Chapter 9

Hey. I decided to do a pov for this and since I couldn't do Ty's I decided to do Amy's. So, enjoy!

Why was she here? That was the question running through my head for ages.

I sat outside Ty's room waiting for Kit to finish. I was thinking about Alano and his bond with Ty when I suddenly thought of Harley. No one had seen him for ages. He hadn't tried to get anyone's attention once. I then realised I hadn't seen him in ages because Soraya did Harley's feed instead of me. He hasn't been riding for ages. I suddenly thought. I decided to take him on a long trail ride down to the lake, me and Ty's favourite place to go.

It must have been an hour before Kit decided she would go home. I was deep in thought about Ty, the horses, the baby and the wedding when I heard the door open. I looked up and saw Kit coming out of the room. I stood up and walked to her. She turned and saw me. I saw the face go all weird, like she was worried I would kill her. I wouldn't with so many witnesses.

"Why were you in there?" I asked her, as I reached her.

"To see Ty. What else?" She answered smirking.

"Why though?" I asked, her smirk annoying me so so bad.

"Because I felt really bad." She said, her smirk falling.

"You were still stupid and selfish enough to do it!" I said, my voice rising with every word.

"Well, if that stupid horse wasn't so special to you, Ty would never have jumped in front of the bullet for it." She said, her voice also starting to rise.

"That was his choice. I bet he NEVER loved you that much." I was now yelling.

"Yeah? If you didn't go on about that horse then he wouldn't know how special he was." She yelled.

I couldn't take any more. I felt my right hand form into a fist and let it go. It hit her right on the nose! She ran off. I smirked. I only gave her a bit of a bloody nose! That was all. It would heal over time. I then remembered Spartan. He had been a bit weird since the incident and I knew for certain that was a trauma that may seem healed over time but never properly healed. Like me when mum died. It still hurts like mad sometimes and now Ty. I can't lose him too.

I sighed and walked to the door of Ty's room. I took a big, shaky breath and opened the door. I gasped slightly. He looked really peaceful, his chest rising and falling softly and steadily with each breath. There were machines surrounding him. Part of me wanted to just turn away and go home but the other part told me to stay, otherwise it will be harder. I hated seeing Ty like that. It was horrible. I decided to stay, for Ty. I sighed and went to a chair at the side of the bed. I reached over and took his hand in mine and squeezed it gently. "Come on, Ty. Please wake up. For heartland. For Harley. For Alano. For me, Ty. We all miss you like crazy and are desperate for you to come back. Please Ty. I also have some great news which includes you and it's really exciting. Please Ty. Please."

I sat like that until visiting hours were over, then I slowly walked back to the truck and drove back to Heartland.

Once I was back at Heartland, I walked into the kitchen and pulled off my boots. I looked on the table and saw a note:

Hey Amy,

Lou's out with Peter and I popped into town to grab a few things. I should be back soon.

Love, Grandpa.

I sighed, quite happy no one was home. I grabbed the paper and a pen.

Hey Grandpa,

thanks for the note. Kit finally decided to leave! I'm taking Harley out on a trail ride, he hasn't been ridden in ages. See you when I get back.

Love, Amy.

I pulled my boots back on and walked out to the barn.

When I got there, I walked down to Harley's stall, stopping to pat Spartan, Beatriz and Alano. When I got to Harley's stall, I couldn't see him. I looked in and saw him rolling on the straw, groaning. I gasped and reached in my phone for my phone. I punched Scott's number in.

"Hey Scott. It's Amy. Can you come over?" I nearly shouted into the phone.

"Why?" Scott asked.

"I think Harley has colic. How far away are you?"

"I've just finished with this patient. I should be there in about 10 minutes. Stay calm and try and get him to stand. I'll be there as soon as I can."

"OK. Thanks Scott." I hung up and crouched down next to Harley. I looked closer and saw Harley's abdomen was swelling up. "Oh Harley. Come on. You gonna stand for me?" I said taking his halter and standing slowly. I watched as Harley tried to get up but failed and fell back down. I let him lie for a few seconds and then tried again. This time, Harley made it up.

"Good boy, Harley. Good boy." I said, scratching under his forelock. I knew that was favourite place. "We're gonna get through this, OK? For Ty." I said softly. I walked him forward slowly and out of the barn. When they got out, Amy saw Scott. He took a quick look.

"Yep. That's defiantly colic. Do you know how he might have got it?" Scott asked, looking at me.

"I haven't had chance to look yet." I replied. Scott nodded. He went back to his truck while I walked him around. He came back with pain relief and then Scott turned to me.

"I'll have to operate. It can cost a lot though."

"that's fine. We have to do it for Ty. I'll call Lou to see if he is insured."

"OK Then." he said.

"I'll follow in Ty's truck." I said. He nodded. I grabbed my phone and punched in Lou's number.

"Hey Lou, it's Amy. Harley coliced. Do you know if he is insured?" I said.

"He should be. You go and I'll check when I get home." Lou said.

"OK. Thanks Lou. See you later." I hung up and followed Scott.

They soon got there and I was left to watch helplessly as Harley was led away. I got in Ty's truck to keep fairly warm. I put the radio on and found one of me and Ty's favourite songs. 'Halo' by Beyonce. She turned it up and sighed. Soon Scott came out to find her.

The song was long finished and I was listening to one of just my favourite songs. 'White Horse' by Taylor Swift which was followed by 'Our Song' by Taylor Swift then 'Mine' by Taylor Swift and then 'Ours' by Taylor Swift and 'Bless the Broken Road' by Rascal Flatts and finally 'While you loved me' by Rascal Flatts. I found it slightly weird that all her favourite songs were playing.

I saw Scott and got out. "The surgery went fine and worked!" he said as I hugged him.

"Thank you. Can I see him?" I asked.

"Sure." he said. I followed him. We found him and I walked up to him.

"See. I told you we could make it." I whispered to him. Then I repeated what I had said quite a few times. "For Ty."
