I Made Him a Promise
Chapter - 11
By: Mike Hurley

I'm sorry!!  I'm sorry!!  I'm sorry!!
I tried to outrun them, Grandpa!!  I did!
I'm so sorry!!  I should have listened to you, and not taken the bus, cause now Ty is hurt again.
But they were faster & that guy laying on top of me was the creepiest & most disgusting thing I've ever experienced!
But then Ty was there protecting me!!
He beat them both up, Grandpa!!
He's in the hospital recovering from multiple surgeries.  If he moves wrong I can see the pain in his eyes.  He beat them up Grandpa to rescue me!!  Oh God!!  I'm dating Super Man Grandpa!!
But how did Ty know I was in trouble, Grandpa??
There was no one around me to call for help!!
No one!!  I was all alone!!
If Ty had come a minute later Grandpa.....
oh God, it would have been bad for me.
But how did Ty know Grandpa??
It doesn't make sense!! His window is on the other side of the hospital!

Amy, I've seen things happen in my life I have no explanation for.  But someone was with me every time!!

You mean like an angel??

I think that's what I mean Amy.  An angel or someone who was with an angel.  I read a book about angels shortly after Lyndy passed & it said angels can appear as animals. Like an elephant walking down the street might be an angel & we'd never know......
Or they can look like a person too.

Well, I never saw an elephant, tiger, horse, or anybody.
It's just weird Grandpa that Ty just knew I needed help.

How is Ty??

They're looking at him now.  They asked me to leave his room in Emergency.

Is Ty conscious??

They gave him a sedative.  He was.......he was still fighting those men even after the police took them away.  Ty was calling to me grandpa & I was right there looking at him.
I was talking to him but he didn't know I was there!!

Amy don't cry!!  Honey everything's going to be ok.  Your Ty is an amazing young man.
He loves you Amy!! 

Grandpa I'm scared!  

It's ok Amy!!  It's ok.  I'm going to come down there!!

No grandpa it's too late!!
I don't want you getting into an accident & it's pouring rain again.
I'll be there in an hour Amy..... you sit tight.

No!!  Grandpa No!!  Listen to me!!
You go to bed and you come in the morning!!
Do you understand!!  Grandpa!!
Driving in the dark & in the rain freaks me out Grandpa!!

Ok Amy, but you call me the minute you have news!!  I think of that young man like he's my son!!

I know you do Grandpa!! 
And I love you!!

Amy.......

Yes Grandpa......

The day you were born.........

Yes grandpa??

I'm not good at saying this kind of stuff Amy.

It's ok Grandpa!!  I know........and I love you too!!.....and that's all that matters.
Ok??

Ok honey!!

Mr Borden, I'm Dr O'Connor........ can you hear me??

Amy!!

No, I'm not Amy, I'm a doctor here to examine your incisions. We're concerned you tore internal stitches!!  I need to press on your abdomen & you tell me if you feel pain......ok.
