Summary- Chapter 2: Healing
Some time has passed and I now realize that I may not be quite as alone as I thought. I still hurt, I'm afraid the ache will never go away. I do know that even though my father is gone I can move on. Mr. Mustang, even with him in the military, is still there for me. I can move on. I know now what I must do.
I gave Mr. Mustang the secrets and even after he deciphered it all, he still calls me and writes me letters. I know that even though he is far away he is still in my heart. The same could be said about my father; even though he is now dead I still have my memories to keep me going. They may not all be good, but I can remember the good times, back before momma died. He use to smile and laugh and play with me. He use to be a good father, back before is research consumed him. That is now what I choose to remember, of course the knowledge of what has happened is still with me, but it no longer consumes me as it did him.
I have decided that I will devote my life to another. I will protect him however I can. I know that it will be hard, but I will persevere. I can not sit back and let my life go by, just because my father's is over. He lived his life how he chose, and now so will I. I will join the military. With my aim I'm sure to get in. I will fight for Mr. Mustang and do everything in my power to see his dream come true. I will use my gun, my very body if necessary, to see that future.
Father, this is what I choose, you may not approve, but I will do with my life what I see fit.
A/N: Okay so this is as short as the last chapter, but you can totally ignore it if you want. I am using this as therapy to help me deal with my own loss. So love it or hate it I don't really care. I just needed to get this out of my system, and will probably be deleting the whole thing before to much longer.
