The Forgotten
Chapter Four: Simply Teasing
So, I own an off-roading course, when they have stated I hate four-wheelers.
I've been out of a coma for awhile now, and I really just want to know whats in that damn filing cabinet.
Really.
In the computer room, next to the computer desk there is a small black filing cabinet...and I can't seem to find the key anywhere.
"Winry!!" I shout through the house.
"What?" She yells back.
"Come here please." I roll my eyes.
When one person shouts another persons name, instinct should be to come hither, not object.
"Yeah Ed?" She asks, her head turns the corner.
"Whats in there?" I ask as I point the shiny cabinet.
"Just paperwork, you know, documents and such." She states, so calmly.
To calmly?
"Like what documents?" I begin to get curious, and she senses this emotion.
"Birth certificates, household bills....the usual."
"I don't know what the usual is, I forgot." I reply.
"I'll have to find the key later, I'm working." She walks away.
This is my damn house, and everyone is tip toeing around me.
Why?
Because they want to form me into what they wish I was. I can sense, I was far from perfect, and I hate it.
But how far was I?
Corrupt?
Evil?
Greedy?
Murderous?
Now that was taking it to the max.
And what does Winry have to work on?
I walk through the home, and find her working at a cherry chocolate computer desk in the living room.
"What are you working on?" I ask. Creeping up behind her, almost as if I was going to end her life right here and now.
"Roy asked me to go over the books for the business, he's covering another shift for you at the video store." She replies.
"I think I can go back to work now." I state.
"Are you sure you are ready, I mean they are going to start you right back out at management." Winry informs me.
"I'll call the video store and talk to them about it, why didn't they just terminate my position though?" I asked in return.
"That's kind of against the law." Winry smiles at me.
Shes hiding something.
I have urges, just like every person. So I'm gonna get it out of her, one way.
Or the other.
I kiss her, square on the lips. And I let instinct take over and put my tongue in her mouth.
"Why won't you tell me what happened?" I decided to ask finally.
She sighed, she knew it was trick.
Now that was terrible of me.
"Because its better that way." She sighed again.
"Why, don't I have the right to know where I left off?" I begged.
"You do, but a lot of terrible things happened, and we all just love you." She choked.
"Does my dream have any relevance at all to that day?" I retaliated.
"Not really, that's what we all talked about last night, it just doesn't make any sense." Winry answered.
So now I'm back to square one, I know I own a four-wheeling course, but my dream really has not ties to what happened.
This is bullshit, my mind is playing tricks on me.
Simply teasing.
Al walks in the front door, tossing a school bag over his shoulder and onto the island in the kitchen.
"I drove your Mustang today, you don't mind right?" He informs me, yet asking at the same time.
Little ones can be so adorable at times, working around things when they know they've done wrong.
But I am trying to win over everyone's affection once more.
"Your one the insurance right?" I ask.
"Well yeah, my car had to get new tires and an oil change." He replies.
"Then why would I care, I don't know how to drive it, as a matter of fact, want to teach me?" I smile.
Ah, a little brother time would be most relaxing.
"Sure, I'm off tomorrow." He returns the statement.
Al flaps some mail down on the island next to his bag, and there is a letter addressed to me from the school.
They apologized for the accident and congratulated me on my return to school but are sorry to inform me I won't graduate on time.
Bullshit.
Simply teasing.
So today is a medium day, I decided I like my brother.
That sure is a plus. Eh?
"So what kind of car do you drive Al?" I decided to make conversation.
"Right before the accident you bought me a Charger." He smiled, "And I never got to thank you for it."
"A Charger Eh? No problem." I smile down at him and give him a brotherly embrace.
Maybe forgetting wasn't so bad, but it sure is irritating I decided. And I wont stop, but strive, to remember what I did, and who I was.
After all, its my right as a person, and I'm sure their intentions are all but cruel into hiding it from me.
Winry walks down the hallway crying.
Shes holding a picture.
Me and Al's moment of recollection is ruined with old photos.
"Are you going to?" Al ask Winry.
"I think so." She replies through tears.
She takes me down the hallway to that very cabinet I was so curious about.
We had a daughter.
And through a river of tears I run my fingers over the fine ink that says her name on her birth certificate, so mirrored to the death certificate.
"She died." Winry whines into my shoulder.
"Was it because of me?" I ask.
"Of course not, she was sick." She informs me.
She kisses down my neck, "I want another baby." Shes still crying.
But thats not the same.
Simply teasing.
So what else are they hiding?
More pain? Giving me my life back piece by piece, pondering on what to tell me.
And what to not.
She wants more.
More created life.
Life that came from me.
Would a new baby be the same.
What was my child like, Lila she speaks.
Simply teasing.
Authors Note: After such a long absence I'm still very unsure if this was a proper return and I'm still unsure where to take this story. I need some ideas folks, got any?
R&R!
