A/N: So, I'm gonna be focusing on the meaning behind this song because really, what can you do with the title? lol "Why Georgia" presents feelings of confusion and uncertainty—not knowing if everything is really going the way it's supposed to. Also, this chapter is post-movie and Ed's still in our world.
Why Georgia
As Ed lay in his bed staring into the darkness, he was suddenly struck with the thought that his bed was not nearly as comfortable as the one he used to sleep in at Granny's house. Sighing, he ran his fingers through his blonde locks, mentally cursing himself for remembering such a thing. That was years ago, but no matter how hard he tried, he couldn't forget about it.
Ed was always facing a constant struggle with himself ever since he entered this new world for the second time, closing the door on the old one. A part of him wanted so badly to forget everything about his old life—all of the people, the places, and especially a certain mechanic. If he somehow lost all of those memories, then they would no longer torment him at night. He could finally stop longing for something that he would never have again.
But, the truth was, he really didn't ever want to lose those memories. He never wanted to forget the places he had been, the people he had met, and he especially couldn't stand the thought of never thinking of that beautiful mechanic ever again.
He rolled over onto his side, trying desperately to just go to sleep, but as always on nights like this, questions flooded his mind. Did he do everything right? Was there anything he could have done differently? He replayed all the scenes in his mind, but as usual, he came to the conclusion that this was the way it had to be.
But, on this night, a new visual came to his mind. He saw Winry. He saw the way she had looked at him on the last day that they saw each other. He remembered how she had thrown her arms around him, and that's when he realized that he could have done something different. He could have just hugged her back.
A/N: Wow, surprisingly, I like this one. I was a little worried about it, lol. I actually think there will be a continuation of this one, but it'll be later. Thanks for reading, and please review!
