Authors Notes: Yes, well now I've begun a very big story and when I found out I had over ten followers on my story I literally screamed, so thank you very much, I hope you enjoy the story, its back to Maddy's POV now, soon enough you'll get the drift.

You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You

Maddy

I'm hurting. My heart is aching. I should have known something like this would happen. Rhydian would never have waited that long for me... at least now I know he wouldn't of. But before I was so sure... merely because I trusted him, with my heart and my life. And now my heart is broken and m life is ruined, and to think, all of this is because of a boy who I had liked since the first day I met him... but he'd never know that, not now at least.

I had plans, I say plans, I mean dreams... big dreams, mega dreams, dreams about our future together. Me and him. No pack, we'd be like my mum and dad, raise a cub, or more in the human world, and hope that no doctors or scientists or geeky kids try to test us. But those dreams are broken now.

But I cannot just sit here in the forest and gloat – my original plan was to go home, but somebody else lived there now. And there are two ways I can go about dealing with this, one is the wolf way, which involves fighting, mum says I've done enough of that to last me a lifetime, and I'm not in the mood to fight anyone anymore.

The other is the only option left, and the only option I want. Its the human way, and it sounds great, so it probably is great. Sitting at home watching a romantic movie, with ice cream, or at least its what I've seen people do in the movies, Bridget Jones mainly.

Problem is I have no ice cream, nor do I have a TV, or any movies.

So I'm stuck being even more miserable than before when I had left Stoneybridge. I know someone is coming, I know because I hear them talking in loud voices.

"No, he's an idiot, and deserves every bad thing he gets... I warned him about Victoria but did he listen, oh no, because he wanted to help her, like Maddy had helped him." Shannon says in an annoyed tone, I know who she is on about, I groan, she's come to tell me 'he's an idiot who doesn't deserve me' I know she'll say those exact words. Then she see's me on the floor, my face is tear stained I know it is, "Mads," she says softly with a smile and warm eyes, "You forget about him, Mads. He's not worth your time, or your tears." She tells me. Ok, so I predicted wrong, but I was close.

I try to talk,but as I open my mouth to talk, my tears just blurt out instead, well done Maddy, very well played, now I'm a blubbering mess and both Tom and Jana look uncertain.

"Hey, come on Mads, chin up. You don't need him." Tom says, I wipe my eyes quickly as Shan hugs me tightly, I need mum, she's better than anything at this.

"Yeah, I mean, you've still got Fred." Jana teases, I stifle giggles as I think about him.

His flirting is terrible, he fights like a cub and his worst trait is he has no sense of humor, you try to make the guy laugh at anything you do and he will not crack even the smallest smile, like he is on duty constantly or something like that, mum says he's an oddball, different, I say he's just weird.

"Whose Fred?" I hear Shan ask next to me, helping each other up I take in her changes, she still wears her old glasses, but there are differences like her hair is down and she is wearing the slightest bit of make up and I can see happiness in her eyes, the happiness that I hardly ever saw in her eyes, especially after what I had made her do.

"Just another wolfblood," I tell her, she nods, I smile at her and then look at Tom and Jana through the corner of my eye, "Who's the lucky guy your with?" I ask, shocking Shan completely.

"How did you know?" she asks in shock. Jana and Tom gasp in unison. I laugh a little.

"I can see it in your eyes, Shan. You give yourself away too easily." I explain, beginning to laugh full on, I start to forget about what happened earlier with Rhydian... but then just thinking about him now changes my mood, and another tear fills my right eye.

"You know what you need?" Jana asks like she is some sort of expert at this, as she see's my tear filled eye and crouches down on the mud in front of me. I look up at her and see her planning away in her mind, I'm slightly scared by this... I mean, Jana, planning, don't get me wrong she's a great leader, but she's been helped along the way and she leads a pack of wolfbloods, not humans. By my silence she continues, "A break, you need to get away from other wolfbloods, me included, an spend some quality time with your mates." She tells me.

Actually, thats probably one of the best idea's she's ever come up with. My eyes begin to grow bigger with the realisation that what Jana is saying is right. I nod eager to catch up with my friends.

"Well then, off you go, and don't worry, I won't wolf out." And she reassures me too, its strange.

But I need my friends right now.

"Ok, so I'll see you later then." I say skeptically, I'm uncertain because its Jana, who knows what she could do if she just randomly wolfed out... I trust Jana, I really do and she's the only one in the pack who I can relate to, with our mutual friendships with humans, missing those same humans, and she's always asking about the flushing toilet – it still fascinates her – So I do really trust Jana, but... I'm worried she'll do something bad.

"Well, come on Mads, I can show you to my man." Shan tells me already walking off in some direction, I quickly follow her and link arms with both Tom and Shan.

Like old times.

Before Rhydian, before Dr. Whitewood, before Alric, and before any complications began in my life... its funny how they all started when I first met Rhydian... no, not funny actually, frustrating... frustrating to know that the one other wolfblood I meet would cause so much trouble... and I would love.

"So tell me, tell me everything I've missed." I tell Shan and Tom with an excited smile on my face, but I look back in the direction Jana took opposite us... where is she going? What is she doing?

Authors Notes: So this chapter is shorter than others, it will be the same for Rhydians too unfortunately. Sorry, hope you like it.
