A Touch To Much
Ch. 2
The Secret of the Mysterious Girl
Everyone sat at a table. Roy and Maes sat next to each other, and Riza sat in front of Roy, and Jean sat next to her. Sister Mary was saying a blessing. "Amen." she said. Roy mumbled something under his breath, trust me it wasn't amen. They all started to eat. The girl that sat next to Jean giggled every time Roy would say something. Everyone eat silently. Riza didn't eat much. "Okay, everyone is excused to go to their rooms, you have two hours tell lights out." Sister Mary said. Everyone stud up and tanked Sister Mary for the food. Everyone got up and left. Roy, Maes, Jean, and Riza walked up the stair case. "Excuse me?" a girl said walking up to Roy, she had a huge blush on her face.
"Yeah?" Roy asked turning around to look at her. "Uh... Mustang-kun would you mind being my boyfriend?" she asked. "I'm sorry. I don't even know you. And your sweet and all but there is someone else I like." Roy said, bluntly. The girl started to cry as they made there we up the stairs. "See I try to be nice and lay it down easy but still, they cry." Roy said shutting the door. "Well maybe you should have given her a chance she seemed like a sweet girl." Riza said, she stopped her self and looked down. "I'm sorry." she said locking her eyes on her feet. "I'm taking a shower." Roy said, walking into the bathroom.
Riza sat down on her bed. "Is he mad at me?" she asked looking up at Jean and Maes. She was on the brink of tears. "No he's not mad." Jean said taking his shirt. "That's Roy, you'll get used to it, he mostly keeps to him self it's rare for him to tell anyone anything." Maes said looking at the bathroom door, he turned back and looked at Riza. "He just keeps his thoughts locked up. What he needs is someone that would understand. He doesn't trust me or Jean. Because he thinks well say something." Maes said with a smile. "Oh." Riza said. Jean climbed up on his bed, that was right above Riza's. He had changed into his pajamas we'll Riza and Maes had talked. Roy walked out of the bathroom, in red pants and a red shirt, still drying his hair with his red towel.
"I'm going to take a shower." Riza said, walking into the bathroom. "You should really say you're sorry." Maes said changing into his blue pajamas. "Whatever." Roy said. "Lights out!" Sister Mary called from the hallway. Maes climbed up and got in his bed. "Night Roy." Maes said turning on his side. "Night." Roy said, sitting down on the couch that sat against the window. "Don't stay up to late." Maes said. Roy smiled lightly and lit a candle. He put is towel in front of te crack that was between the floor and the door, so now light could get through. (A/N little trick I learned). Roy pulled a small book out from under the pillow that was on the couch. He opened the window so some of the winter air could get in.
The name of the book was 'Basic Alchemy'. He sat and read. Riza walked out of the bathroom, she walked around slowly, putting things away. She smiled and pulled a small book out from under her cloths. She sat down on the couch and started to read. She looked out the window and smiled faintly. "So." Roy's voice broke the silence. Her eyes widened from surprise. "I'm sorry if I bothered you." Riza said quickly with a small bow. "It's okay. You don't have to say your sorry, I'm sorry for giving you the cold shoulder like that." Roy said. "Oh know, it was my fault I shouldn't have said anything." Riza said.
They stopped talking. "What happened?" Roy asked. "What do you mean?" Riza asked. "Why did you have to come to the home?" Roy asked. "I'd rather not talk about it." Riza said looking down at her book. "I'll tell you my story if you tell me what happened to you." Roy said. "Okay." Riza said. "Well I was on my way home from school, father had left about a week ago to go to Central for work, he's in the military. When I got home, there where to men talking to mother." Riza said.
Riza walked up the steeps to a blue house. Her hair up in two pig tails, she was wearing a blue sailor uniform, from her school. She opened the front door. "I'm home momma." she cheered happily. Two men sat at the kitchen table talking to her mother. "Bunny why don't you go up to your room." her mother said sweetly. "Okay momma." Riza said, and started to skip up the stairs. About half way up the stairs there was a loud clicking noise. It was fermiler to Riza, ut by the time she remembered what it was from it was to late. There where to gun shots that rang through out the house.
Riza's eyes widened and she turned around. One of the men had gun pointed at her. She was about to cry. "Go pack your stuff. You're going to a funeral." he said. "Yes sir." Riza said quickly and turned and ran up the stairs with tears in her eyes. Riza stopped talking and hiccupped a couple times. Maes and Jean laid awake in their beds. Roy hugged Riza lightly and let her cry on him. "What happened to you?" Riza asked looking at him. "The military came to see my father. Me, my sister, and mom where in the kitchen closet, getting food for dinner. And we'll there was gun shot. My mom told us to stay there, she went out and screamed. The next thing I knew was that one of the men had my little sister. I remember was running to help her, and then everything went black." Roy said.
"When he woke up he was in the hospital 2 gun shots, one to the stomach and another in the arm." Maes said sitting up. "The same thing was happing at my house, but I was out side. When mom screamed and I herd a gun shot, I ran to Roy's house. His parents where gone and he was almost dead. I called for help." Maes said. "That's horrible, how would the state do that to three families." Riza said. "Four... if you include Jean, Sister Mary probubly put you with us, because she thought you would get along better with us." Maes said. "Yeah I wake up and see Maes over me." Roy said. "Well I thought you needed mouth to mouth." Maes said. "If you would have done that to me you would have been done." Roy said.
They all laughed. "Get to sleep." Sister Mary said from the door way. Riza got up and sat down in her bed. Roy sighed and stuffed his book under the pillow. Maes laid back down, and rolled over. Roy blew out the candle and sat down in his bed. "Night Riza." Roy said. "Night Roy." Riza said laying down. I wonder what happened to Jean. Riza thought. She closed her eyes and fell asleep.
A/N Time.
-sigh- I hate nuns. I was surprised I got done with this so quick. I guess when it's a real life experience it doesn't take so long. Well I got to go get ready for class. Later.
