Disclaimer: I do not own Full Metal Alchemist or anything. I wish I did because I would be extremely happy!

I have finally relized that Death Note is a really good show and I think if you haven't seen/read it, you really should. I am like, oh yes. Hee hee. I think Light is pretty hot, and so it Mikami, but that might just be me.

But anyways, I give my biggest thanks to everyone that sent me ideas for this chapter. I am so sorry that it took soooo long to post. I had one of the most biggest brian freezes followed by a melt down on the face of the Earth. I tired to make this chapter as long as I can. I'm sorry that it isn't as long as you all wanted it to be. Hopefully they will get a lot longer.

I also was getting very mad because my school happens to be under the Staph infection and everyone is freaking out about it, and it is driving me mad with how many people are freaking out about it!

I give an extremely special thanks to Sennie for giving me a name to call Ed's self in his mind and everything. Thank you bunches. If I could, I would give you a big hug and kiss, but sadly, I am here in Kentucky and you are... umm... where ever you happen to live!

Now, onto the story!

Previously on A Leap of Trust

"Come on Ed. It's been a week. I need you to wake up now. I want to see your eyes open. Please. I need it. Only because," Roy gulped. He knew it was now or never while he was out. "I love you Ed."

At that moment, Ed's eyes slowly opened and he turned his head to Roy who just happened to be holding his hand at the time and looking down at the floor. Roy wasn't aware of it yet, but Ed had heard the whole thing.

"What was that Colonel?" Roy heard, and his head shot up to look at 2 big golden eyes staring at him

Roy looked up into those 2 big golden orbs and he froze. He had no idea what he should say. Oh god. Please don't tell me Ed heard that! Roy thought to himself as he tried to think of something to say. But luckily for Roy, Ed was the first one to break the silence.

"Colonel, how long have I been out?" Ed said as he tilted his head slightly with that look in his eyes that says, I know exactly what you said Roy.

"Well... umm... it's been a week Ed." Roy stopped for a minute, before he decided he might as well tell him what exactly happened while he was out. "We lost you a few times, but your back."

"Oh, that explains that whit.." Ed stopped in mid sentence. He didn't want Roy to know anything about what he experienced when he was in his own world with Shad, that's the name Ed gave him, telling him to go ahead and get everything over with.

"What Full Metal? White what?"

"Oh nothing Colonel. Just still a little out of it that I don't know what I'm saying. So where's Al? Why isn't he here since I'm up and everything?" Ed looked around the room and tried to sit up but felt a sharp pain in his head and arm and laid back down on the bed.

"Al's at home. I told him I would call him once you woke up and I knew that you were alright. I'll call him here in a few minutes when the doctor comes in a checks on you. Is that alright?" Roy looked at him as he tried to get up. "Here, let me help you."

Roy leaned over and helped Ed sit up. Ed winced a little bit when Roy grabbed his arm, but the pain subsided and he looked out the window. I can't believe I was out for a week. It doesn't even feel like I was out for a day. I hope I didn't scare Al any. Ed thought as he slowly turned his head towards the Colonel who cleared his throat.

"Ed, I need to ask you something, and I want the honest truth. Okay?" Roy looked at Ed with a look of nervousness on his face. Ed could sense it and he tensed up a little bit. He knew what the Colonel was going to ask, and he had no idea if he should answer the truth or not.

"Go ahead Colonel. What is your question?" Ed looked slightly away as he knew he didn't want to look at him if he told the truth.

"What were you thinking? What caused you to go and jump off the bridge?" Roy reached up and put his hand on Ed's check and caused him to look him in the eyes.

"I... I..." Ed stuttered. He didn't know what to say. "I love you, you big buffoon." Oh yeah, that would go so well. I'll just scare him away. I can't tell him. No matter what happens. Ed thought to himself real quick before he decided on his answer. "I didn't mean to jump. I was standing on the ledge and was looking into the water, when my auto-mail gave out, and I fell in." Ed turned his head to face the window again.

Roy knew he was lying. He recalled what was said on the bridge. "Ed, look at me." Ed slowly turned his head to face Roy. "I was on the bridge when you went it. I heard what you said. Why were you saying you were sorry to Al, and me?"

Ed looked down at his hands. He knew he was caught. He had to tell Roy, and he had to tell him now. "Colonel... Roy... I just believe everything is my fault all of a sudden. It's my fault Al lost his body, that Scar died to help us, and that my mom is a homunculus now. I just couldn't take it anymore. Everything was just falling apart, and I thought the world would be better without me."

Roy looked at Ed and didn't exactly know what to say. There was a long silence before he knew exactly what to say. "Ed, the world wouldn't be any better without you. You would have a lot of people that would feel horrible without you here. Al would be devastated, Winry would probably go crazy, and mostly, I would feel like I failed at protecting you. Ed, if anything was to happen to you, I honestly don't know what I would do."

Ed looked back over at Roy, and for once in his life, he could actually say he saw sadness in the tough colonel. "I'm sorry sir. I didn't mean to worry you or anything. I have a question of my own if you don't mind." Roy nodded his head for him to continue. "Well, I'm wondering when will I be able to get out of here? I've never been to fond of hospitals and this one isn't helping me any."

"I'm not really sure, but I will go and get the doctor so he can come in and see how you are doing. I'll ask him before he leaves when he think you will be able to leave. What ever he says, we will go by. Oh, and I already asked Al when he came and visited, but you are going to stay with me for awhile."

At that moment, Ed shot up ignoring the pain that ran straight to his head and arm. "No! I don't want to stay at your house! Why in the world would I want to stay at Colonial jackass's house!" Roy looked at Ed and walked out of the room with a smirk on his face that Ed saw and started to yell for him down the hall.

"Ahhh... our Edward is back to being himself it seems. Maybe he didn't hit that rock hard enough to cause him to be polite once in awhile." Roy said as he was walking down the hall to find the doctor.

After the doctor had already came and gone, Ed asked the same question he asked not to long ago. "So when do I get out of this dump?"

"He said that you can leave tonight if you feel up to it and by the way you seem to be acting, you seem to be. I already asked the nurse to bring me the release forms. Ahh.. speaking of them." Roy turned to the door where the nurse had just entered holding a stack of papers for Roy to sign.

"If you don't mind Colonel, here are a few papers that need to be signed for Edward Elric to be released. I will be at my station. When you are getting ready to leave, just drop them off. Here is his pain pills for his head. If anything happens, be sure to bring him in right away." The nurse smiled as Roy nodded his head, and she walked out of the room.

"Well, I guess you will be leaving tonight for sure after I fill out these papers." Roy sat down next to Ed in the chair, and started to fill out the papers when Ed spoke.

"Am I really going to your house?" Ed looked over as he saw Roy nod his head but not look away from his papers. "I guess there is no way of getting out of this is there."

Roy sat his pen down, and looked up. "You know there isn't Ed. This is just to make sure everything is alright. We will continue to go about our normal daily routines, but you will not be going on missions for some time until I say otherwise. Plus, it won't be that bad at my place. I got some people to decorate the guest room to a way I think you will like. Al helped so to, so I know it will be just the way you want it."

After a few more moments of silence, Roy sat his pen down again. "I'm done Ed. Let me get the wheelchair and we can get out of here." He walked over to the wheelchair that was in the corner of the room and rolled it over to Ed. He handed Ed some clothes that Al had brought over when he visited.

Ed quickly changed with the help of Roy because he couldn't exactly move without feeling some pain in his head and arm. Roy then helped him into the wheelchair and handed Ed the papers to hold while he rolled him out of the room and to the nurse's station.

"Ah, it seems that you are done and ready to leave." The nurse took the papers from Ed and sat them on the desk and started to type into the computer. "Well Edward, you are ready to leave. Remember Colonel, if anything happens, bring him straight back here." Roy nodded and the nurse took Edward and rolled him out to the car that was waiting with Hawkeye in the drivers seat.

Roy helped Ed into the backseat and then they waved goodbye to the nurse. It feels good the be out of that hospital. Now, just to make sure Roy finds nothing else out, and then get away from him, and I will be able to do what I want again. Ed thought as Hawkeye pulled away from the hospital heading for Roy's house.
