Lost Without You
It didn't matter to her that it was what he wanted, or that it was for the best. Saying something is for the best is just the sugarcoated way of twisting a suck-ass situation into a more acceptable one. Rhydian leaving to live with his mother in the wild was one of those cases.
Ever since he had gone she felt absolutely lost. In the short time Rhydian had stayed in town, going to school and just knowing he would be there to greet her had become habit. It was expected. Maddy liked that. But now, with him gone, she was forced to wake up and face every day without him, something she hadn't expected would ever happen or have such an impact on her life.
In a way, she felt jealous of Rhydian. He was out there with his family, a family that accepted their way of life. But on the other hand, she liked being able to feel normal and sleep in a comfortable bed at the end of the day instead of a pile of leaves. And she could admit that she had felt like she and her parents had been Rhydian's new family. When Ceri and Bryn had come for him, it was like that illusion was shattered, and when he left them–left her–she felt silly for ever having thought it at all.
He loved you, Maddy, you do know that.
He told you that?
He didn't have to.
