Authors Note: This one shot is inspired by the song I love you by Avril Lavigne. I used to listen to it all of the time and I recently heard it again and I automatically thought about writing a one shot. I had the song on repeat while I wrote it and I'm almost 100% sure that most of the lyrics are embedded into to my brain right now.

You can listen to the song while you ready it if you like, but there is only a few verses that I wrote into it. I didn't put the whole song in.

Anyways, I hope you guys enjoy it. and on the with one shot

Maddy/Rhydian


The Reason I love You


-Third Person-

'I like your smile.

I like your vibe.

I like your sty-le

But that's not why I love you.'

Maddy looked up from her homework and at her phone; a smile plastered on her lips. She automatically reached for her phone, turned up the volume of the song and put it on repeat.

'And I like the way,

you're such a star.

But that's not why I love you'

Maddy closed her eyes and began to tap her pencil on the table in synch with the beat of the song. The brown haired girl started to hum along and thought about a boy with blond hair. A boy she had to leave. A boy that she loved..

'Hey, do you feel?

Do you feel me?

Do you feel what I feel too?'

Maddy fluttered her eyes opened and stared at the pencil that she was continually tapping on the hard wood desk. She thought about how they met; a new boy in class. And she had openly said that he had smelt like her parents with a look of disgust. It made him the laughing stock on his first day. Though it didn't seem to mind all that much. Maddy remembered how she over heard him asking the K's about her. Well he did call her weird but still he asked about her.

The girl thought about they had become great friends. They protected one another, had each others backs. She would do anything for Rhydian and she knew he would do that same. You could ask anybody that remotely knew the two, they would say that they had a bond and if anything were to happen to one the other would be right by their side trying to help.

Maddy had thought about that first kiss. Where she had left to go into the wild with her family. To be safe from people finding out what they were. He had confessed right there, in front of their friends. Not openly of course. But with that kiss he gave her and the heart broken look on his face with the tears coming out of his blue orbs when they had finally left. Maddy knew Rhydian had loved her right then and there.

She remembered how it hurt to leave him behind. She remembered how she would wake up in the middle of the night from having dreams about him and cry until she fell back asleep again. Maddy remembered how She couldn't smile or laugh because she was away from him and her pack.

The song had ended and began to play again.

Maddy stopped tapping her pencil and grabbed a few pieces of loose leaf paper, and rummaged though her bag until she had found a black pen. She wrote on the top of the paper.

"The Reason I love you" it had said.

She began two write, not even stopping to think about what to put down on the paper because there was no need. She had things come to her; every little possible thing that could.


It had been about an hour later when the love sick teen had finally put down her pen. The music that rang in her ears from her ear buds had faded a long while ago, and the time had just flown by.

For Maddy, it hadn't felt like an hour of her life had gone by. Maybe five- ten minutes tops. But an hour? She just couldn't believe it. Maddy folded up the papers that were filled with words and between two random pages in her notebook. not planning to let another soul see it.

With being so caught up in her thoughts -and writing- Maddy hadn't sensed a presence come in to the classroom. The person snuck up right behind her.

"BOO!" The person's voice yelled.

Maddy's eyes widened and she jumped about a foot in the air. She turned around frightened, only so see a person she knew all to well.

"Jesus. Why did you have to do that?!" Maddy yelled while she tried to stop her fast beating heat from nearly being scared to death.

"Ya know, for being a wolf, you should have sensed me coming." The boy said while laughing.

Maddy rolled her eyes.

"Your scent isn't as strong and plus I have other things on me mind." She explained.

"Oh, like with what every you were writing." He asked with a smirk.

Maddy's eyes widened yet again.

"What? No!" She blubbered, clearly alarmed.

She cleared her throat.

"How do you know I was even writing, I could have been just doing homework." She said.

"Maddy, school let out an hour and a half ago, and you have been in an empty classroom since then. Every time I or the others have walked by here, you've been in here writing with a smile on your face. So it can't be homework." The guy deadpanned.

Maddy gulped and then spoke.

"It's an essay. About Great Britain."

"You were smiling because you were writing about Britain?" He asked with a raised brow, not believing a single word that came out of the brunette's mouth.

"Yeah, I just love Britain. With a passion." The brunette said with a fake grin.

"Oh, so you wouldn't mind if I read it then?" He asked.

"Yes I mind, it's for my eyes only and it isn't done yet." Maddy said getting defensive.

"Too bad." The guy said and swooped up the notebook and made a run for it, with Maddy right behind him.

They ran out of the classroom and down the hall, nearly knocking down Shan.

"Hey!" she yelled annoyed, as she watched the two run right past her.

"Give it back!" Maddy yelled as she chased the boy up a flight of stairs.

"Not until I see what you wrote!" He yelled back laughing.

As the two teens ran down another hall, the boy had an idea. He smirked as he saw a bathroom coming into his view. He ran faster and went into the boy's bathroom, locking the door right behind him.

Seconds later, there as a pounding on the door by a very agitated teenage girl.

"Give me my notebook back!" Maddy yelled.

The boy opened the notebook and started turning the paged quickly, until he found one with folded up paper. He unfolded it and began reading, ignoring the screams from the other side of the door.

Maddy paced back in forth as she bit her lip. No one was supposed to read that. Not ever.

It was between her and only her. And now? That was gone.

A lock being undone grabbed the girls attentions. She stopped in her tracks and watched as the door opened. Out came the boy who had stolen her held the notebook out to her.

Maddy took it slowly, not snatching it. She didn't know why exactly, or even what to say. And the boy knew it. So he spoke first.

"Is that how you feel?" He asked.

All she did was nod.

The boy looked at her and smiled.

"You should give it to him Madds."

"Why would I ever do that?" She asked.

"Because he deserves to know how you feel about him. Because he loves you; loved you since he first came here." The boy explained.

Maddy nodded once more.

"Thanks Tom." She said and walked away, searching for her blue eyed wolf.


Maddy had found him. He was in the photography room with Shannon and Jana. Maddy walked towards him and placed the folded up papers on his leg.

"Here." She said and leaned down giving him a swift kiss on his pale cheek, before standing up straight and walking out of the room and making her way to the classroom that had her things in it.

She left them in the photography room. One speechless and confused, while the other two were wondering what in the hell had just happened before their eyes.

Jana was the one to say something.

"Well, what did she give you?"

Rhydian took the papers and unfolded them. He saw the familiar handwriting of Maddy's.

As he read a smile had appeared on his face and it only grew bigger as he continued.

Once finished with it, Rhydian had gotten up and left, with it still in hand.

"Ugh, what could it have possibly been?" Jana wined.

"I don't know," Shan responded.


Rhydian found her in the woods. She was leaning up against a tree, he had followed her scent. Rhydian walked over to Maddy and stood right in front of her. His blue eyes staring down into her beautiful hazel ones.

She didn't dare say a word, just stared up at him.

"I love you too." Rhydian said.

Maddy broke out into a smile.

In return, Maddy put his hands on her neck and leaned down, crashing his lips onto hers.


~The Letter~

'Rhydain,

I've known you for a few years and we've become great friends and even more then that and I can honestly say (on paper) that I love you. I love you with all of my heart. You have all of these traits and quirks, that I've seen and laughed at or got annoyed by. Everything about you just makes you, you. and I love it. I love you.

Your hair, your pale white skin, and your ocean blue eyes that seem to sparkle when you stare at a full moon? I love.

You're artistic and athletic skills in which you dominate? I love.

The way you're not afraid to fight with me and put me into my place even since day one where I said you didn't belong here, you had such snark to you and I loved it.

You don't let anybody push you around. whether it's Jimi or me. You have no tolerance for it. and I love it.

When every I seem to be in trouble or anybody else for that matter you seem to always be there to help. You're protective and strong (whether it's being physical and emotional) I love it.

Your dumb jokes that you think are funny? Even though I say I hate it, I love them.

You know, I remember when I was gone away from you and I was miserable because I just couldn't be away from you. I wouldn't eat, I didn't have an appetite, I was heartbroken that my love had to see me go.

I would dream about you every night. and then wake up and cry because I couldn't be there with you, I would cry myself to sleep. I remember being sleepless because I couldn't bare to only see you in my dreams and then wake up to only realize that I was gone and thousands of miles away.

I remember when I finally came back to Stoney bridge, the first person I went and saw was you. My family and I had gotten back on a rainy Tuesday night and I saw you in your room drawing away at your desk. You looked so much in pain and it hurt me knowing that you were hurting too. I remember when you say me, all wet from the rain staring into your window you looked scared. Like I was some ghost, trying to haunt you. But you opened the window anyways and pulled me hugging me, not caring that you would get wet.

I remember you not wanting to let me go and you were crying and so was I, and I love it. Every second. Because I was home again. I was with you again, and all the heartbreak I had vanished into thin air.

All these things you do, all of these moments that have happened between us; I love.

Whether it's bad or good.

I don't care, because they are memories that were made by us and I love it.

You're being you. and I love it.

I love you, being you.

I love you, and I hope you love me too.


A/N: I hope you guys liked it, I think the letter part was kind of sucky because I didn't know what to write so I just put stuff together. but yeah..
