Before I begin, I would like to state that English isn't my first language, so please be kind. I'm fluent when it comes to speaking but when it comes to the writing part I am not as good. This story is sorta practice for the writing and grammar part, so ... Enjoy!
"Dammit!" Edy yelled, her scream echoed down the alley way, "if he died on me, I'm, Imma kill him." But even though this didn't make sense Winry didn't correct her.
Edy slumped against the wet wall and sighed. She was on the verge of crying, it was easy to tell, her face was an open book at the moment. Her eyes blood shot with puffy eyelids, but the worst part was that her face was pale with big brown bags drooping below her brown orbs. On the outside Edy looked terrible, but on the inside she was worst, beating herself up for letting Al run away. Al was the only real family she had left, Winry was like family as well but they aren't related in blood, so to Edy it meant nothing. Edy stayed quiet for a while, which was very rare for her to do. The silence between the two girls started to make the younger (Winry) girl feel frantic.
"Winry!" Edy yelled hoarsely, her eyes met with the other teenager. Winry was shocked because of Edy's outburst, she tried to reply back but with all that effort she barely even said a single word, "yeah?"
"The human kind cannot gain anything without first giving something in return. To obtain, something of equal value must be lost. That is alchemy's first law of Equivalent Exchange. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth," Edy whispered, Winry stared back at the shorter girl speechless "today's the day where I actually fully lost Al. But what do I get in exchanged? Huh? A million dollars? Did I get my arm back or my leg? I know I deserved this, but he freaking didn't, he doesn't deserve a sister like me."
Edy risen her flesh hand and tapped her foot as she felt the wet grey rain drops. The tapping of the foot was the beat her mother used to sing to her and Al when it was rain, the rain had always made Al feel sad but the opposite for Edy, she loved it. Well she loved the wet cool water running down on her flesh, making her feel re-fresh.
"The rain, cries for the moon. The moon cries for those who died. The people who lie, the people who are true. They both know the pain, they both know the sadness inside. The feelings you feel when you try. But fail. But you cry to feel the sadness to escape. To escape through the tears, through a slow and painful way. La la la, I cry for you. I'll let the stars guide you, but I'll be there for you. La la la I'll try for ... La la la I'll cry for you," Edy sung as she broke into tears, Winry stared at the other girl. She had listened to the songs on numerous occasions but this was the first time it ever meant something to her and Edy. Edy began to shuffle towards Winry. Edy rested her head on the younger girl's shoulder, Winry dropped her umbrella and embraced Edy.
"It's alright, we will find him and we will sort all this mess out," Winry reassured the older girl. Edy slowly stopped sobbing but the other tears remained on her skin, the hot sweet tears mingled with the cool rain drops.
"But there is something I have wanted to ask, but, but I'm afraid," the other girl whispered, trying to confess about everything. Edy wanted to know if Al hated her, she had to know. The truth was the thing that made her scared. Scared to ask if he wouldn't forgive her. If she asked then maybe he'll believe that he did actually exist. Something happened and she was desperate to know. A little to desperate.
"Your wrong about one thing," Winry whispered, Edy jerked her head up, "you sacrificed your childhood, leg, arm and freedom for him. You are an amazing person, you feel more pain the anyone and your a dog of the military. All of this for him, your amazing. I wouldn't be able to do anything to help."
