Author's Note: Hello guys, been out of the writing thing for a while now but I want to get back into it so I'm going to try doing short stories for a while until I can get back into writing longer ones.
This one is about Harley being jealous that Poison Ivy has moved on with Renee Montoya (or has she?)
As always, feedback is appreciated and I own nothing, all rights go to their respective owners.
Enjoy! X
TRY AGAIN
1
She was late again.
She was always late and Ivy hated having to sit at home waiting for her to show up knowing full well where she really was and the reason she was late.
Ivy glanced at the clock and sighed.
The dinner she had made had gone cold.
"Waste of time." She muttered to herself and then pushed her own empty plate away from herself.
Why did she do this to herself?
She knew it wouldn't work.
Every time she and Harley got together, the blonde would do something to screw it up and namely, that meant she would always run back to Joker.
Ivy's fist clenched on the table as she thought about what a hold that green haired dickhead had over her girlfriend.
They'd been together now (this time anyway) for almost a year and Ivy had ignored Harley's comings and goings because she knew it would take time for Harley to get Joker out of her system but it seemed like Harley would never be able to let him go, even when he pushed her away.
Why was she here?
She loved Harley, of course she did but was it worth all this? All this hurt and disappointment?
Before they'd met, Ivy had remained firm in her convictions; that humans were selfish, arrogant, pig-headed idiots who only cared about serving their own needs and were content to fuck up the world they lived in but then Harley had come along, had given her a plant when she really shouldn't have and something in Ivy had changed.
Clenching her teeth, Ivy stood and grabbed both plates, taking them into the kitchen and throwing them into the sink. They smashed and Ivy smiled to herself.
She liked breaking things when she was mad.
The sound of the door clicking open had Ivy's anger flaring.
"Red? Red, you home?" Harley's voice called out.
Ivy turned and straightened, folding her arms as Harley came into the kitchen, a big smile on her face as she tossed her keys onto the kitchen counter.
"How's my favourite plant lady?" She said with a grin as she came towards Ivy.
Ivy took a step back and Harley's smile dropped instantly.
"Red?"
"Where were you?"
"Well I went to...the...um-the-"
"Joker. You went to see Joker." Ivy snapped.
Harley's eyes went impossibly wide and then as quick as the shocked expression had appeared on her face, it was gone and a maniacal laugh bubbled up from the crazy blonde.
Ivy just stared at her.
She was used to this; the fake laugh, denial, soon after it would be followed by a long speech about how happy she was with Ivy and that Ivy was the love of her life, Joker was just a distraction and that her and Ivy were ride or die.
More bullshit.
"Red, you know-"
"No."
Harley's mouth snapped shut and Ivy made sure that the blonde was listening to her.
"I don't want to hear it. I don't want to hear how you love me and that we're forever-"
"But-"
"No, Harley. You will listen to me this time."
Harley swallowed and nodded as Ivy pointed a finger at her accusingly.
"You treat me like I'm an idiot. You lie to me, thinking that I buy into all your crap; why you're late most nights and I know you're with him-with Joker, and Harley...I love you-" Ivy admitted, her voice softening just a touch -"but...I can't do this anymore."
"What? Red...come on-"
"No. I can't be with you anymore Harley. The way you treat me...I don't deserve it."
If Harley's face had of been made of glass, it would have shattered. Tears filled her blue eyes and she reached out to take Ivy's hand but the red head moved back, out of Harley's reach. She was fighting back tears of her own.
"We're done Harley."
She then brushed past the blonde and walked out of the apartment.
Author's Note: Chapter 1 done. Short I know but things will heat up a lot in chapter 2. Ivy's trying to move on but it's not so simple for Harley.
