This will be my second fanfic on this website but my first one for Heartland. I hope everyone likes it; I will be starting after the first season. When Ty comes back and has been beaten up really bad. That is where I will begin, I own nothing from Heartland nothing about this is true, it is just a story I make up as I go. Thanks for reading and comments and feedback would be amazing! Hope you enjoy!
Love Still Exists
Chapter 1
Amy's POV
It has been four months since I have seen or heard from Ty, everyone keeps telling me how I am young and that this pain will go away but for some reason I do not feel like this is just a young crush. I know Ty and I have not officially been together as a couple but I felt like we were a couple we just did not put the label on it. After everything I went through this past year with losing my mom I felt like Ty was the one who held things together for me, he was the one human that I could put all of my energy into so I would not think about the horrible pain in my heart from losing my mom. I wish more than anything that she were here right now. She always knew what to do, grandpa loves me and tries really hard to act brave and tell me that it will get better but I think he is trying to convince himself that more than anything because he loved Ty just as if he were his own son. Since he left I have been avoiding everyone and just throwing myself into my work. So when I do go out in public I get the same sympathy look I got right after my mom died. I just wish he would call me to let me know that he was ok; I thought that I actually meant something to him. I guess that is why they tell good girls never to fall in love with bad guys.
Tys POV
Being away from Heartland has made me really see how much that place has really changed me and how for the first time ever in my life that I was actually happy, I had a nice place, a family who cared about me, a stable job, and I had Amy. She was one of the most frustrating yet most amazing people I have ever met. She cares so deeply for horses and is willing to do anything to help them. I have never seen someone who is able to connect with a horse the way she does. Believe it or not I miss Jack almost just as bad as I miss Amy, he has helped me feel safe again. The father figures I had growing up I was terrified of and hurt but Jack made me feel safe and taught me a lot of things. Moving here with my biological dad was a big mistake, working whatever job I can find while he is out blowing our money and then having to borrow from loan sharks who have come after me before looking for him. I miss the safety of the loft above the barn and waking up to see Amy every morning. I don't know why I cannot get this girl out of my head but something tells me she is going to be there for a while.
Amy's POV
Today is my birthday and I am actually going out with our new ranch hand named Caleb. He is a rodeo man he loves doing that but when he does not have a rodeo to go to he works on our ranch. I have known Caleb for years our paths just never crossed for us to be friends until now. When we are driving down the road to Maggie's I can't help but look at the side of the road where on Tys first day at the ranch he punched my boyfriend in the face and then followed me in his truck until I got in. I felt guilty thinking about him when I am supposed to be hanging out with Caleb but Ty is always on my mind. No matter what he is always there somewhere. When we get to the restaurant Caleb announces that he forgot his wallet which I found suspicious because I know I saw it in his pocket. When we drove up the drive way I instantly knew what was going on. One of Lou's "surprise dinners" she was famous for those. I have to admit having everyone there felt great but my grandpa was not there. Grandpa never missed my birthday but I didn't think too much into it and I enjoyed myself at my party.
Tys POV
My dad forgot to pay the loan shark again and I took a major beating for it, I was tired of this I knew where I belonged I just needed a way to get back to it. They busted up my truck pretty bad, stole all of the cash I had on me, and beat me up pretty bad but I did not care about any of that all I wanted was to go back home to Heartland. I picked up my dad's main line and waited for someone to pick up at Amy's house and Jack did. At this time the loan sharks where back trying to get in the house saying they were not finished with me yet. Jack could hear them and asked where I was at. All I could spit out was the address before they broke in the door and drug me outside. I was continuously being hit with something medal in my back and getting my face crushed, I could feel almost all of my ribs breaking. I thought they were eventually going to beat me to death and I started going unconscious. I had that feeling like right before you have surgery and they give you the drugs like you are under water and can't move. But I felt the beating stop and I felt myself being picked up and put into a truck. I recognized the smell of the truck; I was back in Jacks truck going back to Heartland.
Amys POV
I was standing in the kitchen talking to Mallory when I saw grandpas truck pull up, I told Lou grandpa was back and we all went out on the porch but the happiness I felt about grandpa being back quickly went away when I saw a beaten Ty in the front seat. So many emotions were running through me, fear, sadness, happiness but most of all anger. The brave side of me told me I did not want him here but my heart was over joyed that he was.
