Disclaimer: I do not own heartland
This is set after 7x09 after Amy's accident as I've been pondering what will happen next while is waiting till January 12th.
Chapter 1: You and Me
Ty sat in his trailer looking at his phone impatiently. He knew what he had said to Amy was wrong and he felt sick for the comment he had made about wanting to buy the ranch for them. Just because Amy had been paid a huge lump sum from the prince, being an objectivist like her father. Tim had just gotten to him and he was angry because he wanted to be traditional. Ty now realized nothing about himself or Amy was traditional.
The clock struck ten o'clock. No matter how angry either of them was she would always call him to say goodnight around this time and yet no call. He tried to tell himself that is nothing and she was probably still with the princes horses. He laid down in his bed and put his phone beside him, and pondered.
Ten minutes later still no call, he carefully dialed her number and the phone kept ringing. He hung up his phone. He had really messed up this time; he just wanted to give Amy the best. He could feel something was wrong something had happened to her, he knew it. He got in his truck and drove off to Heartland. When he arrived he noticed a light was still on in the kitchen. She must have stayed awake waiting for him to come over. He jumped out of his truck and heard the telephone ring. He saw Lou slowly make her way to the phone from the window.
"Hello…. Yes this is her…. No what happened?... We will be there shortly…" Lou spoke before hanging up the phone. Ty watched carefully then decided to step into the house.
"Lou, what's wrong?" He said as he saw her face more clearly
"It's Amy there has been an accident, she is being airlifted to the hospital" Lou said face as she started to pace. Ty debated running to his truck and not saying a word to Lou. He walked over and hugged his soon to be sister in law.
"Go get changed, I will drive you" Ty spoke to Lou
"I have to tell Grandpa" Lou stated
"I can do that" Ty said. Lou nodded in agreement and went to her room. Ty knocked on Jack's door. "Jack, its Amy she's been hurt, their airlifting her to the hospital" Ty said very slowly, not even a minute later Jack was at the door ready to go.
"She has my truck" Jack said
"It's okay I can drive" Ty spoke
"I'm ready to go, Peter will stay here with the kids, and I will call Dad from the road" Lou informed to boys before heading out the door and getting into Ty's truck, the both followed and drove off into the night.
When they arrived at the hospital, the doctor explained the Amy had suffered a severe head injury from one of the horses at Hill Hurst. She was in critical condition and the next 72 hours were vital if she is to survive. She had a major skull fracture and surgery was to be done to relieve the pressure to her brain. She was in a medically induced coma to prevent further injury. One person could go in and see her before they took her off the surgery. Jack and Lou looked at each other.
"Ty you go see her" Lou said. Ty nodded and followed the doctor in. When he saw Amy, he almost lost it thinking how stupid their fight had been. He walked up to her side and clutched her hand. She had so many tubes attached to her, she wasn't breathing on her own she was attached to the mechanical ventilator. He leaned over and kissed her forehead. He debated if he should talk to her, would she even hear him? But he knew what he wanted to say so he said it.
"Amy Fleming, I love you. I sorry for what I said about wanting to buy the ranch for you, it was silly and stubborn of me. I can't believe this happened, you need fight, fight for living because I don't know how to live without you. You're everything to me and I can't believe this may be the end. Amy, you need to get through this the entire family counts on your spirit and you're too young and talented to be lost now. I will be here until you wake up. I love you." He leaned over and kissed her forehead. The doctor walked in and took Amy off the surgery.
Ty walked back to the waiting room and sat down beside Lou and Jack. The waiting had begun. It was killing Ty inside, why did he have to be so stubborn, because if they weren't in a disagreement he would have gone with Amy, that evening. He needed to get to the route of the problem, but that was for later for now he was going to sit here waiting for Amy to come out of surgery.
"She's going to get through this" Lou softly stated
"My granddaughter is a fighter, she has always been. Especially when there is something worth fighting for" Jack said. Ty stood up and walked out of the waiting room and down the hallway. Amy needed to be okay, he needed her. He sat down against the wall with his head in his hands.
"Ty, you got to stop beating yourself up" Lou sat down beside him
"Lou, I was being stubborn. I told her that I wanted to buy her the farm. She did not like that because she had gotten that money from the prince. I just feel responsible because if wasn't so stubborn she would be fine right now"
"She wanted to buy that farm for you, you know that because you're in school and that's where your money should be going"
"It is so silly thinking about it now"
"That farm was perfect for you two; I think deep inside you both just wanted the best for each other instead of working together as a team" Lou stated, as the doctor made his way down the hall the two got up and walked back to the waiting room to be with Jack.
