Maddy's POV
I ran, through the trees where nobody could find me where I could be alone with no stupid questions to answer, to cry. I stopped and sat down finally letting go what I had kept bottled up inside me for months, tears streaked down my face a merge of burning sadness and anger, tearing my face in to thousands of tiny pieces. I was starting to regain my thoughts as I curled in to a ball at the bottom of the tree and thought about all of the memories I'd loved and cherished with Rhydian Morris.

"Are you almost done yet?" I asked Shannon Kelly my best friend

"Almost, just wait a second I have just the perfect thing for you" She rummaged around in her closet further then pulled out a teal blue bikini "Ta da! Do you like it?" She questioned

"I love it Shan" I grabbed it off her and ran to the bathroom to try it on full of excitement because me, Shannon, Tom and Rhydian were going to play in the pool that had just been built/excavated in the back of Shannon's garden so Shannon had decided to make it a special occasion. I walked out of the bathroom and back in to Shannon's room where she had also got changed in to her bikini : a black one this time with a ruffled top.

" Wow Madds you look amazing, not in a creepy way though" Shannon said before we both burst out laughing. We ran downstairs and out into her garden where the sun was glinting through the trees that surrounded the house.

Then suddenly out of no where I was picked up and launched in to the pool screaming as I resurfaced I saw a blonde headed boy with blue eyes grinning boyishly at me.

"RHYDIAN" I yelled before grabbing a handful of water and splashing him

"You'll pay for that Madeleine Smith" he said then jumped in and started splashing me back. He came over, picked me up and threw me over his shoulder before climbing out of the pool and running into the woods...

The woods... where I was now, my body pressed against the cold floor of the forest shaking with cold and sadness.

I must have fallen asleep because I woke to people calling my name, I could sense worry in their voices. I tried to call back but my voice wouldn't work. I was a mess, a state. My hair had fallen leaves and twigs intertwined and my clothes were muddy and ruined. Still the name callers called, "Maddy, Maddy, Maddy". I couldn't respond my body wouldn't let me.

I tried to move my limbs, I stretched my legs wary of tightness of my muscles. After standing up I started to walk, coughing to try and get my voice working. I managed after a particularly long bout of coughs so started yelling out "I'M HERE" to signify my whereabouts.

After ten minutes my Mam and Dad found me. I fell in to my Mam's chest my large sobs echoing through the small clearing. I'm so stupid if I'd have just admitted to him what I feel then he wouldn't have left. I love Rhydian. But it's to late now he's gone.

I cannot remember walking home I can only remember arriving at home and going straight up to my room where after a quick change I crashed on to my bed where grief washed over me. "Rhydian" I mumbled, "why did you leave me?"

Rhydian's POV
I shouldn't have left. I can still remember her face in the back of her car, pleading for me to come back. I couldn't I had to go, if I didn't leave then our secret would of got out. She probably hates me now, I didn't even say goodbye, but I knew that if I went to see her she would of persuaded me not to go.

I don't like it here in the wild, I don't fit in I'm too 'tame'. I hate hunting, I don't like killing the animals, they remind me too much of her face as I left her, shock. But like with Maddy I killed them (I didn't actually kill her but I broke her heart when I left). I desperately want to back but Dan and Emma (Maddy's parents) will hate me for what I did to their child and I bet Maddy will hate me too, I was horrid to her.

I had wandered off away from the pack, they don't trust me anyway, most just want me to go back to where I came from but they daren't tell Ceri this. I reached my usual spot in the woods, I'd found a hollowed out tree where I couldn't be seen. I reached down in to a crouching position, placed my fingers on the ground then I looked up, I was using Eolas.

I was in a forest when I saw her curled up beneath a tree tear-tracks etched on her face, she'd been crying again. I felt really bad, this was my fault. She moved and sat up she must of heard something because she stood up and began looking for someone. After a while she found them, her parents.

I quickly came out of my trance to give her some privacy with her parents and sat down my eyes were beginning to water, she missed me and wanted me back even though I left without saying goodbye.

Outside of my hiding place I heard movement, probably Ceri trying to find me. She doesn't know of my hiding place yet, so I just kept quiet so she wouldn't find me. When the noise passed I found Maddy on Eolas again.

She was in her room on her bed looking out the window when she said very quietly "Rhydian, why did you leave me?" Guilt flooded through me. I never should have left her, or I should of own up to one thing at least. I am in love with Madeleine Smith.
