You Still Move Me
By: hshygns14
This story is set five years after Amy leaves to go on the European Tour. Ty and Amy agreed to mutually split and go their separate way while she was in Europe.
Chapter 1 – "A New Life"
The fast paced travel of training horses all around the world had Amy Flemming in a constant state of jet lag. As much as she loved her job, coming home to Heartland twice every year was the highlight of her life. Before the plane landed, Amy took in the beautiful landscape that she had come accustomed to in her young life. The vibrant lifestyle of France didn't compare to the beauty of the Canadian Country.
The luggage carousel seemed to go around a hundred times before Amy's suitcase finally appeared in front of her. Amy's blue duffel bag was just big enough for her to carry the things she needed for the short week she would be in town. She quickly picked it up and threw it over her shoulder. Amy turned and retreated quickly. She was so ready to get out of the airport and in the car to Heartland.
"Ouch!" The man complained as Amy accidentally barreled into his body from behind.
Amy fell to the floor from the impact of his body. "Gah, I'm sorry. I need to pay more attention."
The young man didn't say a word until he turned and realized who the young women was that had just ran him over. "Amy?"
She crunched her eyebrows at the man's voice. She knew that voice…almost too well. Amy slowly tilted her head to look up at the man who stole her heart many years ago. He was more handsome in his older age than when he was a teenager. Time had really done him well. She reluctantly took his offered hand so she could get up off the floor.
"How are you? It's been awhile." Ty asked as he helped her pick up her bag.
Amy couldn't help but continue to look at him. The last time she talked to Ty, it wasn't on the best of terms. "Everything has been good. I'm just home to visit for a week."
Ty gulped while she answered his question. He looked at her bright, blue eyes and her long blonde hair. She was different than he remembered. Her hair was pulled back in a loose, business like ponytail and she had on a black, casual leather jacket. He noticed that she was more beautiful than he ever imagined. A woman that was supposed to be his wife, but he gave up and let her go.
"How about you?"
Ty smiled. "Well, I actually co-own a practice in Vancouver with a friend from vet school. I had to come to Hudson to help Scott with a few mustangs."
Amy was now curious. "What's wrong with the mustangs?"
Ty knew she couldn't resist a chance to rescue a few horses. "Some ranchers want to cull many of them. I guess you can say we are going to try to get them vaccinated and a chance to find a home."
Amy nodded her head noting that she understood. As much as she wanted to catch up, a car was waiting to pick her. "Ty, it was nice seeing you. If you need any help tell Scott to call the ranch. I'm sorry, but I have a car waiting."
"Okay, well, maybe I'll see you around…."
"Bye, Ty." Amy stated before turning around and walking toward the entrance of the airport.
Ty let out a huge breathe as he watched her walk away. The last time he had saw her, she was on a different path, one that didn't involve him or the life they had planned out. Every now and then, he thought about how life would be with Amy. He smiled thinking about it again. Their perfect little ranch with 2.5 kids and a hundred horses. The hundred horses was Amy's idea. Whether he liked it or not, Amy Flemming still moved him.
Next: Chapter 2
A/N: I know this a short chapter, but it will get longer through the series. I'm not sure how long it will be, but I've already wrote half the story. I kind of like it Thanks everyone for reading!
I do not own Heartland, or any of the characters!
