Her legs shook at the new pressure and she braced herself for a fall. She held on to Tyler's good arm and smiled up at him.

Tyler smiled at her. "See? Perfect. Now let's rest a little so you can do it more later." He teased slightly, helping her back to her chair. Tyler made sure she didn't fall into it, setting her down gently, then stood back up and took a shallow breath. "Wow, that was magnificent! By the end of the week I'll have you running marathons." He joked... then looked at his phone. "Never mind, its Saturday. By the end of next week I'll have you running marathons!" Tyler shook his head sadly. "Nope it was ruined." A smile stayed on his face, though. "I just wanted to let you know you are doing amazing and to keep up the good work. I was kidding about the marathons... but by the end of next week I'm sure you will be walking all by yourself." Tyler smiled softly, his black eyes twinkling in the low Stable light

She smiled at him and reached up with her arms. "And by the time I'm walking, you'll be working out those muscles enough that you won't hurt. Cause I can't get out of the chair myself. Can I have another hug?" She pushed herself up on the chair so she wouldn't be so heavy to pick up.

Tyler snorted, but he couldn't hold back a chuckle. He hugged her with his good arm, wincing slightly as it put pressure in his chest. After he had set her back down, Tyler glanced out the barn door and watched the foals play for a minute. "You.. have some fun. I got to go take care of something." He smiled at her and limped away... quite fast, towards his cabin. Tyler disappeared inside and collapsed on the bed with a groan. Every muscle in his darn body hurt... and it was not fun. His ribs were the worst though... at the moment it felt like they were screaming out agony... he took a shuddering breath and just rested for a moment. Then another moment. Then another moment.

she smiled back and wheeled around the barn. she gor bored rather quickly and decided to wheel over to the fence where she could pull herfelf up. she went behind the barn to where a groom had tied Titan for a bath. she waved at him and continued until she was in her favorite spot, the hay corner. she managed to sneak behind a round bale and locked the wheels on her chair. she pushed up with her arms and grasped the hat strings. she knew no one knew this spot was here, so she was safe to suffer in peace. she pushed herself high enough to catch a glimpse of wet Titan before her arms gave out and she fell uncomfortably back into the chair. she sighed and tried again until her arms throbbed. she accidentally fell asleep in the shade of the barn and in the wall of hay

Tyler took yet another shallow breath before heaving himself up. He heart, yes. It sucked, yes. But he had to stay strong for Abby... not sneak off to his cabin to scream in agonizing pain. He limped outside quickly and glanced around, wondering where she was. Everything was silent, even the horses were quiet. He started getting worried and hurried faster, his ribs throbbing. "Abby?" He called, checking the barn and not finding her. Panic started to fill him, making it hard to breath. "Abby!?" Tyler yelled, listening for an answer

Abby was passed out still even when the groom from earlier went to Tyler. "she went that way, sir." he said as he pointed around the other side of the barn then went back to Titan. Abby was laying her head on her arms which were leaning against the hay in an uncomfortable position. it worked as a nice enough place for someone who couldn't sleep at night from nightmares of the crash. she was back in the truck when the car slammed into them. she heard a male voice -she couldn't tell if it was real or not- yelling her name as she heard the crack of bones. she looked over and blood ran from a guy's mouth. suddenly she woke up and screamed. her head shot up, her eyes wide as she panted.

Tyler pretty much sprinted back through the barn, his whole body one fiery pit of pain. He screeched to a stop when he saw Abby, and he started forward to wake her when she screamed. Tyler jumped back in surprise... and fright, crashing into the barn behind him. He could almost hear a crack... and his ribs exploded in agony. He gasped, looking at her with wide eyes. "Abby.. are you.. okay?" He croaked out, looking down to make sure none of his ribs came out his chest... because that's what it felt like. He stepped away from the barn, wobbled, and almost fell over but stumbled backwards in time to let the barn catch him.

Abby's eyes were wide and she was scared. she had seen thet nightmare too many times to count and everytime it got to her. she didn't see Tyler until he was against the barn again. she unlocked the wheels and moved over to him. "Tyler..." what are you doing here? are you alright?" she softly touched his side as she examined him.

"I was looking for you-" Tyler got cut short as a yelp escaped from his mouth when she touched him. "I'm fine I mean fine, yep perfectly fine." He was practically clutching the wall to try to not fall over. "Well... I found you." He said meekly, hoping she didn't notice he was hurt.... but knowing she would.
