AUTHORS NOTE; Hi this is my first fanfic, it not great at the start but as you read the later chapters, I promise that it does get better! so please read all the chapter and review and tell me what you think, thankyou :)

I was lying on the sofa, floods of tears tripping down my face. Rhydian had left me. Gone back to the wild. I obviously hadn't meant enough to him, to prevent him from leaving Stoneybridge! He didn't even say goodbye! I felt so alone. I know I wasn't actually alone but Rhydian had been the only one who understood me fully. He understood me so well. Most of the time it was like he could read my mind, I didn't even have to speak and he'd know how I was feeling. He was always able to say the right thing to me! That's probably what I loved about him the most, apart from the his good looks and his cute smile of course. Ah, that smile, it was definitely something!

Suddenly, I heard a knock at the door. Quickly, I jumped up, dried my eyes and walked towards the door. Everytime there was a knock on the door, I always had a glimmer of hope that it would be Rhydian back from the wild, even though in my heart I knew he was never going to come back. He'd made his decision. He chose the wild and his family over me. I opened the door, and standing there was a girl. She was taller than me (nearly everyone is, I hate being small), with long wavy red hair.

"Hi", I said.

"Are you Maddy?"

"Yes, who are you? What are you doing here?"

"I was sent here to give you this."

She handed me a small brown envelope and then scampered off at lightning speed.

"Wait!" I cried.

"What? Who was that? Who is this from?", I thought to myself as I studied the envelope before opening it.

I then ripped open the envelope and inside it was an extremely petite note saying;

'I'm sorry'

I thought, "It couldn't possibly be from Rhydian, could it?". This caused me to think of Rhydian again and soon forgot about the letter and went back to feeling sorry for myself. The more I thought about Rhydian, the more I missed him; the more I cried. I lay on the sofa for hours.
