A doctor walked into the room and picked TJ up lightly and placed her on a bed near havoc's, she was still asleep and so was havoc.

Max had to stay after school to rehearse, Ed, monk and al didn't leave they watched her from the door; they were always impressed with what she could do. No one else in the school had the talents she had. She was making sure all of the instruments were tuned up and all the sound and lights were ready to go, for the person who was helping her out with it.

She sighed heavily and played quietly on her guitar and sang in a near whisper and closed her eyes. They all sighed heavily without her they would be dead in music, no doubt about it, and she was always there for them, if they needed someone's shoulder to cry on, or just to talk to someone. She was that type of friend. Tears fell down her face as she played, why was she crying…..?

They all got worried, but they thought it was better to leave her, she probably didn't want to talk about it and wanted to be on her own, to think.

They all sighed and left, monk went back to her house and ed wanted to catch on some more sleep, it was Max's concert tomorrow, he needed the energy unless he would just pass out.

Al decided too spend the time doing all his homework it was going to take a while.

A few hours later max was sitting in her house, on her own again. She didn't mind it, it's having someone to talk to would be nice. Monk skipped down to Max's house and knocked on her door, loudly. Max sighed and got up, she opened the door. She hugged max tightly "come on…lets go for a walk, you need some fresh air…" she said, poking her in the side. Max nodded "okay, sounds good" she replied, getting her jacket and walking out the Monk, closing the door.

They walked down the path "have you ever used alchemy?" monk asked, she had no idea why she was asking "yeah…I can, you know just encase I break my instruments or anything" monk nodded "wow, I can't use it, I had a bad experience and it was embarrassing…" Max smiled slightly "okay I wont ask"

They spent an hour walking around the park, talking about school and the concert she had to do. But she didn't once say why she was crying earlier, and monk didn't want to bring it up in conversation.

"Come on lets go see Ed and al" max said, smiling. Monk nodded and they ran to Ed and al's house. Winry had already sorted out Ed's auto mail and was resting on the couch, complaining about the pain.

Max and Monk walked into there house "hey guys" they said together smiling. Ed sighed heavily and closed his eyes "hi…" Al walked out his room and into the living room "oh…hey max and monk…didn't expect you to come here" he said, laughing weakly. "Thought we'd surprise you" monk replied "looks like ed's in a ickle but off pain" she said, knowing he would probably kill her for saying 'ickle.'

Ed sighed, he couldn't be bothered and looked up at all of them and sat up on the couch. Monk just smiled evilly.

They just talked about everything that had happened in the last couple of weeks and they were all sat down. Al had gone off to make some drinks. He came back and placed them on the side. Monk picked up a glass and it accidentally slipped out her hand onto the floor.

Max sighed and got up, she drew a transmutation circle and put all the glass into the circle. She placed her hands onto the circle and it glowed as the glass went back into one again, she picked the glass up and handed it to al "good as new" she said smiling. Al was slightly amazed, he didn't know she could use alchemy, he nodded and took the glass off her and made another drink for monk.

A few hours later max got up "its getting late and I need to get back to rest" she walked over to ed and monk and hugged them first. Then she walked over to Al "see you tomorrow then.." she said smiling and hugged Al. He blushed a bit and hugged her back, trying to hide behind his hair. Ed and Monk noticed this and both laughed, when Max walked out.

"What was going on there?" Ed asked. Al shook his head "nothing.." Monk knew he was lying, bad liar he was "aww…you like max don't you…just tell her…" Monk said, getting up and sitting on the table. Al sighed "I can't she's too perfect…and she deserves someone better than me…" he replied. Monk shook her head "believe me.al she does like you back, we've had our set of 'girly talks' and you're the only guy she likes…"

Al sighed "I'll tell her after…her concert tomorrow I don't want it to put her off or anything" Monk nodded and walked out, max was right it was getting late and her dad was going to kill her.

Ed smiled slightly and faked a tear "little alphonse is growing up" He said laughing slightly. Al nodded and walked into his bedroom.

Havoc had woken up a few minutes ago and he had taken a picture out his pocket with him and schizka there, tears fell down his face, he needed her back. She was his only reason for carrying on. What is the point now….?
