To the Guest who asked why Jack doesn't want Amy and Ty together. This story is AU so none of the same events happened as in the show. Ty's been in and out of jail. Not to mention drunk all the time so he's looking out for Amy.
Lou nodded as she listened to Amy explain what happened with the accident. "I'm glad your okay. If I wasn't stuck here now that I'm too far along to fly I'd be there."
"I'm fine, Lou. Really."
"You sure? I heard about you and Caleb."
"Lou..." Amy wined.
"I'm just saying. It didn't have anything to do with Ty did it?"
"It had everything to do with Ty." She answers boldly.
"Amy..."
"I know what your gonna say." Amy cut her off. "But I'm being careful. And I don't even know what this is yet. But I owe it to both us to figure it out."
"Just be careful. After all the two of you just ended up crashed on the side of the road. Don't let him hurt you."
Amy nodded even though Lou couldn't see it.
"Jack...can we talk?" Ty hesitated obviously nervous. Jack looked up from filling his water pail. Ty only grew more nervous as Jack just stared not saying anything. "So...I've been thinking. About everything, and well I think maybe I need to start making some changes. Some better ones anyway." He chuckled. Jack didn't seem amused. "I was wondering if you'd help me...come on Jack please say something."
Jack looked back at the hose and started filling his pail again. "What kind of choices?"
Ty sighed. Jack wasn't making this easy. "I guess maybe it's time to start acting like a grown up. I've been thinking a lot about the future. And well I'm not to fond of the idea that I didn't graduate. I seen Amy's graduation picture on the mantle. She seems so happy. I wish I could have had that."
"Am I understanding right? You want to go back to school?"
"Yes. I want to finish my senior year. I want to graduate high school." He said proudly.
"I think that's a great idea." Jack smiled.
"Really? Cause that means I'm gonna need some space from here. I can't work as much."
"That's what you were all worked up about?" Jack laughed. "That's fine."
"Thanks, Jack." Ty turned to leave. "Oh, is there any way I can get a raise? I mean gas isn't cheap and I'm gonna be driving into town. Not to mention I have to pay for the classes."
Jack raised his eyebrow. "You want to work less and make more?" Ty shrugged. "I'll think about it." Jack shook his head as Ty as he walked off.
"I wanna know what kind of idiot rives his truck around a horse?" Amy shouted at the boy in front her.
He scoffed. "Names Ty."
"Amy..." Ty started but cut her off pulling her into a long slow kiss. A small smile forced on her lips surprised and happy.
"I still love you." Amy said speaking confident. Her eyes now glancing at Ty wondering why he hadn't said anything back. Her mind began to panic that he didn't feel the same. She bit her lip slightly scared she wreaked her newfound friendship. Ty yelled her name in a tone she'd never heard from him. It was a mixture of fear and panic. Her eyes darted back to the road as Ty hastily grabbed the wheel jerking it toward him. For a second Amy was confused. As she seen the fallen tree came into view she slammed on the break. To her it happened in terrifyingly slow motion. It seemed to take forever for the truck to stop skidding after it lost control in the gravel. Her mind racing at the familiarity of this to the crash 4 years ago. Out of the corner of her eye she seen Ty thrown around like a rag doll before his head connected with the windshield. "Ty!" She screamed. But nothing came out. She was unable to reach Ty as the seatbelt held her in. It feeling like it was getting tighter and tighter.
"Ty!" Amy screamed as she sat upright trying to catch her breath. Her dark bedroom didn't help the onset of a panic attack fearing she was till trapped in the truck. She reached beside her in yet another subconscious attempt to get to Ty but only got her pillow. Her breathing eased slightly as she glanced around her room. Tears coming to her eyes as she hugged her pillow against her. This dream was slightly different then last nights. In it she had been covered in blood trying to stop his bleeding. And he had said he didn't feel the same the night before that. She wasn't sure which was the worst. She'd been a bit distant from Ty the next morning after that one. Unable to let go of him telling her he didn't love her. Sure she knew it was a dream but part of it stick with her. It was nights like this she wished Lou was still just down the hall. She'd love to crawl into bed next to her and sleep safely on her shoulder. Hugging her pillow she layed back down knowing she wouldn't get anymore sleep tonight.
