What always happens. Life.

- Summer Finn, 500 Days of Summer

Chapter 1

Ty walked home, it was frigid night out. He could feel the wind pressing against his back pushing him where he needed to go, the small fleece jacket he was wore was barely enough to keep him from freezing. His walk was fast, he needed to get to the subway stop before he got in trouble for being late again this week.

Sometimes Ty wished he was his sister Rocky, she was the talented one who was dancing on Shake-It Up Chicago (even if he had been the one who taught her how to dance), the one who was the golden child, the one who his parents preferred. They were different on so many levels, he loved her, but he couldn't help but think at times what it would be like if she was never there. Maybe then he would have been the golden child, the one his parents adored.

It was empty except for the few people getting home from work late. An old man sat by the doors, his chin against his chest with his hands stuffed in his pockets, eyelids were shut as he rested. In the corner was a young lady with a winter coat over her work apron, she sat with her hair tied up and clutching her purse as she stared out the window at the flashing cars. The only sounds made on the subway came from a man, just a bit older than Ty, listening to his music at a deafening volume. Everyone was seated, Ty preferred to stand, he wanted to keep the blood flowing before he had to he get off and head out into the cold night.

His stop was last, he stepped off onto the concrete platform, rubbing his hand together to keep warm before shoving them back into his jacket pockets. He turned to leave the station, but not before noticing Tinka sitting on a bench on the platform.

She was wearing her usual puffy, bright, multicolored neon jacket which showed, underneath, her purple dress which had green trim. Her hair was down, covering her face.

"Hey Tinka." Ty said walking over to her with a small smile on his face. She looked up at.

" Hi Ty." She said trying to hold something back. Her face was was wet and her eyes were red and puffy. Tinka held down tears trying not to show how upset she was, especially in front of Ty.

"Hey, what's wrong."

"Oh, it's nothing."

"You wouldn't be crying if it wasn't nothing." He sat down on the frozen bench. She sniffled.

"Really, it's not a big deal. Just forget about it" Ty gave her a look.

"Yes it is. Tinka, c'mon, you can trust me, we've known each other since first grade." He moved closer to her, looking into her watery, hazel eyes. She sighed, reluctant to tell him.

"Alright, I was supposed to be on a date with Wade but he stood me up." Tears rolled down her cheeks, becoming colder and colder. Tinka tried to wipe them away, hoping he would just ignore them. He put his arm around her as she moved closer and leaned her head on his shoulder, silently sobbing by now. They sat in the cold wind blowing against them.

"That guy was a jerk." Ty said quietly looking down at her. She looked up. "And he doesn't deserve anyone as amazing as you." Tinka sat up rubbing her eyes to look at him, he had her attention. "You have this great smile and this great hair, how could anyone not like that about you?" She just went back to laying her head on his shoulder and having his arm around her. They continued to sit there in silence on that cold November night.

After what seemed like a half-hour or so Tinka said "Will you walk me home?" She sat up, looking at him.

"Yeah, I will." a small smile appearing across his lips. They stood up and left.

So this is just a story I've had on my mind lately about Ty and Tinka. I will make it a full story if i get enough reviews from people so please R&R. All rights go to Disney, blah, blah, blah. Hopefully you enjoyed since this was my first Fanfiction.
