Authors Notes: So... they're not getting back together yet... Shannons being the overprotective best friend. I seem to like the word 'so'. Also I've created the picture and I myself am very pleased with that.
You Said You'd Find Me, But I Found You
Rhydian
Emma's watching over her little cub now. I know Maddy hates it when Emma calls her that. But as I watch Emma stroke Maddy's hair out of her pretty sleeping face I let go of a sigh. Emma looks in my directiong with a small smile, I smile back before leaving them. I head down the stairs greeted by two angry faces... Shannon's one of course, but Dan's the other. Jana's looking at me panicky and Tom's making cups of tea, so I can't see his face. "Everyone alright?" I ask my voice slightly quiet but audible for everyones ears.
Dan leaves the room going upstairs, I don't know why but he keeps an eye on me as he walks past, I look back at Shannon, "I think you should go." She tells me, I blink. She's bossing me around? Does she not remember that before Maddy helped me I was a wild lone wolf. I give a laugh of disbelief.
"Excuse me?" I ask, she pauses for a while, I take this as silence for me to leave, but I won't, not until I know Maddy's alright, "I don't think thats for you to decide Shannon. I saved Maddy, I want to know she's alright." I tell her with a strong glare on my face, Jana runs up the stairs following Dan, I don't care why.
Shannon places her hands on her hips, "Yes well done Rhydian, you saved her, but she wouldn't have needed saving had you not cheated on her breaking her heart." She tells me.
I roll my eyes, she's trying to take control of everything, of Maddy's life, I lean against the kitchen counter and look at her smugly, she intensifies her glare at me, I just smirk and say, "Your not her mum." And she's silent. I take this as 1-0 to Rhydian.
But then I hear Maddy's mum call, and it all comes crashing down, "But I am... and I agree with Shannon, how dare you break my daughters heart." She snarls, and I can tell before looking at her that her eyes are that gold colour, if she believes Shannon and Dan believes her too I have no hope... except for Maddy, but I don't even know if she believes me. Please believe me Maddy.
"Mrs Smith, please, I would never mean to hurt Maddy-" I beg, but she cuts me off.
"But you did, Rhydian, and she almost died today, so I'm sorry, but you have to go." Mrs Smith told me, I looked at my feet feeling an ache in my heart, then looked up and nodded, I can't fight wit Emma, she knows what's best for Maddy, so I left.
Maddy
I woke up to hushed tones of people telling someone they had to leave, I was too dizzy to make out who they were talking to or who about, but the next thing I know is my dad has returned and is pulling me into a tight embrace. Whilst hugging me tightly he whispers in my ear, "Everythings alright, the mad womans gone, we're safe now..." he pauses for a while, I guess he's thinking about what to say next, "Rhydian saved you." He says, my heart beat speeds up at hearing his name, but the way my dad reacts, makes me think where he is now.
"Dad?" I question as I pull away, he smiles at me weakly, before clearing his throat. Mam walks in and as soon as she see's me awake she bursts into tears of happiness and pulls me into another bone crushing embrace, as I pull away I can see the guilt clearly in their eyes, "Where is he, mam?" I ask about Rhydian, mam looks at her feet and sighs.
"We told him to leave, pet. Shannon told us he'd hurt you and so we told him to leave. Its for the best." Me mam tells me, I move away from her slightly, how can it be for the best? The only reason I got into this mess of coming back was for him. I need to speak to him.
"Mam! Why? I could've dealt with it myself! Why'd you make him go?" I demand to know.
"Maddy, he hurt your feelings, and in your state I don't think you'll be dealing with anything. Look, we know how you feel about him love, but give it time and you'll move on." She tells me, I roll my eyes.
"How can I move on, he's one of the reasons I came back here!" I tell her, my eyes beginning to water from tiredness and stress over the situation, my mam pulls me back into a hug and tries to calm me down, but I push her away with tears streaming down my face and run past her, I get down the stairs and see Shannon, Tom and Jana, they all smile when they see me, but the look on my face says it all, and Shannon looks guilty.
"Mads, I didn't want to see you hurt again, please, you've got to understand, I had to do something. I missed my mate for five years and finally when she comes back, he hurts ya... please Mads." Their are tears streaming down her face too now, I feel guilty, I understand what she means but she had no right in getting into mine and Rhydian's business like that.
"I know, Shan. And I'm sorry." I say with a weak smile, she smiles back, then my face becomes serious, "But I need to sort this out. I can't leave it like this." I tell her.
Though I can tell she disagree's she nods and lets me go past. I thank her just before I leave.
When I get outside the house, I can't smell him, I don't want to use eolas, I want to find him myself, but I can't, there's nothing I can smell, I can't hear him, and worst of all I have no idea where he lives now.
He's gone.
Authors Notes: Okay, so I've come up with the idea of Stoneybridge having like some big party and everyone that goes has to wear a mask, but I don't have a clue what those sorts of parties are. Please, if anyone knows please tell me.
