Prologue

Third person P.O.V.

The three teens laughed as they shoved their blonde classmate into the lockers. They laughed as they walked away, while the young girl just sank to the floor, pulling her knees up to her chest, fully aware of the blood coming down her forehead. He saw her. He saw them do this to her. His heart went out to the girl. As if on instinct he walked over.

''Amy?'' he ask hesitantly.

''Y-you know my name?'' the girl, Amy, asks trying to drown a sob.

''Of course I do. We went to school together since kindergarten. Are you alright?'' the boy asks. ''Do you want to go to the school nurse?''

A light blush creeps to her cheeks. ''Do you mind, Ty? Would you want to be seen with a girl like me?'' Amy asks, unsure of what to make of the situation unfolding itself.

''What do you mean by a girl like you? You're amazing, and beautiful,'' he says it without even thinking about it. Both of their cheeks turn bright red. He reaches for her hand and sparks fly, he doesn't let go though, he carefully pulls her up, and then he wraps an arm around her shoulder to give give her support. He walk her over to the nurses office and knocks on the door. By this point, majority of Amy's weight is supported by his body.

The door opens and Nurse Nancy lets a gasp escape her lips.

''What happened to her, Ty?'' Nancy, she likes it when the students refer to her by her first name, asks as she opens the door wider to let them in.
''Some kids shoved Amy into the lockers, and her forehead is bleeding,'' Ty says, leading Amy into the room and getting her to sit down. Nancy gets some disinfectant and gets to work on Amy's forehead, making sure that's it's nothing too serious.

''Why would they do that?'' Nancy said, mostly to herself. ''This might sting a little,'' she said to Amy as she put the disinfectant wipe on the cut on her forehead. Amy winced when the material of the wipe touched the cut, and unconsciously gripped Ty's hand. As soon as the wipe left her forehead Amy relaxed. ''I'm going to write the two of you a pass, give it to the secretery, and Ty take her home, okay?'' Nancy says as she takes a piece of paper and a pen out of a drawer in her desk.

''Okay,'' Amy and Ty say in unison. Nancy hands the pass to Ty and smiles at him and Amy. Ty helps Amy up and leads her out of Nancy's office. They walk down the hall to the secretary's office and Ty hands in the pass. Sarah, the school secretary, takes the pass from him and reads it, then nods in conformation, signaling that they can leave.

Ty leads Amy over to his truck and opens the door for her, waiting until she's sitting before closing it. He walks over to the drivers side of the truck and climbs in. He doesn't start the truck though, instead he looks at Amy with a worried look in his eye.

''I hate to be asking you this, but, are they bullying you?'' Ty asks. Amy's silence being enough answer for him, he slides down the seat and wraps his arms around her. Soon enough, Amy's sobs are the only sound filling the truck. Ty rubs her back supportively while he rocks her. ''Do you want to go home?'' he asks after a while. Amy nods.

''Take the next turn-off on the right,'' Amy says, her voice still shaking from crying.

As Ty pulls the truck to a stop in front of the rustic ranch house, Jack Bartlett, Amy's grandfather, walks out of the barn. When he notices the truck in his drive, his walk picks up speed. When he finally reaches the navy 1958 GMC pickup and sees Amy sobbing into a boy's chest, there is only one thing going through his mind. What in the world is going on? He thinks. Jack taps the window gently and the boys looks up. Ty carefully opens the truck door.

''What's going on, young man?'' Jack asks before Ty can say anything.

''There was a bit of an incident at school. Ty Borden,'' Ty says, extending his arm out.

''Jack Bartlett, Amy's Grandfather. Why don't you come inside,'' Jack says, shaking Ty's hand firmly. Ty climbs out of the truck and Amy follows. As soon as her feet touch the ground, Amy clings onto Ty as if her life depends on it. They slowly follow Jack into the house, once inside they take off their shoes and walk into the living room and sit on the coach, while Jack sits on his chair by the fireplace.

''So, what exactly happened?'' Jack asks after a few minutes of silence. Ty looks and Amy, and she nods softly.

''A few kids shoved Amy into a row of lockers, sir,'' Ty says. Jack nods. More silence.

''What happened after that?'' Jack questions.

''I saw them do it to Amy. I walked over to her and helped her, then I took her to the school nurse. Nurse Nancy checked Amy out because her forehead got cut, and gave us a pass to leave and take Amy home,'' Ty answers honestly.

''I'm going to change into something more comfortable,'' Amy says the first thing since she and Ty got to Heartland.

''Okay,'' Jack says, nodding. Amy walks up the stairs to her room. Ty waits until he hears her bedroom door close before continuing.

''Those kids are bullying Amy, sir,'' Ty says sadly to Jack. ''We need to do something about it,'' he adds.
