SGA!!

note: just a warning, Kaylen's language isn't the best in this chapter... (but who's is?)

Chapter 12

"Wake up, sleepy!" a cheerful voice said into Ed's ear. He mumbled a reply and pulled the cover over his head. The owner of the cheery voice found this irritating and proceeded to pull the cover off. Ed blinked back the bright light of morning to see Kaylen standing there, sheets in her hands.

"Let me guess... It's gonna be like this for the entirety of my schoolgirl adventure, right?" Ed asked, sitting up.

"If you sleep that deeply all year, then yes," Kaylen said as she threw the sheets back on Ed. "Get decent and come downstairs. We're waiting." She turned to go out the door, her high heels clicking against the floor.

"Wait..." Ed said, sleep still lingering in his voice. Kaylen turned to face him again.

"What?" she asked.

"Are you wearing heels?" Ed asked, not believing what he was seeing. In addition to the heels, Kaylen was wearing a skirt and a tank top with a jacket over it.

"Guess so. Got a problem with it?" Kaylen replied.

"No... It's accually kinda nice to see you in something other than jeans," Ed said, smiling.

"I'm glad you feel that way, Ed. It's good for you to have an opinion about something," Kaylen said before she exited the room, shutting the door behind her.

"What crawled up her ass and died?" Ed mumbled to himself as he got out of bed. He crossed the room to get his clothes and put them on quickly. He was in the process of putting his pants on when Kaylen walked in again. She smiled at Ed before stepping into the bathroom.

"Ooh, sexy!" she called, and Ed began to laugh.

"I should be a model, huh?" he replied as he pulled his belt through a belt loop. He looked up to see Kaylen pulling 2 pills from a bottle and swallow them one at a time along with a drink of water. "Headache?" Ed asked as Kaylen emerged from the bathroom. She was silent for a moment, a blank stare on her face. Finally, she looked up, smiling.

"Yeah, I guess you could say that," Kaylen said, walking to the door. She started to open the door when Ed pulled her back by the waist.

"What was that?" Ed asked in a quiet voice. Kaylen didn't move or reply, so Ed turned her towards him. Teary blue eyes stared back at him.

"Why?! Why are you acting like this?!" Kaylen yelled as she tried to pull away from Ed.

"Acting like what?" Ed asked, holding onto Kaylen by her arms.

"Like you accually give a fuck about me! Get your hands off!" Kaylen cried, tears trickling down her cheeks.

"Kaylen..." Ed said, shaking his head. "Stop this!"

"Leave me alone!" Kaylen yelled before falling to the floor. By then, tears were steadily streaming down her face. Ed pulled her close and let her cry, warm tears sliding down his bare chest. Kaylen was silent for a moment, but then she suddenly whispered, "Don't let him hurt me..."

"Who?" Ed whispered. Kaylen looked up at Ed with wide eyes. It was as though she had woke up from a nightmare and the reality had just set in.

"Oh my God..." she said, putting a hand to her forehead. "I am so sorry."

"What...?" Ed asked as Kaylen got up and ran out of the room. Ed stood up and stared at the doorway dumbfounded. What the hell is wrong with that girl? Ed thought as he put on his shirt and jacket, relieved that he could be masculine today. He looked around to see if they had left anything and then went downstairs to check out. He met only Al in the lobby.

"What on earth did you do to that poor girl?" Al asked as Ed approached him. Ed shook his head and looked up at Al.

"Where are they?" he asked, and Al pointed to the bathroom door behind him. Ed sighed heavily and leaned against the nearest wall. "I didn't do anything. Kaylen came in and took some pills, and I just asked her if she had a headache. She just went over the edge and started yelling at me. I didn't know what to do... so I just held her. Then she got up and ran off," Ed explained.

"Who knows..." Al said quietly.

"What happened?" Winry asked. She and Kaylen were in the bathroom, and Kaylen was reapplying her make-up.

"I don't want to talk about it," Kaylen said blankly.

"You know, sometimes it's okay to trust people," Winry said sympathetically.

"Yes, I know," Kaylen replied, "but I have yet to find someone I'm sure I can trust."

"Look, you may not like me that well, but what's said in here won't leave. I swear," Winry said quietly as Kaylen turned to face her.

"Okay, you wanna know so bad?" Kaylen said loudly. "Fine. I'm bipolar. Happy now?" Winry stood in shock of this news and Kaylen sat down on the counter.

"Are you serious?" Winry asked in a quiet voice.

"Would I joke about something this serious?" Kaylen replied as she began to search through her purse. She pulled out her pill bottle and let Winry read it. It was a medication for Bipolar Disorder, and the prescription was for Kaylen. Winry looked up with wide eyes and Kaylen began to laugh. "My God, you look like you just found out that Ed has AIDS after you fucked him last night!"

"What?!" Winry said angrily, blushing slightly.

"Aw, cmon... what's said in here won't leave. Your words, remember?" Kaylen said with a smile. Winry looked away and sighed.

"Truth... he refused. He's been acting so weird since last night," Winry said sadly. "You know, he really cares for you. Sometimes I think he loves you more than me."

"Bullshit," Kaylen mumbled, looking away.

"Al on the other hand..." Winry began, "I think he'd keel over if anything ever happened to you. He's totally obsessed with you or something."

"I noticed that one," Kaylen said, smiling. "You aren't as bad as I thought, Winry. Truce, okay?"

"Sure," Winry said, and they walked out of the bathroom together.
