During lunch Soraya and Matt didn't stop talking about the party, who was invited, the type of food and drinks there might be, the decorations, and what Ashley might wear. It surprised Amy that Ty had kept quiet and that wasn't babbling with them. Maybe he is still thinking about the exchange he had with Matt… but what was it about… really???

Amy continued to think about it and remembered her own exchange with Soraya. Was she right? Maybe Ty did like her… Well either way I can't lose my best friend because of a boy… I had to ask Soraya for forgives.

Amy just couldn't stand any more fights with anyone. It was just wrong and she was being so unlike herself! I know what I'll do, I'll ask Soraya to come with me on a trail ride after lunch and we'll talk then. Also, I will go to the party, think of going with a great friend and ignore the fact that Soraya was going with Ty.

"Calling from earth to Amy! Are you there?" Amy came out of her reverie and noticed everyone looking at her. "We have all finished eating and you haven't even started." Lou said to Amy looking at the plates around them. "Are you ok?"

Amy grinned sheepishly realizing that what Lou said was true. She had been spaced out for a long time but at least she had solved her problems and was feeling much better than she had been before lunch and she hadn't had that feeling in days. "Sorry Lou, I guess I wasn't hungry, I'll eat this for dinner though." With that said Amy jumped of her seat and ran outside hoping that the others would follow.

As soon as Soraya left the barn house Amy called her over. "Hi."

"Hi" Soraya looked at Amy with curiosity, like she had no idea why Amy was speaking to her.

"I was wondering if you would want to go on a trail ride." After Soraya didn't answer, Amy continued, "Sundance and Jasmine need exercise and it's a lovely day…So what do you think?" Amy added after Soraya just stared at her again.

"You just screamed at me the other day, told me the guy that I'm dating is actually only dating me to make you jealous, and now you just want me to go on a trail ride with you, like if nothing ever happened!" Soraya actually seemed surprise at Amy's offer.

"Ok, so I realized that we couldn't fight over a guy, I mean you're my best friend and we can't let something like that come between us."

"Oh, so you realized you were wrong! You realized Ty really likes me and he isn't dating me for you, he is dating me for me! Right?!" Amy couldn't believe that Soraya was acting this way when she was trying to make amends!

"Soraya I'm apologizing! Can you not make it so difficult! You are my best friend and no guy is worth my friendship with you… So I'm sorry! Ok?" Amy felt so frustrated with her friend.

This seemed to shake Soraya and wake her up, "right, I'm sorry too? So everything is ok between us?"

Amy smiled at her friend, "Of coarse it is… Now, let's go for that ride!"

As Amy and Soraya clopped back into the yard they were both laughing and making jokes of each other. The trail ride had worked wonders and they were completely back to normal and they had also decided that Soraya would come to Heartland on Friday to get ready for the party so they could go together. They had even discussed what they were going to wear…!

As they were going into the barn to leave the horses they found an unexpected familiar face. "So I arrive here expecting to find everyone sad and missing me and I found out that you are all preparing yourself for a party and laughing, no signs of anyone pining for me… Now that hurts!" Ben joked as he saw them come in.

"Ben!!!" Both my and Soraya exclaimed with big smiles on there faces. It was so great that he was back. His jokes were an essential part of the mood in the barn.

"How come are you home early? Weren't you supposed to arrive in two days?" Amy asked him.

"That's nice, I hoped you would be glad… but sadly for you my mum had to come back for work so I found no point in staying there alone so I came back with her." Ben was obviously in a good mood, he must have had a great time… and he didn't know anything about the conflicts they had had while he was away… what would he think about everything? Thought Amy, What would he think of Soraya dating Ty and me dating Matt?

"No! I didn't mean it that way! We are al really glad you are home, especially because Ashley would take back the invitations if you weren't here." Amy laughed.

Ben groaned. "What will I do to keep her away from me? You will help me right? Otherwise she will have me as her prisoner all night long." Amy laughed knowing it was true. "Well we'll see, it might be fun to let her do that."

"Amy! You are no help at all! Soraya will help me right?" Ben looked hopefully at Soraya whom was standing besides Amy with a dreamy expression on her face, obviously thinking about the party.

"I don't think I will… I might be having too much fun with Ty..." Soraya looked very pleased with herself and Amy decided that she couldn't fight with Soraya again so she left to give Sundance a good grooming before she went back to work some more on Caliman As she was leaving she saw Ben's confused face and heard him ask, "What do you mean?" And then after Soraya telling him they were dating and Ben congratulating her.

After grooming Sundance and doing some T-touch on him Amy decided to take Caliman on a walk on the lead rope. She thought that if she did that he might notice that she is taking interest on him, plus he needed the exercise from not being ridden. While she was leading him she let him explore anything he felt attracted to and then she took her to meet all the horses and let them touch noses. He looked alert and interested but she still wasn't seeing signs of him showing some love for her or even a bit of happiness to be with her. Once more, Amy felt frustrated with the brown horse but mostly with herself. Would she ever reach him?

For the next few days, Amy busied herself with al the horses but focused especially on Caliman. She gave him extra attention and treats hoping it would make him feel special and not taken for granted. She decided that some work would to him good to so she lunged him twice a day for half an hour. She didn't know if it was working but it was worth the try.

The day of the party arrived and Amy felt thrilled to have a party. She didn't go out often or get a chance to dress up due to the barn work, not that she cared, she loved her work and felt comfortable in her normal work jeans, t-shirt and boots, but partying was definitely cool.

Soraya arrived at 6PM on the dot. She came in holding a bag full of garments and a huge grin on her face. "Where's Amy?" She asked Lou after she had gone upstairs to leave everything in Amy's room and not finding her.

"I think she's out with the horses, she said something about having new ideas to bond with the new horse." Lou looked up from were she was chopping vegetables for the dinner she and Scott were having while Grandpa went to visit a friend and Amy went to the party.

Soraya smiled, "I should have guessed that myself thanks Lou!" She ran out to look for Amy. Only she could be working on horses and hour and a half before a party.

Soraya went into the barn and walked over to Caliman's stall. There she found Amy braiding him and feeding him a warm bran mash with a spoon of honey over it.

"Hi Amy, ready to party!" Soraya gave an anxious giggle. "You bet! I just have to finish up with Caliman."

"What have you been doing sine the last time I saw him." Soraya and Matt were no longer working at Heartland since Ben was back and there help was not so important.

"I've been just spending lots of time with him, working with him, massaging him with lavender oil, and adding honey to his food to channel his energy and make him more manageable, also to lift his sprits and keep him happy. It also gives a better taste to his food and with all that I'm doing I hope he will realize I am not taking him for granted, that I actually love him and that there is a lot of good in the world. I don't know if it's working. He hasn't shown any signs of care towards me but I hope he eventually will." Amy smiled after she finishes her explanation and put the hair band on the last braid. She patted Caliman and left the stall.

As they walked up the path to the house Soraya said, "It makes sense, I hope it works. It has always worked for you, you have reached so many horses and I bet you will reach this one too."

Amy smiled, it was so nice having Soraya as a fiend again, she always gave Amy confidence. "Thanks, I wish I could feel so optimistic."

As they reached the house Soraya asked, "So, what are you going to wear?" Amy gave her a sheepish smile, "Don't tell me you still don't know?" After Amy didn't answer Soraya exclaimed, "Amy! Come on; let's get you ready for this party!"

After an hour the girls were showered and dressed. Soraya was wearing a blue tank top which had a black and orange butterfly embroidered on it and blue jeans with flats. The colors made her look beautiful. Amy was wearing a gray bubbly t-shirt and blue jeans with high brown boots which Soraya had given to her to wear for the party.

"Ok, so let's go." Amy said, the excitement of the party filling her up. "Go? Without any make up?"

Amy looked at her reflection in the mirror. She never wore any make up; she preferred being simple and just being herself. "Come on Soraya you know how I am."

"Yep, and tonight we are going to change that. Come Amy… Please?" Amy looked at her friends smile but shook her head.

"Oh come on Amy, for our friendship?" Soraya said knowing that would convince Amy.

"Fine! But let's not exaggerate… ok?" Amy couldn't believe she had let Soraya trick her into wearing makeup. What will Ty say? Will he like it? She caught her thought. I can't think of Ty! He's going with Soraya who looks beautiful. He won't even notice me. Not wanting to think of that she asked Soraya, "What do you think Ashley will wear?"

Soraya laughed, "I bet she'll wear something flashy and reveling, not to mention expensive. Anything to catch everyone's attention, especially Ben's."

After a few minutes Soraya finally finished. "There you go." Amy turned around and looked into the mirror. She had never worn so much makeup and she hardly recognized the girl in the mirror. "Soraya, I'm not so sure about this."

"Oh come on! Don't ruin the fun! Anyway if we don't leave right now we will be really late." Amy new her friend was right so she just took her cell phone off the desk and put it in her back pocket.

When they arrived, the party was well on its way and the mansion was bustling with activity. It looked like something out of a fairy tale. All of the trees were covered with lights and the whole house was decorated with festoons. Inside, the living room seats were pushed to the sides making space for the dance floors. Next to it there was a room full of tables and the mantle clothes matched with the waiters' gowns. At the far end of the room there was a huge table filled with all the food anyone could imagine. From different types of cheeses and sushi to three to four story cakes. Amy smiled, she didn't care that she wasn't going to be with Ty that night. She would enjoy herself anyway and she might even get the chance to meet a new, charming guy that could help her forget about her prince charming for the night.

As they reached the main room, Ty caught up with them and smiled broadly at Soraya, ignoring Amy completely. "You look really pretty tonight." He said to Soraya who smiled at him and said. "Likewise." It hurt Amy so much that she half walked half ran away from them looking for Matt. Where is he? Ty was such a gentleman that he waited in the entrance for Soraya while Matt was nowhere to be seen. Stop thinking about Ty and stop comparing him to Matt! You will only hurt yourself more if you do so! Amy kept on looking on the crowd for him. She finally sees him at the other side of the dance floor were people were already swaying with their couple to "Live you Life" by Rhianna. Just then he spots her and beckons for her to go to where he was with Ashley and her friends. Feeling annoyed at his nonchalant ways she walks over.

When she gets there she realizes that Ashley was wearing something very similar to what she and Soraya had figured out she would. Her top was a purple silk t-shirt with a very open v-neck and she was wearing black tights and flats to go with it. Her hair was up in a bun and she had a small diamond tiara on. She looked stunning, like if she was a movie star at the MTV awards. It was so amazing that it looked like a bit too much, not to mention the makeup. Amy also thought that the shirt was a bit to open to be admired, but that was Ashley Grant for you.

"Hey Amy" Ashley said in a sweet voice, "Wow you look so, well, so different from your usual style." Amy new that Ashley meant no compliment.

Matt did catch that and said, "Wow Amy you're looking so good!" He took her apart from the rest of the group the moment Ashley saw Ben, "Ben, over here! I want to introduce you to all my friends. So everyone this is Ben Stillman, Lisa Stillman's niece." Of coarse everything that matters is his rich Aunt, owner of the biggest Arabian horse breeding center on the state. Who cares who he is? Ashley is unbelievable. Matt took Amy by the hand anddragged her outside to the porch. "So how has it been at Heartland these days? Have you missed me?" Amy looked at him and was about to tell him that it was actually quite soothing not to have him there but she didn't want to fight with him, especially not in a party.

"Sure I've missed you." Amy smiled, but her smile didn't reach her eyes. Amy knew she wouldn't have any time to find her nightly prince charming if Matt took over her like he was trying to do and hoping to do for the whole knight.

"Yeah I've missed you too. I haven't stopped thinking about how much fun we had the other night and how we are meant to be."

Matt kept talking but Amy couldn't focus. What are Ty and Soraya doing? What would we be doing if it was me with him instead of Soraya?

"Amy? Have you heard a word of what I've been saying?" Matt looked hurt.

Amy snapped out off her reverie, "Of Coarse I have. I've just been thinking about the night we went out." Amy said thinking about the last thing she had heard him say before her thoughts had wondered off to Ty.

Matt laughed, "I know, we had such a great time that night, we should definitely do that again some time."

Amy didn't know what to say so she just looked at the dance floor were people were jumping up and down to the beat of "Candy Shop" by 50 Cent.

"You wanna dance?" Matt asked nodding his head towards the dance floor.

"Sure." Amy gave him a real smile this time, knowing that she always had fun dancing with Matt at parties. They stood up and walked inside. Just as they reached the dance floor the song changed and a Pink song started, "So What" Amy was glad that it was a fast song so Matt wouldn't think he had to dance close to her. Amy started moving with the music and so did Matt, they danced for hours. Matt would sometime take her by the hand and spin her around. He did it so many times once that when he stopped, Amy was so dizzy that she couldn't stand up straight, let alone dance, but they continued until she fell over and as Matt picked her up they both burst with laughter. Amy was having more fun than she had expected to, by seeing Matt as a friend and not thinking about Ty and Soraya, Amy had put her troubles to the back of her mind and decided that tonight she was there to have fun. She wouldn't think about Caliman and the rest of the horses so she would have a rested mind for the next day when she was planning on trying join up with Caliman again.

They danced for a couple more songs until the music changed and it became slow. Amy didn't want to get into an awkward position with Matt so she turned around to leave the dance floor hoping Matt would follow her, but as she did so he grabbed her hand and pulled her back, putting her hands around his neck and then putting his own hands around her waist, bringing her closer. "Matt, I'm really tired, can we go get a drink and rest for a while. We have been dancing for about an hour, maybe even longer." Amy pleaded with Matt.

"Oh come on Amy. Why do you get like that every time we are close? I mean we even started dating. It's like your scared or something." Matt didn't let go of her waist as he talked to her and made them move together with the music, (The Last Song I'm Wasting on You by Evanescence).

"It's not that, it's just that I really am tired. Please Matt?" Matt took her tone in and decided not to push it. "Sure, why don't you go get the drink while I find us a table?"

Amy walked towards the drinks table. There were drinks of every color on the table. From Margaritas and Tequila to Punch and Seven up." While Amy was serving herself and Matt a glass of Punch she heard a very familiar voice. She turned around and saw Ty and Soraya. He was saying something and she was laughing at whatever it was he said. He was holding a glass of tequila in one hand and had the other wrapped around Soraya's waist. Amy left her glass on the table and ran outside to get some air.

Breathe Amy! Relax! He and Soraya were just talking.

Yes! But he had his hand around her waist and she was laughing.

So? Weren't you laughing with Matt?

Yeah! But it wasn't the same!

Amy breathed deeply feeling a sob coming up. No! I can't cry! Come on Amy pull yourself together.

Amy wasn't going to let herself cry. Especially not after the fun she had been having. She had been so controlled during the party it couldn't change now. She shook herself and went back inside. She went back to the drinks table and served two new punch glasses. Soraya and Ty were nowhere to be seen; Amy looked towards the table and saw Matt sitting alone in on close to the corner. She navigated herself through the crowd of people and reached Matt.

The moment she put the drinks on the table and sat down, Soraya and Ty appeared out of no where and sat down at the table in front of Amy, Ty facing her, they didn't seem to notice her. She couldn't believe her luck! "How come did it take so long for you to get drinks?" Matt asked a bit too harshly. I'm not you property! Amy felt like screaming, but all she said was, "There was a big line for punch." Matt turned towards the drinks table and saw that there were only a couple of people standing next to the whole table. Amy didn't care; she just didn't want to think about what had really happened.

Matt just shrugged and said, "So, will you let me slow dance with you when the next slow song comes up?"

"Yeah, maybe." Amy said, never taking her eyes off the couple in front of her.

"What do you mean, maybe? Why do you get like this every time I want to do something with you that I wouldn't do as a friend, and it's not like slow dancing is… I don't know… something terrible…!" Matt actually sounded mad.

"Come on Matt, I don't get all protective, it might just be a coincidence or something." Amy lied trying to calm him down so Ty and Soraya wouldn't look around.

"Yeah right, a coincidence. Ok, so if that's it will you slow dance with me later on." Matt knew Amy wouldn't be able to reject now.

"Sure." Amy took a deep sigh and continued looking at the guy of her dreams with her best friend. That moment Ty leaned in and gave Soraya a light kiss on the lips. Amy gasped and hid her face in her hands, not wanting to think about what she had just seen. Matt turned around, surprised at Amy's reaction.

"Amy are you ok?" Matt asked concerned as he took her hands away from her face.

"Yeah I'm fine, lets go dance… ok?" Amy wanted to get as far away as possible.

"Sure, but let me finish my punch and then we can go." Amy waited impatiently and without meaning to, her eyes wondered back to the table in front. This time Soraya leaned and gave Ty a more passionate kiss. Amy closed her eyes once more, trying to shut the world, trying to forget.

"Amy, are you sure you're ok?" Matt was looking really concerned now.

"It's just so hot in here." Amy lied once more even though she was shivering.

"Well, you are looking hot tonight." Matt added with a huge grin. Amy sighed at his lame attempt in being romantic.

Unconsciously her eyes wondered off once more and ended up on Soraya and Ty. They were still kissing and Amy felt so betrayed! Why didn't I kiss him back when he kissed me? I know I didn't want to lose him as a friend, but I have and we didn't even give it a try! I hate myself! Still, I never imagined Ty acting like this. Why was he doing this?

Matt didn't understand Amy's silence so he turned around and found that she was once more looking at Ty and Soraya. So why is she watching them? I bet she's thinking of why I haven't kissed her yet. Should I kiss her? I mean we've been having so much fun all night long, it's just now that she started acting weird, I bet it's because of that.

Matt leaned forward and kissed Amy. She was caught by surprise because she had been so lost in her own thoughts. What was Matt doing? She tries to move backwards but Matt misunderstands once again and grabs her by the face kissing her harder. Amy wouldn't kiss him back so he pushed harder against her lips. Amy can't fight against him and she starts to feel his hot breath in her mouth. His lips trying to force a response out of hers, there tongues finally meet and Amy is still trying to break apart. Suddenly Matt stops kissing her and turns around with a furious look on his face. Amy hadn't realized that Ty had left Soraya at the table and marched down to theirs. Ty had just pushed Matt on the shoulder.

As soon as Matt turns around and stands up, Ty punches him right on the nose. Matt reacts just as quickly and punches Ty in the ribs.

"What's your problem dude?" Matt looked furious.

"What's my problem? You're seriously asking me what's my problem? I'm not the one kissing Amy like that!" Ty barked at him, with an equally furious expression on his face.

"She was kissing me back! Not like she did with you! You kissed her and she rejected you!" Amy who had been stuck to her chair with shock suddenly realized that Mat had seen her and Ty that day in the field and she had seen her reject him, which was why he had been so happy the day after that!

Ty had lost his temper and jumped on Matt, they were both rolling on the floor hitting every piece of each other they could find. Amy's shock passed and she screamed for both of them to stop. The people that had gathered around to watch the fight became silent and two of the biggest guys pulled Matt and Ty apart from each other.

Ty and Matt stood looking at each other with deep hatred reflected in their eyes. "You are not Amy's body guard Ty; she doesn't even care about you." Matt was trying to break from the strong hold the guy had him in, so was Ty.

"I said Stop It!" Amy screamed again, tears of frustration coming up to her eyes. Then she said in a lower voice, ""you are both deciding what I think and don't think without even realizing how I feel. Look Ty, I don't need your help I can handle my own problems," She said this even though she didn't mean it, but her own fury blinded her, "and Matt just give me some space." With that Ty stopped fighting, shrugged of the arms of the very amazed boy that had been binding him and left without another word or look at Amy. He went to the table where Soraya was still sitting down and from where she had watched the whole commotion and apologized to her and said he had to leave. She said goodbye and he rushed out of the room.

Just then Amy realized of what she had said to Ty and rushed after him. "Ty! Stop please, I didn't mean what I said, Please stop!"

He turned around, his face lit by the street light above him, "What do you want Amy?" his voice cold and furious.

"I'm sorry about the things I just said. I do need you Ty." She answered in a desperate voice.

"No, you don't need me. You just made that pretty clear back there; you were obviously very happy exchanging saliva with Matt. I should have just left you."

"No, Ty…"

"Just let it be Amy!" He turned back and kept on going. This time Amy didn't run after him but stayed stuck to her place looking at the shape of his back getting smaller and smaller.

She turned to look at the mansion were the party had gone back to normal and everyone had forgotten about the spectacle they had just seen. The music (Fire Burning by Sean Kinston) continued and she heard people's laughter. She new she couldn't go back to the party, but she didn't want to go home and face Lou right now. She sat on the side walk and started crying into her hands. Why had she said that to Ty back at the party? She knew it was because of her frustration of seeing him act the way he had been acting with Soraya and then hit Matt, but that didn't sound like a good excuse anyway. She knew that what she had said had been really hurtful when Ty had tried to protect her form Matt. Not that Matt was going to do anything bad to her but he had crossed the line by far. Still, why did Ty protect me? It must have been his brotherly instincts from the relationship we had before.

"Amy, are you alright?" a very familiar voice whispered cautiously above her, around 15 minutes had passed since Ty had left. Amy looked up surprised to see that it was Ashley who had spoken.

"Yeah fine" she replied weakly.

"I saw what happened; it must have been really tough for you," Ashley sat down by Amy placing her hand over Amy's shoulder, "Come on, lets go back to the party that way you'll forget about everything and maybe have a bit of fun."

Amy stood up, surprised that Ashley was helping her. She knew she couldn't stay on the road any longer so she followed Ashley back to her house.

They entered through the brightly decorated door, while they crossed the living room heading to the tables Soraya ran passed Amy brushing against her side. Amy just ignored her and sat down at a table with some of Ashley's friends. Ashley called a waiter over and asked her to bring mojitos for everyone at the table. The waiter came back after a while and gave the drinks to everyone. Ashley took a sip of hers and looked at Amy expectantly.

"I don't drink" Amy croaked, her voice still broken from what she had cried.

"Come on a sip can't hurt." Amy looked from Ashley to the drink and back to Ashley which smiled a perfect smile that one only sees on tooth paste commercials. Ashley is right, a sip can't hurt.

She looked at her glass. It was a transparent liquid with a mint leaf on the side. Amy took a small sip of her drink. It didn't taste of alcohol so she kept drinking. She drank it all in one go without even noticing. "Wow" Ashley exclaimed laughing. Amy smiled back and Ashley asked for another one.

"No seriously, I'm fine with one." Amy knew she shouldn't drink too much, especially if she was drinking for the wrong reasons.

Ashley ignored her and asked the waiter to bring it anyways. The waiter brought it and she drank it even though she had said she didn't want it. She drank it more slowly this time but still finished it. This process repeated itself a few times and Amy started feeling tipsy. Her problems were forgotten and she started laughing with Ashley and her friends and even adding her own jokes. As she did so she continued drinking mojitos.

"Amy?" Amy looked up from the table. Matt was standing by them shocked. "What are you doing?"

"Hey Matt!" Amy giggled, "What do you mean, what am I doing. Isn't it obvious? I'm having fun with friends."

"You know what I mean Amy, why are you drinking?" Matt looked extremely serious "You never drink! Why are you doing this Amy?"

"Hey relax! If Ty is not my body guard, nor are you! Just leave me alone, why do you care what I do?" Amy stood up.

"I care because we are friends. At least I thought we were, but you know what Amy?"

"What?' Amy answered defiantly. (Song Milkshake by Kelis started playing)

"I think you were only dating me to make Ty jealous because when he started dating Soraya you realized you like him!" Matt added expecting Amy to deny it, but Amy was tired of lying (and the drinks made her speak the truth).

"Yeah, I did… I used you but at least I chose you because you are my friend so I decided that if I dated you I wouldn't be dating a complete stranger. Plus, I knew that dating you would be the one who most bothered Ty. I now realize I shouldn't have played anyone the way I did, ok!? I am so sorry Matt…" She looked down and after she didn't hear him reply she raised her head. He was looking directly at her. His eyes burned into hers, his stare was too strong but she held it not wanting to feel weak.

"I can't believe you Amy, thanks for everything, I'm glad you considered me and my feelings instead of just choosing any stranger. That makes me feel way better, really. And I am honored that I got to help Amy Fleming in her plans to make someone else jealous. I really feel so lucky." Matt's face destroyed Amy. His cold manner of speaking and his comments made her feel like a ruthless, cruel person.

"I'm really am sorry Matt, I feel really bad for what I did, and it was a really bitchy thing to do." Amy said not knowing what else to say.

"Well. You should have thought about that before doing what you did." Matt's answer was short and clipped.

"Matt…" Amy pleaded with him.

"Whatever Amy…" Matt glared at her once more before turning around and leaving.

Amy sat back down and asked for another mojito. She forgot all about Matt and drunk until she couldn't talk properly and then her subconscious told her to stop. Amy you had never had more than a cup of wine at a time and now who knows how many mojitos we have had. I think it's really time to stop!

"Ashley I think I should go home now." Amy tried to tell Ashley as clear as she could.

"Do you want me to give you a ride?" Ashley asked her. Amy knew that Ashley wasn't drunk, she might have gotten tipsy but no more.

"No, it's fine. I was supposed to go home with Soraya but she left three hours ago. Amy laughed, "Ill jast wok home, and it's noot that faar, you eeenjoy thee resti of your partiii." Amy new she wasn't speaking the words correctly and she tried as hard as she could.

"Ok, if you're sure, though I don't think you should go alone, not in the state you are in." Ashley said concerned.

"I'm in no state!" Amy argued putting a little girl's face on and crossing her arms in front of her chest. Amy new she was drunk but she still felt like she needed to argue.

Ashley laughed, "Fine, then answer this question: If there are twelve fish in a tank and two drown, how many are there left?"

"Ten and I'm not drunk!" Amy answered; she still had her stubborn little girl's face on.

"No Amy, fish can't drown." Ashley answered and everyone around them laughed.

"Why don't you let me drive you there? It's a five minute drive, I don't mind." Ashley offered once more.

"Fine, but promise we'll have music in the car!" Amy grinned at Ashley

"Ok Amy I promise." Ashley said not being able to contain her laughter.

"Yey!" Amy clapped her hands and said goodbye to everyone with a wave before skipping, almost falling, to Ashley's car.

Ashley opened her beautiful sports car with a beep and got inside. Amy got into the seat next to hers and said, "The music? You Promised!" Amy new she was acting stupid but she couldn't help it. In her mind she kept telling herself to stop but she just couldn't. I never imagined being drunk felt like this.

Ashley turned the radio on and a Rhianna's song, Don't Stop the Music, stared on the radio. Amy remembered that the first song that she had heard when entering the party had been another Rhianna song. Amy sang along at the top of her voice and opened the window to feel the breeze. Five minutes later Ashley stopped at the Heartland entrance.

"Ok Amy here we are." Ashley said, "I think that if your well enough to skip you can reach the door without a problem but if I take the car in I might wake up someone and they might catch you drunk and that wouldn't be good so Goodnight."

"Bye Ashley thanks for everything! You've been the best of friends tonight! I love you!" Amy got down and continued singing way out of tone as she walked up the driveway. She heard Ashley start the engine and leave.

As she was about to enter the farm house she noticed Ty's pick-up truck in the corner of the parking lot. She turned around and scanned the whole place with her eyes.

Is Ty still here? Maybe he had gone home by foot.

No way, come on Amy think straight he lives miles away.

Then maybe he hitched a ride with someone, I don't know, don't bother me, I'm drink, oops I mean drunk. Amy giggled by herself.

Just then she noticed the barn lights on so she put her keys back to her pocket and ran to the barn. "Ty?"

She stepped inside and the some of the horses whickered a welcome. "Hey babies how are you?" She said to the horses.

"Amy?" Ty popped his head out of a stall. He opened the door and let himself out before closing it behind him.

"Ty! What are you doing here?" Amy tried to speak the best she could, she didn't want Ty to know she was drunk.

"I-I needed to apologize for the way I acted, I know I shouldn't have lashed out at you like that. It's just that I was really mad and wasn't thinking of what I was saying."

"That's what happened to me inside at the party. Thanks for helping me aaut wwith M-Matt." Amy opened her mouth more so she would vocalize better.

"Amy, are you ok?" Ty came closer to Amy and she stepped back a few steps. "Amy what's wrong?"

Amy knew she wouldn't be able to lie to Ty. She didn't want to lie to him, and he would find out anyway. "I'm so sorry Ty!"

"Ames. What's wrong? You know you can tell me?" Ty's face was full of concern.

Just then Amy tripped over nothing at all, and fell over him. He caught her and lifted her up trying to carry her to someplace where they could sit. "Put me down!" Amy shrieked.

Ty put her down and looked at her. She looked up with a puppy dog face.

"So what happened?" Ty asked noticing her mood swings and the way she smelled strongly of alcohol.

"I'm drunk! I was feeling so sad about what I did to you and then I had a fight with Matt and got angry and drank even more, and Ashley kept giving me drinks!" Amy hid her face with her hands and started crying. "Please don't be mad at me Ty! I'm not this type of girl! You know me better than anyone else."

"Ames! Don't cry. It can happen to anyone. Come here." Ty walked towards Amy and wrapped her around in a hug and kissed her head. Amy felt so secure in his arms. It was where she belonged, she had always known that.

"I love you Ty." The drinks still made her speak the truth and nothing more than that.

"No you don't Amy, you are just saying that because you're drunk." Ty said to her, sadness filled his voice.

"Exactly, I'm drunk so I'm saying the truth." Amy let another sob come out.

Ty grabbed her hands in one of his hands and pushed her chin up softly with the other. She had tears running down her already tear stained face. She looked into his green eyes and he looked back, right into hers. "Come here Ames."

He pulled her and they sat on a hay bale that she had left outside the stall in case of an emergency. He put his hand around her shoulder and she leaned her head on him. She seemed to find the perfect spot to put her head on, Ty sighed. "What's wrong?" Amy asked him.

"Nothing, but that's the problem." Ty answered softly.

She could feel his warm breath in her face "What do you mean?"

"It's just that who knows how much of this you will remember tomorrow morning. And this is the way I have always wanted us to be like, but you never seemed to want the same."

"No! I have, but I was scared that if we became more than friends I might end up losing you so I decided it was better not to risk it but I ended up losing you anyway." Amy told him.

"You will never lose me Ames." She loved it when Ty called her that.

"What about you and Soraya. What is that?" Amy remembered her best friend.

"I'll tell you the truth. I never meant to use Soraya, I asked her out because I wanted to be with someone different than you because I thought you didn't like me and I knew I had to get over you. Then when I asked Soraya out and you got mad I realized that by being with her I could actually make you jealous but at the same time I didn't want to hurt Soraya, but my selfishness made me continue with my game, so I kept asking her out and then tonight at the party I never lost you from my sight and every time you were close I would flirt with her, then I saw you sit down with Matt and took Soraya over to the table in front of yours and made sure you noticed. When I saw you looking I kissed her, not wanting to be a jerk I didn't really kiss her, but then she kissed me again and this time she really kissed me. It was then that I realized I was being an idiot and I knew I had to stop this game so I told her that I really liked her, which is true, and I told her that even though I had had a great time with her, every time I was with her, I thought about you, Amy, so it wouldn't work out between us." Ty finished and gave Amy a faint smile, waiting to see her reaction.

"Wow, how did she take it?" Was Amy's only reply.

"She was ok. She said she really liked me, but that she understood what it was like and that she didn't want to lose me as a friend so it was better if we stopped before it got more serious, just then I saw Matt kissing you and you trying to stop him and that made me furious. I couldn't just stand by and let someone treat you like that. I don't know what happened to me, I acted violently even though I never do."

"You have always been a great guy Ty! I can't believe how you handle things with such ease. I did play with Matt's feelings to get you jealous and I never thought about how he would feel. Then I realized that I couldn't help feeling what I felt for you and I knew I had blown my chance so I finally decided to end it with Matt but then when I was about to tell him he kissed me and then you two had that fight and I ended up drowning my feelings with alcohol and now I'm drunk." Ty laughed at the way Amy finished her story and she laughed too.

"I know I didn't get the chance to dance with you tonight, so would you do me the honor." Ty asked Amy.

"I would love to but there is no music." Amy told him.

"I never thought a drunk would be so picky." Ty joked.

"Fine then, lets dance but I am not sure I'll be able to stay up for long." Amy warned Ty.

He stood up, "Don't worry, I'll keep you safe." Amy knew he would so she stood up and took Ty's outstretched hand. She looked into his eyes and felt her heart miss a beat. I this actually happening? No, I must be dreaming…

Ty pulled Amy closer and put his hands around her waist. She let her hands find there way around Ty's neck and she leaned her head against his chest. He started swaying softly and she moved with him as one. She never wanted this moment to end. They danced for a few minutes until he took her by the hand and turned her around. When she was facing him again she felt the sudden urge to kiss him. She stood up in tip toes and as there mouths were about to touch Ty backed away.

"Amy, I don't think you should kiss me." Amy felt rejected and hurt.

"Why? I want to kiss you and you just told me you loved me."

"I know, and I do, but you might not remember this tomorrow and then that would put me into a lot of trouble and you might regret it and I can't risk losing you again." Ty said, his emerald eyes never leaving hers.

"You mean you don't want to kiss me?" The drinks made Amy turn everything Ty had said around.

"Actually, I do, and that's the problem you see if you tempt me I might not be able to stop myself and then…" Ty's voice faded away.

"So, I love you and you love me." Amy knew she was about to cross the line, her conscience told her that, but she didn't care. Amy leaned up once more and this time she grabbed Ty by the head and kissed him, not letting him avoid her. Ty kissed her back and Amy felt her heart stop and then speed up, something that had never happened to her before.

Ty broke apart, "Amyyy…" Ty said warningly, "I mean it. Don't do that to me."

Amy didn't want the kiss to stop so she kissed him again. Her lips pushed against his and he kissed her back again. This time Amy kissed him more passionately and eventually moved from his lips to his neck.

Ty got mad, "Amy, stop it! This is not right; I am kissing a drunk girl who is only fifteen years old. You know I could go to prison for abusing a under aged girl you know."

Amy giggled, "No way! No one's gonna find out, and it's me kissing you not the other way around"

"Yeah, but that doesn't matter. I know the state you are in and I am letting you kiss me, plus I am kissing you back so stop it." Ty told Amy firmly.

Amy just giggled again, "Then don't kiss me back."

Ty couldn't help but grin, "Amy you know that's not possible I really like you and the moment you kiss me like that I can't help myself." He took her by the hand and sat her back down on the hay bale. He pushed his hair out of his face with his hands making it look messy on top of his head. Amy smiled; she loved when Ty did that. She stood up and sat on his knee, putting her arms around his neck. "Ames!" Ty told Amy off.

Amy giggled again, "I'm not doing anything I'm just hugging you, that isn't illegal is it?"

Ty didn't know what to say. Did she always have an answer to everything when drunk? Amy leaned forward and kissed him softly on the cheek. Then she kissed him on the lips and Ty ignored her. She tried again and this time Ty gave away. He kissed her back passionately. There lips moved together like they never done with anyone else's. Ty took Amy by the face and she tangled her fingers in his hair. After a while Ty stopped.

"God Amy, stop it!" Ty shouted at her, "It's not funny" he added after she giggled.

"Fine, it's not funny, but that was amazing, I love you Ty." Ty's expression softned at her words.

"I love you too Ames, but it's because of that, that this has got to stop. Promise you won't kiss me again."

"Fine, but don't go yet, don't leave me." Amy's voice was so sweet.

"I'm not going anywhere Ames, as long as you behave." Ty added the last part with a stern tone.

"I promise I'll behave then." Amy leaned on his chest and closed her eyes. She heard Ty sigh deeply again so she opened her eyes and found him staring at her.

"I love you Amy." He was so perfect, his emerald eyes matched perfectly with his brown hair, his nose was just as perfect as the rest, and then came his lips. They were the most perfect lips Amy had ever seen.

"I love you to Ty." She kissed him softly on the lips and leaned against him again. She felt Ty laugh softly and so did she. Her head was stating to feel heavy and so were her eye lids. "I love you" she said once more.
