Hello.
This was a rather short story but I am pleased with the way it turned out. This is something we all at one point in our lives go through though we all choose different paths to take.

Chapter 7
I had a decision to make.
It was Winry or Al.
I slouched down in the couch, it was the middle of the night but I wasn't anywhere near sleepy. My head was filled with thoughts of Winry, Al, my heart, my gut. It didn't make any sense.
Al wanted us together but I knew deep down, I couldn't be with her.
This was my punishment for hurting Al when we were younger, for constantly giving him false hope then crushing it.
This was what I deserved for not being the responsible big brother for all those years.
This was what I get for putting myself first and him second.
I closed my eyes.
But that's okay. I can live with that because I now know that I can't find happiness without Al. He has to be there; by my side otherwise life isn't worth living. Some people won't understand, and that's fine. When you've had no one but yourself to consider for years it's a difficult concept to grasp.
To understand that sometimes, what you want isn't as important as protecting the ones you love.
That sometimes, putting yourself second will bring you more happiness and memories that you could ever imagine.
And I love Al more than I love myself.
Therefore Winry doesn't matter.
In this equation, she doesn't fit in.
It's Al plus me equals a better life.
With Winry, Al gets factored out somehow. And that's something I couldn't live with.
I heaved a heavy, hearty sigh and closed my eyes; hopefully sleep might come to me tonight.

Morning came, the sunlight shone in through the windows, and I heard footsteps fall behind me. I turned around, and there she stood in all her glory. Her long blonde hair was messy from sleep, she was rubbing her eyes, and her clothing was slept in yet she looked absolutely gorgeous.
I turned away.
I had to tell her.
I had to let her know that it was Al.
I was choosing Al.
I was choosing my little brother.
She was no longer allowed in our world.
I was locking the gates forever.
From now on, it was going to be Al and me on one side, and the rest of the world on the other. Just like it was meant to be.
