Its been almost whole year since he left.

Christmas had just passed and my birthday was a week away and then it would soon be Valentines Day the day I now hate. I quit smoking and got my own apartment, I don't drink so much either and I never ever want to start the whole cutting thing again.

Roy isn't in a good mood with me because I bought a run-down grubby apartment with out telling him I think he got used to me staying with him but I needed my own place so he's been in a awful mood lately. I'm a officer now I got everything doted including my training I still need practice but that's all.

The bad thing is Lust and the other's are homunculi again and its hard to keep up with them I hate that they cant be human any more but Dante is slowly rotting away in there basement because the stones only work for them well, when they eat them that is.

I suppose I have my zone out moments and I still miss Envy but I have to face the fact that I drove him away even though everyone says it wasn't me.

I walked into work to see grumpy Roy reading my report on the house fire case I got last week. He grumbled and through it in the done pile.

"Will you cheer up" I said getting annoyed.

"Nope" Was his dull answer. I walked out the door I was fed up of him so I walked away and I heard him get up but I was in the car park within seconds then someone grabbed my arm and pulled me back a bit. I heard a big sigh.

"Sorry… I guess I'm being the pain this time" He confessed I nodded and turned around.

"Its fine just try to stop grumbling so much" I told him.

I walked back in and I had myself a pile of paper work to catch up on. I flopped on the desk bored. My hair flopped with me it was even longer but I was thinking about cutting it. Roy rolled his eyes at me laziness but he was just as bad.

I walked into my grimy apartment and put my bags down. After minutes there was a small knock on the door I opened it to see Alphonse sniffling, Pipsqueak jumped from the bench and ran into the small bed room.

"Hey Al are you okay" I said surprised pulling him in to my apartment.

"I had a fight with Edward" He sniffled miserably.

"Aw Al come on I'll put the kettle on and we can have a talk about it." I said giving him a hug. I wanted to help I mean he was only like eleven and I know how much Edward means to him.

"So what happened?" I asked dabbing at a bruise on his forehead.

"Well, see I think our dad is in this word he was dragged in before us because of Dante and I wanted to talk to him but Ed doesn't want anything to do with him and we got fighting and shouting." He rushed out.

"Its fine Al I tell you what I'll phone Ed and I can talk to him for you" I said smiling.

"Really?" He chirped.

"Yeah" I patted his head and called Ed.

"Hey Edward its Katie Als here you can come get him if you want but I need to talk to you too" I heard him make a frustrated sound.

"Why can tyou just keep out of it!" He snapped.

"Look I am sick of every fucking pissy brat giving me a load of bother I am trying to help Ed something your not familiar with so don't shout at me" I said it in a dark tone and he was scilent.

"Sorry I'm coming now" He said in a low voice.

When he got here Al waited outside for Ed who was just about to leave.

"You should let him see his father Ed even if you dont want to you should let Al" I said softly.

"I know…" He whispered he turned to smile then said good be before walking out the door and closing it.

It was my birthday and the week had flown over. I just went to bed and I slept for a while before getting out of bed and taking a shower then I got dressed and I got wrong of Roy sleeping half the day away.

"I told you I don't want to celebrate" I told him again.

"Why?" He asked.

"Because I just don't" I said he rolled his eyes. That day I got a surprise I walked into my apartment to see a giant bouquet of flowers I walked over and looked at the card.

Happy birthday.. thought this would be alright, now that place you call home might look a bit better.

From Roy

That was sweet of him although the comment wasn't needed but I would phone him to thank him it was nice of him to get me flowers.

" Hi I just got the flower's thanks" I said happily.

"No problem you looked like you needed them." He chuckled.

"Lust wants me to go out with her!" I groaned.

"That's not fair you already turned me down" He said it mockingly.

"I know I don't want to go but she might make me" He chuckled again.

" Should have took my offer" He just wouldn't give up.

"Bye Roy" I laughed at his sigh of disappointment.

I managed to get away from Lust and Roy so I just sat in a relaxing bath and read a book then I fell asleep peacefully.
