that was because Bruce was now standing before them. "We are. Are we still going with your party?" Rachel nodded as she looped her arm around Bruce's who was oddly very quiet at this moment and time. "Of course! It's going to be so much fun! Ally have you found a dress yet?" Alessandra shyly shrugged her shoulders and shook her head. "I honestly didn't think I was going to go so I never looked for one." Rachel gasped as she placed her hand onto her chest.

"You don't have a dress! Well we're going to have to work on that tomorrow!"

Alessandra stared at her kinda hesitantly and nodded. "Okay… Can Marley come to?" Rachel grinned and eagerly nodded. "Of course! We're going to make you look absolutely beautiful." Alessandra smiled as Jack rolled his eyes.

"You are beautiful in no matter what you wear sweetheart."

Ally then grinned over at Jack. "Thank you!" Jack smiled back over at her and pecked her on the lips. "You're welcome." He said smilingly, Alessandra couldn't stop grinning and gently bit her bottom lip. "Well I think we better get going." Jack nodded as he looked over at Rachel and Bruce and saw the seething glare Bruce was giving him. Jack was trying to do his best not to laugh and gloat in his face for Ally but he honestly had to admit that it was so hard for him to contain himself.

"Yeah baby we really should."

He said with a devious smirk and gave a slight nod to Rachel and Bruce. "See you guys tomorrow." Rachel waved happily towards them while Bruce looked over at Alessandra. "Can we speak for a moment real quickly?" Ally looked over at Jack who shrugged his shoulders and dramatically held his arm out to let her know that she can go right ahead. Bruce gave Rachel a small smile as he placed his hands in his pockets. "It'll only be a second." Rachel nodded as Ally followed Bruce into an empty classroom; he then closed the door and immediately looked back at her.

"I'm going to tell you this right now. I don't like this, I don't want this happening and if he ever touches you I will kill him do you understand me?"

Alessandra gently nodded her head as she crossed her arms over her chest. "Bruce I understand…" Bruce then cuts her off.

"No I don't think you do! Ally if he makes one move to harm you I want you to call me, If he tries to force you into something you are not ready for I want you to call me, If he even tries to get to that point with you I want you to call me! This is not a game and I don't want you to get hurt! This is killing me inside but since I love you and would do anything for you I'm going to sit back on this but I can't guarantee to you that it's all going to be happy and easy when it comes to me and him do you understand? He is not my concern! You are! And if something happens Ally I swear hell is going to break loose!"

Alessandra nodded her head and walked up to Bruce and wrapped her arms around him, Bruce hugged her extremely tight and allowed out a long sigh.

"If anything happens to you Ally it would kill me, I wouldn't be able to stand seeing you that way and it would break my heart do you understand that?"

Alessandra gently nodded, tears starting well up in her eyes once again. "I do Bruce." Bruce then slowly smiled and kissed her temple. "Good… That's good." He said softly as he released her. "Well we better get going." Alessandra nodded as she wiped her tears away. "Yeah we really should." Bruce then gave her a closed mouth smile and began to walk towards the door. Before Bruce placed his hand on the door, Ally stopped him. "Bruce wait!" Bruce then turned around to look back at her as she smiled. "Promise me one thing." Bruce now fully turned around to look back at her as she started to laugh.

"Promise me that at the dance you will save one dance for me?"

Bruce then automatically grinned at her and nodded his head. "Of course." Alessandra then began to chuckle as she now followed him out the door. Once they were out of the classroom Ally made her way over towards Jack who smiled at her and wrapped his arm around her shoulders as they both began to walk out of school.

"You ok?"

Ally nodded and smiled over at Jack. "Yeah I'm fine." Jack then arched his brow at her as they now headed towards her car. "You sure? Do I need to kick his ass?" Alessandra shook her head and chuckled.

"No you don't, everything's fine."

She said softly and kissed him on the lips. "You and I are fine." Jack then grinned at her and placed his hand on her hips and kissed her once again. "Good! Great! Wonderful! Now let's head home and spend some quality time together." Ally then began to laugh and nodded her head.

"I think that's a great idea."

Hey guys so what did you think of this chapter? I would love to hear what you all have to say and I promise that the next chapter should be out soon. I know Bruce and Ally kinda got intense there but this is practically the first time they ever confessed their feelings for one another and for Bruce to be willing enough to allow her to be with Jack I can only imagine how extremely hard that is on him. So what do you guys think? Does Jack have a motive or does he genuinely care about Ally? What's going to happen now Jack's father has been arrested? Are things going to get easier or worse? I guess you all will have to wait and see! :) I also want to thank you all for taking the time to read this chapter and I hope you all enjoyed it. :) So thank you all once again!
