HeartLand: Ty's Past.

Chapter 14.

After a few hours of Ty avoiding Amy, the sun was setting, as he was leaning on the fences of the paddock, watching Storm as he neighed.

"Thought you might be out here." Ty sighed, as he heard Jacks voice, as said Man stood beside Ty, "You know, Amy didn't mean anything of what she said ealier. She would of never meant anything by those things she said."

"Yeah... I know." Ty muttered, as Storm seemed to sence Ty's depressive state, and walked on over, nuzzleing his neck.

"Hey, could you try something?" Jack asked, as Ty looked at him, confused.

After a moment, Ty stood in the Paddock, with Jack watching him. As Ty sighed, and looked at the rope in his hand, Storm neighed.

"Amy has been struggleing to put a lead rope on him. Why don't you give it a go." Jack said, as Ty sighed and slowly walked towards Storm, but he didn't move, so Ty slowly pulled the head color on Storm's head, and slowly started buckleing it.

Ty looked at Storm and smiled, that he hadn't noticed Amy, Tim, Lou, Lucas, Amelia, Jacob, and Milly all there watching in awe, except Amelia, Lucas, Milly, and Jacob.

"Hey Ty, think its a good idea for Storm to be in one of the stables for the night? I heard it was going to rain tonight." Jack said, as Ty nodded, and grabbed the lead rope and clipped it onto the head colour, "You put this bad boy in the stables then."

Jack then walked over to Amy, and started telling he that she should of never acted out like that to Ty. Ty opened the gate, as he walked out of the Paddock, looking at Storm who stpped out and looked around.

"Nothing to be afraid of." Ty whispered softly, before walking into the barn, but Storm followed, looking into the barn and greating Spartain when he walked past. Ty pulled Storm into an stable and then took the head color off.

"I'll see you in the morning, alright Bud?" Ty whispered, patting Storm's neck who then once Ty walked away, wlaked to the side of the fence where Spartain was, since his stable was beside Spartain's.

"Hey Ty, come sit." Lou said, once Ty entered the kitchen. Ty nodded and sat down beside Lucas, and Milly, while Amelia sat opposite Lucas, with Jacob opposite Ty. Then, Lou sitting beside Tim, who was at the head, meaning Lou was on the other side of Jacob, then Amy beside Tim.

"Yummy." Milly said, once she took a bit of her mash, Ty doing the same, as he then took a sip of his water.

All of a sudden the phone in the kitchen blared. As, they all wondered why for just one dinner the phone didn't go off. Jack got up to go answer it, and after a few minutes walked into the kitchen.

"Amy, it's Mr. Broomhall." Jack whispered, as Amy stood up, looking at Ty before walking into the kitchen.

Ty looked up, watching Amy on the phone.

"Hey." Lucas whispered, "Everything okay?"

"Peachy." Ty grumbled, before taking another bit of his food.

"Uncle T?" Milly asked, as Ty looked to her, and hummed, "Tommorow, are you going to ride?"

Ty quickly shushed her, and looked around the table, makeing sure nobody heard before sighing in relief. And, bent down to whisper into her ear.

"Nobody knows." Ty whispered, as Milly just gave him a questionable look.

"Nobody knows what, Ty?" Tim spoke up, as Ty cursed quitly under his breath.

"Nothing." Ty muttered, as Lucas just glared at Tim when he was about to question Ty further, but Ty grabbed his wrist, from stopping him from starting a fight with Tim. As, Amy walked back into the room.

Amy sat down in her seat, as Ty looked at her almost wanting to question her about what Mr. Broomhall said, as so did, Lucas, Amelia, and Jack.

"What did Mr. Broomhall say?" Jack spoke up.

"In half a week, he's comeing for him." Amy said, as Ty felt his heart drop. he had already lost Storm twice, he couldn't do it a third time. He would literally kill his self, "But, we made no progress."

Ty looked down at his dish, before standing.

"I'm turning in for the night." Ty said, before exiting the room, Lucas sighing as he shared the same glance with Amelia.

"Okay, you two." Tim said, looking at Amelia and Lucas, "What are you and Ty hiding? Because, it is obvious he is hiding something, and you two, including those two little kids knows what it is."

"Uncle T, isn't hiding anything." Milly suddenly shouted, as everybody turned to her, "Uncle T, never keep ssecrets unless he doesn't know what to do."

"Calm down Milly." Lucas whispered, "Go check on him."

Milly then huffed and walked out of the kitchen, leaving one last glare to TIm.

Lucas looked at Tim.

"Why do you dislike Ty so much?" Lucas asked, as Amelia stood up with Jacob and moved over to Lucas, "What has he ever done to you? You don't know anything about his life. So, why don't you get to know him before jumping to conclusions, thinking he is a trouble maker, because Ty is not a trouble maker."

Lucas picked up Jacob and walked out of the kitchen, with Amelia following, but before she left she let Jacob and Lucas go further away, before turning back to the table.

"And, just to give you something to think about... Ty is the key to Storm acting this way." Amelia said, just before exiting the house, and into the Barn. She jogged over to the Barn stairs, and stopped just outside of Ty's bedroom door, where Lucas also stood, with Jacob in his arms, peaking through the gap in the door so she also looked.

Ty was sat on his bed, with Milly sat beside him, hugging him.

"Uncle T... why does that Guy so mean?" Milly asked softly. As Ty just shook his head, chuckling softly.

"I don't know Mills..." Ty said.

"Well, I wish he would just leave you alone! I will beat that nonsense out of him." Milly said, throwing fake punched, as Ty just chuckled and wrapped an arm round her.

"You're a smart girl, Mills. But, please... since it appears you are staying here a little longer I expect you to stay out of my buisness okay?" Ty asked softly, as Milly just looked upto him.

"But Uncle T... we share everything!" Milly said.

"I know... it's just that times have changed now. I haven't see you since you were 4. And, now somethings just don't stay the same, okay? That's why you never get close to somebody who could hurt you." Ty explained, sighing.

Milly looked off to the side, with her knees pulled upto her chest.

"Do you think Jacob will be okay..? If times change and everything..." Milly said, trailling off.

"Mills... I am sure he will be okay. After all, he does have his big sis with him all the way! And, just because I said times change and somethings are diffrent, does that mean I changed with you're Mommy and Daddy? No. Because, they are my best friends, and I grew up with them." Ty said, "Now, come on. You should get some rest for the night."

"Okay. Love you." Milly said, kissing Ty's cheek before jumping over to her bed and lying down.

"Love you to, Sweatheart." Ty whispered softly, whle kissing Milly's cheek and sitting back in his own bed, looking over to the window, he lied back down in his bed, and yawned. He slowly closed his eyes and fell into a restless sleep.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the door, Lucas and Amelia looked to each other before quitely walking into the room and setting Jacob in bed, since he had already fell asleep, as the two adults sat down in there bed and looked at Ty one last time, before lying back and fell asleep.
