Chapter Six: Thursday

The door creaked open. A tan, female face looked into the room. A soft breathing echoed through the room. It was six in the morning, and she knew Al would send her back to bed if he noticed her being awake. She hadn't been able to sleep. She had gotten two hours roughly. She had been in and out of sleep for some time now, so she had gotten up.

She looked at the male lying in the bed in front of her. She quietly stepped in, and closed the door. A chair was beside the bed, and she realized this was where Al had been, until he went to work. A deep sigh left her lips. He had supported her for all this time. Now, there was nothing she could do to help him. She had spoke with the doctor before, and he stated, grimly, that the medication he required was higher than Ed's and Al's paycheck combined. This had taken effect after the war started. The medicine required ingredients that had been easy to find. Now they were used for treating soldiers, and it was difficult t find any without handing it over.

Again, she sighed. She eased into the chair, and looked at him. In this position, she could see the winces of pain flash across his face. She almost cried. This wasn't right. He was supposed to be strong right? He was the one who had been through so much; he couldn't be broken, right?! He wouldn't die! He couldn't die!

Lifting herself up, Noah began to walk towards the door. She turned around. "Edward…" The next thing startled her.

"Hmm?" A muffled voice came from in front of her.

"W-Were you awake this whole time…?"

His voice also sounded tired. "No…"

"Oh." She sighed out. She couldn't imagine…that…And him being awake!

"D-Did you need something?" His voice cracked.

"N-no…" She choked, holding back the words that felt like spilling out of her mouth. Are you okay?! How do you feel?! Is there anything I can do?! I'm worried about you, Edward! Why wouldn't I be?!!

"I-I was just leaving…" She stated, turning around. She felt sorrow creep through her body. She felt helpless, and like she could do nothing. She felt as if he were to die, it would be her fault. Slowly, she eased the door closed. Click.

Turning around, she almost screamed.

"Is he okay?" There was Alphonse, already dressed. Noah gasped. "Y-Yeah." She had a very startled look on her face.

"I'm sorry, Noah. I didn't mean to frighten you…" He nodded, and headed for the stairs. The front door closed. Bam.

A sigh echoed through the almost empty hallway.

Sorry people! Shortness, I know!! O.o" I'll do better the next chapter! I promise! T.T
