Fate or Fortune?

Chapter 1- Prologue

Seven years ago Amy's POV

With Lou in hospital and Ty and me not talking so much I might feel a bit out of it. The only thing that keeps me going at the moment is the constant texts from my boyfriend Will. We are both in the pre-vet program at Virginia tech.

Ever since me and Ty broke up in Spring break I have going out with Will.

He is cute and funny and is the only one who helped me when I was down.

He's the best!

Anyway now I am home for summer break. And as I said his texts are the only thing that keeps me going.

I walked out of the kitchen and onto the yard, hoping that Ty would not be there. He was but not in my view.

He said we would always be friends but he has been growing more and more distant.

I got into my new Audi RS4 and drove to the hospital.

In her room Lou was sitting up in bed. Her face tuned stony when she saw me.

"Lou…" I said about to explain myself.

"No, Amy. You took away my baby for heaven sakes!"

Now that was unfair. "I didn't. When you were in recovery I held her for a little and so what we bonded a bit. Who cares?"

"I do. She hated me when she first saw me. Just leave. Please…" Tears streamed down Lou's face and I backed out.

In the corridor I bumped into a very firm chest. Looking up I saw a pair emerald green eyes looking down at me.

"Hi" said Ty unemotionally.

"Oh hey." I said to keep the conversation going.

"I'd better get going. Bye" He told me and he started to walk out.

"Wait!" I stopped him, feeling it was time to face my fears. "Why have you been avoiding me?"

He stiffened. I flinched. "Why don't you just go back to your lovely Will and forget me again. I'm sure you would be happier that way."

This time I stiffened. He didn't flinch. "Maybe I will." I murmured in reply.

"There you go again! Mentioning him!" Ty said sarcastically.

I shivered. There was coldness in his voice that I had not heard in years.

"Ty…" I tried to explain, to find a way to get him to forgive me.

"NO!" he almost yelled at me. "I have had enough." He said a little calmer but still shaking with anger. "Why don't you leave? I think you have done enough."

I opened my mouth to argue but before I could say a word he interrupted me.

"Just leave, Amy! You've changed."

That really hit me. "What?" I asked shakily.

"You heard me. Goodbye Amy!" With that he turned and walked into Lou's room.

Tears blurred my eyes as I walked out the hospital and drove home.

It was a good thing it was the end of the holidays because I couldn't stand staying here for one more moment.

With that I left and hoped never to come back.
