The President Broken Angel

Later that night! Jhonia sat inside her room when she suddenly heard the sound of sirens. Blue and red rays flashing. She then realized that the sound was getting closer and closer. Soon after the doorbell rings. She got and walked to the door and out of her room, she met Mrs. Pinnock in the hallway.

“I will get it.” Jhonia said, going down the stairs.

“No, Jhonia let” Jhonia reached up to the door, as she had rushed down the stairs. She opened the door, cutting Mrs. Pinnock off. Nearce stood in the arms of the police officers.

“Junior” Jhonia mumbled but was cut by Nearce hugging onto her, her eyes widened with surprise seeing Junior there. They leave after handing over his car keys.

“Omg, you smell!” Jhonia confessed to Nearce being reeked of alcohol. Jhonia pushed him back and realized he had cuts on his face, Jhonia sighed.

“You are still here!” Nearce said to her, and immediately hugged her.

“You not only drank but were also fighting and that is all you have to say? You are still here!” Jhonia said to him, telling what he went out and then asked? Repeating what he said to her before hugging her.

“He decided to change when it’s too late!” Mrs. Pinnock stated above the staircase looking down at them.

“Closed the door.” Jhonia said, stepping back with Nearce in her arms. One of the maids closed the door and Jhonia takes Nearce up the stairs. His mother helped Jhonia after she arrived up the stairs.© 2024 Nôv/el/Dram/a.Org.

“I will help him from here, go get rest.” Mrs. Pinnock said to Jhonia, after she brought Nearce up the stairs where Mrs. Pinnock takes over from her, however, he refuses to let go of Jhonia. Jhonia sighed and helped him to the room, Mrs. Pinnock had placed his things. Turns out that room is right next to Jhonia’s room. Jhonia decided to take care of Nearce and let Mrs. Pinnock go back to resting.

“Why did you go get yourself so wasted? Since, when have you agreed on drinking like this?”

Jhonia asked? As she removes his clothes and places him into the bathtub of his bathroom, she asks him when he became like that.

“Stay!” Was the only word Nearce said to Jhonia, she looked at him for a moment before she sighed.

“Do you know what love is?” Jhonia asked him, as she began to bathe him.

“I almost love you, to a point where I almost myself. I almost fell too deep in love with you, twice, and you give me reasons to not feel anything for you anymore. The first time you kissed me was the morning after the mask party, that night I received a message that you were behind the third door. At first, I ignored it and didn’t want to believe it but then I realized you were nowhere in sight. I doubted myself even though I went looking. I bumped into someone and that stopped me from reaching the door in time, and. There she was. The woman I met when I visited your hotel room for the first time. You said, she probably just thought we had an argument but the truth is that! You had just finished your pleasure with her. She was the same person as she was without a mask at the party! That is how I knew it was her, but then it seems like you changed. But little did I know how wrong I was. You didn’t change. How can I forget what you did? I don’t. I won’t believe you because I don’t want to be hurt anymore, so please! Don’t ask me to stay!”

Jhonia spoke to Nearce, while he was barely getting sober, and his mother who stood outside the bathroom door listening. Jhonia turned on the shower and washed him rid of the soap. After some time. Nearce was clothed and laid down to sleep by Jhonia. Although his eyes were closed he could not fall into deep sleep. As he has gotten so used to having Jhonia in his arms. Jhonia, who is sitting next to the bed watching him.

“Jhonia!!” Nearce called her softly.

“Hmm.” Jhonia responded to him, and began getting up and getting closer to hear what he wanted to say to her. As she reached up close to him, he pulled her into his arms.

“I feel like I don’t know how to sleep without you.” Nearce said to her, but Jhonia kept silent. After some time Mrs. Pinnock comes to check on Nearce and sees Jhonia in Nearce arms, sleeping together. She closes the door softly and leaves them to sleep. Knock²! Knock²! Nearce rolls over and realizes he’s alone, he opens his eyes to confirm it. Jhonia was gone, he sat up immediately from the bed and glanced at a note that is left on his bedside stan.

“I want to be able to sleep without you, I don’t want you to have a hard time sleeping either so learn how to sleep without me, and I, without you! I’m not leaving but it doesn’t mean we will be together. I have forgiven you however, I can’t forget what you did to me. So, I hope that you will understand. Also, I think it’s best that you don’t go and get drunk so the cops can return you home for the sake of that image.” Jhonia’s words. Nearce runs his hands over his face and sighs loudly.

“I have fallen in love with you, but you’re leaving when I am willing to change. How could I be so stupid? Why?” Nearce said, asking himself? The door opens and his mother comes in. She walked over to him seated on the bed…

“Your father only knew he loved me when I decided to leave him. There’s a saying. You will only know your lover when you let them go. Son, unlike your father he didn’t have time when he decided to change but you? You have time. Time to change and make her love you, but I know you like, I knew your father. Come down for breakfast.” His mother said to him, with a pat on the shoulder. She explained to him and asked, before telling that he had time. But she knows him like she knew his father. She leaves him with a hint, telling him to come down for breakfast. Telling him it’s only a matter of time before he goes back to his mistress or gets himself a new one. But he has looked past the message his mother left with him. He went to the bathroom and cleaned up then went down for breakfast!

“Where is Jhonia?” Nearce asked his mother, who was already seated at the table.

“She has already eaten. She went out for something she will return soon.” Mrs. Pinnock said to him, as he seated himself down at the table his mind rushed back to Jhonia’s words.

“I want to be able to sleep without you, I don’t want you to have a hard time sleeping either so learn how to sleep without me, and I, without you! I’m not leaving but it doesn’t mean we will be together. I have forgiven you however, I can’t forget what you did to me. So, I hope that you will understand. Also, I think it’s best that you don’t go and get drunk so the cops can return you home for the sake of that image.” Nearce sighed and looked at his food.

“She’s avoiding me.” Nearce said and began eating. After breakfast he went to Jhonia’s room, looking around, touching her stuff like he hadn’t been there in years. He sighed and left the room looking heartbroken.

“I will have to learn how to live without you. I have to let you go just when I want to hold you close. I truly feel sorry towards you.” Nearce said, after entering his room and sitting down on the solo sofa… After some time he got dressed and left for the office.
