ANSWERS TO REVIEW:

Panic: Thanks! ^^ (sighs) thank you for the kind words, I was never too sure when I first started writing (ok, that was quite a while back) but I never let anyone see my writing and now that I'm actively publishing it, I'm still a tad unsure ^^ So Reviews always give me more confidence and inspiration to write! :)

Bob: Oh hell, I played that once with my cousin. Haha It was creepy I admit, especially since we were younger it was even creepier .

CrazyCat: Ah sorry, that one will be coming either the next chapter or the one after that but it WILL come soon! ;)

Anonymous J: hahaha Thanks girl, I am for now, though exams are getting more terrifying the more I look at my schedule for this month (hides face)

Daughterofapollo12345: haha Don't worry, I intended for the thing with Envy be a small crush, nothing else. I have something else planned for him anyway ;) He likes Lena a lot but more like a friend, he thinks it's a crush because she was the first woman to accept him and act really kind towards him ^^

I'm Sorry Mom and Dad

The room was silent, barren of any noise or much furniture.

Except the thing she cherished most, something that Greed had brought for her shortly after he learned she used to play the piano and missed playing on it.

A piano.

The black sleek instrument was the first thing that was carried inside their new house, so there wasn't much furniture elsewhere. But that was enough for her. More than enough. She had been so happy when he presented her with the gift, such a generous gift, surely a large burden on his wallet, but Greed had constantly shushed and reassured her he didn't even feel the half a pound lighter wallet in his jacket, it was as light as a feather as Greed had jokingly told her.

Lena had laughed and thrown herself in his arms, laughing and crying, overwhelmed with emotions for this man as well as for the instrument that had brought many memories good and bad to her.

She bit her lip, before taking a deep, shaky breath as her fingers touched the black and white keys, stroking over them with a sense of nostalgia and nausea.

She hit one smooth note, then another, and before she knew it, she was playing. After a while, she sang along.

I'm sorry mom and dad

I know I messed up bad

I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mom and dad for all the time I had

To get my life, to get my life together

But I didn't

Her fingers continued dancing on the keyboards, her smile serene, her eyes sad. She willed her throat not to tighten up at the emotions and memories coursing through her.

1983 you gave birth to me

Sleep little baby girl had the world at my feet, before I could even stand.

Cradled me in your right and your left hand a precious bundle of unmade plans

Hopes and dreams of bigger things, a bright future so it seemed

But that light grew a little less bright as I grew up we began to fight.

A tear slid down her face and she quickly lifted one hand to wipe it away, fingers continuing to play on the keys, the melody pleasantly ringing in her ears, yet her heart ached with memories.

When I was 13 I was so damn mean, running away had nothing more to say than I hate you

But that's not true now

I just don't, I just don't, I just don't know how to say

I'm sorry mom and dad

I know I messed up bad

I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mom and dad for all the time I had

To get my life, to get my life together

But I didn't

Lena's body gave a shiver, emotions threatening to overwhelm her, images of her past and her smiling parents appeared before her eyes.

You never talk about me to your friends

Because you must be so embarrassed

I dropped out of college without any plans;

I moved back home I couldn't even pay rent.

I was living on your couch trying to figure it out,

cutting myself up, tearing myself down.

For a moment, her hands shook so much she stopped playing, but willed her muscles to work and to continue playing, vivid images appearing before her mind's eye, teeth clenching hard together before she sang again.

I'm sorry mom and dad

I know I messed up bad

I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mom and dad for all the time I had

To get my life, to get my life together

But I didn't

I'm sorry that I couldn't buy you that house upon that hill

Or take care of all your medical bills

I know I didn't make you proud;

I should've been someone by now but I never figured out how

I'm sorry I couldn't buy you that house upon that hill

Or take care of all your medical bills

I know I didn't make you proud;

I should've been someone by now but I never figured out how

Lena's fingers picked up speed, quickly but softly pressing down on the keys, concentrating on keeping her emotions in control, not letting her submit to her anger and despair.

I'm sorry mom and dad

I know I messed up bad

I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mom and dad for all the time I had

To get my life, to get my life together

I'm sorry mom and dad

I know I messed up bad

I should've, should've done, should've done better

I'm sorry mom and dad for all the time I had

To get my life, to get my life together

But I didn't...

Sincerely, Your Daughter...

And the tears fell.

Her fingers slid off the keyboards, the tears down her cheeks, she cried silently, trying to breathe evenly. She knew if she was too loud she would alert Greed, who was a few rooms away, with his enhanced hearing too.

She wiped away at her tears, her head swimming with memories.

Greed silently watched his girlfriend, he had to command every fiber in his body not to go to her and comfort her, he was visibly shaking. Greed scoffed angrily, he had heard her sing, heard her sing and play...

At this moment, he felt as furious as Wrath himself.

With blazing violet eyes, he stormed away from the scene, his mind screaming at him to understand, his heart screaming at him to go to her and comfort her. He listened to none.

He was angry, not at Lena, never at her, he was angry because...

She blamed herself for something those foolish bastards of parents did.

QUESTION: Why do you guys think Greed was so angry? He stated he wasn't angry at Lena, so at who is he angry? Suggestions and thoughts are welcome! Ideas about Lena's past are welcome too! :)
