the book of healing

chapter eight

At The Dalton House 
Lily walks into the house crying when Wade walks over and hugs her.
“Baby what’s wrong?” Asked Wade.
“Ty is still going to publish that book…and he told me to shut up,” Said Lily, crying.
“I’m going to kill him,” Said Wade, pissed.

In The Office 
Ty is writing his book when Amy comes in.
“Are you writing again?” Asked Amy.
“Yeah…I’m sorry this book has caused so many problems between us,” Said Ty, guilty.
“It’s okay, I’m just glad it’s helping you,” Said Amy, happily.
Suddenly Ty is pulled backward and slammed into a wall by Wade. 
“What the hell? Get off me!” Said Ty, confused and pissed.
Ty starts fighting Wade off him and Wade throws Ty on the floor and kicks Ty when Ty trips him and tackles him to the ground and Amy tries to pull Ty off him.
“Guys stop! Why are you fighting!” Yelled Amy, confused
The fight continues and Amy runs out of the barn.

In The House
Amy runs into the house.
“Grandpa! Ty and Wade are fighting!” Said Amy.
“What?” Said Jack getting up.
“What happened?” Asked Lou.
“The book he’s writing is causing problems which isn’t good cause it’s really helping Ty,” Said Amy, worried. 
“Never mind that, where are they fighting?” Asked Jack, worried.
“The barn,” Said Amy, worried.

In The Barn 
Jack and Amy run out to the barn where Wade and Ty are still fighting. Jack pulls Wade off of Ty and separates them.
“Now what in the hell is going on?” Asked Jack, upset.
“He hurt his mom by trying to publish that book so I was getting even,” Said Wade.
“What is this damn book I keep hearing about?” Asked Jack, upset.
“His dumbass dairy!” Said Wade, mockingly.
“Get out of here! And give me that ” Demand Jack pulling a crowbar out of Wade’s hand. Amy runs over to Ty who has blood running down his face.
“Are you okay?” Asked Amy, worried.
“Yeah,” Said Ty in pain.
“Come on let’s go great you cleaned up,” Said Amy, softly. 
Amy and Ty walk upstairs and into the loft. 

In The House 
Jack walks into the house.
“Is Ty okay?” Asked Lou, worried.
“He’s bleeding some, but Amy is with him. Do you know anything about Ty's book?” Asked Jack.
“Yeah, we’ll not much but what I do know is he used to keep a journal when he was a kid to help him deal with what was happening to him and somehow Amy convinced him to turn it into a book and sell it,” Said Lou.
“We’ll that sounds like a great thing!” Said Jack, happily.
“Apparently Lily doesn't think so, she says it makes her look like a horrible mom,” Said Lou, annoyed.
“But wasn’t her husband just here beating up Ty with a crowbar? I don’t think it’s the book that makes her look like a bad mom,” Said Georgie. 
“Yeah….Georgie right it’s Lily's fault she wasn’t a good mom, not Ty’s so he shouldn’t be punished for it,” Said Lou.
“You’re right, I’m going to go talk to him,” Said Jack.
Jack walks out the door. 

In The Loft
Jack walks into the loft as Ty gets up from the couch holding his ribs.
“Ty just sit,” Said Jack, worriedly.
“I’m fine,” Said Ty.
“So this book do you think it’s helping you?” Asked Jack.
“Well I can really walk, it hurts to breathe and now I also can barely see out of my right eyes. My mom’s pissed at me again and earlier today so was Amy, so yeah it’s helping a lot,” said Ty, sarcastically.
“I know, you’re being sarcastic but I do think it’s helping you,” Said Jack.
“You didn’t even know I was writing it until an hour ago,” Said Ty, puzzled.
“You’re right I didn’t but I did know something was going on, you seemed at ease more than normal,” Said Jack.
“Really? I did?” Asked Ty, surprised.
“Yeah you did, so don’t stop writing it because of your mom or anyone else. This is helping you, if she can’t see that well then that’s her loss,” Said Jack.
“Thanks Jack,” Said Ty with a little smile.
“Just promise me you’ll keep this up,” Said Jack.
“I will, Jack,” Said Ty.
“Good, now get some rest,” Said Jack.
