Morning Sunshine [Johnny Depp]

Chapter Ten: An Aggressive Surprise

First  Pov: 

"This can't be happening." He towered over me and rubbed my face mockingly. "Sweetheart, isn't this a dream come true?" I felt myself begin to cry, the tears running down my face.  He grabbed me by my shirt, pulling me up. "Hello, my love. It's been a little while." I looked away and towards my friends to see them all looked petrified and regretful.

That makes sense. He grabbed both sides of my face with his hands and forced my face towards him. "Aren't you going to say 'hi' to your fiancé?" I looked around frantically for my boyfriend, the only person that was on my mind. He was by my 'friends', but then I saw a tan hand on my abuser, Peterson's, hand. "I advice you let her go." Peterson threw me on the ground and began tassling with John. I felt the bruises on my ribs and let out a cry in pain.

John looked over at me with utter sadness and Peterson did not waste the opportunity to punch him. John fell and as I reached out for him, I was seized by my throat. "Darling, he was getting in the way of us." I spit in his face. "There is no 'us', you son of a bitch." He began crushing my windpipe. "Who taught you to talk back?" Just then, someone tackled him, leading to me on the ground again. "I believe that would be me." It was the one person I still believed at the moment, but when I looked at his face, it was filled with pure rage.

First Pov (Johnny):

"You hurt her," I said under my breath as I grabbed his collar bringing him up. I began punching him repeatedly, not hearing anything else. That was... until I heard her. It was faint at first, a simple 'No!' Until I began hearing her begging me to stop. I dropped him and looked at her. Really looked at her. I grabbed both sides of her face making her look at me. "Hey, I'm sorry, I'm sorry." She laid on my chest. "Let's go home."

 I grabbed her hand, beginning to lead her to the car, but she was stopped by her friends. "Robyn, we are so sorry! We didn't know he was like that." She yanked back the arm that was seized by her friend, Azyon. "Nobody knew he was like that! And I didn't think I had to explain why I didn't want to be with somebody anymore! And now there are going to be people who pity me which is the EXACT reason I didn't tell anyone in the first place. I hate all of you! Don't try talking or getting in contact with me again!" She ran off towards the car and I headed after her once I had glared at each of them. She was leaning against the car on the passenger side, hiding her face.

 I opened the door for her and she slid into the seat, making sure not to show her face. I got in the car and she immediately looked out the window. As we were driving, I tried putting my hand on her thigh, but each time she shied away. After the third time, I gave up. When we got to her house, I got out the car to go open the door for her. As she was getting out, I tried getting out the way, she clung onto me. I put my arm around her waist pulling her close to me, closing my eyes as I felt her body shake in my grasp, her sobs muffled by my shirt.

I was gonna stay there for as long as she needed me. She pulled away and I let go of her. She grabbed my hand. "Let me get some stuff from the car, I'll be right up, promise." She nodded and headed up her stairs wiping the tears from her face. I grabbed some clothes I had put in my car for tonight and hurried to get up there to her. The door was open and I walked in, locking the door behind me. I set my clothes down and went upstairs. Just like I thought, she was crying on her bed upstairs. "Hey sit up, I have no doubt that you have a couple bruises on ya." She chuckled before getting a pain expression. "Maybe a couple." I went to look in her cupboard above her bathroom to get something to help.

Luckily, there were some bandages and alcohol and other stuff of the sort. When I got in the room, she had taken her short off and was laying against the bed frame, obviously deep in thought. How did my Sunshine end up with a jackass like him? Will she let me help, or will she shut me out? Whatever the outcome, I was gonna be here when she needs me whether she wants me to ot not. I grabbed some paper towels and put some alcohol on it prompting her to the edge of the bed. I got on my knees and began softly going over her bruises. She winced and I paused.

"You wanna do this later?" She nodded and grabbed me, pulling me into a tight hug. I put one hand in her hair while whispering sweet nothings in her ear. I climbed on the bed and brought her up my chest. "You wanna talk yet?" She began drawing circles on my chest. "Sure..."

First Pov: 

I sat up and looked at Johnny. Oh how much I loved him. "I was supposed to marry him, obvi. But I was stupid. It was my second engagement. The first one is a whole nother story I'm not ready to tell yet, but yeah. Met him during my party days, but we were always running into each other. Eventually we became friends and later, we were dating. Everything was perfect up until our one year anniversary. He took me out to a fancy dinner, complimented me non-stop, but when we got home. He started getting really touchy and was making me uncomfortable. After everything I'd been through, I didn't want to get intimate yet. When I told him that, he didn't take it too well..." I began to get choke up, but Johnny stroked my cheek, kissing me on the forehead. "Take your time."

I took a deep breath before continuing. "He got mad, aggressive. Tearing the clothes off my body. I cried for him to stop, but he slammed me against the wall. Was the first time he ever did anything to me, but clearly not the last. But, since he knew my weaknesses, he knew how to manipulate me,  make me stay with him. I loved him, I really did. So, when he proposed, I was more than willing to say yes. I had no self-confidence or self-love. But, when he hurt my kid who was 8 at the time, I lost it. Stabbed him in the stomach, took my kid and ran. I had some money stashed, so along with my scholarship, I was able to have housing and I stayed at my college. It was hard, but I managed. I graduated, and got a job in a hospital far away from my hometown just so he wouldn't find me. I've been hiding from him since that night and when I saw him, I- I..."

"Sshhh, I'm right here." I openly cried, knowing for a fact I was quite ugly. I tried fixing my face, but he stopped my hand started wiping away my tears. "That's my job Sunshine. Take pride in it too." 

First Pov (Johnny):

I felt her body relax and felt at peace knowing that I had brought her a bit of closure. She nudged her face into my hand moving her head against it. It was adorable. "You hungry?" She didn't respond and instead brought her hand over the hand that was on her cheek, smiling. "What do you wanna eat?" She shrugged her shoulders pushing her face further into my hand. Imma mess with her. "So I can get us some sushi?" She never stopped smiling, but said, "Keep playing with me John and I will bite your nipple." I laughed and moved my hand. "Is that a promise?" She rolled her eyes. "Shrimp fried rice sounds nice right now. And egg rolls." She stretched to get the phone that was being blown up with apologies from her friends.

I dragged her back on top of me. "I'll order." She smiled and laid on my left shoulder. "You do have very suckable nipples tho, not even gon lie to ya." I laughed and called the place, putting in our order. "It'll be delivered in about half an hour." She kissed on my neck sweetly and I closed my eyes at the sensation. "I love you Sunshine." She stopped and looked up at me with what I can only call adoration. "I love you John. I really, truly, do." She lovingly kissed me, putting her hands in my hair and mine went to her hips. Air seemed like such unnecessary thing, at least to me. She pulled back with this drunk smile.

After that, we kinda just sat together and watched Tik Toks. 

Third Pov:

Although, that day was rough, they were closer than they had started. Both were secretly thankful for everything that happened. But they wouldn't admit that.
