Love Still Exists
Chapter 3
Amy's POV
Ty has been back at Heartland for two weeks now and we have barley spoken to each other, Grandpa let him stay inside the house after that first night because he said it was too cold in the loft for him to be sleeping up there until his body got stronger. So seeing him on the couch every morning did not make things easy but I have learned to ignore him as best as I can. He has healed really well and started sleeping up in the loft again last night. I needed his help with this wild horse that I was trying to help but Ty was still sleeping so as much as I didn't want to I walked up the steps to the loft. When I opened the door Ty had the blanket pulled up to his bare shoulders. He never slept in a shirt no matter how cold it was because he said it made him feel trapped in his sleep. I walked up to the bed and started shaking it.
"Ty you have to get up! I need your help with Ghost!" I yelled.
"Go away Amy, go get Caleb to help you." He said and I could tell he was being sarcastic.
"Fine I will. Just thought you would like to help since he seems to be attached to you."
"Fine." Ty said
Ty flung back the covers and when he did I noticed he was as naked as the day he was born and I instantly slammed the door and could hear him laughing.
"I hate you!" I screamed through the door.
Tys POV
Amy and I were still barley speaking to each other so I thought that I would just lighten the mood and make her laugh a little bit. That's why I purposely stood up naked in front of her. I knew she would be humiliated but then she would laugh as she went down the stairs. I was glad Jack let me stay in the house while I was getting better because being that cold while I was hurt would not be a good thing but I liked my loft. It was safe up there and it was where I felt at home. I bought an extra space heater but made sure to turn it off before I fell asleep. I put some clothes on and slowly made my way down the stairs. Most of me felt better but my ribs were still awful. So I had to take things slow, when I walked down the stairs of course there was Caleb with that big goofy grin on his face trying to get ghost to come to him but Ghost was not liking it at all.
"Here I will get him." I said walking over to them.
"I can get him city slicker; I have been raised around horses I know what I am doing."
"Caleb, just let him do it. Ghost always comes when Ty calls for him." Amy snapped.
I can't believe Amy just stood up for me against Caleb that has not happened since I got back. She always chooses Caleb over me for everything. Even just helping do the dishes or clean out the stalls. Caleb thinks we are in some kind of competition but there is no competition Amy and I had something special that not even he could interfere with. Amy is mad at me right now and I don't blame her but I know that I will win her back it is just going to take some time.
"Ty make sure you run him and make sure he gets fed he hasn't been eating very much and if it doesn't get better I will have to call Scot." Amy said as her and Caleb left.
Amy's POV
It felt good to have Ty make me laugh again, I think that is one of the reasons I fell for him to start with because he always made me laugh. I am so serious all of the time and it is nice to have someone make you laugh and show you how to have fun. Caleb was fun to be around and was a nice guy and I admit I may have a little crush on him but nothing like what I feel for Ty. But I do like making Ty jealous with Caleb because I know it drives him crazy. Just a little taste of his own medicine, I know I won't be able to do it for very long though because every time I get around Ty the pain goes away a little bit more each time. I will eventually stop being mad he is just going to have to show me that he is not going to leave again because having him leave again would be horrible and I don't want to have to go through that again.
"Hey Amy lets go to Maggie's tonight?" Caleb said loud enough for Ty to hear.
"Sorry but I have school tomorrow and still haven't done any of my homework and I am already behind in my Science class." I said and walked into the house.
Tys POV
I laughed at Amy's rejection because I knew that I was winning and that Caleb had only done that to make me mad but he got turned down. I saw that he was angry and he started walking my way.
"Look Ty just because she is busy tonight doesn't mean I still won't get what I want. Who do you think she will pick? A guy that knows everything about how to run a ranch and work with horses or someone who drives a beat up old truck and a motorcycle instead of a horse? She's a country girl Ty. You are the last thing on her mind trust me."
"That's the thing Caleb, I don't trust you." I said with a grin and walked to the barn to take care of the rest of the horses.
I knew I had won that round with Caleb I knew there would be more ahead that he may win but for now I had won.
