Aaron's POV* | Jamaica
10:33a.m
A day in Aaron's life

She's standing on the balcony and I'm watching her from the bed.
I can tell she's lost in her thoughts.

She did not sleep on the entire flight back, She hasn't said a word about it or any words, at all.

Fuck. Did I finally break her?
Did she reach her actual breaking point?

"Baby" I call and she hums in response

"Come here"

She's comes into the room and sits on the bed.

"Come. Here" I tell her, tapping my lap.

She sits on my lap and I put her to lay on the bed before hovering over her.

"Talk to me" I tell her

"About what?"

"Wah yuh mean by about what? How yuh feel? Wah deh pon yuh mind?"

"I'm definitely not ok. It's as if, I just got back to my actual reality.....What my life will be like as long as I'm with you. I keep replaying the moment in my head and I just want to throw up, scream and cry. I don't know what to do with myself"

Jah know

"I can't tell you how sorry I am."

I've failed her.

"What happened with Ramona?" She asks

"She deh wid a Don son and mi talk to her bout it."

"Well what the fuck did you say?" She asks

"Easy"

"Nut'n serious....Me just make she know how things really work and that she a come stay wid me until she fix up herself"

"You can be very intimidating." She says

"Mi know"

"Next time, I'll do the talking. I don't think anyone will show up to kill us after"

"There's no next time."

"What does that mean?" She asks

"Mi nah whul no conversation wid Ramona"

"She's your little sist-"

"Yeah and me little sister almost make man come kill off me and me oman."

"Aaron"

"Babes me nuh really nuh wah talk bout dat... A you me concerned bout. Yuh wah start therapy?" I ask and she chuckles

"I'm serious" I tell her

"Really? Who can I tell that my boyfriend is a Don and we killed two men last night?"

"Dale. He was my therapist when me just start make duppy"

"If it reaches the point where it's unbearable" She says

"Alright, When him fawud from France" I tell her and she exhales

I lay on my back before lifting her on top of me.

"Mi love yuh more than anything else. If yuh nuh good, mi feel dark. Mi nuh wah nut'n hot yuh head"

"God alone know how mi feel bout this" I mumble

She lays on my chest and I rub her back until she finally falls asleep.

I gently move from the bed before taking my phone and heading downstairs.

I press the phone at my ear
