The Host (sequel The Seekers)

Chapter 7: home is where the heart is.

Melanie's POV:

Was I upset about the whole Wanda And Jared thing? Yeah I was.

But I wasn't going to let it effect my already great relationship with them.

Sure things haven't been the same but I know somewhere Jared still loves me.

I'm not making him stay with me. Heck if he didn't love me I would leave him.

In time, all things will mend.

Wanda is still my bestfriend. I can't judge her on mistakes when I've made them to.

She deserves happiness. And I see it.

These days things have been running slower. Something's changed. I can't put my finger on it.

Everybody acts like robots. Maybe people have finally learned how serious this all is.

No one is safe.

Even Wanda and Sunny.

I'm sure for Wanda it's been real since the moment she was put in my head.

Honestly, life has never been normal. I had normal moments but that's all they were. I wish Jamie wasn't exposed to all of this.

I wish we could've had a family. All of us outside throwing the ball outside. Smiling.

I also wanted a family of my own.

One where Jared and I had met under different circumstances.

We didn't have to have the best things. Just us and maybe a dog. Eventually children.

I know I could have a family with Jared.

Nothing would be normal about it.

But love is worth it.

Home is where the heart is and my home is here.

I may not have this fairytale life but I have what I need.

Life goes on and being here in this moment with everyone, I have all the happiness I need.

I got a glimpse of what Wanda went through. She still remains to be positive under the worst circumstances. She has strength.

I do as well but lately I haven't.

I need sleep. So I guess that's what I'll do.

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Jared's POV:

I've had a serious talk with myself. What I want for the future, what I want to do with my life.

Wanda is my problem.

She's the one thing I've never expected to be in my future.

She's not Melanie and will never be her.

But something about her attracts me.

I've heard letting go is the hardest. I know it's my only option and I have to do what's right. Not

only for me but for Wanda,Ian, and Mel.

I'll always love Wanda. But I have to let her go. She doesn't belong to me.

Melanie does.

I have to do the right thing by her. She's still the same girl I met in the house.

The feelings won't go away. They never will.

I can have my happiness again. Everything will be okay. If it's not then it isn't over.

Sorry for the awkward spacing and short chapter. Being sick takes all the energy out of me.
