Faith Isn't Something You Lose

When the church doors opened wide,

She put her veil down,

Trying to hide her tears.

Oh she just couldn’t believe it!

She heard the trumpets from the military band,

And the flowers fell outta her hands….

Baby why did you have to leave me?

I was counting on forever,

Now I’ll never know!

I can’t even breathe.

It’s like I’m looking from a distance,

Standing in the background.

Everybody’s saying he isn’t coming home!

This can’t be happening to me,

This is just a dream…

I did not ask you to help. I did not ask you to come all this way. I did not need the help, I would’ve been just fine! But you had to butt in, you had to be the idiot that you are, didn’t you?!? 

With tears in my eyes, and a heart that is soon to shatter into pieces, I pick you up and run as fast as my legs can carry me. 

“Hold in there!” I scream over the thunder and lightning, memories flashing through my frantic mind. 

I don’t hear a single sound come from you, nothing. Not a word, nor sound. My heart beats against my ribcage and the nausea and despair wash over me.  Just when and where did everything go so very wrong?

Tears roll down my cheeks, wishing I could turn back time.

I rolled my orbs at the short-tempered blondie in front of me, and casually made my way around him. “I don’t have to tell you anything!” I laughed loudly, making a face. Edward Elric shot me a death glare, but not fazing me one bit. “Where have you been Alice Kyoko?!” he shouted again, his fists swaying at each side of his small quivering body. My eyes soften some what when I realized how upset he actually was.

“B-big brother. Leave Kyoko-san alone..” Alphonse pleaded from inside his empty armor.

“Look shorty, I was just taking a long walk. No need to bust a vein, kay?” I sarcastically remarked with a playful grin.

“WHO ARE YOU CALLING SO SHORT THAT-”

I jumped playfully in front of him and flicked him in the forehead, what a hot-head. Jesh, I couldn’t help but love the guy though. If you hadn’t noticed, we were having a ‘fight’. Over what you may wonder? Well, all I do is take a long walk out of town, stay in some hotel for three days and come back a few days later only to be greeted by a; “WHERE THE HELL HAVE YOU BEEN?!” Pleasant really. What was so wrong about wanting to be alone? To have time to think by myself? Honestly, it wasn’t as if I died or anything, Edward should know me by now.

Edward stared hard at me, his golden orbs looking a bit glossy, as if holding back tears.

I felt a pang of hurt attack my heart.

“Look, I’m really sorry, I didn’t mean to worry you. I just went off on a walk for a few days…. To think.” I apologized with a soft gentle smile, I would have never guessed that something so small would’ve worried him so much. “It’s not like I can’t protect myself.” I added with a roll of my eyes and another playful smile. I ruffled his hair and casually sat down under a shady tree. A looked up to observe Ed’s expression, but I couldn’t quite read it. He had his poker face on, and it annoyed me. It annoyed me when I wasn’t sure what was going on, I didn’t like it when my friends held back secrets, I wasn’t nosy. I just feel like I should know when they’re upset, so I can at least help out.
