Sorry about the later update today. I kept getting distracted and today was just an overall bad day so, you know, yeah. But it's finally done. Whoop whoop. One part left after this and I don't know what I'm gonna do. Probably just an epilogue thingy or something probably. We'll wait and see. Hope this is okay. I hope! Enjoy!
'Cause she's gone
And I'm picking up the pieces
I watch you cry
But you don't see that I'm the one by your side
'Cause she's gone
In her shadow is it me you see?
'Cause all that's left is you and I
And I'm picking up the pieces
She left behind
"Come in." I called, answering the knock on my door. Ty and I had finished all the chores early today and it was a lot of the horses' day off so I decided to get a start on some assignments that I had been given.
"Hey Ames." Ty wandered in and sat on my bed. I turned to look at him in surprise. I thought he'd left!
"Hey Ty. What's up?"
"Well, I've been doing some thinking..." Was this good or bad? "...And I honestly, trust you with everything. You're my best friend and I can't imagine life without you."
"You're my best friend as well."
"I know. And I've been really unfair to you. Look, what I'm trying to say is that I think I'm ready to give us a try. If you still wanted to?"
"Of course I still want to." I smiled reassuringly. How could he even think I wouldn't?
"Okay." He breathed a sigh of relief. "Good."
I laughed. "Are you sure you're ready?"
"I think so." He replied.
I just had to hope he was right.
It all went really well for the first few days. It wasn't really any different from being friends only I knew he was mine. I didn't have to fight to be his number 1... And I was loving it! But it all had to come to an end.
We were curled up on the couch, watching the TV when I noticed something weird.
"Ty?" I asked softly. When I got no reply, I looked up at him. He was looking straight at the TV without really seeing, tears in his eyes. I pushed myself up, biting back a sigh, and gazed at him. "Ty." I said more firmly, pulling him from his trance.
"Sorry." He sighed, tightening his arm around me.
"What's wrong?" I asked sheepishly. I didn't want him to shut me out again.
"I was just thinking. Kit was the first girl to really like me, you know? She actually made me feel like I was more than a friend to a girl-"
I was about to interrupt but he held up a finger and carried on.
"But I was so oblivious because you've been waiting so long. You made me feel amazing whenever I was around you but I was so naïve. I didn't realise that was love. And I nearly lost you as a friend for her and I don't know what I would've done. I'm so sorry, Amy."
I was so shocked. What had bought all this on. And that was when I realised, I absolutely needed to be here for him. He wasn't the same, over-confident guy he was when he first got to Heartland.
I have GOT to work on my endings! Seriously. They're horrible. On another totally random note which no one will care about, I'm texting my best friend and I'm saying how I'm too nice to Tommy (my pony) and don't discipline enough and I was saying how I think we are an equal team and my friend says that you don't see him beating me with a whip (it's not implying I beat him with a whip, I DON'T! I only tap when he refuses a teeny weeny jump and gets on my nerves!) and now we are both in hysterics because all we can picture is him chasing me around the school with a whip! I'm laughing soo hard! Anyways, until next time, review? Pretty please? :)
