(A/N) Ahahah! I'm finally updating... yes I realize you're probably grumbling about it taking too long but... I was preocupied with my plethora (big word!) of Fullmetal Alchemist Fanfics. But yeah, here you go...

She woke up that morning

And wiped away the tears she'd wept during the night

She stretched out her arms and yawned

Her mind racing with thoughts

What would she do next?

What was going to happen?

Would the pain ... the sadness... would it ever end?

-

Aya walked into the kitchen of Yuuhi's rather spacious apartment. "Good morning." she said forcing a smile.

"Oh good, you're up" he said placing a plate of pancakes on the table "I made you breakfast but I have to go to work now..."

"Oh..." Aya said in disappointment "Alright then."

"Ah...I..." Yuuhi thought a moment "Do you... need a job? I mean not to rush things but if you ever need it theres an opening down at my restraunt."

Aya realized she would need a job soon. There was no way she could afford the next payment for her apartment. "Ah, yes! That'd would be great." she said quickly.

"Alright, come with me then." Yuuhi smiled.

-

"So.." Aya said staring out the window of the moving car "what job is open?"

"What job do you want?" Yuuhi responded.

"Wait...so there isn't one needed?" Aya glared at him.

"Well we DO need an assistant in the kitchen but somehow I doubt that would work well," he laughed "but really what job do you want?"

"Well" Aya thought for a second "it'd be nice to be a waitress I guess." she said hopeful.

"Alright Miss Mikage," Yuuhi said pulling into the parking lot "you're hired.

-

It'd only been a few days, but Aya was starting to get a hang of this waitress thing. She hadn't dropped anything and got along well with the customers.

She was bringing a glass of water over to the table in the far corner when somthing had caught her attention. There sat a woman, with what appeared to be her husband and daughter.

They all looked so happy.

Just like she had...

only a short time ago...

The glass fell to the ground and shattered.

-

Only a simple plee for him not to go would have been sufficent enough to stop this pain from happening

So many things she could have done to prevent that horrible fate

That morning he and her daughter left

To go to the park down the street

She wished them well and stayed home

But not long after,

She received the call

The call that would change her life forever

A car sped by

And killed them

The two who meant the world to her

The two whom she would change the world for

Those who she needed

Were taken away from her

Taken away, forever...

-

The sound of the clashing glass startled Aya and brought her back to the real world.

"Shit..." she whispered while picking up the shards.

She soon saw a hand in front of her helping her pick up the pieces. She looked up to see the woman from before.

"Oh... it's my fault I'll..." Aya began but the woman stopped her.

"No really, it's alright, accidents happen." she smiled.

Aya's eyes filled with tears as she looked at her, "Thank you... and... appreciate what you have... while you still have it."

She stood up and walked away, tears streaming down her face.

(A/N) Blah... don't complain if you think it's too short... just review okay?
