I always knew that you'd

Come back to get me

And you always knew that

It wouldn't be easy

To go back to the start

To see where it all began

Or end up at the bottom

To watch how it all ends

You tried to lie and say

I was everything

I remember when I said

I'm nothing without you

Somehow I found

A way to get lost in you

Let me inside

Let me get close to you

Change your mind

I'll get lost

If you want me to but

Somehow I found (somehow I found)

A way to get lost in you (a way to get lost in you)

Three days Grace- Lost in you

Chapter 20- Father before the grave

We stood in front of the man with Ed pulling me behind him. I could tell he didn't want me anywhere near him. The man's eyes were narrowed on us both. "Hello, Edward.. You appear to have grown some." He greeted. Now turning to me he tilted his head. "And who is this?"

Ed turned to me. "No one you should be concerned about." He snarled lowly.

"I spoke with Pinako. You tried human transmutation." Hohenheim spoke.

I gulped and Ed's wide eyes turned to him. He then turned his head away from him. "What makes you think you can show up like this? There's nothing left for you here anymore!" Ed questioned.

"I noticed." Hohenheim answered. "Tell me, Edward. What possessed you to burn down my home?"

"After what happened, we vowed to never turn back... We did it as a symbol of our resolve." Ed answered in a stern voice.

"No you didn't." Hohenheim corrected. "You were hiding the memory. You didn't want to be reminded of what you've done..." He then walked towards us. "And thought you could erase the memory by destroying the evidence."

I grabbed Ed's wrist hoping he would calm down a little. I don't think it was working. "You're wrong!" Ed objected.

"It's just like a child who hides the sheets after he wets the bed. You ran away... And you know it." Hohenheim continued his stare not even changing.

I pulled Ed back a bit and stood between them. "That's enough. Both of you." I muttered sternly. "Come on Ed, let's go." Without a second thought he walked off pulling me with him.

"He makes me sick, to my stomach." Ed growled as he walked away.
