Chapter 11

Winry POV…

I ran into the hospital like a mad-man. Where was Ed!? I had to get to him quickly. I noticed Al in the lobby waiting for me.

I dashed up to him quickly, "Where is he? Where's Ed? Tell me Al!"

Al's golden eyes read of panic, he merely shook his head, "He's down the hall. The nurses kicked me out of the room. You can't go down there."

"Like hell I won't!" I stormed past Al down the hall.

"Winry! They've got him on oxygen and he's in critical condition! Just wait until they can let you in!" He called to me.

I spun quickly to face him, "Al, I'm going to see if my boyfriend is alive. Are you coming with me or not?"

Alphonse sighed pathetically, "I guess I'm coming with you."

"That's what I thought."

I spun on my heel and the two of us headed down the hallway at great speed. I heard some nurses call from behind but that just made me break out into a sprint.

I slammed open the door to the room that Edward was in. A doctor and a few nurses surrounded him and immediately told me to get out.

"No I can't leave! I have to see Ed!" I cried as the nurses came towards me.

"You can't see him right now we have to-"

"Winry…" The nurses paused at the croak. It was Ed.

I pushed past the women before they could stop me and snatched Edward's hand into mine. I stared at his pale face with unease, "I'm here Ed! I'm right here."

His voice was hoarse as he replied, "I was scared I wasn't going to get to see you again. I don't know how much longer I have."

"Ed, don't you dare say that. You're gonna be fine." I could feel the nurses starting to tug on my shoulder.

His golden eyes were slowly draining of their sunlight, "Winry… I really wish I could've gotten to marry you. I'm sorry. There's so much that I can't do now. Please, don't wait for me."

I snapped at him, "Ed! Stop it! You're going to be okay? Promise me!" The nurses finally grabbed me by my shoulders and yanked me away from my boyfriend.

"Hey Winry, I just want you to remember," He coughed as he continued, "that I love you."

That was the last thing he said before I saw him take one last shuttering breath. And then I was kicked out of the room.

Edward POV…

White. That's the first thing I saw. Blurry white. It was actually kind of calming. I didn't know where I was but it seemed so nice. I just wanted to lie here forever. I couldn't hear anything anymore. Everything seemed so quiet but I don't think I minded. It was nice without hospital sounds all around me.

Suddenly, there was a blurry vision of a girl in front of me. She was an angel. A perfect angel. I stared at her a moment, trying to make out any of her features. All I could make out was her pale skin and the long, lemon blonde hair that framed her face. As the blurriness began to fade I noticed her eyes were the color of the sea. This girl was so beautiful like something from a dream. Her face came into focus… this girl really was an angel. This girl was Winry, hovering over me. What a wonderful face to see as I die.

"-rd!"

What? Am I hearing her now?

"-ward!"

What's going on?

"Edward!"

I blinked a couple of times and suddenly my brain computed. I sat up with a start and breathed heavily. My body was covered in sweat and I had an oxygen mask over my face. Considering the rate of my heart and breathing right now, this mask needs to go.

Winry's hand grabbed my shoulder and she began to press me back down to the bed, "You're awake…"

"I'm alive?"

Winry's eyes grew glassy with tears, "Yes, you idiot! You're alive!"

I stared at her, my mind processing everything that has happened. I was alive. I was alive! I snatched her hand off my shoulder and yanked her down onto the bed. I wrapped my arms around her back tightly, in fear of her fading away.

"I can't believe it. I thought I was dead for sure."

Her voice was tight, "So did we…"

I stroked her hair and buried my face in her shoulder, "I'm so sorry for everything I've put you through Winry."

She ran a hand across my cheek, "You silly, silly boy. You mean everything to me."

"You're everything to me too."

Winry pulled her body away from mine and pressed a kiss to the bald skin on my head. She gave my cheek one more stroke, "I have to tell the doctor that you're awake."

I nodded slowly. She smiled as she started to the door.

"Hey Winry."

My blonde angel turned on her heel, "Yes?"

"Can you… can you get Al?"

Her lips turned upwards with a nod, "Of course I can."
