Lisa poked her head into Amy's room slightly alarmed that the usually early girl was still in bed. "Hey, sweetie. You want to come into town with me?"
"I don't feel like it." Amy answered back sleepily.
Lisa wrinkled her brow concerned as she stepped into the room immediately placing a hand on Amy's forehead. "You don't feel warm. But you look tired. You feeling okay, honey?" Amy shook her head. "Why don't you try to get some sleep. I'll bring you some breakfast in a bit." Amy nodded before back onto her side.
"Hey, Lisa. Where's Amy?" Ty asked as he filled his plate with the leftover eggs on the stove.
"She's still sleeping." She answered before grabbing her keys off the desk. "Do you mind doing the morning feeding?"
"Uh, sure." Ty said hesitant glancing down toward the living room.
"Great. Thanks." She said rushing out the door never telling Ty where she was going or how long she'd be gone. And leaving him curious as to why Amy was still in bed.
After finishing his breakfast, Amy startled him as she emerged from the bathroom. "Hey."
"Hey. You look about how I feel." He joked.
"Thanks a lot." She shoved him playfully. "You leave me any eggs?"
"Maybe." He smirked. "Seriously though, are you okay?"
Amy looked up after taking a bit out of her toast. "Yeah, why?"
"Because..." He pointed at her.
"I haven't been sleeping." She said like it was nothing.
Ty frowned as he watched Amy. Something was bothering her. But he couldn't figure out what.
Amy yawned again as she filled the hay nets with hay. She smiled at Ty who noticed. "What?"
"Nothing."
"It's not nothing. Why are you staring at me?"
"Your cute, you know that?" He smiled walking up behind her. He wrapped his arms around her waist.
"I've been told." She smiled turning around in his arms to face him. She kissed his cheek. Ty leaned in to kiss her back but Amy yawned. "Sorry." She giggled.
Ty pulled away and instead grabbed her hand. He lead her to the loft stairs. "I'll finish down here."
Amy considered his offer but shock her head no. "Only if you come with me."
"This feels nice." Amy said as she nuzzled in closer to Ty as the two layed out on Ty's bed. He had his arms wrapped around her.
"What's going on? Why aren't you sleeping?" He asked concerned looking down at her. She shrugged. "Amy?"
"I've been having nightmares about the accident."
"Is that why you've been pushing me away?"
"No. No, of course not." Amy defended turning to face him.
"I know it's hard for us to be together. But there's more your not telling."
She sighed. "Every dream starts with the accident. It's always the same. I tell you I love you and then boom. Problem is it always changes after that. It's always different." Amy shifted in Ty's arms. "Two nights ago I told you I loved you and you wouldn't say it back. You told me you didn't love me." Her voice creaked as tears came to her eyes.
"Hey...you know that's not true. I told you in the truck that night that I do feel the same." He looked down at Amy and tightened his grip on her shoulders.
"I know that. It's just hard to remember sometimes that we are together. A few years ago I never would have thought this to be possible. You and me like this."
"Me either. But we are. And it's nice." Ty smiled at Amy. "And I do love you."
"I love you too." She leaned up and kissed him.
"Hey, Ty. Where's Amy?" Jack asked as he got back to the barn. He looked around surprised she wasn't in the barn. She's always there.
"Asleep." He said grabbing Jack's horses lead. Jack wrinkled his nose. "Lisa said she hasn't been sleeping. She's in the loft." He pointed.
"Don't work that hand too much. It needs to heal properly."
"I know." He nodded. He watched as Jack climbed the steps to go check on Amy. He hated having to leave her but knew the two couldn't be seen together much less sleeping together. After she had finally feel asleep in his arms. And he reluctantly went back to finish the chores.
