A/N Okay, I am in French class, and I am supposed to be working, but I need to update my Fics, so I picked this one to do first.
Here we go.

It had been nearly an hour since they had broken the news to Alice. Melody had deeply regretted it, saying that she was too young. But Edward thought otherwise, he said that it was for the best.
Getting worried, Melody excused herself, and walked upstairs to Alice's room. She knocked softly on the door.
''Alice, honey?''
She said slowly, not wanting to upset her daughter. She knocked again,
''Alice open the door please,''
Turning the knob, she opened the door herself, unable to wait anymore.
''Alice?''
She looked around. She peeked in the closet, looked under the bed, and finally noticed the open window.
"Alice….Alice…no no no no no…."
She fell to her knees, taking in the sight before her.
After running for the past eight or so miles, Alice finally gave in, and collapsed in a small bench, just before the tracks.
Her chest was lifting high and low, and it seemed as if, the more breath she took in, it was harder to press them back out.
She glanced down at the watch around her wrist.
11:06
The train should be here in the next ten minutes.
She pushed herself up, and wandered over to the counter.
She stood at the counter.
"Central please,"
The man nodded, and looked down at a little receipt machine in front of him.
"That'll be four dollars, Miss."
Alice nodded, and dug into her pockets.
She finally pulled out a small amount of change, and glanced down at it in her hand.
She smiled weakly at the man in front of her,
"I'm sorry Sir…I only have three dollars..".
The man shook his head, sympathetically.
"I'm sorry, Miss, but that's not going to get you to Central.".
Alice cursed, and shoved the change back into her pockets.
"Don't worry about it,", a voice said, "I'll get it for you,".
Alice turned around to the man.
He wore a long black coat, and his bronze hair was covered by a black silk hat. A small silver chain stretched out across his chest.
"T-thank you, Sir, but you really don't have to,"
He looked down at her, flashing a sweet smile, his matching bronze eyes glittering, his falling hair.
"Please, I insist. And, there is no need to be formal, you can call me Al, ".
"What's taking Mel so long?", Edward questioned after a long while.
Winry shook her head, nursing her coffee.
"I don't know, maybe they just need to be alone,".
Ed shook his head, stubbornly, and got up,
"No. I want to see what's going on."
Winry got up with him, and watched until he disappeared at the top of the stairs.
Reaching Alice's bedroom door, Edward could her Melody's hushed sobs. He walked over to the door, and knocked lightly on it.
"Mel..?", Edward called quietly.
He walked into the room, and noticed immediately the empty room, and open window.
"Melody, what happened?"
Melody got up from her fallen position, and looked over at Edward, anger sketched all over her face.
"You! You and your fucking family happened to my baby!",
There was no doubt, that Winry was going to be in the room, after that.
"Melody, L-"
"No! You listen, you rotten military DOG!"
Edward said nothing,
"She's gone! She's gone! God himself only knows where she is, and it's your fault!! If you had waited to tell her about Alphonse, then she'd still be here!!"
The name itself stung Edward. But again, he said nothing.
"Get out.", she said, her voice was a whisper now.
Edward looked up at her,
"Mel—"
"NO! GET OUT OF MY HOUSE!"
Edward nodded, his face serious. He turned around, and yes, as guessed, Winry stood there, shock written all over her face.
Edward shook his head to her, and walked over to the door frame.
"I will find her, Melody. I promise you that."
Melody let out a loud moan, and fell to the floor again.
Edward left without another word.
