imagine: you and harley get into a fight about the joker and she ends up hitting you.

"mistah.j used to love this t shirt on me" harley said, looking into the mirror as she pulled down the t shirt she had found on the floor.

you inwardly groaned, whilst rolling your eyes. recently, harley seemed to be talking about the joker a lot which annoyed you as the two of you had been dating now for three years and you had thought she would've forgot about the clown that treated her like shit. this was the third comment of the day, they were all along the same lines. something about him liking when she acted like this or when she did this or when she wore this.

"what's wrong? are you bored?" harley asked you, noticing something was off.

"no, no i'm fine.. just a little tired" you told her which was slightly true.

"i know it's something else" she sat down next to you on the bed, "come on, you can tell me"

"fine. don't get upset but i just don't like it when you bring up the joker.. i know he was a pretty big factor in your life but i don't like hearing about him" you told her.

you couldn't tell how she was feeling at first, her expression was blank as she seemed to stare into your soul. she then perked up, narrowing her eyes at you as if she had caught you stealing something.

"what do you mean? if it wasn't for him then i wouldn't be here today! i'd probably still be working at arkham" she told you, making it seem like she was defending him.

"yes i know that but i feel like you're still dating him and i'm the bestfriend who gets to hear all the gossip" you argued back, crossing your arms.

"well you're going to have to get over yourself y/n! he loved me and i loved him, you can't just expect me to never mention him again"

"loved you? harley, you don't call what he did to you love. he abused you! he manipulated you, hit you, used you! yes, he may of cared about you but you can't deny he treated you like something he stepped on" you shouted.

harley's eyes turned dark, almost a black colour which was a huge difference from her usual bright blue eyes. you backed away a little scared, but that only made her walk closer to you. she then raised her fist, which was balled making you flinch. you half expected her not to do it, you were hoping she wasn't capable of it. but that all vanished when you felt her hand connect with your face, sending you flying back onto your bum. you winced in pain, as you wiped your lip feeling liquid running down your chin. you looked down at your fingers, seeing blood had now coated them.

harley was now stood opposite you, her eyes wide in shock. she looked guilty, scared and upset all at once. you felt tears well up in your eyes due to the pain and also the fact that the only person you had ever loved had just hurt you. you stood up slowly, swaying a little but you managed to keep your balance.

"y/n... i-i'm so sorry" harley said quietly.

"don't" you told her, "i'm leaving, i don't know when i'll be back, but when i eventually do come back, i want you to be gone"

"wait no! y/n please i didn't mean it" she pleaded, following you as you walked down the stairs.

you ignored her as you put on your coat and shoes, and grabbed your car keys. just as you were about to walk out the front door you felt a tug on your hand causing you to stop and turn around. when you did, all you could see was a teary faced harley who looked at you with a sad yet puppy dog expression.

"y/n don't please i'm begging you!" she said once again.

"you hit me" you whispered, a tear making its way down your cheek, mixing with some of the blood which was still coming from the cut on your lip.

"i know and i am so sorry! i'm such a stupid bitch, i love you so much and i'm about to lose you because i let my anger get to me. i don't want to lose you, you're the only one who can make me truly happy, happier than the joker ever did. you don't hurt me everytime i mess up something or insult me everytime i say something i shouldn't have. just stay with me, please and i promise i will never do anything to hurt you again"

you could tell by the way she was acting and speaking that she meant it, and that was probably why you nodded your head slowly. she gasped in relief, before she rushed towards you and pulled you in for a tight hug.

"i love you"

"i love you too harls"
