Ty groaned, as he slowly opened his eyes. He yawned, when he was suddenly jumped on.

"Wakey, wakey!" Came Jacob's shout.

"Jacob, come on Buddy. Get off of him." Lucas said, as Jacob smiled and sat next to Ty. Ty sighed, as he slowly opened his eyes, seeing Lucas and Jacob, but no Amelia and Milly.

"Where the girls..?" Ty mumbled, while squinting, adjusting to the light flowing into the room from the Barn and outside.

"They are down stairs. I do think you kinda got wasted, drank maybe 4 beers?" Lucas said, as he picked Jacob up, "Go on Buddy. Go find Mummy and Sissy."

Jacob nodded and ran out of the room, while Lucas sat on the end of Ty's bed.

"Hey, is everything okay?" Lucas asked, as Ty sighed, "You never drink. And, I mean never. You wanna talk?"

Ty huffed, before leaning up, he sighed softly.

"I-I don't know if everything is okay, Lukey..." Ty mumbled, "I mean, my Dad's out of Prison, I can't keep an eye onto Storm, and I can't protect everybody I care about. And, then theres this girl, she keeps on bugging me, and is crazy."

"A crazy girl, hey?" Lucas said, smirking as Ty just shoved his shoulder, while sitting right beside him, "But, hey, come on. I am sure Storm will find a way to get back to you, he always does. And, about that Dad issue. We won't let nobody hurt a little hair on you're head."

"Shut up." Ty said, chuckling as he pushed Lucas hand away from his hair, as he grabbed his black t-shirt and pulled it on over his head, with his leather jacket, "Wait, when are you going home?"

"Well, about that." Lucas said, standing, "Me and Amelia actually talked about that last night... we realised how much pain you were in, Ty. And, how could we just leave with you like that! I promised you when you were little I would always be there with you, like a big brother should, but I broke that promise... and I won't make the same mistake twice. I hope you don't mind we are staying a little longer?"

"What-what!?" Ty shouted, before hugging Lucas tightly, laughing, "Thank you. But, you didn't have to do this."

"But, I wanted to." Lucas said, laughing as he and Ty walked out of the bedroom and out of the Barn, Ty grabbing an apple and chucking it to Storm, what he jumped and caught, neighing loudly, "Hey, why don't you ride him?"

"I can't, Lucas. He isn't my horse." Ty said, walking into the kitchen with Lucas following.

"Morning." Amelia smiled warmly, while standing up and kissing Lucas's cheek.

"Ew! Get a room you two. There are kids in here." Ty said, sitting on the seat opposite Jacob and Milly.

"What, are you meaning yourself or the 3 and 8 year old?" Lucas asked, with a smirk, as Ty rolled his eyes. Jack walked into the room, smiling.

"Morning Ty." Jack said, as Ty nodded, before standing and putting the cups of coffee on the table, into the sink before looking out of the window at hearing a shout. His eyes widened at seeing Amy trying to join up Storm, but Storm refused clearly, kicking and rearing up and everything.

"What the frick is she doing out there!?" Ty shouted, as Jack looked up.

"I told her not to do anything with her." Jack said, as Ty rushed outside, Jack, Lucas, Amelia, Jacob, and Milly all following, Lucas and Amelia holding the two kids back when Ty jumped over the fence when Amy screamed, and Storm rearing up, almost hitting her, but that was until Ty moved infront of Amy, causing Storm to stumble slightly, and just catch his hoove on his arm, causing a small scratch to be made with it bleeding.

"Ty!" Amy screamed, as Ty didn't even move, he just put his hand up.

"Steady Boy, nobodys gonna hurt cha." Ty said, walking upto Storm and strocking his neck, looking at the rope what was on the floor, what Amy was useing to keep Storm running round the paddock. Storm looked at Ty, and nuzzled his neck, he picked up the rope, what Storm neighed at and reared up once again.

Ty chucked the rope all the way into the long grass beside the paddock, quite far away.

"Its gone." Ty mumbled, as he looked at Amy who was already out of the paddock and with Jack, as they all stared at Ty.

"What were you thinking." Ty said, when he jumped over the Paddock fence.

"Well, we had to do something! We have a possible wild horse in our Paddock, just standing there and not being healed like he's meant to be." Amy shouted, as Ty just shook his head, flinching slightly.

"He's not Wild. And, he certainly don't need to be healed!" Ty said sternly, as Storm neighed softly.

"Well, look what Mr. Secrets has to say." Amy said, as Ty seemed confused, "Dad's right. You are keeping something from us. I mean, this horse come and you suddenly actually go near that horse, but none others? What's going on with you, Ty."

Ty looked at the ground, searching for an answer.

"Thought so." Amy shouted, as Ty flinched, "Keeping secrets once again."

"Amy." Jack said, as Amy finally seemed to notice how Ty was looking off to the side, looking not pissed but sad.

"He's not Wild..." Ty mumbled, his voice cracking slightly, "Just please... he's just a horse! And, my best friend. He doesn't need healing, he just needs a little love."

Ty walked upto Storm, who instantly walked over, as Ty stroked his back, he looked at the lead rope what had been thrown over one of the fence pannels.

"Ty." Lucas mumbled, resting a hand onto his shoulder, "Why don't you show em?"

Ty only shook his head, before walking into the barn, where Storm neighed after him, rearing up he could only watch as his human best friend walked away from him.
