Picking Up The Pieces

Hi. Another chapter. I'm gonna try and get as much as I can up today since I'm actually NOT sure if I'll be able to update tomorrow since I have my school's spring music concert which usually happens from 7-9.30 and I'm going to my friend's after school so, yeah. I really don't know if you guys are actually enjoying this or not so please review. Enjoy!

Perfect heart
She's flawless
She's the other woman
Shining in her splendor
You were lost

I looked down the yard. Ty and Kit had Harley and Cookie tacked up. Wait! Cookie? Me and Ty agreed I was going to be the first to ride her when she was ready. I sigh, sadly. Ty looks over at me and smiles. He waves. I couldn't do anything but just spin on my heel.
"Amy!" I hear him call. I keep my back to him, even though it was killing me.
"Come on, baby. If she wasn't selfish, then she wouldn't mind me riding Cookie." I hear Kit say and I feel tears spring to my eyes. I start sobbing and I turn around to see Ty looking at me, realising my tears and riding off. I had basically just lost my friend

Kit looks really good on a horse. The way her black hair floats out behind her. The way that she's such a great rider. The way she's never stressed on a horse. I can see why Ty likes her. She is a pretty good rider.

Wait. Why am I saying stuff like this? I hate her, don't I? Great! Now she's messing with my head. Thanks Kit.

I spin on my heel and stalk down to see Spartan. I let myself into the stall and give Spartan a horse biscuit. I put my head against his mane and just stay there for a few minutes, listening to the soft chomping noise that Spartan was making. After a while, I decide to work a few horses to take my mind off Ty and her.

After I'd worked the 2 horses that needed working, I decided I needed a ride. Ty and Kit weren't back but to be perfectly honest, I didn't really care. If they weren't back by dinner, I'd go looking. They were probably just somewhere being sickly adorable. I don't know. Ty knew the trails well enough anyway.

I decided to go up to an open field I loved. It was full of flowers of pretty much all colours and it's always so quite and peaceful. The grass is fairly long but I don't care. I think it makes it look better too. I go there or the lake if I need time to myself since only I know about them. I sigh as I give Spartan a long rein. He starts grazing and I let my thoughts drift. Funny enough, they went to Ty and Kit. Ugh! I wanted to get away from them. I tried to keep my thoughts away but it didn't work so I gave up and let my thoughts wander.

Why had Ty given Kit Cookie? Why had Ty worked Cookie with Kit? Why did all Ty's thoughts include Kit? Why couldn't I get anytime with Ty?

I felt myself start to cry, what had happened to my best friend? I decided to head home after about an hour. I knew dinner would be ready soon and Lou wouldn't like it if I was late for dinner. I wondered whether Ty and Kit were back yet. I hoped Kit was going home for the rest of today.

I got home and untacked Spartan. I walked down to Harley and Cookie's stalls. They were both still gone. I thought Ty might have decided to turn them out for the night. I walked up to the house and met the smell of Lou's chilli. I suddenly realised I was starving, I hadn't eaten all day. I walked into the kitchen and saw Lou dishing it out.
"Hey Amy. Your just in time." She said.
"I wouldn't plan on missing it. Grandpa would go mad!" I joked, missing out the part where she would too.
"Yeah. Can you go tell Ty it's ready?" Lou asked. I felt my stomach knot up.
"I'll go check, but I don't think he's down there." I say.
"Um, where could he be?" Lou asked, her face etched with worry.
"He and Kit went riding earlier. That's the only place I can think he'd be. I'll go ask Grandpa if he's seen him." I replied and dashed into the living room.

"What's the rush?" Grandpa joked.
"Have you seen Ty?" I ask.
"Not since he went on the ride earlier." Grandpa replied and I feel sick with worry. What's happened to him? He's never late to dinner. He knows how much Lou and Grandpa don't like it.

I sprint down to the barn, my hunger suddenly gone. I look for Ty. He's not here. I then check Harley's stall. Then I checked Cookie's. They're still gone. I grab my phone out of my pocket no messages. I punch in his number. It goes to voicemail. I feel tears start streaming down my face. I run out to the paddocks. Harley and Cookie aren't there either. I run inside.
"Harley and Cookie aren't there and neither is Ty." I sob.
"They're probably just running late." Lou said, pulling me into a hug.
"But Ty's NEVER late to dinner." I point out.
"I know. Have something to eat and then you can go search." Lou replied softly but firmly. I quickly eat it and then I run out to tack Spartan up. Lou follows me.
"You have your phone?" She asks.
"Yep." I answer, patting my pocket to make sure it's still there.
"Come back at the first sign of dark, whether you've found them or not, OK?" Lou says, firmly. I nod and smile gratefully at her.
"Thank you." I push Spartan into a gallop. What trail would they go? Most likely Ty's favourite, I suppose.

Hey. Me again. I don't know. I think Amy is super out of character in this. I DO think this is how she felt during the whole Ty and Kit thing. Ugh. I forgot how irritating Kit was. Oh! And I managed to BEG one of my friends to watch Heartland the other day and they loved it. I was just there like, 'I told you. I TOLD YOU!'. OK. Thanks for reading and please review. Thanks!
