I had to admit it... I was really happy when Jane first proposed me her idea! But all of this exciting stuff literally faded away when she (should I precise Loneliness?) used my body to literally do what she wanted? Doing shopping, spending my pocket money away in sweets!! That was killing me inside, mostly because I had to stay in a corner of my mind to watch everything, with Jane, who seemed more amused. But it also had good sides, like having three brains instead of one. During a test, they could think with me and that highly contributed to improve my grades. No, that wasn't cheating!! That was... something else. And no one ever noticed, except the teachers who thought it was weird I suddenly got better. One day, I looked at the cards Jane gave me. I never had the need to summon any of the FMA character; I knew those were precious cards to use when we would defeat Jessica... And I never used alchemy until now.... I decided it was time to use my knew powers. So without any hesitation, I headed toward my mom's most precious vase, grabbed it, and threw it on the floor. Of course, it shattered into hundreds of pieces. And I heard Loneliness laugh in my mind.

-Oh my god!! Ah, Jane, she's so naive!!

Huh? What did that mean??

-She really did think she could use alchemy without learning!

I fell from high. Really high at this moment. What? I thought I would do like Edward! Without any circle!! Then that sucked.... Learning wasn't my favorite thing to do....

-Loneliness, don't be so rude!! Kathleen, remember you was the gate! Jane reminded me.

That meant Loneliness was a very good liar. If I could have her right I front of me!! I sighed, clapped my hands hesitantly and slammed them on the floor next to the pieces of the vase... Unsuccessfully.

-I don't understand.... I muttered trying again and again.

-She doesn't have the "thing".... Loneliness commented.

Which thing?? Why did no one explain me instead of laughing at me?!

-I'm scared she doesn't.... Jane sighed.

My mom was going to be furious!! Oh well.... Before alchemy, there was glue. I gathered all of the broken pieces and tried to fix the vase with krazy glue, what, I had to admit, was quite useless.

-I'm home!! a feminine voice called.

Crap, it was my mom....

-But.... Where is my vase?

I forgot to breath when she entered in my room and found me on the floor with the rest of her vase....

-Kathleen!!! You broke it??? My vase??

-Um.... kinda.....

***

-It sucks!! Loneliness laughed.

-Shut up!! I don't even know why I had this idea... I groaned.

-Your fault though!! the homunculus replied, you should have been more responsible~

I hated when she took that teasing voice to tell me what to do. Mostly when I was locked in my room without a chance to eat this evening.... Sometimes, I thought my mom was cruel.

-You told me I'd have alchemy!!! I protested, and I don't!! Explain me now!!

-Calm down, Jane advised me, getting angry won't get you anywhere.

-Of course for you it was easy!! I replied.

-No. I had to learn.

-Pfffff, how can you criticize then??

-Talking about that now won't help the situation and you are unable to speak calmly, let's stay here for now, Jane said.

I didn't hear her anymore during the entire evening. She was good at keeping quiet! Not like Loneliness, who talked and laughed without being able to stop. My stomach growled. I was hungry but couldn't eat!! How unfair.... I climbed into my bed in hope sleeping would make me forget my hunger, but no way. Suddenly, someone knocked on my door.

-Unlock it and come in! I sighed.

It was my brother!

-I bring you some stuffs for your stomach, he teased me.

I dove to his feet.

-You're the best brother ever!!! I cried.

It was his turn to sigh.

-Whatever, now tell me why the hell did you break mom's vase??

-Well that's a long story....

And I started to tell him about what happened during our fight, how I fell in the white room, the gate, the truth, Jane, Loneliness, Jessica..... maybe his brain wasn't ready to receive a so large amount of informations because I could feel him getting both suspicious and... not following my words at all.

-Hey Jayce!! You listen to me?? I called him.

-Well that seems a bit.... off no?

-How can you say that?? Believe me!!!

-It's not I don't believe you but it's hard though.....

I crossed my arms angrily, looking away.

-You're mean. You think I'm crazy and schizophrenic on top of that.

-Maybe a little...?

I threw a pillow to him and pushed him out of my bedroom.

-How can you even think of your sister that bad?!?! You are the one crazy here!!! You jerk!!

-Wait Kathleen!!!

-No!!!

I slammed my door and was the one to lock it this time. Then I turned myself toward the plate he brought me and sat on my bed. After all....

-You're a walking stomach.... Loneliness noted while I was eating.

-What?? I'm simply enjoying my meal! And not even Jayce will stop me!

It really was hard living with two other people in my mind.... really.

//yo!!!! I know this chapter is a lot shorter than the others but I hope you'll forgive me!! See ya!!
