Can you ever find a home?

Chapter Nine

 

It’s a month later and Melody decides that she is ready to have a boyfriend again.  Melody calls Jake and Nick.

Melody:  Jake?

Jake (over the phone):  Yeah.

Melody:  I think I am ready for another boyfriend.  Meet me in the park in ten minutes and I’ll decide between you and Nick.

Jake:  Okay.  I’ll meet you there.

Melody hangs up the phone and calls Nick.

Melody:  Nick?

Nick (over the phone):  Hi Melody.  What do you want?

Melody:   I think I am ready for another boyfriend.  Meet me in the park in ten minutes and I’ll decide between you and Jake.

Nick:  What do you mean me and Jake?

Melody:  He asked me out after you broke up with me.

Nick:  Oh, okay.  I’ll see you there.

Melody hangs up the phone and walks out side and has her brother drive her to the park.  On the way, their car was struck by a drunk driver.  Melody’s brother was fine, but Melody wasn’t.  Melody was rushed to the hospital.

 

Meanwhile at the park:

Jake:  Hi, Nick.  Where’s Melody?

Nick:  I don’t know.  She said she’d be here.

Jake:  I’ll call her cell.

Jake takes out his phone and calls Melody.

Jake:  No answer.

Nick:  I’ll call her brother.

Nick gets his phone out and calls Melody’s brother, Matt.

Nick :  Hi Matt.  Do you know where Melody is?

Matt (over the phone):  Yeah.  She’s in the hospital.

Nick:  What?

Matt:  We were hit by a drunk driver.

Nick:  Oh my gosh.  I’ll be there right away.

Nick hangs up the phone.

Jake:  So where is she?

Nick:  In the hospital.

Jake:  What?

Nick:  I’ll explain on the way.  Come on let’s go.

 

Later at the hospital, Melody was lying in bed and woke up to see Nick and Jake by her side.

Melody:  Nick?  Jake?

Jake:  We’re here Melody.

Nick:  Every thing will be okay.

Jake:  Melody, I love you so much.

At this point, Nick is in tears.

Nick:  I love you, too.

Melody:  I know you both love me.  But I am going to choose…
