Disclaimer: the anime or its characters do not belong to me. Enough said.

I'm back with the sequel to my first story; I'm the One Who Was Wrong. I'm sorry I took so long in posting it up, but I had a huge writer's block on this chapter, hence why it's so short, and I was writing other stuff.

I guess this story can be read by itself, but I don't know.

I'm going to try writing this from certain people's point of view to see how it is. Tell me if you like it or not.

Thank you to anyone who reads and/or reviews this fic. I appreciate it greatly.

CHAPTER ONE – COPING WITH THE LOSS

I walked into the house with groceries in my arms. I almost dropped them trying to get through the door. It was quiet. I set down the bags on the kitchen table.

"Winry!" I called from where I stood. "Come help me put away the groceries."

I received no answer.

I tried again…

No answer.

I became suspicious. Where's Winry? I went up the stairs and stood in front of Winry's room. I knocked. Nothing. I put my ear to the door and heard sniffling and short sobs. I sighed. I hated seeing her like that. She was so depressed without him.

"Winry," I said softly. "It's me, Alphonse. Are you okay? Do you want me to come in?"

After a minute, I finally got a response, "I don't feel too good, Al. I think I should rest."

"Are you sure you don't want to talk or anything?"

"No. I'm just a little tired."

"Okay." I walked back downstairs. It had been this way for a while now; Winry and I would be having a good time laughing and reminiscing about positive things then, I would leave to do something and would find her crying. It saddened me. She missed brother so much it killed her inside. I was hurting too.

It had been a few months since I got my body back, since Ed disappeared. It was hard on everyone. We're trying to move on step by step, but something in the house always reminds us of Brother. It could be a shirt, a hair tie, or an old alchemy book.

I returned to take a break from my training and to see Winry and Pinako. We had diner together and they asked how my training was going and things along that line. I helped out after we ate and got ready to go to sleep. I went to wish Winry a goodnight.

I found her in her room looking out the window. I watched her. I knew who she was thinking about.

"Alphonse, do you really think Edward is still alive?" she asked, still looking out the window at the stars.

I sat on her bed. "Yes, I do. I can feel it in my bones. I know he's out there somewhere."

"Yeah, I can feel it, too in my heart and soul."

The room went silent. I knew about Brother and Winry being together. I could tell that right away after getting my body back.

"I miss him so much." Winry voice cracked on the last words. She began to cry. I stood and gave her a hug. She cried on my shoulder.

"Don't worry Winry, I know he's trying to find a way to get back to us, somehow. He wouldn't leave us alone like this. He wouldn't leave you alone." I rubbed her back.

I hope she can get through this. I thought.

&&&

Things were just so difficult without him. I loved him. No…I love him. I can't keep thinking he's dead. I know he's alive. I know he is somewhere thinking about me. About all of us.

I miss his arm around me, his body heat, his gold hair, his amazing self. Everything is so much darker without him. Without his presence, I feel like I'm dying slowly.

But I have to think positive. I have to push all the horrible possibilities of Ed never coming back to the side. I have to put all of my faith into believing that Ed will return.

And he will.

Author's Note: sorry it took me a while to put this up, writer block. yeah and sorry it's so short but the next chapter will be longer. And in the next chapter we'll get to see Ed and what he's up to. Thanks for reading and I hope you R&R.
