Disclaimer I OWN NOTHING OF THE HOST. Also this is my first fanfiction so please don't be so harsh, and I'm not exactly the best writer but I couldn't resist! Enjoy. :)


Wanda just finished packing and was looking at Kathy with a miserable expression. She was going to miss her the most, well actually she was the only one Wanda was going to miss. Kathy was like a mom to her.

Kathy walked up to her, with a sad smile on her face, and gave her a warm hug.

"they're nice people Wanda, Andy made sure of it. You're going to love them, I promise." Kathy whispered to her.

Wanda nodded trying to ignore the stinging behind her eyes and the lump in her throat. They stayed like that for a while.

"Will we keep in touch?" Wanda asked breaking the silence.

"Of course we will!" Kathy finally let go of her "Oh Wanda you know we will!" She was avoiding Wanda's eyes. Wanda had no idea why.

"What if they don't like me? What if they get rid of me?" Wanda whispered more to her self than Kathy.

Kathy was looking into Wanda's eyes now. She took Wanda by the shoulders.

"Of course they'll like you! They would have to be brain-dead if they don't, they just have to get to know you, then they'll fall head over heals for you, and I told you there nice people. Andy wouldn't leave you with just anybody."

"But he just doesn't care enough to keep me right?"

Kathy pulled Wanda into another hug.

"I know... He's a total... Um... He's a total douche bag! Yes indeed a very douchey douche bag!" Wanda laughed at her failed attempt at making her feel better.

"You know I would take you in myself if I could, right?"

Wanda nodded not trusting her voice now. She knew Kathy would take her in. Wanda was like a daughter to Kathy. Kathy was working for Andy when Wanda came here at the age of six and she has taken care of her ever since. She would take her shopping and listen to her rant about her boy problems. She even knows Wanda's middle name! Andy doesn't even know it! But of course Kathy could never take Wanda, she could barely afford her rent.

"Wanda! Jeb is waiting down stairs!" Andy yelled from the kitchen.

They were both crying when they pulled away. They both took Wanda's bags down stairs with them.

Andy was by the door waiting with a man with a thick white beard and cleft tipped nose, he had wide cheekbones and thick white brows.

"Well now, you must be Wanda." He held up his hand, Wanda took it.

"You must be Jeb." Wanda was giving him her best fake smile she could come up with.

"Well, we best be going now. We have a long drive ahead of us here ill take your bags and meet you in the car." He took Wanda's bags and walked out the door.

As soon as the door closed Wanda turned to Andy. He was smiling at her. She had no idea why. Where you supposed to smile at a time like this? Was he happy to finally get rid of her? Has she just been a burden all these years?

"You're going to be fine," he assured her "they're nice people Wanda. Trust me." Wanda nodded. That was all she could do smile and nodded. She knew Andy never lied, that's why he didn't say he was sorry or that he would miss her, because he wouldn't.

"Thank you," she said "for everything."

He said nothing and just smiled at her. She turned to Kathy and hugged her for the last time and whispered

"Are you going to be alright?"

"Oh don't worry about me. Remember well keep in touch."

They were both crying now. Wanda let go of her and walked towards the door. She looked back one more time and wished shed hadn't, the look on Kathy was heartbreaking.


Melanie was sitting on the front porch, lost in thought. She was wondering when will Jeb would get back. He was coming home with a stuck up princess and Mel was supposed to call her sister. To hell with her! Melanie would rather slit her own Throat then say that she's her sister.

She doesn't get why Jeb would volunteer to take her in. He didn't give them any in this, he just said he was going to be taking care of Wanda, his friend, Andy's foster child, for a while and then he just took off, just like that.

Melanie has met Andy before, and she absolutely hates him. She can't even imagine how Wanda's going to turn out.

She snapped out of her thoughts when Ian, Melanie's neighbor and best friend, came and sat down next to her.

"Whats wrong?" He asked.

"What makes you think somethings wrong?"

"Because I know you Mel. You're like a sister to me. Now talk."

"Nothing," she shrugged "nothing important anyway."

"Do you honestly think that's gonna work on me?" He laughed.

Mel sighed. "Jeb's going to be fostering some girl"

"So whats wrong with that?"

"Well she's lived in some big fancy house with loads of money for most of her life. And Andy, her foster dad, he is so full of himself, who knows how Wanda's gonna be."

"Who knows maybe she's different, I mean just look at... Lacey." Mel shot him a look like he was out of his mind.

"Okay... Bad example.."

"Bad example? Have you met her shes the devil. I still can't believe you went out with her!"

"It was the only way to make her shut up. It was also a hug mistake. Do you know how much perfume she wears? You need a gas make just to say hello." They both laughed at that and Mel forgot all about Jeb and Wanda.
