Chapter Thirteen

Say Something

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Rebecca sat on a hale bale inside the barn, her head in her hands. The police bustled around her, collecting evidence and making a bigger mess than there already was. She didn't notice any of it though; she was still mulling over the events that had happened in the minutes after Amy had fallen. After Adam had attacked Amy, Caleb had tackled him from behind and was able to restrain him. While Georgie called the police and an ambulance, Rebecca had only been able to stand back and watch horrified. Rebecca couldn't get the desperate look Adam had given her as the police led him away in handcuffs out of her mind.

And I,

Will swallow my pride

You're the one that I love

And I'm saying goodbye

The metal click of the handcuffs reverberated through Rebecca's body like a drum. She looked at Adam, who was kneeling on the barn floor. His blonde hair was messed up and the left side of his face was scratched up from when Caleb had pressed it to the concrete. The police officer yanked him to his feet and that was when his eyes met hers. He looked lost and scared almost like the little boy she had first met in kindergarten.

"Becky!" Adam called to her as the officer started pushing him out the barn. "Becky, please, tell them I didn't mean it! It was an accident. Becky, you know me, it was an accident! Please! Becky!"

A lone tear slid down Rebecca's cheek as she stood there and said nothing as the officer led Adam away. He cast one last pleading, desperate look at her and then, his shoulders slumped in defeat. Adam got into the police car without another glance at her.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

And I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

And anywhere, I would have followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

"This is all your fault, you know."

Startled out of her thoughts, Rebecca looked up and saw Georgie standing by the barn entrance. She had probably just finished giving giving her statement to the police. Rebecca had seen the girl go into the ranch house just as she was leaving. She had wanted to be alone after being subjected to the police interrogation and to just let everything sink in. Looking at the eleven-year-old now, the younger girl did not look happy. She crossed her arms and walked over to her horse Phoenix.

"I don't know what you're talking about," Rebecca said, brushing the last of her tears from her eyes. She pulled the rubber band from her hair and shook her hair out.

Georgie spun on her heel, fixating her with an icy glare. "Yes, you do!" Georgie snapped at her. She lowered her voice when a few police officers turned to look at her. "It's your fault Amy is in the hospital right now. If it weren't for you and your stupid boyfriend, then none of this would have happened. And Amy wouldn't be almost dying." Her voice cracked at the end, and she turned around so that Rebecca wouldn't see her tears.

"Georgie, I had no idea Adam would do this," Rebecca said, standing up and walking over to the younger girl. "I swear, when I came here I didn't even know where he was. If I had known he was drinking, then I would have..." Rebecca trailed off, not sure of what she was saying. What would she had done if she had stayed in Calgary a few more days? Or maybe, if she had just paid attention, she would have known something was wrong with Adam before he had disappeared. Rebecca shook her head, it would do no good to look back. The past was history, you could only control what happens next.

Georgie wiped her sleeve across her eyes and turned back around to face Rebecca. "There is something you can do," she replied. "You can leave."

"I don't understand," Rebecca said, taking a step back.

"Sure you do," Georgie stated, an edge to her voice. "Adam keeps coming back because of you. If you leave, then he can't hurt anymore people that I love. If you don't care about anybody else here, at least think of Ty. Do you really want your brother to hurt more than he already is?"

Rebecca took a few more steps backward, thinking. Was Georgie right? Is she the real reason Amy and Caleb are in the hospital right now? She may not have lifted the pitchfork that hurt them both, but she had unintentionally led Adam to Heartland.

I'll be the one if you want me to

"If you leave," Georgie continued. "It will be the best thing for everyone."

"That's enough, Georgie," Lou said. They both turned to see Lou coming into the barn. She looked tired and her eyes were red. Rebecca hoped there was at least some good news from the hospital. If it wasn't, then Lou probably wouldn't be here right now, right?

"Lou!" Georgie gasped and ran to her, throwing her arms around her. Lou held her adoptive daughter tight. "How's Amy?" Her voice was muffled from Lou's jacket.

Rebecca didn't miss the look Lou gave her right before she answered and Rebecca's heart thumped loud in her chest. "The doctor was getting ready to take her into surgery," Lou explained. "He said that it could take awhile, so I decided to come home and see how everything was going here. Grandpa and Ty are still at the hospital."

Surgery, that meant there was something really wrong with Amy. But she was alive, so that was good, for now at least. Rebecca shook her head; Amy was going to be fine and it wasn't her fault. She just couldn't get Georgie's words out of her head. Georgie finally pulled away from Lou, who smiled at her and stroked her hair.

"How's Caleb?" Rebecca found herself asking.

"Fine, it was just a flesh wound. Nothing important was hit," Lou answered. "He was signing the release papers when I was leaving."

Rebecca breathed a sigh of relief and she caught Georgie glaring at her again. Lou looked between the two, wondering exactly what had happened before she had come in. "Georgie, can you go in the house and tell Peter I'm back?" Lou asked her adoptive daughter. Prying her eyes off of Rebecca, Georgie nodded and ran out of the barn.

"I'm sorry if she may have said anything that hurt you," Lou apologized for Georgie's behavior. Rebecca shook her and started to interrupt, but Lou held up her hand and continued. "Georgie is impulsive and she sometimes says things without thinking. She's hurting and she's lashing out, don't take anything she says too seriously, okay?"

Rebecca nodded, though she thought Georgie sounded pretty rational. "Hey, are going back to the hospital by any chance?" Rebecca asked.

"Yeah," Lou nodded. "After dinner, I was going to bring some food for grandpa and Ty. Why?"

"Well, I was hoping, maybe, I could come with you?" Rebecca asked her cautiously. "I get that it's a family thing, and I probably shouldn't butt in. It's just that I'm going stir crazy here and I need to do something."

"Yeah, sure, I'll be glad for the company," Lou smiled at her. She turned to leave and gestured for Rebecca to follow. "C'mon, let's get something to eat."

Rebecca followed, mimicking Lou's smile, but not really feeling it. A low rumble came from above and both Lou and Rebecca looked up at the sky. Storm clouds hovered above the ranch, some ranging from dark gray to black. If Rebecca was superstitious, she would have paid it more attention, but she and Lou just ducked their heads and ran for the house when the rain started pouring down.

Anywhere I would have followed you

X/X/X

Ty sat in the waiting room of the hospital, awaiting the outcome of Amy's surgery. He took turns drumming his fingers on his knees and staring up at the clock on the wall. They had only taken her into the O.R five minutes ago and he already didn't know what to do with himself. Ty looked over at Jack, who was slumped in his chair with his hat over his eyes. He didn't know if he was really sleeping or if he just didn't want to talk to anyone. Unable to sit still any longer, Ty got and started walking. He didn't know where he was going, he was just walking, not really seeing the hallways he was walking down.

And I am feeling so small

It was over my head

I know nothing at all

When he finally looked up, Ty had no idea where he was. It was a quiet hallway; not a lot of people came back here. It looked like mostly private rooms and one or two supply closets. A nurse in black scrubs came out of a room and smiled at him as she walked past him. Ty waited until the nurse had turned the corner, and then he couldn't hold it in anymore. He punched the wall next to him, out of anger and frustration. The pain was like a firecracker blooming out of his knuckles and throughout his hand. He didn't mind it though, in fact he welcomed it. He was tired of the numb feeling that had filled him ever since he heard what had happened, he needed to feel something.

And I will stumble and fall

I'm still learning to love

Just starting to crawl

When nobody came to investigate the noise, Ty slid to the floor, feeling completely drained. He didn't understand why this was happening. He and Amy were just beginning to move forward with their relationship; they made plans. Ty wasn't going to give up on those plans, no matter how long it took. Amy was going to get better, and they were going to get married. Feeling a bit better, Ty stood up and made his way back to the waiting room.

It wasn't until an hour after Ty had gotten back to the waiting room that the doctor showed up to talk with them. Ty nudged Jack awake, turns out he had dozed off for a bit. The doctor was an older gentleman with graying hair and glasses. He still wore his surgical scrubs and Ty tried not look at the specks of blood on the hem of his shirt. Ty told himself it wasn't Amy's blood, but his heart hammered inside his chest as the doctor sat down in a chair across from them. He tried to be patient with the doctor, but it was running thin.

"How's Amy?" he blurted out.

"She'd suffered a major blow to the head when she came in," the doctor said. "She was also hemorrhaging and that was putting pressure on the brain. If she hadn't come in when she did, she would have died." Ty sucked in a breath. "We were able to stop the bleeding, but Amy's blood pressure rose too high, we feared her heart would stop. But we managed to stabilize her and finish the surgery without anymore complications."

Ty took a deep breath, taking it all in. Amy almost died, twice.

"Can we see her?" Jack asked the question that Ty wanted to, but couldn't form the words to.

The doctor hesitated, and the nodded. "She's still unconscious, though," the doctor told them. "If you have any other questions, the nurses at the desk can page me, I'm Dr. Kent." After telling them how to find Amy's room, Dr. Kent left with a small smile.

"You go in first," Jack told him.

"Are you sure?" Ty asked, and Jack nodded. With a deep breath, Ty stood up and followed the doctor's instructions to Amy's room. He braced himself for what he would find in there, with each step forward fear clutched his heart in a tighter grip. He almost balked in front of the door, not wanting to see her that way, but in the end he went in.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

I'm sorry that I couldn't get to you

Anywhere, I would've followed you

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Amy lay propped up on the hospital bed with tubes and wires attached to her and the machines mechanically beeping next to her. There was also a bandage wrapped around her head. She looked so pale and fragile lying, that Ty wanted to believe she was just sleeping. But he knew she wasn't. He stood where he was for about five minutes, unable to move any closer. It wasn't until he saw one of Amy's fingers move that he moved to her bedside. Ty sat down on the stool near the bed and took her surprisingly warm hand in his.

"Amy, I know you can hear me," Ty whispered, leaning toward Amy. "Please, you have to open your eyes. Let me know you're okay." Ty waited a couple of minutes, watching Amy's face for any sign that she might be waking up. Nothing. He exhaled and hung his head. Bringing their linked hands to his mouth, he kissed the back of her hand.

"I know you're probably hurt and scared," Ty continued, sniffing away tears before they could fall. "But I promise you, everything is okay now. I'm here now, you're safe. Nobody is going to hurt you." He looked up at Amy's face again, but it remained the same. Eyes closed, muscles slacked, she looked peaceful.

Say something, I'm giving up on you

Ty was vaguely aware of footsteps echoing down the corridor outside the room, he didn't pay it any attention. It was probably just a doctor or nurse going about their rounds. He was running his thumb in circles along Amy's hand when the footsteps stopped abruptly. Out of the corner of his eye, he saw a shadow in the doorway. He didn't looked to see who it was though, he just kept his eyes on Amy.

"Ty?"

Ty couldn't help to glance behind when he heard her voice. Rebecca stood in the doorway, a brown paper bag clutched in her hand. Her brown hair hung loose around her face and there was just a slight hint of a baby bump under her jacket. He turned back to Amy, his hand tightening on hers.

"You shouldn't be here," was all he said.

Say something.
