She Screams in Silence

Chapter 2

" Bye Winry…Thanks again."

"Ed…no…"

"I have to, Winry."

"Why Ed? Why? Don't go…" She could feel her eyes hot with tears.

There was a pregnant pause. "Just wait for me, ok?"

"Ed! Please don't leave me again…"

Winry's eyes shot open. It was dark and she was lying down. She didn't remember going to her room. She tried propping herself up on her arms but to no avail. She felt exhausted and heavy. It took all of her energy to force her stiff, tired neck to turn her head to the side and look at the door that was cracked. The light coming through hurt her tired eyes so she squinted.

Considering the lighting, she couldn't see much. There was a chair near her bed. This surprised her but she was too weary to wonder any more about it. She closed her eyes for more sleep but someone came in the room, flooding it with light.

"Uhhhh….." was all that Winry could let out. She squinted against the new intrusion of light.

The person's footsteps came closer to the bed. They were uneven with a limp. The limping foot sounded like there was a bag of nickels strapped to their foot.

"Winry?" the person said. She felt the caress of metal on her cheek. She inhaled sharply at the contrast on her warm skin. Her senses flooded with a familiar scent.

"Ed…" She tried call out to him as her eyelids fluttered. All that came out was a whisper. She let her eyes close from exhaustion and drifted into her troubled dreams again.

Ed watched her as her eyes fluttered open then close. She must have been in a really deep sleep still. He removed her hand and sat in the chair he had put beside her bed. He put his head in his hands.

Sleeping in the chair had left him with a stiff neck and under rested. He lifted his head and look at Winry's sleeping body. He got up and went to the other side of the bed and took off his boots. When he laid in the bed, turned his back to her and sighed. If only she knew how he felt. If only her had the words to tell her.

Author's note: Thanks to all have watched my story! School just started today so i hope to keep pumping out the story! .

On a more serious note: i would really appreciate it if no one would leave flames. If you hate the story, you don't have to read it. No one is forcing you to read it, so don't. It really hurts an author's feelings and makes them doubt themesleves.

Chapter 3 should come soon. I will get it out before i get swamped with icky homework.

Thanks
