"I want you to go tell Hawkeye what has happened. Tell her where I am, and to get the car and come here. I am in no condition to walk right now." Roy looked at them with eyes that made them a little worried.

The men saluted and ran off, leaving Roy on the soaking wet ground in his dripping uniform. Please Ed. Be ok. I worked to hard to save you to have you give up now. Please, I can't lose you. Roy thought to himself, as he slowly laid on his back on the ground and closed his eyes hoping Hawkeye would get there soon.

It's been a week since the incident on the bridge, but to Roy, it felt like months. Every since Hawkeye picked him up at the bridge and took him to Ed, he had not left the young alchemist's bedside. He had barely eaten let alone sleep for the whole week. He would hold back his tears and beg for Ed to wake up, but he never got a response.

"Come on Ed, please. Anything, I beg." Roy said with the sound of tears and sleepiness in his voice. He laid his head down on the bed and took Ed's hand in his.

Why Ed? You could have came to me if something was wrong. How is it that Al had no idea something was wrong? How did he not notice the signs? Come on Ed, wake up. Roy thought as he laid there thinking back to the conversation him and Al had.

3 days after the incident in Ed's hospital room

"Colonel! What happened to Ed?!?" Al asked as he walked into the room in his metal body over to Ed's bedside.

"He jumped off the bridge, and I couldn't get to him in time." Roy started as he took a seat next to Ed's bed and looked down. "I'm sorry Al."

"Don't be, you tried. That's all that matters. At least you saved him. He'll wake up soon though, right?"

"Honestly, I don't know Al. They said he his the rock so hard, that it could cause some permanent damage."

"But brothers strong. He'll pull through this. I know it!" Al said clinching his fist and looking directly at Roy.

"Yes, we all know how strong he is. Al, I need to ask you something." Roy said with a look of sadness hidden behind his eyes.

"Yes Colonel?" Al answered picking up his brother's hand in his big armor hand.

"Did you notice anything different with him? Did he say anything or do anything? Do you even have a clue why he could have done this?"

"No sir. The only thing I noticed was, he kept going into the bathroom and locking the door for long periods of time. I asked him if he was OK, he just said he was feeling sick. I believed him. I didn't think twice about it." Al looked down and started to fidget.

"I think I know why he was in the bathroom a lot. Al, when I got here, the doctor's told me that it looked like he got cut up pretty bad. He said there we a lot of deep cuts but what was strange was, they were not bleeding. Then he mentioned they seemed to be to straight to be from the rocks. I told him not to worry about it because he gets cut up a lot when he goes on all these missions. They believed it."

"Oh no. Brother wouldn't do that! I know it!" Al looked over at Ed and started to shake him. "Brother! Wake up! Please! Tell them you are not like that! Brother com..."

Al was cut off by the sound of Ed's heart monitor going off. Ed's heart was beating to fast for his body.

"Oh no! What have I done!" Al screamed as the doctors rushed in and the nurses pushed him and Roy out of the room.

"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to do it! Oh God! I'm horrible!" Al looked around worried with a hint of fear in his voice.

"No Al. Don't worry. This has happened before. You might want to go home and just calm down. Everything will be OK. The doctors will take care of Ed. I'll call you if he wakes up. I promise." Mustang said putting a hand on Al.

Al nodded his head and took off down the all. Gosh, things can't get any worse can they. At that exact moment in time, Roy's heart stopped when he heard Ed's heart monitor go flat lined and all the doctors freaking.

Going through Ed's head

"Where am I?" Ed questioned himself.

"You are in your own world. Your not that surprised are you?"

"What! Who said that?" Ed shouted looking around with fear in his eyes.

"You don't know who I am? Well that's a surprise since you were the one who created me?" A person appeared right before him. Ed took a look, and the boy looked just like him, but he was lot older looking and had longer hair then him, and it was black.

"What? I didn't create anyone!" Ed shouted while he backed away from the person.

"Haha. What a laugh. Do you not remember that little voice in your head that told you to jump?" Ed nodded. "Ah, see you do remember me then. You created me. You got so depressed that I came out. I'm pretty much your dark side." He said with a evil looking smile on his face as he stepped closer to Ed.

Ed backed away quicker putting some distance between himself and his dark side. "Why am I here?"

"Ahhh... That is a very good question. You are here because you tried to kill yourself remember." Ed nodded his head. "You hit a rock and now you are here. Ahhh, do you here that?"

"Come on Ed, please. Try to do something before Al gets here."

"That's... that's Roy." Ed whispered almost making it to were his dark side couldn't hear.

"Ah yes. I do believe it is your lover boy. You know, he's been calling you for 3 days now. I think it's quite funny that some who doesn't care about what happens to you, is begging you to give them a sign that you are still with them."

"SHUT UP! Don't call him my lover boy! It's your fault he is worried sick about me!" Ed screamed.

"Oh come on. You love him and I know it. I know how you look at him when your in his office. I know what you dream about at night. I'm not that stupid you know."

"No! I don't love him... wait... did he say Al was coming?" Ed asked.

"It's about time you realized he said that part. Gosh your dumb." Ed's dark side said crossing his arms and turning his head away.

"I can't believe Al's coming."

"Pay attention you ass, he's here."

Ed sat there listing to Al's and Roy's conversation. Then he noticed a bright light growing at the end of where he was. "What's that?" Ed asked with a confused look on his face.

"Yes, it's about time that got here. Go to it Ed. You will be happy once you get there." His dark side said with a smile on his face.

Ed started to walk towards it but he started to feel all these weird emotions go through him. His heart started to beat uncontrollably.

"Ed! If you can hear us, listen closely. No matter what you do, stay away from a light if you see it!"

Ed stopped in his tracks. "What happens if I goto the light?" He asked while looking over his shoulder.

"Nothing much. You'll die and this whole mess will be over. Everyone can go on with their life. Remember, if you die, the world will keep spinning. Your nothing special Now go!" He stated pointing a finger to the light.

Ed thought for a minute. If I keep going, everything will be over. No one will feel the pain I've caused them. But if I don't, how will Al get his body back? Roy will never know how I feel about him. Gosh!

All of a sudden, Ed heard this loud noise that just didn't stop. Then the light got bigger.

"YES! Your dying Ed. Isn't it wonderful!" His dark side said with a huge smile on his face running up to Ed with his arms out getting ready to push him into the light.

"NO! I'm not going! I want to see Al again! I want Roy to know!" Ed yelled running away from the light. Then the noise stopped, the white light left, and he was standing there alone. Again.

Back in the room with Roy

Roy raised his head up. He hated thinking about when Al came to see Ed. All that happened was just something he wanted to forget. He could never get it out of his mind. Just the fact that he lost Ed for awhile scared him. He doesn't even know how I feel. I guess he'll learn sooner or later.

Roy stood up and walked over to the window. The doctors had been walking in and out of the room all day checking up on Ed and him. They only worried about him because they could tell everything was starting to get to him. They could see the dark circles under his eyes get bigger by the day, and how hard it was to get him to eat something. Sometimes Roy never even touched his food until he knew that Ed had eaten all the liquid food that had been placed into an IV bag and feed to his arm.

He couldn't stand to see him like this. He wanted the whole thing to go away and start from scratch. He wanted to make Ed happy and he was hoping that if they could start all over, then he would keep him from hating him. That's the only choice he really had.

"Come on Ed. It's been a week. I need you to wake up now. I want to see your eyes open. Please. I need it. Only because," Roy gulped. He knew it was now or never while he was out. "I love you Ed."

At that moment, Ed's eyes slowly opened and he turned his head to Roy who just happened to be holding his hand at the time and looking down at the floor. Roy wasn't aware of it yet, but Ed had heard the whole thing.

"What was that Colonel?" Roy heard, and his head shot up to look at 2 big golden eyes staring at him.

Author's Note:

Ok, this one took me longer to write because I had the worst writer's block on the face of the earth. I had friends try to help me, but everything they said, made no sense to the story. Dang my 4th period computer class for not helping. But I guess that's what I get for asking friends in a COMPUTER class to help me write a story when we are better with computers.

But anyways. I actually slightly enjoyed writing this chapter. I think I need to give Ed's dark side a name. Anyone wanna help me with that? I can't seem to come up with anything cool for it. If you do and I use it, I'll give you a cookie

So, anyone have any ideas for the next chapter? I have some, I just want to see what you all would like to happen in the next chapter because I am basically writing this for you all not myself.

And I told you they would get longer. Well, it's not that much longer, but it is longer. I should be asleep. But yeah. Tell me what you think!
