The sun was bright and some time had passed, Ed and I were completely healed and the three of us were planning to head off to Central soon. My grandmother was not too thrilled about my going off, but she understood. She told me, "Look at you Summer, you have tied yourself to those boys' fate now. Just when I thought you couldn't get any closer.". Yeah she was not too pleased with me.
I was sitting on top of the roof looking around at the green rolling hills and my gaze fell on the spot where the house was. Edward and Al had planned on burning it down tonight before we left, I was a bit sad but I couldn't say anything. My legs were crossed as I perched on the roof, the metal was uncomfortable against my leg and dug into the flesh. My hands were cool against the skin on my leg. One metal, one flesh.
While I was lost in examining the foreign limbs someone had come outside and slammed the door, causing me to jump. Looking down I caught the glint off that golden hair of Ed's, his head swiveled around looking for something. Quietly I got up and lunged off the roof at Edward. He turned around to see me falling at him and before he could doge or react I had crashed into him, sending us onto a heap on the ground. I smiled wide at his angry face, I started to say something, but quickly shut my mouth, hoping Ed hadn't noticed. I stood and reached a hand out to help Ed up, he huffed at me and got up on his own. He looked at me and I wrinkled my nose at him.
"Come on Summer, we can't go getting weak. We shouldn't let Al get the advantage." he scratched the back of his head nervously, he seemed sad.
I glared at him, oh if I could speak I would chew you out so bad right now. You're acting so pathetic! I screamed in my head, this was so frustrating. He always had to blame himself.
I lunged at him, punching him in the face. He looked up at me a bit shocked, but quickly recovered and swung his legs to kick them out from under me. I reacted just quickly enough to jump up then stumble on the landing. "You're on." He smiled.
After some time, Ed and I were panting and laying in the cool grass, our arms stretched out. We were just far enough away our finger tips did not touch. Al came out and sat down where the two were laying, I jumped up and curled up in Al's lap, pressing my flushed face to his cool armor. Al patted my back and I smiled up at him, Al you're so awesome! Now you can protect me so I can be lazy. Al shook his head, "Summer you still need to protect yourself just in case." I pouted and shrug my shoulders. He was right but I was hoping to make him feel more comfortable in the armor.
Ed sighed. "It's not fair, how come you can talk to him and not me." I shrugged again, how the hell was I suppose to know. I think he was talking to himself now that I looked at him but I couldn't be sure.
