Sounded Silence

Believe This Will Help!

PJ's POV

Ever since Matt decided to stay with us, I feel like Paula seems safer and opens up to us more.

"Knock Knock!" A voice yelled outside.

"Lock's broken!" Paula yells, "Come on in."

"Parappa?" Matt sprang up from his seat, "that really you? Never seen ya bare-headed!"

Matt was right. Not a whole lot of us have seen Parappa bare-headed.

"Uh, hey Matt," Parappa almost hesitated his words, "been a while, huh?"

I motion for him to sit next to me.

"So, how's things with you?" Parappa asked.

I just put a hand over Paula, slightly pulling up the hoodie on her. She smacks my hand.

"Anyways, I got something that could help you out...if ya want."

"Parappa, why are you talking like this?" Matt interjects.

"Guess I'm just not used to you around anymore," Parappa huffs.

Parappa takes out a blue sheet of paper.

"I wanna make this, just because speech is important. I mean, you want your kid to never hear their father laugh or cheer, or...snore?"

"Parappa, this is amazing!" Paula says, "how'd you come up with it?"

"My pop's an inventor. Guess I learned from watching and helping him so much."
