I was reading the manga and this came into my head

Al does have his body back though. Ed isn't giving up

Sorry...


It hurts...

Not even just in one place, everything hurts...

It's most painful in my right arm and left leg but everything hurts...

My mind is suffering worst to the point that I need to do something...

I almost want to end it myself, I almost want to die.

I can't bear it, I just can't take it.

I climb out of the bed.

I pick up a pen and pad off the desk and begin to write.

I silently walk out of the house, trying not to wake Winry or Pinnako. I don't want to make Winry cry again.

Once I silently close the front door, I start running towards the cliff at the edge of Resembool(I'm really sorry if I spelled that wrong)

I look over the horizon, and pull out the picture I keep in my pocket. Taken before we attempted transmutation.

Before the pain started.

"Al... I wish... I wish it didn't hurt, so I wouldn't do this... I'm so sorry... so sorry..."

I walk off the edge.

"I love you Al..." I whisper before I hit the ground.


One second I'm sleeping peacefully in my room. The next minute I'm awake and my eyes are inexplicably filled with tears.

Something's wrong, something's definitely wrong.

I climb out of my bed groggily, and open my door, looking for any sign of trouble.

Nothing out of the ordinary, but I know better than to ignore a gut feeling.

I sneak up the hall to Ed's room to warn him before I wake Winry or Pinnako.

I open the door slowly and quietly.

"Brother? Brother, I think something's wrong." I open the door.

He isn't in bed.

I frantically look around the room.

"Brother? Brother?!"

My eyes land on a piece of paper on his desk.

It's folded, and my name is written on the side.

I walk over and pick it up, I unfold it and read it slowly.

Al,

I know you'll probably be mad at me for this, but I couldn't take it.

Ever since we tried to bring Mom back it has hurt so much, but since we got your body back it has hurt more than ever.

I'm sorry for putting you through that.

You'll probably be better off without me getting you into trouble every five minutes.

Tell Winry and Pinnako I'm sorry.

I'm so sorry Al, I'm so sorry I did this, I feel horrible, but I couldn't take it anymore.

Please please Al, please please...

please forgive this, but you won't see me again.

You probably deserve to see her more... but I'm seeing Mom first.

I love you Brother.

Sorry I didn't say that more often.

Ed

"No..." I whisper, tears now making their way down my face.

Winry appears in the doorway.

"What's wrong Al?"


I'm so sorry! I'm so sorry for writing this!
