Chapter 2
MOTHER
My drink returned, i saw the bubbles raise to the top, it was barely poured and i liked it like that, Jean waited, not asking for my food request. I looked up at him, those eyes of hate, i gave the most common thing that came to mind. "Burger and Fries", He simply nods and walked off suddenly i heard my name "Edward", i sat up from slouching and turned my head, I saw Alphonse and Rose walk up aside the table "May we?" he simply said, Riza i could stand but Alphonse, He seemed like the sensitive type and Rose, Rose was well okay "Go ahead" i hoped my happy sarcasm didn't show. "We were looking for a tuxedo and dress", I looked up from rudely slurping from my straw. "Tuxedo?..Dress?" Rose looked up at me, her brown eyes so innocent, "Al asked me to the Spring Dance" "Yep, i asked her while she was free" Alphonse confidence was annoying to me "Yeah, i ordered a 6'1 height tuxedo, it was rent one get the other half off, want me to get one for you Ed?..what are you 4'1 or 5'1?" My eyes widen, i blew back into the straw, sending orange drink everywhere, my face turned red with anger and i simply blacked out, i smacked Alphonse across the face "ARE YOU CALLING ME A HALF-PINT BEAN-SPROUT MIDGET?!" I returned to myself, i calmed down and Al picked himself up off the ground, he had a nose bleed "Um, Sorry?" I ignored his apology "Ed, why don't you go to the dance?" Rose asked, trying to break what just happened, but she brought up the question. "Like i said i can't because of..my mother's funeral?" i almost lost my excuse, i signed in relief "Can't you go on Sunday to say Happy Birthday?" Alphonse said, wiping the blood off. "She's my mother and besides they said it's going to rain on Saturday, so i need to go on that day" My voice dimmed, i looked down "What's rain gotta do with anything?" Alphonse replied. I didn't reply, i drifted off, off to that day
-2 Years Earlier-
I stood their, picking fresh apples off the tree i grew far from our house, alittle passed the train tracks and passed the cemetery, I grew it in a large field far from existence. "EDWARD!..EDWARD!" my name filled the air, i turned around and picked my basket of apple and ran off, there he stood, Dark hair, clear glasses and a 5 o'clock shadow, Maes Hughes. Our toward Doctor, I walked up to him, he's face was serious, he wasn't he's joking self today, i walked up, out of breath "Yeah, what is it?" "I think you should come to me" those words made it sound like they would stick to me forever, starting a sentence like that was mean and terrible, they would walk their he never finished what he was going to tell me, i dare not to ask but my curiosity was somewhat high. Outside my house stood our neighbors, the ones i knew and the other my mother knew. I pushed through the crowd to see my mother in her bed, white as a ghost, only her green eyes stood out. He walked up to her, she'd been in an accident, a white blanket covered her, keeping her warm. She looked at me, he eyebrows raised with happiness, the only way she could show it. I grabbed her hand "Mother..." "Edward..I'm so glad you here" Her voice weak and tired, she had just been resting "Edward, He..i collected all the money..he use to send us" She was talking about my father, Hohenheim, as much as i hated my father, i knew if my mother would pass, he'd be the only one in my life. "I never touched it, i was saving it for you, my son" she say the fear and sadness in my face, tears wanted to form but i wasn't use to crying. "Don't be silly, We'll use it together" i couldn't finish the sentence without my voice cracking from the sadness in growing inside me. "Edward, would you be a sweetheart and transmute something for you mother" These words came to me seconds later, as much as i wanted to, i couldn't i was still new to the world of alchemy and could only transmute dolls "A ring of flowers sound nice..you see your father..always..you to make them for me" her eyes faded and she drifted off in front of me, She watched as i was born and i watched as she died, what a cruel world we live in. I couldn't move, her tight grip on my hand slowly became weak, i let go and stood up, in pure shock i ran off, i ran away from it all, tears run onto my father, flying off me into the wind, i couldn't stay it, my mother...was gone, those words crossed my mind again. My mother..was gone"
-Present-
I looked up, knowing that terrible memory would haunt me forever, i looked up at Rose and Alphonse eating from my plate, Jean was just walking off from delivering it "Hey, mooches i have to pay for this" i pulled the plate toward me, ending their eating spree, minutes passed as we ate breakfast together, i paid for our breakfast, Alphonse and Rose were overly grateful, The Spring Dance was 2 hours and 30 minutes away, Al wanted to hang around in case i didn't go, so i took him where i promised myself i wouldn't take anyone else, I decided to take them to..The spot
