Chapter 7


Ty stopped Jupiter and looked at Marion. She could see it in his eyes and knew he had made a decision. Ty just said "I love Amy. I want to live my life with her and I will fight for her until there is nothing left of me." Marion smiled "To go to your beloved you just need to walk through those trees." Ty smiled and jumped from Jupiter's back and started to run. Marion hollered "Wait! I have to tell you that it will not be easy. You will not remember meeting me or our conversations. You will however remember your resolve to let go of your fears and of your resolve to fight for her. You will finally be ready to complete your connection to her. You will need that fight to convince Amy to drop her fears before your connection can be completed. I will also leave you with no doubt that she loves you with all of her heart, but if you do not finish your connection neither of you will be happy in life and neither will be successful."

Ty stood there digesting her words and knew what he needed to do. He thanked Marion and ran in a full sprint through the two trees. As soon as he passed them he was consumed with darkness.


In the darkness Ty was aware of his body, but could not move or open his eyes. He felt a heavy weight on his left arm and on his right leg. There was searing pain in his head and his chest. He could hear the rhythmic beeping of machines, but none of what he heard or felt about his body compared to the overwhelming feeling of love he had for Amy. His mind was set on one thing and one thing only, getting back to her.

Shortly after becoming aware of his surroundings Ty heard a voice close by. The voice was soft and he was unable to make out what was being said. Ty started trying to scream but nothing would come from his throat. Once he realized that his body still would not respond to his commands he heard a door open and foot steps. It sounded like a one set was running. Then he felt electricity running through his right hand as someone held it. The person held it for few minutes and then he felt that person starting to lie down next to him. He felt the person's body press against his in a soft caring way being careful not to touch or jolt any part of him that was already hurting. He could feel the persons hand on his as it lay on his stomach. Then he felt soft lips brush against his ear followed by a soft breath that carried the sweetest words Ty had ever head in his life. It was Amy's voice saying "I love you Ty Borden. You cannot leave me and I will not leave you."

Ty's heart felt like it would explode with the amount of happiness and love that washed over him. He tried will all of his might to answer her command, but still was unable. After a few minutes he quit trying to respond and just focused on her presence. He could feel and hear her rhythmic breathing. Ty assumed she must have fallen asleep. With that assumption he realizes how tired he is and let himself drift off into sleep knowing the love of his life is laying next to him.

Amy woke up about 5 hours later and looks at the clock on the wall and it read 3:45PM. She looked around and found she was alone in the room with Ty. As she laid her head back down a nurse walked in and said "Oh I see you are awake. Your father and grandfather wanted me to let you know that they went to the cafeteria if you woke up." Amy looked at Ty and said "Ok. Has there been any change in Ty's condition?" The nurse frowns and said "The drugs keeping him under have been out of his system for a couple of hours now. So there is nothing keeping him from waking up but himself." Amy just nods and then presses a soft kiss to his lips before getting up. She followed the nurse into the hall to call her Dad and grandpa to let them know she is awake.

Ty slowly started waking up. He was still surrounded by darkness and unable to move or open his eyes. The pain in his chest and head were there 10 fold compared to before and now his left arm and right leg hurt as well. He laid there a moment before he realized that the pressure of Amy's body was gone. He could no longer smell her or feel the electricity from her touch. He started to panic "Where is she? Did she give up on waiting for me?" Then he heard her muffled voice coming from a short distance away. With all of his being he willed himself to sit up and scream "AMY!" The pain from sitting up so suddenly was too much and he blacked out.

Amy was in mid sentence telling her dad what she wanted to eat when she heard Ty's blood curdling scream of her name. Amy yelled "TY!" as she dropped the phone and ran into Ty's room. She entered just in time to see his body slump back down into the bed unconscious again. She rushed to his side saying "Ty! Ty! Can you hear me? Ty!" While she tried to get him to respond Dr. Winters and three nurses came in and started checking him out. Amy moved across the room so that Dr. Winters could work.

Right after Amy positioned herself across the room the door to the room burst open as Tim and Jack came barreling in. All they saw was Amy with new tears and four people working around Ty. The rushed to Amy and caught her up in a great big family hug. Jack and Tim feared the worst from the way Amy had screamed his name before the line dropped. After a moment Jack asked Amy "What happened?" That is when Amy looked up into their faces wearing a pretty decent sized smile and said "He woke up for a moment and called out for me. I was in the hall and when I ran back into the room he had just lost conciseness again."

Dr Winters approached the group and said "He has ripped the stitches out of the wound in his chest and has pulled out his IV. This happened when he sat up. What most likely happened was he jumped to a sitting position when he screamed and the pain from his chest and head were too much and he blacked out. We are reattaching the IV and stitching the wound back up right now. I've also upped his pain medication a little so he will probably be out for a few more hours before he wakes up again." Amy felt a huge wave of relief flood her body and she thought "The first thing he wanted was me!" This made a stupid girly, I am so in love, grin spread across her face.

It was a little after 6pm and Amy was alone again with Ty. Jack and Tim had headed back to the cabin to get some rest so they could start finding out what had happened to Ty. Amy was back in bed next Ty flipping channels on the TV waiting for Ty to wake up again. About 6:30pm Amy fell asleep holding onto Ty's hand like she was afraid he wouldn't be there when she woke up.

Once again Ty awoke to darkness, but this time he it felt different. He was able to move his head. It hurt, but he turned his head to his right, towards the pressure of someone lying next to him. He forced his eyes open, but everything was super bright and blurry. So he closed them. Next he moved his fingers and felt someone's hand wrapped in his again. He wanted the person next to him to be Amy so badly, but after her not being there last time he did not have high hopes.

He forced his eye open again. This time he was able to focus and he saw the most beautiful woman lying next to him. He started to cry because he was so happy. He stared and cry for what seemed like forever when she moved her hand. Ty squeezed her hand with his and her eyes shot open. Ty was caught looking into the bluest eyes he had ever seen. He could see all the way into her soul. He could see every emotion as it passed through her. The last and strongest was love, pure unregulated and uncontainable love. Amy smiled and said "Hey you... You know you scared the living shit out of me, right?" Ty smiled and said "I love you Amy Fleming. You cannot leave me and I will not leave you."

Amy's mouth dropped as she thought "He heard me!" and then she said "I love you too!"
