Chasing Reality [sequel to Autistic Innocence -J.M]

Chapter 24

Jason's P.O.V

I stayed there.

On the hard concrete.

I was in so much pain.

But it wasn't any physical pain. No, this was so much worse.

I know I've talked about heartbreak and how it's the worse feeling ever but this takes the cake for worst heartbreak in the entire world and its existence.

I couldn't move. I felt like I couldn't breath. I felt like I was drowning but I was no where near any type of water.

The small stuffed animal that I set on the chair so I could lock the door mocks me as I stare at it.

It was for Melissa.

Tears rolled down my cheeks and sobs left my body at the realization that I actually fucked up for good this time.

My family left me.

I had no one.

About half an hour passed by and my sobs slowly started to cease.

I look up through my puffy eyes at nothing in particular then shove my head in my hands and continued to feel the pain in my heart and cry it all out.

"Daddy!"

I look up to see Melissa.

"Daddy stop!" She giggled.

She's running. I see her running from me.

I squint my eyes.

It was a realistic memory.

"Daddy no!" She screamed and laughed when I picked up a bucket of water and dumped it all over her.

She had been squirting me with her water gun while I was washing my car.

I pick her up while laughing and kissed her cheek repeatedly. She squealed and continued to squirt the side of my face with her little green plastic water gun.

"You still haven't learned your lesson, huh?" I growled against her cheek playfully.

I then ran with her towards the sprinklers.

"No daddy!" She screamed but laughed as she clung to my neck.

I had smirked and ran through the sprinklers only to stand in the center of all the water and laugh as she screeched and clung to my neck even tighter.

Then out of no where a huge amount of water was dumped all over me and I turn around to see Jr and Camilla laughing while holding a huge bucket.

"So we have teams now?" I raised an eyebrow at them and gasp dramatically when Jr steals Melissa from my arms and starts running with her along with Camilla.

"How are y'all gonna take my baby from me like that?" I asked and pouted at Melissa who was just a giggling mess in Jr's arms.

"We saved her from the ugly troll." Jr calls and laughs at my facial expression at his words.

"Okay.. I'm brining out the dream team." I nod at them and smirk as I run into the house. "Avalanna! Dallas! Let's go dream team! We gotta steal Melissa back from Camilla and Jr!" I call out as I fill multiple buckets with water from the different sinks in the house and grab about three packs of water balloons I hid for situations like these.
