Chapter 1: To be or not to be?
Rhydian's POV:
I felt the fresh summer breeze hit my face as I walked out of the Smith's house for the first time since last night's incident with Alric. Everything had been dealt with. Jana and her hostility, Her crazed father and Jana and Maddy had became friends. But the most best thing of all that I felt happy to get off my mind was Liam's craziness about werewolfs. Now it was just me and Maddy...
My stomach instantly fluttered when I thought of Maddy. I have had feelings for her since we first met. I just wasen't sure if she felt the same about me. I decided to keep my feelings unknown to anyone and stuffed them away.
I walked back inside the house to find Maddy at the table awaiting breakfast. I smelt Dan cooking bacon and instanly sat down next to her, awaiting my mouth watering meat.
However, my focus on the meat was caught off guard when Maddy grabbed hold of my hand under the table. I tensed and looked up at the brunette. She smiled happilly at me, staring into my eyes. I stared into her pools of chocolate brown. I had got lost in her gaze and I'm pretty sure she had too.
However, we were both interrupted by Emma placed our plates of bacon in front of us and smiling at me. I smiled back and let go of Maddy's hand before digging in to my breakfast.
After we had finished our breakfast I went to get my shoes on, I had promised I'd go with Maddy to see Shannon's performance in the school hall. Normally the school woulden't do these kind of things but it was for charity so I could understand that.
When we go into the forest I looked at Maddy and went to start running forward, hoping she would run with me. However she grabbed hold of my hand and dragged me to her side.
''What?'' I asked
''Isn't this forest...beautiful?'' Maddy said, staring up and smiling at her surroundings.
''Yeah... I guess...'' I said
I felt awkward towards her. She normally wasen't like this. It confused me but I decided to think nothing else of it as we kept walking towards the school.
Once we got into the school hall we let go of each other's hand and went our seperate ways. I went to Tom and Maddy went to Shannon, who was preparing with Harry; her new boyfriend.
Me and Tom were talking and hanging around in a corner, but I coulden't stop peeking over Tom's shoulder to look at Maddy and Shannon laughing and talking. I decided to eaves drop on their banter...
''Hahahaha, your so right Shan, he is fit though!'' Maddy said
''Trust me Madds, when the time is right he will know when to strike'' Shannon replied to Maddy, chuckling
Suddenly Maddy looked in my direction, her ear peeking out of her hair. God she looked beautiful I thought to myself as I looked away from her and back at Tom who looked confused at me before he turned his head round to the girls.
''Ah mate! I see what this is!'' Tom said, grinning and nudging me with his elbow
''What are you on about?'' I said, pretending not to know what he meant.
''You like Madds!'' he whispered to me
I shooked my head aand looked down then back up at Maddy, she looked back at Shan.
When Shannon started singing with Harry, I moved through the singing crowd to near where Madds was at the front. I looked up at Shan, smiling. But what I really wanted was Maddy's attention. One song ended and all I could hear was the deafening applause from the audience.
I decided to get some air after about 5 songs and stepped into the yard. I didn't hear Maddy approach behind me and jump on my back. I stumbled with shock but I held my balance. I felt Maddy's warm breath on my neck. I thought that her lips must be inches from my neck at this point.
''Hey'' she said softly
''Hey'' I replied to her, lifting my back so she could get off.
I sat on the wall with her and breathed deeply. Maddy once again grabbed hold of my hand but this time put it to her chest. I looked at my hand and then into her eyes.
''Rhydian...'' Maddy said
''Maddy...'' I repliedto her, lost completly in her deep brown eyes.
''I...'' Maddy began to say, but sighed softly and looked down.
''Madds'' I said to her, getting her attention once more.
My heart was beating, my hands were sweating. It was time I guess...
''Yes, Rhydian?'' Maddy asked, curious
''Words cannot explain how I feel at the moment...'' I said to her, waiting for her response
''Same...'' she said, while smiling warmly at me.
I was right words could not explain, so there was only one thing I could do that would show her how I feel. Something I've wanted to do for a long time now, but haden't had the courage to do...
I put my lips to hers, closing my eyes as I watched fireworks go off behind my eyelids. I felt her return the kiss with passion after a while and her hand touched my cheek with tenderness...
We broke a minute later, never wanting it to end. We both smiled at each other, but Maddy looked down and blushed. Suddenly I had all the courage I never thought I could have.
I lifted her chin and pecked her on the lips, she put her hands on my chest and leaned her head there. I stroked her hair for what seemed like hours, but it could of only been a few minutes.
When we roke away from our embrace we went back inside to listen to Shannon play her last song. I was with Tom in the cornor of the hall and Maddy was near the stage. We occasionally took glances towards each other and smiled.
Live was turning out perfectly...
