Okay after reading the first 3 chapters I think the disclaimer has sunk in by now.

He woke up hearing a beep. His eyes opened slowly, the unfamiliar ceiling told him he defiantly wasn't at home or at Lings. He turned his head sideways in the direction of the beep he seen the monitor that beeped with every beat of his heart. Beside that was a bag on a tall holder dripping slowly. The bed table had flower's on it he counted, there were 13, 2 red, 3 yellow, 3 pink, 3 white and one black rose aside a dark blue rose. The rose color was the same as the hair of the one he had spent the night with. He smiled at the thought of it wonder who it was from. He needed water to wash the stickiness from his mouth. He pressed the call button on the bed rail and was relieved that he didn't feel pain. Several minutes later the nurse appeared.

"Oh that's great you are awake. We will get most of that stuff off of you soon just be patient okay. Is there anything you need now?"

Ed pointed toward the bottle of water sitting on his stand. She opened it stuck a straw in it then placed the straw to Ed's mouth; he drank it down. "Thank you can I see the card on the flowers." His voice was very rough.

"They are quite pretty and I have never seen an arrangement like that before. Well I will be back to get the monitors off you in a bit." She handed the card to him.

"What day is it?"

"It is Thursday."

Ed nodded to her and opened the card

Hope you are alright and get well soon

It was the same writing as the piece of paper that was stuck in his phone. He really wanted the man now but how had he known he was in the hospital. It was almost an hour when the doctor came and talked to him; he was finally free from the monitors.

He finally walked the first time in almost 6 days. He walked toward the bathroom and caught a little bit of movement inside. He turned on the light to be staring at himself in the mirror his face was dotted with purple and yellow marks there was three cuts on this left cheek it just reminded him of who did this to him. The class ring he himself bought Al had always had a sharp place on it and now he received wounds from the precious gift he gave his brother just a couple months earlier.

"Mr. Elric?" The doctor was behind him now. "I think it will be okay to discharge you."

"Thank you." It was going to be difficult to go home now. The last word's he heard from Al's mouth was that his girlfriend was pregnant. Ed looked at the mirror again. Will he be able to go back home now that Al was totally upset at him and what was he going to do about the girl.

He soon found himself dressing to leave, it was the first time he had gotten to see all the bruises from his night of ecstasy he really did look as if he had been beaten. Oh well at least they were covered his face was a different situation. He was guessing it was Ling that left him a clean change of clothes. Sometimes that guy was a mind reader. He was finally discharged a little before 12 pm. He needed to pick up his medicine from the pharmacy and the school was pretty close to the pharmacy and he did need to turn in his doctor's note.

By the time he got there it was after 2. The receptionist gave him a strange look here he was looking pretty beat up but was carrying around a vase of roses. They took the note and dismissed him. He went to all his classes to try to gather all his missed assignments, again many strange looks from everyone. Now was the class he dreaded but was also excited to go see since Ling would be totally surprised to see him. He quietly knocked on the door.

"Enter."

He sheepishly opened the door hiding behind the flowers. He sat them down on one of the empty front row seats.

Ling jumped up. "Hey you should be at the hospital, now turn around and get your ass out."

He shoved the discharge papers in front of Ling "Woke up this morning got discharged. I came to get the rest of my home work assignments and get a ride home from you." There was only 5 more minutes left of class. "Can I get my assignments Mustang Sensei?"

The sensei gave him a concerned look which Ed had never seen. He was normally the indifferent teacher with the personality of a rock. He took his eyes off of Ed and wrote quickly scribbling down the past assignments then fished out a few papers then handed the bundle to him. "Don't forget to study for your exams next week."

The bell rang Ed started out the door. "Ed." Ling was standing there against the sensei's desk.

"Ling come on I want to go home and go to bed." Ed turned to leave again and abruptly ran into someone; he landed with his butt on the floor. He looked up to see Mustang Sensei stepping out of the door in front of him quietly shutting it.

"What the hell? Let's go Ling."

Ed glared at Ling then at the Sensei in front of him.

"Look he talked to Al for me and even went with me to get your things from the house."

"What are you doing with my stuff?"Ed was mad now he was charging at his friend full speed.

"Ed, Stop!" the tone was one he knew well out of instinct he grabbed the origami hat off the desk.

"It's best if you stayed away from Al for a bit so I moved your things to my house for now and when this all blows over then you can go back and live with Al."

Ed stared at the paper hat that was in his hands. "Fine whatever." He was tired and didn't care right now.

Okay review if you can.
