A HEARTBEAT CAN CHANGE EVERYTHING
Chapter Two: The Memories
"Val I have to take you home. Your Mom and Brooke are going to be worried about you. It will be OK , come on."
Tyler said after a while of just sitting there, with his arm around her. He wanted to stay there and stay with her, but
her Mom must be worried sick about her.
Val just shook her head and started to climb down the tree, Tyler right after her. They got done and started to
walk home. Being they ran there, they had to walk. Tyler took Val's hand and Val was not about to protest. They
got to Val's about 5 minutes later and walked in. As soon as Joanna heard the door, she ran to it. Brooke had been
up in her room. Locked herself in there. "Honey are you OK?" She asked her daughter. Val just shook her head.
Val, still holding on to Tyler's hand, walked over to the couch and sat down. Tyler sat next to her, having a
worried look on his face. Joanna walked out of the room, to go check on Brooke, and as soon as she left, like on
cue, Val just started balling. Tyler scooted closer to her and put his arm around her and let her lay her head in his
chest crying. When Joanna came back down, Val was sleeping still on Tyler. And Tyler was half asleep and half
awake. He would glance down at Val everytime she would shift. He ended falling asleep and at about 9:00 that
night, the phone rang. Joanna, being the only one awake, Brooke had cried herself to sleep to, answered it, "Hello"
She just said it simple, no tone in her voice just a plan hello.
"Yeah, Hi. My name is William, I'm Tyler's stepfather. Would he be over there by chance. I heard what happened,
i'm sorry to hear that, so I kinda figured he would be with Val. Being how much he likes her and all." William
expressed a bit of worry in his voice.
"Hi. Yea he's over here. He found Val after she ran off and brought her here and Val fell asleep in his arms, while
she was crying and than he just fell asleep. Thanks. And you noticed that to huh? Well for the record she likes
him a lot. They are so cute together. They look just like I did with my hus...Yea um..So you want me to get Tyler up
or.." She was about to break down. She couldn't believe what all had happened.
"Um. If he's sleeping, let him be I guess. Just let him know, to call here when he gets up. Thanks. Have a nice
night."
"Thanks. You too."
And they said there good byes and hung up. Joanna stepped outside, out on there back pouch. Over looking the
small lake that was there. It was beautiful. She had remember back to the day her and her husband had been
sitting there, 17 or 18 years ago. She had just came home from a doctors appointment. She came out back where he
was sitting. And told him the happy news, she was pregnet. They had been both happy. Both waiting a girl. That
had been the exact same spot he had purposed to her, and when they also found out about Brooke. Joanna
wiped away the tears that came down. She sat down and went into a deep thought. About what she wouldn't be
able to tell.
Val woke up a few hours later, still lying on Tyler. She looked up and saw him, sleeping. 'Oh how cute he was
when he slept' Than it all came back to her, why he was there. What had happened. She got up and went to the
bathroom, than got a drink. She saw her Mom sitting out on the deck from the window and went out by her. Tyler
had woken up when Val moved, of course and now went out to follow her. Val just stood there, looking at her
Mom. She had never seen her so ... sad before. It was like the world was going to end. But they knew it wouldn't.
Tyler walked over to Val, and took her hand. She looked up at him and smiled. They sat down on the other side,
across from her Mom. Val was looking at her Mom, than looked at Tyler, and looked at the lake. She remembered
a lot of things happened there. She turned and looked at Tyler, "You know. This is where we were at when my
Mom told my dad, she was going to have another kid. I was supposed to be up in my room, because I got in trouble,
but I snuck out and I heard her tell him. I got mad. I didn't want a sister, or a brother. I wanted to be the only child.
I guess I was in fear they would love her or him more than me. But than my daddy took me out here and sat me
down and told me all the wonderful stuff I could do with her or him, when he or she got old enough. I also
remember we were here when I first saw you, you were walking down the street with Hank bickering about how
you two had to work together and be co-captians and how you were going to try out for the EMS thing and how
Hank said he was going to and that's how you two became friends. This was also where me and Caitie first meet,
cuz of our parents, and than we meet again the next day in school. This is where we had our first sleepover, out
here on the deck. A lot of things happened here, Tyler. Good, bad. And now there wont be anymore." Val sniffed.
"Val. Just cuz he aint here don't mean you still can't have the memories, or more. You can always have more
memories." Tyler begun.
"No. There wont be no more memories. He's gone. We are going to have to move out of this house. And find
somewhere else to live. Probably have to move out of Kingsport. It's cold out here and my Mom hasn't moved in
the last 5 hours." Val told him.
"Val. You might have to move, but you'll still have your family. And you can always go to them and you can
always come to me. Here.." He handed her his jacket and put his arm around her.."And I'm sure your Mom will be
fine."
