Second chapter for today, and as I promised it is longer than the other one. This one is better than the last I know but I the last one was needed to expand on the one before. Not much more to say,
LATERS!
Maddy's POV
It's been three hours since Rhydian woke, three hours since he forgot me. I sit alone in my bedroom, sobs wracking through my body. My aunt has asked Zoe to sleep on the sofa in her room for a few nights so that I could have the bed, but I kindly refused. I don't want to sleep in my old bed because it brings back memories of the past, memories that he can no longer remember. I can't bear that, so I lie down on the sofa and pull my blanket over me. "Good night Zoe" I call out into the darkness.
"Night" is the reply. Zoe is being really possessive since Rhydian woke up, and I mean possessive! And snapping at me too, like she hates me, when I should be the one hating her.
Zoe's POV
As soon as Rhydian spoke to Maddy, I knew I had a chance to be with again, if only I could work out how. When she finally went up to bed, I had decided on my plan and put it into action. I brought Rhydian some hot chicken soup and bread, and replaced all his dressings.
"Are you more comfortable now?" I asked him sweetly.
"Yes much better thanks!"
As I turned to go, he grabbed my arm, calling out to me.
"Wait! Don't go, not yet!"
"What's wrong?" I ask looking confused, but inside I'm ecstatic. He needs me!
"Can you tell me about my life? I can't remember anything at all!"
"Well as long as you pretend I haven't told you anything, because we are meant to let you remember everything on your own. Do you promise you won't tell anyone?" Okay, so I'm lying now, but I couldn't risk this going wrong again, being rejected again. So I continued: "you and me are going out and have been for 2 months, and my cousin Maddy fancies you but you pushed her off when she tried to kiss you." I burst into tears before continuing, "I'm so sorry it's just been so hard because you can't remember me!" Rhydian pats me awkwardly on the arm, and I dive onto him, wrapping my arms around his chest. This is where I belong, I realise as we lie there together. But suddenly I remember the time, leave Rhydian and go up to bed, but not before I slip a small vial of liquid into Maddy's water…
Rhydian's POV
As Zoe tells me about our relationship, I begin to panic. Zoe is pretty, and seems really nice and cares about me, but I don't feel the same way. I have to try to play along though, and maybe my feelings for her will return with time. As she gets up to leave, I watch her confident walk which confuses me, a minute ago she was sobbing into my chest. And I still don't know anything else about my life…
Maddy's POV
When I wake in the morning, I go downstairs carrying my empty glass and see Rhydian asleep on the sofa. I cannot help but smile to myself. He begins to stir and I make him a cup of cocoa, with plenty of milk and a smidge of sugar, just the way he likes it. "Morning Rhydian" I say trying to sound cheerful.
"Morning… Maddy?"
"Yeah I'm Maddy" I reply, but every syllable from then on hurts like a gunshot I the head.
"Could you tell me about my life before my… accident?"
"I suppose it wouldn't harm you. But what do you remember now?"
"Nothing except from that I'm a wolfblood along with Zoe and you which isn't exactly helpful. All Zoe could tell me last night was that we are dating and that you threw yourself at me recently. Is that true? That you are trying to steal me away from Zoe?"
I nearly faint when Rhydian says this, but I manage to hold it together long enough to leave the house and begin running to Shannon's. I burst through the door and see Shannon talking to Tom. Then I lose it, and I between my sobs I tell Shannon everything, and her and Tom's expressions fall immediately. Suddenly I can't see, and my head feels line it's being crushed. I hear Shannon say something about going to Rhydian's house before I black out.
Rhydian's POV
Maddy leaves the room and I hear the front door bang. I think I offended her. Then Zoe comes into the room, and suggests that we go to Bernie's, the cafe where we had our first date. I agree since t might help with my memory.
Zoe's mum drops us off outside the cafe and Zoe takes my hand and leads me inside. When I'm in their, I inhale and the smells make something in my brain click. I can remember who those people at the other side of cafe are! "Zoe I know who they are! That's Jimmy, Sam and Liam!" But I seem to have said it too loud, as Jimmy gets up and heads over. "What do you want Jimmy?" I say, the words coming to my tongue readily.
"Haha always so funny Rhydian!" He replies before turning to Zoe and continuing, "I see you've ditched wolf girl for a much fitter specimen."
"What are you talking about?" I ask him, confused.
"I mean Maddy, the girl you've been crushing on since you first arrived, who coincidently is one of the ugliest bitches in the scho." He doesn't get to finish his sentence as I get up and run towards him. He legs it out of the cafe, with Sam and Liam behind him. I don't even know why I did that, apparently I don't like Maddy, but I jumped up instinctively.
"I thought I was dating you Zoe, not Maddy?" I ask, now more confused than ever. "Don't be silly! You and Jimmy don't get on, he was teasing!" Zoe blabs out in a hurry, and leans into kiss me. Just as our lips touch, the door swings open and I hear Shannon shouting "Get your hands off Rhydian you dirty little slut!"
Ohhhhhh cliff hanger! Anyway please review so that I can make it better,
