I ran over to Chase who didn't seem so happy. In fact, he looked really ticked off.
'Amy, I'm doing what's best', Chase said, gun still in hand.
'How is it the best option?' I asked.
'This horse is dangerous and should be destroyed', Chase tried to convince me but it wasn't working.
'No, I'm actually making progress with him now', I told Chase.
'Yeah, if you call getting bucked of progress, now just let me do what needs to be done!' Chase was getting more annoyed, I knew that he wanted to destroy the horse, not only because it was dangerous but because it would be a chance for him to try and erase his mistake.
Chase lifted up the gun again and I watched as Beanie stood innocently, not knowing what was going to happen next and that's when I decided that I couldn't let Chase do it, I couldn't let him destroy a horse without giving him a chance, I had made real progress with Beanie but he didn't see that, all he saw was a dangerous horse but I saw a horse that needed love and support and genuine care.
'Chase, please don't do it, that horse deserves a chance!' I pleaded but he wouldn't listen to me.
'I gave that horse a chance and it didn't work did it? So now I'm putting everyone out of their misery, including the horse!' Chase announced.
'You just don't want the world to see how badly you screwed up!' I yelled at him as I grabbed the end of the shotgun
'Amy! Don't do this, you will only make things worse', Chase said as he tried to get the gun off me, but I wouldn't let it go.
I realised then that Ty wasn't supposed to come back from working with Scott for another hour and Lou was out shopping with grandpa, in that instance I realised that it was just me and Chase.
Chase and I continued to play 'tug of war' with the gun, luckily I managed to hold onto it, I knew that if I let it go it would cost Beanie his life, I couldn't let that happen.
I tightened my grip when I realised Chase was winning and he tightened his, it was hard to maintain my grip on the barrel of the gun but I just managed when something happened. There was a loud bang; there was no doubt that it was a gunshot.
I looked over at Beanie wondering what had happened to see that he was fine when I felt a sharp pain under the right half of my chest and when I looked down I saw blood and lots of it when I realised I was falling, it felt like forever before I landed on the ground and nothing seemed real anymore, the pain had gone, I felt totally numb, I couldn't move at all, my eyes shut and everything went black.
I could hear Chase screaming out for help but it sounded so distant, 'crap, I suppose I'm going to die now' I thought, I wanted to move, I needed to move but I couldn't.
I heard a car pull up in the driveway, I thought I recognised the sound of it but I couldn't be too sure, I wanted to lift up my head and see what was going on but I couldn't, I didn't have the strength to.
'AMY!' I heard someone yell, I thought I recognised their voice, 'What did you do!'
It didn't take me long to realise that it was Ty, I felt him lift my head, I opened my eyes and could see Ty's face, his eyes were welling with tears, I wanted to reach out to him, I couldn't and I suddenly had this urge to cough so I did and I soon realised I was coughing up my own blood.
'Ty', I managed to say, I wanted to sit up but I suppose I had to stay down since I didn't have the strength to get up.
'What is it Amy?' Ty asked gently and I began to sob as I reached into my pocket searching for it.
'Ty, I'm pregnant', I said as I handed him the test, 'or at least, I was.'
I began to sob, even though I didn't want to be pregnant and even though the baby was only a few days old I still loved it and the fact that I would have a baby of my own but I was sure by now that the baby was dead.
'Hey, it's going to be okay, we're gonna get through this', Ty tried to comfort me and I realised how much I was bleeding.
'I'm going to die, aren't I?' I asked Ty with a worried look.
'No, you're not, I'm going to get you to hospital and everything's going to be fine okay?' Ty told me, tears running down his cheeks.
Ty picked me up from the ground and took me over to his classic blue truck and I realised that Ty wasn't supposed to be here so early, he wasn't supposed to be here for another forty-five minutes.
He put me in his truck and went around to the driver's side where he turned on the engine and drove away, I rested my head in his lap and struggled to stay awake, to stay alive.
'Amy! Stay with me', Ty warned me.
'Ty, I can't, I don't have the energy', I told him in a whisper.
'Amy, you better not die on me!' Ty said as he looked out his windscreen and continued driving.
