HeartLand: Ty's Past.

Chapter 2.

Ty moved in his sleep, as he suddenly bolted awake, panting and all sweaty, he tried catching his breath. He looked at the time on his clock, seeing it was 7:30. He already missed breakfast, but he didn't care. He wasn't feeling all that hungry anyway.

Ty stood up and grabbed his clothes and chucked them on, wearing: A green t-shirt, dark blue jeans.

Ty then exited his room and walked down the stairs and outside.

"You're up late." Tim commented.

"You think, I can't tell time?" Ty muttered, as he nodded to Jack, "Anything need doing, Jack?"

"Just need to feed the horses." Jack said.

"On it." Ty said, as he walked back into the barn, and grabbed a feeding bucket, while putting powders in the bucket, some for muscle strengh.

Ty sighed, as he walked upto Phoenix, he stopped his hand frozen on the handle to open the gate. He looked upto the horse, who seemed starving, but he just couldn't bring himself to do it. Not since that day, 2 years ago.

Just then Amy walked in, smiling at Ty before stopping infront of Spartans stable, petting him before looking up at Ty's tense body and face.

"Ty?" Amy asked, knocking Ty out of his trance.

"Coud you feed Phoenix?" Ty asked, passing Amy the bucket and walking outside, not giving Amy a chance to answer.

Ty took deep breaths, as he leaned on the wall outside, before groaning and punching it. He hissed in pain, as he looked at his fist, where he ripped some skin off. As just then Amy walked over, with Lou.

"Hey Ty, we are going for a ride." Amy said, as Ty put on a fake grin and hid his hand behind his back, and nodded.

"Ty, are you okay?" Lou asked. Of course, over the past year Ty's kinda become part of the family, so Lou and Amy both seemed pretty concerned about Ty's odd behaviour.

"Yeah, perfect." Ty said, putting on a fake smile.

"Okay? Well, Grandpa wanted you to fix the truck, Think you can do it?" Amy asked, hoping onto her house, while Lou did the same with hers.

"You know it." Ty said, as Amy and Lou smiled before riding off. Ty huffed.

Ty looked at the truck, while wiping his hands on a oil covered towel. He had been fixing the truck for over an hour, finding the problem to be that the truck kept on over heating.

"Hey." Jack said, walking over to the truck and Ty, Ty just nodded, as Jack looked at him then his eyes traveled down to his hand, what was bandaged up, "What happened to you're hand?"

"Eh. Nothing, I can't handle, Jack." Ty said, shutting the hood of the truck, "Truck's fix. It just kept on over heating. Just needed an oil change. Should be all good for now, but I am no expert."

"Thanks Ty." Jack said.

Ty just nodded and put the rench away in the tool box by his feet, and closed the lid, while starting to walk back into the barn with it in hand. Ty put the tool box down and pushed it under the row of saddles.

He sighed, while looking up. He looked at all of the horses, walking past them as he looked around, his eyes landing on the broom, hwwat he picked up. As just then, the horse in the stable beside it, also known as Phoenix, neighed and reared up. Ty quickly backed away, panting.

"Ea-easy boy..." Ty said carefully, leaning against the wall, gaining his breath.

He had never been scared of horses, well at least he wasn't a big fan of them. Well, surely, secretly he likes them. But, he needs to keep that secret, but if he couldn't see the on ehorse he cared about, he doesn't wanna know.
