A Heartbeat Can Change Everything Chapter 3: The Announcement


Val looked up at Tyler, "Thanks, but I don't want to have to move. Well I will as long as it ain't out of this town. I don't want to
have to give up the squad. And leave you.....and Caitie, Jamie, Hank, and everyone else."


"Val. Don't think about that right now." Tyler told her.


"Val....you're awake." Joanna came out of her trance and noticed Val and Tyler were sitting there, "Tyler, you're supposed to
call home."


"Ok thanks." Tyler got up to go call his house.


"Mom..." Val started but was interrupted by her mom.


"Honey, go get your sister. We all need to talk. Meet me in the kitchen in about ten minutes." She told her oldest daughter.


Val nodded, "Ok. Mom, can Tyler stay please?" Val gave her mom a begging look.


"Um. Since you need him right now, sure."


"Thanks mom." Val got up to ask Tyler if he could or wanted to stay and to go get her sister up, if she wasn't up already.


Val got by the door to enter the house but heard Tyler talking on the phone. And not wanting to interrupt him she just stayed
there and tried not to overhear him.

~~~~~~

"William, I was told to call you..." Tyler started but got cut off.


"Don't you think you should come home?" William asked in a bad mood.


"That ain't up to you. You're NOT my boss." Tyler said, getting very sick of William acting like his dad.


"Get home NOW, Tyler."


"William. You are not my father. You can't tell me what to do. Val needs me right now and I'm going to stay with her. I'm not
coming home." After Tyler finished he slammed down the phone, and didn't let William get a chance to say anything more.

~~~~~

Tyler sat on the couch and Val came in, "Hey Tyler. Um. Do you think you could stay? My mum wants to talk to me and
Brooke and said you could stay if you wanted."


"Yeah I can." He told her with an attitude and than realized it, "Sorry. It's just William-the-great."


"It's ok. I understand. I have to go get Brooke up. I'll be right back."


"Ok."


Val walked up the stairs and down the hall to her sister's room. Val heard that Brooke was crying, though the door, and
knocked on the door, and than opened the door and went in to find that Brooke was lying on her stomach crying.


"Hey, Brooke, you got to get up. Mom wants to talk to us."


"O.K." Brooke got up off her bed and went over to the mirror and wiped her tears away. And Val and Brooke started down
the stairs.


Val and Brooke walked in the kitchen and seen Tyler and their mom sitting and waiting for them. Once they entered the kitchen
they sat down and Joanna began to talk, "Girls, we need to talk."


"What's wrong mom?" Brooke asked.


"I'm afraid we are going to have to move." Joanna said with sadness.


"Why? We have enough money, we can stay here." Val spoke up.


"It will just be too hard. It's hard as it is, I don't want to have to stand more pain living without your father, when we don't have
to. I'm sorry it is just too hard."


"Mom, it's hard for us to. We have to deal with it. There will always be pain no matter where we live. Please, mom , don't make
us move." Val begged, she didn't want to have to leave home.


"I'm sorry, girls. We are moving and that is final."


"Fine. I don't care. Do whatever you want." Val said while getting up and ran out of the house. Only Tyler knew where she
would go. The same place he always went when he is mad, or sad.


"I'll go see if I can find her." Tyler spoke up for the first time. Joanna nodded and Tyler walked out.


"So, Brooke, what do you think of this? Are you mad too?"


"No. Mom. I agree with you. It's too hard and I want to move also." Brooke got up and gave her mom a hug and a kiss and
went into her room saying she wanted to have time to herself.

Tyler walked up to the school, and around to the basketball court and heard the ball bouncing. He knew it was Val. He walked
around and saw her as she shot the ball and made it in the hoop, "Hey. Are you ok?"


Val got the ball and looked over at Tyler, "I'll be fine. I just want to be alone."


"Val, I understand what you're going through..." Tyler started but Val cut him off.


"No you don't. Your dad didn't die, he just moved away. It is NOT the same thing. Now PLEASE just leave me ALONE."
Val started to walk away but Tyler grabbed her arm.


"Ok. I will. But don't do anything stupid, and if you need to talk to someone, you can call me at anytime." Val shook her head
and Tyler turned away and started to leave but turned back around, "Oh and don't stay out too late, your mom is worried
about you." And with that he headed back to Val's house to tell her mom she was ok.
