Hello! This is just a super short update for you guys! Just a few more chapters my pretties and you will know Ed's fate! There aren't many chapters left and this one is extra short because it's leading you into the major climax. You're gonna hate me for this chapter but you'll see soon! I'll work hard to get this done for you guys and hopefully have these last few chapters longer than the few previous ones have been. Last chapter was pretty much filler to give you guys some fluff before I did this to you. xD

Enjoy!

Chapter 10

Edward POV…

"Ugh," I groaned as I lay back in my bed. I threw a small tennis ball up and down as I stared at the ceiling. There is more to life than this, but this last round of chemo knocked me on my ass hard. The treatments have started to work more, and they said that only two more doses and it should all be gone. It's a miracle considering I was in stage 4 when they found it.

Al walked in, his usual smile on his face. I turned my head towards him, "Hey."

His smile widened, "Hey, how you feeling?"

"Better, I guess. They said it's almost gone, that I'm a miracle story. I just feel so relieved but I'm so tired and in some much pain. They upped the doses to get rid of it and it's just drained me. I haven't seen Winry in almost a week, and I miss her so much."

"Hey now," Al placed a comforting hand on my arm, "Winry just wants to see you healthy and alive."

I looked at him, my eyes barely able to stay open, "I just want to be with her."

"You will Ed, you will. She will be the only one for you. And she'll be so happy, right?"

I smiled, "Yeah. What about you Al? How have you been?"

Al cocked a brow, "What do you mean?"

"Your seizures… the medicine has been working right?" I asked.

My brother stared at me funny, "I haven't had a seizure in almost a year since I've been taking medicine. Are you sure you're feeling okay Ed?"

"Yeah, just a little tired and woozy…And I…" My lungs suddenly felt like they were closing in on me. I took shallow breathes and I couldn't get enough of them. I struggled for air.

"Brother? Brother!"

Obtaining oxygen was becoming impossible. I couldn't breathe!

"Edward!"

I saw the fuzzy vision of my brother as the world faded black.

Winry POV…

I walked through the store, searching for something to give Edward. He'd been feeling bad the past week or so and I wanted to give him something special. I came across a sports store and paused, Did he play any sports?

I walked through the small store, but didn't see anything I thought would interest Edward. I mean, he's a science freak not an athlete. I exited the sports center before making my way to the book store. I searched the book store until I came upon different scientific books. I picked up a book about something called "alchemy". I think Ed might actually like this. I smiled at the thought of the look on his face. He always makes the cutest expressions. I stood there looking through the pages before looking back at the bookshelf. Suddenly, I felt a ring and vibration in my blue jeans pocket. I quickly fished it out and opened the phone.

"Hello?"

"Winry! Ed's body couldn't handle all the chemotherapy it'd been getting the last few weeks. He stopped being able to breathe! They said his cancer is nearly cleared but it has drained his body so much. He stopped eating recently and I didn't even notice and he got really dehydrated. He needs you! Come to the hospital please!"

I dropped the book and ran out of the store.
