Perfect Paradise - Volume 1 Chapter 17
Quote of the Chapter
People are afraid of themselves, of their own reality; their feelings most of all. People talk about how great love is, but that’s bullsh*t. Love hurts. Feelings are disturbing. People are taught that pain is evil and dangerous. How can they deal with love if they’re afraid to feel? Pain is meant to wake us up. People try to hide their pain. But they’re wrong. Pain is something to carry, like a radio. You feel your strength in the experience of pain. It’s all in how you carry it. That’s what matters. Pain is a feeling. Your feelings are a part of you. Your own reality. If you feel ashamed of them, and hide them, you’re letting society destroy your reality. You should stand up for your right to feel your pain.

Everything hurts
Urgh
I can’t move
Why?
Where am I?
I blinked furiously to clear my vision
Suddenly my pain went away as if it was never there
I looked around to find myself sitting on a mountain and the view in front of me beautiful
“Beautiful isn’t it?”
I froze hearing that voice
The voice that belongs to none other than my father
I turned my head and found him sitting beside me
What’s happening?
“Daddy?” I whispered
He faces me and flashed me a smile
I gasped
Is it real?
Oh my God
“That’s not the greeting I was expecting but, it’s okay ”
“How?” Tears started streaming down my face
“Awww my teddy now don’t cry just come here and give your pa a hug now” As soon as the words left his mouth I landed myself in his arms
I cried and cried
“It’s okay my love it’s okay I got you” he started whispering soothing words in my ear
“Now come on I don’t have much time,” he said as he removed his arms
I wiped my tears with my sleeves when he saw me doing that he chuckled
He cupped my cheeks and I saw tears in his eyes
“Daddy, what’s happening? and why am I here?” I asked him he just smiled
“I had to meet you because I miss you” he softly said
“I miss you too daddy I miss you too ” I hugged him again
“Remember teddy to always smile because you never know who is falling for that smile of yours and forget the past you are not going back there anymore”
“What are you talking Daddy?” I looked at him confusingly
“Aww my love I know about that almost first kiss of yours” he started teasing me
I bet my cheeks are tomatoes now
I started blushing furiously
He pinched my cheeks lightly
“Daddy” I groaned
He chuckled
“Aww my girl, give that poor boy a chance you know he is so in love with you”
” no daddy first he is not in love with me and nothing is going on between us” I tried to clear with him
Keyword I tried
“Baby girl you’ll see as for now, I have to leave but, I will see you soon,” he said
I panicked
“No, no daddy don’t leave me please no ” I started crying
He cupped my cheeks and whispered
“Remember sky don’t let your past destroy your present and future. Give that boy a chance to show you a life”
Tears started gathering in my eyes
“I love you daddy ” I whispered
He smiled
“I love you too my love ” with that he started fading away
I look at the view in front of my eyes
Familiar ringtone reached my earbuds
Urghhh can’t a girl get her beauty sleep
I woke up and pick up my phone without looking at the caller id
“Sky get ready I am picking you in 15 ” huh Astra
“Babe, don’t you think its a bit early?” I groaned
There was a silence on the other line
“Sky Malvon it’s freaking 7 am. You are lateeee” after I heard her I peeked over phone
Shit
Hey no cursing did you forgot your own rule
Oh hey there! I know I am sorry (pouting)
Whatever
“SKY oh God what am I going to do with you? Get ready fast or else…!”
and she hung up
Uh oh
Joey’s POV
“Urghhhhh stupid stupid phone call” I groaned loudly in my pillow
You do know you are calling our mom stupid
No, you asshole I am calling my phone stupid
Technically you are calling yourself asshole
Urgh shut up already and f.u.c.k off
No (grinning wickedly)
Urghh
“What are you talking about” Suddenly my sister’s annoying voice reached my ear
I looked at her boringly
“Nothing”
“Get your lazy ass up we are getting late ”
