Chapter 3
The hand on the clock ticked round oblivious to reality, as the minutes went by, the hours stacked up: people would pass and busy by; all caught up in their own tragedy. The noise around became a simple dim to Ty. People would talk others would cry and others would smile and laugh as each would await their fait.

"Ty Borden?" A nurse queried; breaking into his thoughts.
"Yes?" He looked up hopefully,
"Dr Marley would like to talk with you in his office?" She explained, giving a quick sympathetic smile before she moved on. Ty nodded and stood up; using everything in his power not to run into the theater and see her face to hold her hand and to avoid the truth that was waiting behind that office door...

"Ty Borden?"
"That's me," he said with a sigh,
"I have some news, some bad news and well just some news...", Ty nodded staring at the floor, "As you probably already know, Amy was shot; and well it took sometime to find a fix a solution if you like?" He explained before taking a deep breath and saying: "The bullet had been imbedded in her chest for over twelve hours, any longer: i'm afraid we wouldn't even be having this conversation." He said, seriously.
"Amy means everything to me!" Ty cried; with a lump wedged firmly in his throat faltering his every word.
"I understand, and we are doing our very best I promise you... The operation was successful and we were able to remove the bullet. There will be external scars as well as mental scars. Amy will get better, gradually over time, what happened to her is fatal and believe me i know you feel useless, but what you did when you went looking for her, you saved her life; remember that..." Ty nodded as tears fell down his face, "I warn you it won't be pretty but somewhere inside she is still there, she still loves you and to be honest that is what has kept her going to see you again. But you need to help her; to find it inside, be patient and everything will be okay." The doctor finished wiping a tear that had worked its way down his cheek. "Just stay strong; and never leave her... Okay?"
"I promise... And thank you, I appreciate it." Ty said as he wiped yet another falling tear as he shook hands, "Thank you..."
