IMPORTANT AUTHOUR NOTE AT END!
***Harry's P.O.V***
It seemed odd the think that the ending of all the crazy hurdles Melanie and I had to go through, was only the beginning of our lifes. Darcy was here now, a true symbol of our undying and eternal love for one another. Melanie sat in the back of the car, watching Darcy as we drove home, and the smile had never left my face.
To think that after my life time of dreaming and reality, and fantasies, had now become my reality made me feel like the luckiest man alive. I have my beautiful wife, and my beautiful daughter. We are surrounded my caring friends, and we have our lifes together, and there are no words that could possible describe how happy was.
"What are you thinking about?" Melanie's soft voice sounded, breaking me from my thoughts. My eyes flickered to the rear-view mirror and smiled at her.
"You. Darcy. Us." I explained.
"Good things i hope." she teased.
"Wonderous things." I beamed.
Darcy mumbled in her deep sleep, and Melanie giggled, grabbing her small hand, kissing it. Darcy quited down again, returning to her blissful sleep.
"Do you ever think what might have happened if I had gotten away from you?" she asked suddenly. I paused for moment, thinking about it. It caused me great pain to imagine Melanie escaping me, running off. Her living her life with Kendall, or Alex or anybody else for that matter.
"I would have found you. I always did find you." I reasoned.
"But suppose I had." she insisted. "For humours sake, had I gotten away from you, what do you thin would have happened? To me and to you?"
"Darcy would not be here." I began, Melanie flicking her gaze to the sleeping baby, and stroking her cheek, afraid my words might actually make her vanish into thin air. "My heart would not be complete. I would be a mess, sad, alone, and still be consumed by my demons that caused me to lash out. I wouldnt have been able to be free from them, as you are the one that cut my bounds from them with your love."
"As for you," I began. "I imagine you would be happy at first. But later on, you would feel lonely, because you were not with me. We are soul mates Mel. We are destined to be together. We are bound to one another by the bonds of love. It wouldn't be long until you came back, to me, where you belong." I smiled.
"Soul mates." she hummed to herslef. "You think?"
"Think about it. I was a monster to you Mel. I was sick and evil, yet you tamed me. Your light lit up my dark side. Now any normal person would have never lasted with me. They would have given up, and never lasted as you did."
"But I did give up." she confessed. "I tried suicied remember?" she sighed.
"And I stopped you in time didn't I?" I countered. "Did you know on that very day, I was out and I felt this feeling inside of me, like you needed help. Like you needed recusing. I raced home, and got to you just in time. Coincedence?" I mused, smirking at her, her mouth wide open in shock.
"I never really belived in soul mates, but that kind of proves it, huh?" she spoke.
"Are you glad I stopped you?" I asked, turning the table on her, and she looked caught off guard.
"Of course." she smiled. "Although I wasn't at first. I was sad and misserable and afraid, and I wanted out. Badly." she confessed. "Although..." she trailed off.
"Although?" I urged.
"I can remember lying there, in the small pool of blood, and fatigue washing over me. You know how people say your life flashes before your eyes? Well it doesnt flash as such, but a few snippets came to mind." she explained.
By now we had arrived home, but I had turned in the drivers seat, listening to her as we stayed in the car talking.
"One was of me and Kendall. We were watching Phantom of the Oprah." she smiled sweetly at the memory. "I remember I said how creepy the phantom was, and Christine was a fool to trust him on the beginning. I said he was clearly dark and troubles, riddled with demons." she sighed. "But Kendall looked at me and shook his head. He always had this look were he half smiled, and looked at you with this most...intense gaze." she smiled.
"And he looked at me like that, and he said 'Christine is no fool. She is brave and righteouss. Everybody is quick to fear the phantom, to see him as an evil heartless monster. Raoul deaned the phantom as a monster who would only hurt Christine, and along with everybody else, cut him off. Only Madame Giry knew the real Phantom. As a child he was put in a freak show, laughed and ridiculed everyday. She helped him escape, and lead him to the oprah house. It was there he noticed the beautiful Christine. She was captivating in everyway, and she stole his heart."
Melanie seemed lost in her story, explaining everything, and I clun onto every word she said.
"Kendall said 'Now how could somebody as heartless as Raoul made him out to be, have such a burning and un-dying love to Christine. Surely a evil man would only love himself? Yet he didn't. He sang to her, tutouring her, making her a star in the Oprah world. He made her dreams come true. That is no evil Mel, that is a tortured sould whome desires love."
Melanie shook her head. "I argued that he went the wrong way about it. If he loved her, he could show her in other ways. The Phantom killed several people, and traumatised Christine. That is evil, and is not capable nor did he deserve love."
I nodded, urging her to continue.
"But Kendall shook his head at me again, he even laughed a little. He said 'Any man who went through his past, beaten and mocked, all alone is going to have demons to fight. We all have our inner demons, but the phantoms demons were darker. Christine did not draw back in fear, rather, she faced the demons head on. She was brave to sympathise for him."
"But I said that she didn't really face them, as she did not fall in love for the phantom. She fell in love with Raoul, and they married. How does that make her brave then? Kendall smiled at me and said 'see, now you sympathise for the man, who only minutes ago you deamed as a monster! I laughed and agreed, but was not impressed, so Kendall explained further. 'Perhaps they were not destined to love one another, but at least she sympathised for him.'
"Do you remember the ending Mel'? Kendall asked me?" Melanie quotes. "I nodded, knowing before her and Raoul ran off from the dungeons of the phantom, she gave him a small monkey music box. Kendall smiled and said 'whilst Christine did not give the phantom her love, she gave him something she held dearly to herself, and the phantom treasured that for the rest of his days.
Melanie was smiling at the memory, and I pulled her into my chest.
"So I asked Kendall what the message was the he was trying to get across. Kendall laughed at me, teasing me and said 'Oh poor niavh Mel! The message is no matter how dark somebody may appear, not matter how many demons one man may have, a strong person can cast them out. And perhaps, once those demons are gone, you will see such light that you didn't know exsisted, you just need to give them a chance."
I smiled down at Melanie, knowing that is exactly what she had done for me. Cast out my demons and given me a chance.
"Then I remembered when you had begged me to say I loved you. Although you were pissed, I clearly remember looking in your eyes, and seeing a broken man in need of love. I instantly thought of the Phantom and what Kendall had said. I felt pity towards you, so I said it. When I was lying in my pool of blood, I felt bad, I knew I didnt want to die deep down, but wanted to help you. To help tame your demons."
"You're amazing. You know that, baby?" I grinned, kissing the top of her head. She smiled, leaning up and pressing her lips to mine, smiling into the kiss.
"I love you Harold. Always and forever." she whispered.
I grinned looking down at her, my heart melting. She lay down in my lap, next to Darcy in her car seat, and I knew my life was complete. No words can describe that.
"I love you Melanie. I always have and I always will." I replied.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Love is a funny thing. You never know where you will find it, but when you do, you wonder how you ever lasted without it. It completes you. It is the missing puzzle piece to your life, and when you find it, you find your other half, everything falls into place.
Harry and Melanie were their soul mates, put on the planet destined to find each other, and when they did, though they had many struggles, and more where to come, their love would never die, because love never does die. Love in eternal, precious, and valueble. And when you find love, you will understand it too. You will understand how Mel and Harry cared for one another, because that is how love works. And it it out there. We often just can't find it.
We live in a cruel dark world, but when we find love hiding in the shadows, it is enough to light up the entire world. And trust me, you too, will find it.
THE END.
