You Still Move Me

Chapter 5: "The Untold Truth"

By: hshygns14

The day went by quick and Scott was nowhere to be found. Ty and Amy had finished up with most of the horses, but were running out of daylight. They both packed up their stuff and rode back in silence to the house. Ty was pleased how the day turned out despite their differences. They put them aside and worked together to get the horses vaccinated.

Once they were back at the house, Ty's cell phone started to ring on his hip. Ty reached down and answered the phone "Hello?"

Amy watched Ty from a distance. Today, had been good for them. They both trusted and respected each other's work to get along. With Ty on the phone, she took it upon herself to situate their horses and make her way inside to build a fire.

"I got some bad news." Ty spat out as he entered the house.

Amy could only imagine what this was going to be about. "Yeah?"

Ty let out a breath before speaking. "Scott is not going to be able to make it back tonight. There is a snow storm back in Hudson."

"Oh…" Amy answered while letting her head fall down. They could make it together for one night? Right?

"There's not supposed to be any snow here, but we can't get into Hudson. How about I make us something to eat?"

Amy's ears perked up at food. She felt like she hadn't eaten in days. "Sure, I'm just going to go into the bathroom and clean up."

Ty stood still until Amy had retreated into the bathroom. For a thirty year old man, he still couldn't find words to say. Today, had been torture for Ty. The feelings he thought were long gone, definitely weren't gone. He thought it might be from closure, but there was no denying how he felt about Amy Flemming.

Tracking on, Ty got a few supplies out of his bags and turned on the stove. He hoped chicken noodle soup would be okay because that's really all they brought to eat besides sandwiches. The cans opened easily for Ty. He poured the soup into a pot and let it cook slowly on the stove.

Before the soup was finished, Amy came back out of the bathroom. "So, what are we eating?"

Ty looked up from his spot at the stove. She was wearing a long sleeve sweatshirt, comfy sleep pants and there had to be like three socks upon her feet. Ty chuckled slightly at her socks. "I hope chicken noodle soup is okay…"

Amy walked over to the stove and stirred the soup for herself. "I'm so hungry that I could eat anything."

The soup finally finished and Ty poured it into two different bowls. He gave one to Amy and soon followed to sit in front of her at the table. The questions he wanted to ask were dancing in his mind, but he didn't want to push things.

"So, was being a Vet all that you wanted it to be?" Amy asked trying to deaden the awkwardness between them.

Ty finished his bite before answering. "Well, I couldn't imagine doing anything else. It's hectic sometimes, but it's worth it. How about you? You like traveling all over the world?"

She knew it was coming, but didn't want to give him an honest answer. "It's not bad. I miss home a lot, but the horses I come in contact with are unbelievable."

"How are Lou and the family?"

"They're good. Georgie has grown up so fast. She is beautiful." Amy mustered out. Still not believing how big Georgie had gotten in her absence.

"Yeah, the last time I was in town is saw her. She invited me to her trick riding show. She's pretty good!" Ty exclaimed thinking about Georgie riding the horse around the arena.

Amy was confused at his statement. "How often do you visit Hudson?"

"A few times a year. Why do you ask?"

"I just figured you didn't come much with your practice and all." Amy mentioned hoping to get off the subject.

"It's hard to believe this is the first time we ran into each other since…." Ty started to say, but wish he didn't.

Amy looked up at him when he stopped. "Break up. You can say it."

"No, I was going to say since you left." Ty replaced her words with his own. He could now feel his heart start to ache. His mind going back to the moment she got on that helicopter.

Amy suddenly wasn't hungry anymore. "Umm, I'm just going to get warm."

"Amy, is everything okay? I'm sorry if I said something." Ty quickly tried to stop her as she got up from the table.

Amy stopped walking and turned back around to face him. She couldn't stop from saying what she was about to say. "Why does everyone keep punishing me for leaving? Everyone pushed me to go and then when I enjoyed it, people couldn't stand it!"

Ty stared at Amy for a moment. He didn't know how to reply. "I'm sorry, Amy."

"No, you're not. You're mad just like everyone else." Amy finally got out.

Ty hated to see that his words had hurt her feelings. Truth is, Ty was angry with her for not coming back. "Amy, you want to know the truth? I was furious that you never came back. Heck, I'm still mad you didn't come back. You were supposed to marry me!"

Amy could now see it in his eyes. The burning desire to get closure after all of these years. "Ty, you didn't want to wait. When I came back from Europe, you had moved to Vancouver. I didn't know what to do."

"It's not like I knew you were coming. After we agreed on our break, I never heard from you again." Ty finally raised his voice at Amy. The anger built up inside him was almost too much to take.

"Ty, I tried to call you several times. It either didn't go through or you didn't get my messages. "Amy matched his voice when she replied.

Her words got him to stop and think before he spoke again. Ty had never received any messages on his phone or at the clinic. "I'm sorry, but I didn't get your messages. If I did though, who's to say that it would have changed anything?"

Amy couldn't look at him. The hurt in her chest wouldn't allow her. She desperately wished she could run away right now. Amy had hoped that things would have been different, but they're not. Both of them are on their separate paths. She turned away from Ty and walked over to the fireplace. The arguing wouldn't help their predicament.

"Amy, please. I didn't mean to raise my voice." Ty tried to apologize and walked up to her.

Tears started to show up in the brim of her eyes. They needed to get everything off their chest now that they had the chance. "It hasn't been easy. The moment I got off the phone with you, I regretted everything. I thought it was the best for both of us so I didn't bring it up. I continued six more months on the tour and finally decided to come home. I had tried to call and tell you, but you never answered. The moment I returned to Heartland, I went by your place and you were gone. At that point, I was sure you didn't want to see me. I sucked it up and went on with my life. I have been working for Ahmed ever since."

Ty sighed at her words. Part of him wished he would have never left, but that's in the past. She needed to know his side of the story. "After a few months, I just assumed you didn't want to be with me anymore. It got hard seeing your family and everyone in town so I left. The transition was hard, but bearable. I had to leave everything that I had planned with you. If I didn't, I would have never been able to be happy."

The word 'happy' echoed into her ears. "So you're happy? Truly happy?"

Ty didn't know how to answer her question. Before he came back, he thought he was happy. Now, he wasn't so sure if it was real. "I'd like to think I am…"

"I'm glad you're happy. That's all I ever wanted." Amy whispered hoping that he wouldn't hear her voice. Despite his confession, Amy was miserable. She had been miserable for a long time. Amy tried to move on a few times, but everything led back to Ty. It wasn't something she was proud of, but nothing seems to help…..
