Chapter 2: Too Late

The other morning, Rose had slept on a guest room. She was awake, with a little cast on her ankle that Old Rockbell had put on her, and she was in the kitchen drinking a glass of water. It was early, about five or six o' clock in the morning, so the only thing that the sky caught was a beautiful sunset. The rays of the sun hidden behind the clouds went through the window to Rose's face. She was already dressed with a beige colored dress and brown sandals. Then Winry passed by and saw Rose.

"R-Rose, what the hell are you doing here?"

"Don't worry. I was just leaving" she said putting the glass of water away.

"No! I was just surprised to see you here" Winry saw Rose's left foot "What happened to you?"

"Oh, um… nothing, I just fell."

"And you were planning to leave like that? You must be crazy to even walk like that!"

"It doesn't hurt. I'm fine, O.k.?"

"Yeah right, you're as stubborn as Ed!"

ED. When that name came to Rose's mind, her heart started to beat faster and faster as she remembered what she told Ed the night before, when he was drunk. Knowing that he could remember it she got nervous and started grabbing herthings to leave.

"Y-You know… I-I better go."

"What? No!" she said trying to stop Rose.

Rose moved trying to pass so she could get out and go. When she saw that it wasn't successful she stopped and asked Winry to move

"Winry move!"

"Fine!" she said moving aside, noticing that Rose was getting madder.

Rose passed trough and opened the door. She had made it down the stairs and she had walked for around 20 seconds, when someone grabbed her hand. She got scared because she didn't know who the person was. She knew that it couldn't be Ed because he had got drunk and she knew that he wouldn't be awake by now. She knew that it couldn't be Winry or the old Rockbell, because the person's hand was too big. She dared to look back, and when she did she saw Alphonse. He was human (try to imagine Al as a human, but in the age of 15), and he had the short brown hair and brown and at the same time golden eyes. He wore a light green shirt with a beige and short sleeve jacket on top and blue jeans. Rose was surprised to see Al and she thought that she knew that Al was going to tell her the same crap that everyone would have told her.

"Al, let go. I know what you're going to tell me. I know you're going to say that I can't go, but I'm 16. I can make my own decisions and I need nobody to help me" she said pulling her hand away.

"That and that you can't go. Not because of you or me or Old Rockbell, but because of Ed!"

"Whatcha mean?

"I have traveled a lot with you and Ed and you think I didn't notice?"

"Notice what?"

"Oh, Rose! Don't be stupid! I know you like…no…LOVE Ed!"

"I don't, and if I did it would be useless" she said looking away.

"Why would you say that?"

"BECAUSE HE LOVES WINRY! And I can't do anything to stop it!" she said catching Al's gaze.

"And you, DON'T like him, right?" he said, a smirk crossing his lips.

"It doesn't matter now. I'm going. Back to Lior, and never coming back, not here. Not a place that brings me so much pain."

"Liar. You won't go back to Lior. Not after all that happened there. Come on, you know you want to stay. Didn't you love Ed?"

"I don't know what I feel! Just, please, don't hold me back."

"Isn't Ed going to wander what happened to you?"

"Ed won't remember me. He was already drunk when I found him yesterday."

"You mean just yesterday, he remembers you from all the things we three have passed through. And that he won't remember yesterday, it's just a guess. I mean one never knows. He may remember" he said grinning.

"I don't care anymore, may-maybe just a little. I-I DON'T KNOW ANYMORE!"

Rose let herself fall to the grass they were walking on. She started pulling her hair and had a face full with anguish. Al kneed to pick her up, but she pushed him back.

"Just- just leave me alone!"

"But, Ro…"

"Go!" she interrupted Al.

Al stood up and walked to the house, leaving Rose there, in the floor, fighting with all her strength to hold her tears, because she didn't want to show how weak she can be on some moments. Al just when he was about to open the Rockbell house, he looked back at Rose. He wanted to do something like to go shake her so she would stand up or to go screaming to Ed and tell him everything, but he knew that it would just make things worse. He just held himself back and went inside. Winry was drinking a cup of tea, and when she saw Al entering the house she quickly stood up from the chair she had sat on.

"Is she O.K?"

"She just needs to be alone. She's passing through a hard time" he said looking down.

"Passing through what?"

Al knew she wouldn't understand because she didn't know what was to fight for love feelings because she didn't know that another girl was behind her loved one.

"You wouldn't get it."

They were sad, maybe not because of love, but they knew about confusion and what crazy things confusion might make a person do. But what they didn't notice was that Ed was already awake and had heard the last conversation about Rose.

"Where's Rose?" he said with a blurry sight of the pair and a mad expression.

Al and Winry quickly turned around as soon as they heard Ed's voice.

"I heard you. And I do remember that she brought me here from the bar."

Ed said that, and he did remember, but what he couldn't remember was what Rose had told him I need to know, WHERE IS SHE!

Winry noticed his worry for Rose and felt disappointed; she finally got a clue of what was happening. Winry finally guessed what was happening to Rose, but she wasn't sure.

"Umm… well…"

"She's in the park, the one on front" she interrupting Al, with disappointment in her voice.

Ed grabbed his jacket and went to the door and just before he left, he got close to Winry, kissed her gently on the cheek. "Thanks Winry" And he left the house and left Winry blushing.

Ed went running to the grass field where Rose was supposed to be, but he saw no one.

"Rose… where are you?"

He wondered where Rose could be, the girl that was hurt many times, but kept being happy and joyous in a form. He wondered where the girl was, the one who he told to stand up and keep walking. He kept wondering until he saw far next to a hidden lake the figure of a woman sat on arock. He started running towards the human figure, and when he got close he started to slow down and he saw that it was Rose. Rose noticed him and stood up.

"E-Ed! What are you doing here?" she said hiding her face from him.

"Rose… why did you run away?" he said getting close to her.
"It doesn't matter."

"Rose… you were crying. That's really important to me" he said grabbing her arm gently in attempt to turn her around.

When Rose heard this she quickly turned around and Midnight Blue seriousness met Golden fury. They looked into each other's eyes and they told everything. Ed leaned to kiss Rose when… they heard a gasp.

Ed and Rose heard the hard gasp that pierced their ears and looked back. It was Winry, who was letting the first two tears fall from her ayes.

"Winry… I… can explain…" he said going towards her.

But before he could say another thing she ran away, then, he turned to Rose, who had given a few steps back.

"Rose… wait don't go…" he said stretching his arm towards her.

"I…" she said with a sigh.

And beforefinishing she ran away giving a great sigh. And Ed was there, looking the only girls that he had ever loved running away in different directions, with nothing to do, just confused and with the gentle breeze blowing through his hair.
