Chapter 4

The following week Amy was back for her last year in School. When she noticed a few girls surrounding some lad she didn't know, she caught a glimpse and kept looking every so often as she walked into school.
"Soraya whose the new lad".
"Oh he's not new he's to old by two years".
"So why's he at School".
"He was dropping off his Sister Jennifer".
"Oh right".
"Amy, you've been out of circulation for a while, their Parents bought Briar Ridge, he's very handsome, his names Tyler Borden, come with me to Maggie's after school as he pops in all the time".
"Err I don't know".
"Amy, Jesse cleared off, not that he treated you very well anyway, you need to move on".
"Well I'll meet him but I have to give Jesse a bit more time where ever he is don't I, it hasn't been that long, only two weeks ".
"Yeah, that's true Amy. Have you tried phoning him".
"Yep, his Phones dead"
"Try phoning his Mum Amy".
"Duh, why didn't I think of that ha ha".

At lunchtime Amy phoned Val to find out what was going on.
"Hello Val it's Amy, have you seen Jesse".
"Hi Amy, yes he's here".
" I don't know where I Stand Val. He left without a word, no letter, nothing, he only came to see me twice while I was in a Coma and a couple of times after I woke up, that's not how a couple who are dating act Val.
Do I move on or is he coming back".
"Hang on Amy,  I will find out what he's playing at".
"JESSE, WHAT ARE YOU PLAYING AT,
How could you leave Amy and not say anything".
"She's to young and Jacks always on my back, don't touch her, any part of me crosses that line of 10 foot will have that part removed, so it's over I'll find a real woman".

"I'm sorry Amy".
"It's okay Val I heard, I wish Grampa would mind his own business, I never knew he was doing all that, I'll Just move on. Thanks Val, Bye".
"Bye Amy".

After School Amy met Soraya at Maggie's.
"So what did Val have to say Amy".
"She went to find out but I heard everything he said, he Wants someone who will give him sex all the time but also my Grampa had been warning him off and threatening him so we're finished, I'm not going to be used. Then again am I ever going to get a proper boyfriend with Jack interfering in my so called love life".
"But he isn't your father, he's Just your Grandfather, you should tell your dad Amy, anyway here he comes".
"Hello Ty, I'd like to introduce you to my friend Amy".
"Hello Ty".
"Hello Amy, how are you, I know what you've been through According to the Gossiping in School and around town".
"I'm doing okay thank you,  still recovering slowly".

Soraya left them to it and got changed and started work. When she came out after her break  they were both still sat at the table chatting away and Laughing.
Soraya could not remember the last time she saw Amy looking so relaxed or smiling to be honest.
"Mum, Amy and Tyler have been sat there for over an hour now and look at the smile on her face".
"Yep, that's what I said to Lisa".
"You phoned Lisa!!!!".
"Well I thought it best to let her know where she was and not to expect her home Just yet, especially Jack".
"Your the best mom, thank you".

"So I understand you work with Horses like your Mum used to do, what exactly do you do Amy".
Amy explained what she did and the methods she used unless the horse really needed a Vet.
Ty was fascinated and when Amy explained that her mother built a small Racing track around the property so she could help Racehorses  his interest was piqued.
"What is your Family's interest in horses Tyler  showjumping or Racing,  or is it a Stud Farm..".
"Haha, we breed and Race Good quality Thoroughbred's".
Eventually Ty needed to get home.
"How are you getting home Amy".
"Oh goodness I didn't realise the time, I'm so sorry for keeping you here so long, I'd better see if my grandfather can pick me up".
"Nonsense , I  have to pass Heartland on my way to Briar Ridge so I'll drop you off, you can explain a little more about Herbs on the way back".
"Oh  thank you Tyler".
"Please call me Ty, Amy".
