Not All Love Stories Have A Happy Ending

“I love you Ed!”

Those are the words I'm not gonna be able to say.

I wish I could but... I guess I'm not the one for you.

“Hey Winry!”

“Yes (name)?”

“I just wanted to ask... Do you like Edward?”

“W-what? I-I... Wait, why are you asking this?”

“Because if you do, I can help you.”

“Uhm... You don't have to do that.”

“Oh so you really like him!”

“W-what??”

“I caught you already! Don't worry, I would help you.”

Can I really help her if the one she love is also the same person that is in my heart?

“(name)!”

“What is it Al?”

“I have something to tell you about brother.”

“Go ahead.”

“The thing is... Brother likes you.”

What?

“... Al... I- I like your brother too.. N-no. I love him! But... He can't be mine. I'm not for him. He's for Winry. Winry loves Ed as much as I do but... I have to let go. Besides I can't love! I-if I do, I would just... Fail. Many things are happening to my life and if Ed became my boyfriend he could be in trouble too! I can't Al. My mind and life is so messed up.”

“(name).”

“Oh, hey there Ed.”

“I-I have decided to tell you something very important.”

“Important?”

“Yeah... It's because I-I I like you (name).”

T-this is it. What would I do?

“Ed. I'm sorry but... I can't love you.”

“...”

I started to tear up. I can't even look at him directly. I don't want to see him hurting.

“I-it's okay. I can't force you to love me.”

“I'm sorry Ed... But there's Winry right? I'm really sorry. You might think I'm the one for you but... You're wrong. Edward. I know that someone will love you. Someone will be happy to live and have a family with you. But someone isn't me... That someone is Winry. I-I'm really sorry Edward.”

I couldn't stop my tears from falling as I walk away from you. Why does this even have to happen? I could have loved you. I shouldn't have hurt you and leave you like this. But if I did... Someone... Someone would be upset. I don't want anyone to be upset just because of me.

Still. I'm so wrong. Now my life is just so messed up. I broke your heart. I rejected you. I made you sad, regretful, and felt left behind.

But Ed... If only you know... I love you so much. But I hope... I hope... I hope that you would be happy and alright.

I'm really sorry Ed. I can't do this to Winry.

~ ~ ~

I walk on the carpet towards Ed. I should be happy but... I can't. I tried to smile but only a fake one appeared.

As I reached the front I went to the designated area. And now, there's the entrance of the bride.

And yeah, I have completed my promise to my bestfriend. In an exchange with a broken heart.

Winry is so happy. Why wouldn't she be. She's now marrying the man of her dreams.

And now, I'm left alone. I promised myself that I would never love anyone again. I know it would be a bad idea but I just don't want to hurt anyone anymore. Like how I've hurt Ed...

I'm still regretful of it so I don't want that to happen again. The important thing now is...

He's already happy.
