(A/N) Heh I'm dedicating this chapter to my oh so devoted reader Clare Collins, who reviews almost everything. You make me happy Clare! Anyways I'm gonna try to make this chapter long like the last one... but no promises!

Oh and just a warning to you all... um... this chapter is a bit dramatic... (oh come on you knew it was coming sometime)

That morning when I'd woken up I never expected what was to come. I made mistakes, I said the wrong things, but I wouldn't take it back, I wouldn't trade that day for anything.

I walked over to Edwards house and rang the doorbell and Trisha answered the door "So you're here to take my boy away from me again. You know the summer is the only time I get to see my sons." she teased.

"Sorry to tell you Mrs. Elric," I smiled "but it's you and my moms fault we're friends in the first place." I remembered before I was really comfortable around Ed and Al, Trisha would make them come over to my house when she came.

I'll never forget the time my mom said she'd watch over Ed while Al's mom took him to be interviewed to go to the same school as Edward when September rolled around...

"Winry!" My mom called "Edward's here alright? Be nice."

I sighed and rolled over on my bed. It didn't bug me so much when they both came over but just Edward... it felt... intimidating in a way. Being alone with a boy? Me? Not an event that happened often.

I could tell Ed was in a bad mood the second he walked in "Geez I'm twelve I don't need to be babysat.." he whined. "I'm in middle school dammit."

"Your mom was probably afraid you'd burn down the house." I said sarcastically.

"Oh yes Miss Perfect and I'm sure you're much more mature than me." he shot back.

Oh yes we were quite on edge that day. "Really? It's that obvious? I try not to flaunt it."

"Geez Winry you sure are bitchy today.." he glared at me.

"Dammit Ed! You suck!" I stuck my tongue out. "You're worse than normal."

"Whatever. You're just trying to cover up the fact that you think I'm hot." he rolled his eyes.

"What?" I screeched.

"Oh yeah like I didn't see you totally gawking at me the first time we met, I still remember." he started yelling.

"Yeah right, you so wish! Dillusional boy!" I yelled back.

"Oh?" he questioned "And why would I EVER wish you'd gawk at me?" he asked.

"Because you like me." I folded my arms and stared at him.

-

That day Winry had hit it right on. She was exactly right. That was the first time I'd realized I liked her... though I'd never admit it.

She glared at me "What? Why so quiet?"

"Oh.." I pushed my thoughts away "Nothing."

She place her hands on her hips "You really are weird you know that?"

"You aren't exactly the spitting image of normal in case you haven't noticed." I turned to walk out of her room.

"This is stupid." she said, making me freeze in my tracks "Why don't we just be friends. And get along again."

"You know.." I said thinking fast "there's this new anime movie that came out on DVD that I think you'd like... maybe we can get your mom to take us down to the movie rental place to get it." I sudgested.

She smiled her picture perfect smile "Sweet!"

That afternoon we got to know more and more about eachother. And the more I heard, the more I liked her. Though I wasn't exacted happy about that part...

-

"I think Edwards in his room. I'm not sure if he's awake yet." Trisha let me in.

"I wouldn't doubt it if he was still asleep after going to four movies last night." I laughed.

"So that's why he didn't come home until one in the morning." she said accusingly "You were watching the movie when you were there.. right?"

"Oh come on Mrs. Elric! You know it's not like that.." I said walking down the hall.

I walked over to Eds room where I could hear him debating with himself.

"If I tell her I'd regret it for sure..." he paced back and forth "I've been holding back for so long.. why all of the sudden do I feel obligated to tell her now of all times... I don't understand it."

I started to say something, to let him know I was there, but he continued. "How would I say it anyway? It's not one of those things you just blurt out... Argh.." he groaned.

He walked over to the window and looked out of it "No..." he whispered "I just can't. I can't tell Winry I love her.. I don't want to burden her."

He probably would had said more might I not have gasped so loudly.

He whirled around and looked at me in shock. "W-Winry.." he choked out. "Did you hear... I mean I... you.." he ran up to me. "I'm really sorry I didn't-"

Then I started laughing a sort of pathetic laugh "Y-you're kidding right.." I started crying a little "you couldn't be serious... you don't..." I began sobbing when I tried to say the words 'love me.'

Because I knew it wasn't true... there was no way... that Edward could love me.

-

I paused for a second. I didn't know how to respond. After a bit of debating with myself in my head I decided... I wasn't going to lie.

"I'm sorry. But it is true." I hung my head in shame.

"N-no way. Don't lie..." she turned and ran still crying.

"Winry!" I chased after her outside. "Winry!" She slammed the door of her house in my face.

"Damn..." I said to myself "dammit."

I trudged back to my house and sat on the porch. "God dammit." I said putting my head between my knees staring at the ground. "GODDAMMIT ALL!" I screamed as a tear slowly went down my cheek.

I wiped it away quickly. "What the hell..." I said my voice shaking "Why did I do that! I'm such an idiot!"

Another tear went down my cheek, but this one I didn't even bother to stop.

"I just wish... that I could take it back."

(A/N) AWE! How saaaaaad! Wow I'm really in a fanfiction writing mood tonight huh? (I'm already thinking about writing the third chapter. This one wasn't quite as long but it did have a lot of depth to it so that makes up for it... right? REMEMBER TO REVIEW!
