Authors Notes: Note, Maddy keeps saying home in the chapters... don't ask me it just happened.

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

Maddy

I walk with Tom behind Shan as she leads us to her house that she shares with her boyfriend, I'm excited because it's Shan and shes happy, but I'm nervous, what if its Liam that she's dating. But thats crazy, she wouldn't have dated someone who was the main cause for her best friend to leave. She wouldn't right? I look at Tom, he seems excited, he notices my slight fear and whispers in my ear, "Don't worry, he's cool." That don't help me Tom.

Shan runs back outside excited and happy, she's dragging along with her a much older looking Harry, "The guy you danced with at the disco?" I ask thrilled and relieved it wasn't Liam. I beam a large smile at her as she whispers in his ear.

"Guys, Harry and I thought it would be a good idea if we all went out for a party. To celebrate Maddys return." She announces, I step back slightly, I know I stink and even worse, the clothes I'm wearing aren't exactly 'party material'. Shan seems slightly hurt that I've rejected the offer, I hold my hands out and explain why I don't think so. "Oh don't worry Mads, we can get you cleaned and ready in no time." And she meant that.

I was thrown into the bath, I washed myself, of course. Then Shan spent an hour or so getting me ready, "Have you been spending time with the K's?" I ask slightly shocked at how I looked in the mirror.

"No, actually my mum taught me, after you left the K's became... how can I put it... seperate packs?" she said, she used the term 'packs' in the sense that they'd fallen out – unusual – and then went their seperate ways, very unusual.

Soon I am done.

My hair is in a ponytail, I have the slightest bit of make up – the basics, mascara, eyeliner, skin tone eye shadow – my outfit is jeans, that fit like a glove but aren't actually mine, heels, I can't walk in but I wear them anyway, a sparkly blaser over a simple white shirt and a necklace. "Um... woah, thanks Shan." I am in shock... I look... good.

Both boys walk in and are shocked too.

"Wow Mads, you've put the K's to shame, ha! Good job Shan." Tom says, I laugh, I'm home, with my friends.

As we walk together towards where Harry and Shan want to go I start talking to Tom. "So... have Shan and Harry been together for five years?" I ask slightly shocked, if thats the case then my good friend Shan has kept a good relationship... I wish I could say the same thing about myself and Rhydian... but to be honest did we even have a relationship?

I don't know, to me it was just a friendship which then turned into a budding romance.

We were young. "Yeah, pretty much." Tom sighs answering my question, it makes me jump slightly, but I listen. His voice seems dull about it, I watch him for a moment as we walk, I stumble because I'm not used to these sorts of heels.

"Ok!" I announce stopping him and placing both my hands on both his shoulders looing him in the eyes and asking, "What's wrong? Wat about you have you met anyone special?" I ask, it seems to fit with the previous conversation, maybe its what is upsetting him, I don't know, I'm just geussing, but Tom looks down at his feet and smiles.

"I've met someone..." he says, but he stops for a while, I begin to growl frightening him slightly, he looks at me and continues, "But she doesnt seem to notice me, I don't think she even knows I exist." He tells me, I smile, but I'm trying to comfort him, though I feel terrible inside about Rhydian.

"So... whats her name?" I ask, eager to know.

"Saphire (A/N: from Tracey Beaker Returns) and she is great. But, I don't know if she notices me." He says looking back down at the ground, I sigh.

"What happened Tom? What happened to my friend?" I ask slightly disappointed in him.

"What do you mean?" he asks confusion showing on his features, "I'm still the same Tom as before... maybe a little older, and definetly more handsome, but nothing muh has changed." He tells me, but he doesn't see it, not like I do.

"Come on Tom! You used to be out there trying to get all the girls-" he cuts me off mid sentence scoffing. "What?" I ask.

"You just said it... I tried to get them, but lets face it Mads, I never actually got a girl, and whilst Shan had Harry and you had Rhydian, I was trying with Jana, but she was just too..." he says and then claws the air with a pretend growl, I giggle slightly, he's still funny Tom, "and then when you and your parents left and Rhydian moved on..." he stops as he see's my face, he knows I'm trying desperatly to not cry and to seem brave, but hearing Tom say that hurts me even more, "I'm sorry Mads, maybe we shouldn't talk about this subject." He tries.

I smile at him and nod, "So what happened to the others at school?" I ask him holding back the tears. "Liam? What happened to him?" I ask about him first because I want to know if anything bad happened to that boy.

"Nothing, he just stopped, I told him that you'd left because of the wolves and he just stopped. I suppose he didn't want anymore crap." Tom explains, I'm slightly happy that Tom didn't tell Liam that I was a wolfblood, because Tom knew I'd want to come back to Stoneybridge... I grew up here, I wanted to see it.

"Shan tells me the K's didn't really stay close friends... but what about them? All I got from Shan was a bad joke." I tell him, he laughs slightly as we continue to walk to our destination.

"Kay went to a different school. Kara started hanging out with the clever kids and Katrina just ung out with Liam all the time... it was very strange." he tells me, I nod, I heard that Katrina's dads business was failing, its probably why she started to hang out with Liam. "What about you." Tom asks, surprising me slightly.

"Me?" I ask slightly high pitched. Tom nods, I can't tell him everything, but I can tell him the basics, "I didn't like it at first... mum said it was cause it was new to me, and that I'd grow to like it soon, but I never did." I tell him, he interupts me and pretends to take notes. I roll my eyes.

"I think I know why that is." He says in a voice that was toned to say 'I'm Shannon and I know everything, do not question me!' I look at him expecting an answer and he just says what I already knew, "You missed home... and by that I don't just mean Stoneybridge, I mean us, me, Shan and although nows probably not the right time to admit it, but Rhydian too." I swallow a hard lump in my throat, but I know he's right, even Rhydians mum told me that.

I missed them all.

Authors Notes: Yes so as you can see there is a mention of another character from another CBBC creation, I loved that show... anyway, so as you all know next is Rhydian and he is with Jana. Tell me what you think.
