First off I would like to say tank you for the reviews on both this story and my other Heartland story 'Ten Things', second I will be adding the third and final part to this hopefully late tonight or in the morning.
Lou watched silently from the doorway of her sister's hospital room. If Ty noticed her from his constant watch he did not show it, he simply continued to caress Amy's hand gently as if willing her to wake up. Looking at them Lou never would have guessed that they were the same teenagers that fell for each other all those years ago. She never thought they would make it, both of them too young and stubborn to make it work. They would hit a rough patch and fall apart, but they would always come back together.
If anything they grew stronger, closer, falling deeper in love than anyone else had ever been in. Their teenaged love grew into something so indescribable that she could not name, as if labeling could take away what it really was. Ty's eyes would soften when he looked at her, his smile showing pure adoration when she wasn't looking. Amy would light up when she saw him, sneak glances at him when she thought no one was looking. Unconsciously showing how much they loved each other.
She knew along with everyone else that they could lose Amy, she could not wake up or simply slip away. But if that happened, they would lose Ty as well. Not physically, but he would never be the same without her.
When Ty had come to Heartland for the first time she almost begged her grandfather to send him back from wherever he came from. Moody, ill-tempered, and clearly not wanting to be there, Ty did not apper to be what the family needed.
But he was, over time he went from the troubled boy in the loft to the young man he was now. He gave all the credit to Amy, saying that she saved him. He never realized that she needed saving too, the broken hearted girl was brought back to life by him. They went from two people who needed saving to two people in love.
As Lou watched the men she thought of as her little brother fall asleep she crept into the room, keeping watch over two people that she loved. Knowing that if she lost one of them that she would lose both.
