CHAPTER 1: A Heart Shattered Twice

A/N: Okay, so here we go! Amy's P.O.V.

As I walked into the room, I saw Ty sitting on the couch. It had been a while since we had talked, a few days to be exact. After our first fight as a couple, I was mad, and scared. I didn't know what to do.

"Hi." I went over and sat down beside him with a smile on my face to hide my sadness and discomfort.

"Hi. How are you?" Ty had a sympathetic look on his face. Typical line to ask after a fight… What should I say?

"I've been… I've been better…" I didn't know what else to say. He looked so good sitting there and I just wanted to cuddle up with him and make-up for everything that had happened… but I couldn't, not till he apologized.

"Look," he said, with a funny look on his face, "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to, it's just, I like you so much and I've never had these feelings for someone before…"

"Me, too. But you can't push me to do something I'm not ready for. I'm not like other girls you've dated."

"I know." He smiled. I realized that I was mad at him for a stupid reason.

"Well, I forgive you!" I leaned across the couch to hug him. I hadn't realized how much I had missed being with him the past few days. It made me happy to be in his arms again.

As we came out of the embrace, Ty looked right into my eyes, and we kissed for what felt like an eternity. Once we finished, I realized that it had only been a few minutes.

"Oh! I just remembered something." I smiled and looked at him. It was good news.

"And what did you remember?" Ty looked at me with curious eyes.

"You're dad called earlier. He wants you to call him back. Here's his number. I wrote it down for you." As I handed Ty the paper with his dad's phone number, the look on Ty's face went from curious to sad and confused.

"Do you know why he called? "

"He didn't tell me anything except for the fact that you need to call him." I hugged him again. "He probably just wants to talk to you. You guys haven't talked in a long time."

"Yeah, there's a reason for that." Ty's face had a mixture of emotions and I couldn't read what he was thinking. He looked angry, yet confused and uncomfortable.

"What is it?" I was worried then from the look on Ty's face, thinking that it was something really bad, such as his father had gotten into trouble or something.

"It's nothing. I'll tell you later. I'm gonna go call him." Ty leaned over and gave me a kiss, and then got up and left for the phone in the kitchen.

I am so confused. What if something bad is happening? Will Ty tell me? Is he gonna just leave again without saying good-bye?

I didn't know what to do. I turned on the T.V. to control my emotions and sat there for a few hours before heading off to the stables.

"Hi Starlite! How are you boy?" The pony whinnied as I opened his stall door. Starlite had just arrived a few days ago. He has a problem with other horses. So far, he really likes me and Honey, the bay in the stall beside him, although he doesn't like anyone else. I am the only one who can work with him, but he has already improved.

"Amy? Can you come here please?" It was Lou calling me from her office in the barn. I gave food and water to Starlite before exiting his stall.

"What?" I asked Lou as I walked into her office.

"I'm gonna need your help with the dude ranch this weekend. Do you have any plans?" Lou was shuffling through about 20 papers on her desk, all with tons of information for the dude ranch on them.

"Well, Ty and I were thinking about seeing a movie on Saturday night. Do I need to have my nights free as well?" I really didn't want to cancel with all that had already gone on with us.

"No, it's fine. I just need you in the daytime for a few trail rides and stuff. Ty can help, too, but no boyfriend-y, girlfriend-y stuff while you're working this. All the people coming are elderly people who want some fun." As she said this, she looked at me with a stern look. It kind of scared me.

"Uhmm, okay." It was okay with me, it was Ty who would have issues. "I will work it, but let me talk to Ty. I'll go talk to him after I'm done feeding the other horses."

"Thanks!" Lou had gone back to her computer, and so I took that as a sign for me to leave.

As I fed the rest of the horses and checked over some of the timid and injured ones, I thought of Ty on the phone and what was going on. As I finished feeding the last horse, Ty walked into the barn.

"Hey, will you work the dude-ranch with me this weekend? Lou said we can still go to our movie on Saturday night, but we can't hold hands or kiss or anything while we're working. I already said yes, so will you work with me?" As I asked, I turned to him and gave him puppy-dog-eyes, cause I knew that they would seal the deal if he was having any doubts about working.

"Yeah, I guess I will work with you. Wait…since I can't kiss you or hug you all weekend, I better get my fill in over the next 2 days!!!!" As he said this he ran towards me and I ran. He chased me around a bit and then caught me. We kissed for a while, and then just laughed.

"So, did you finish your phone call?" As Ty nodded yes, he had a grim face. "What did he want?"

"He just wanted to know what was going on. I told him about the horses, and about me and you going out and having fun. He just listened and then…"

"And then what?" I was very curious. Ty did not look happy to talk about the subject, but I just needed to know. I mean, in a way, it did include me as Ty is my boyfriend.

"And then…" Ty looked like he was at a loss of words. He kind of looked shocked and angry at the same time. The look kind of scared me.

"Ty, it can't be THAT bad! Just tell me." I couldn't take it anymore.

"It is bad." I was scared what bad meant, but I waited patiently for Ty to continue, even though it took a few minutes. "My dad wants me to leave Heartland and move in with him."

I was so shocked. I couldn't breathe and I felt as though I was going to fall over and die. "Why?" I managed to choke out that one syllable, and then gasped for air, as I fell onto a barrel of hay and sat down. I could feel the tears in my eyes.

"He doesn't want me to be with you and the horses. He said that I have changed for the better, and to him, that's worse."

Everything went black as I fell to the floor, hearing Ty saying my name and his arms around me as he caught me and held me close to him.

A/N: Oh my gosh. I don't know if some of it makes sense. I just kept on writing. I wanted to end it there though so that I can write another chapter. Please review!!!
