Words of Farewell

Chapter 12

Hey everyone. This is the last chapter of Did He Really Have to Die. So sad. I wish it didn't have to end so quickly. I only have 12 chapters! Oh well. So Riza died and Ed said he loved her! Wowza. I love that word. Anyway. The reason Ed said he loved Riza was because she reminded him of Winry. I wonder why. Riza is too old for Ed anyway. Ok. Read and review this last chapter.

That was all. Nothing more. Gone.

As Ed stood over Riza and looked at her one last time, the only thing that came to mind was, why. Why, Riza? It could have been him instead, which Ed thought would have been better if he had died. If it had been him, would Riza be standing over him? Who knows?

Ed couldn't help but cry. It had been 5 years since he had cried.

By the time Havoc got to the scene of the accident, the body had already been moved.

"Damn it." He said under his breath. "God, why? Why Riza? She had a daughter to care for, and a long life ahead of her. But you had to go and take that all away from her."

"Excuse me sir. Did you know the woman who was killed." Some stranger asked.

"Yeah. She was my wife." Replied Havoc.

"I'm so sorry. I lost control of the car and I didn't see her. I'm so sorry." Said the stranger.

"It's ok. Really. I bet she wanted to go"

"Why do you say that, sir?"

"She lost a friend 5 years ago. He was her best friend." Havoc said.

"Oh. Well, I'm sorry for your loss."

That was the end of the conversation. Havoc left the scene, and went home. Not much happened after that night. That was, until the funeral on Sunday.

Sunday

Black. It's such a dreary color, but that's all you wear to a funeral. Havoc tried hard to look happy; it just didn't come to him. He left at 10 and the service lasted about 5 hours. After the service was over Havoc went to the cemetery and stood over Riza's grave. And these were his words of farewell.

"I wish you could watch Rita grow up with me." He began. "She's going to be a beautiful girl. I bet she will look just like you. You know, when we got married I never would have thought this day would come so soon. I guess I was wrong. I'll try and stay happy for you, but don't count on anything."

Havoc paused.

"I'll visit here as much as possible. I'll even put flowers on Roy's grave. Well, I guess I'll be back tomorrow. See you, Riza."

He left. As he did, he smiled and looked up to the sky and saw rain drops beginning to fall. He said one more thing.

"Watch out for Riza, Roy."

And that was the end. Havoc lived until he was 85. Rita married and settled into an apartment with her husband, and son. And the line continued after that. But when Rita's son died in a house fire at a friends house, Rita stood at the grave and said.

"Did he really have to die?"
