Everything seemed to freeze. The words echoed around her head, all fizzed and blurred in her mind. Thoughts of Rhydian leaving Stoneybridge, never seeing him again, all the heart break and journeying for nothing....
Maddy could feel the tears coming. They pricked her eyes as she stared at the red carpet. She didn't know why the news had hit her so hard. He was just a boy; him moving wasn't a big deal, surely?
Yet, the way Shan had said it, he might as well of moved to America.
Maddy scolded herself, and cleared her throat. The tears started to overflow.
"Wh-where?" She stuttered, begging the panic to calm down.
"Oh!" Shan threw her had over her mouth as she realised what impression she had offered to her friend.
"It's nothing to worry about, Mads!" She comforted, patting her friend's shoulder.
Maddy sniffed. The panic subsided a little as she looked up and managed a small grin.
"Really?" She asked.
Shan and Tom nodded.
"Yeah!" Exclaimed Tom. He looked at Shan and they shared a mischievous smile. Shan nodded.
"And you'll never guess where!"
Sitting up straighter, Maddy's face crumpled into an expression of confusion.
Shannon glanced up at the window; the moors were barely lit by the moon and the thin streaks of sunlight that cut through the thick clouds, the last signs of sunset. The light cast shadows everywhere, and the crooked trees swayed in the wind.
Her eyes shone. Her grin grew, until her whole pale face was illuminated.
"I think there's time to take you there, don't you?"
