Chapter 10
Amy fallowed the doctor into his office and sat down in the chair in front of the desk. How much more bad news could she possibly take? The doctor eased down into his chair with a white envelope in hand. He opened it and took out a stack of paper work and x-rays.

"Over the past few hours, Mr. Borden has had a series of tests. As we suspected, both legs are broken in many places, but that isn't our area of concern. We also x-rayed his brain, considering that seemed to be the other main area of impact." He paused and glanced up at Amy and motioned towards one of the x-rays. "What we found was a mildly serious concussion, and bleeding on the brain. If not treated, it will most likely result in fatality."

"Then treat it!" Amy said horrified by the news.

"Well, it isn't that easy. Because of the area of the brain affected, the surgery required hasn't been known to be very successful. If he under goes the surgery, we give him about a 30% chance of living, but if he doesn't, the temporary solution we gave him right now will only allow him to live about a month."

He looked up sympathetically at Amy as she took this all in.

Her voice was barely above a whisper. "We need to try."

She eased back into the room. Ty was asleep again. She sat down in a chair next to his bed and pressed her fingers to her forehead. Everything was in a fog and this headache didn't help.

"Amy?"

She jumped at the sound at Ty's voice and shot him a weak smile.

"Are you going to stick around this time, or is the "cafeteria" calling you?"

"I…uh..."

Ty gave a gentle laugh. "Thanks for the flowers. They're not very manly though."

"They're not from me."

"Then who sent them, jack?" Ty said sarcaticly.

"Blair."

"Blair?"

"Yeah, she decided to give a little "visit", but she did a lot
more then visiting."

It didn't take a genius for Ty to see she was hurting. "Amy, you have to believe me, I was asleep. I didn't know she was here." His voice was begging, trying to make her believe him.

Amy turned away she he wouldn't see the panic and fear in her eyes.

"Amy, please. Can you please trust me?" he whispered.

"I don't know if I can anymore."

The long silence afterwards was too painful for her so she got up to leave.

"What else? What else is bothering you?"

She froze. How did he know? "Nothing", then she slipped out the door
