Lilly woke up the next morning with a small head ache. She sat up and the pounding of her head got worse. She got out of bed and without warning, the pain became unbarably. She grabed her head and feel to her knees. Sweat began to come from her forhead as she cryed out in pain. Suddenly memories of Ed and her took over her head. She cryed out as they filled her mind with painful and joyfull times. The pain took over and spead though out her body. Her crys became louder and her tears heavyer. Al and Mustang busted into the room. Lilly's screamed filled their ears as well as the halls. Al and Mustang ran to her, but Mustang stoped them. He pointed to the shield that Lilly had created. Al looked at her helplessly.
"Lilly! Lilly! It's Al! Please let us help!" Al yelled.
Lilly couldn't hear him. The memories blocked out everything. All she could see or hear was the memories. Her screams became louder and louder each time another memory entered her thoughts. She sat on her knees holding her head while Mustang and Al cryed out for her. Soon the room was filled with people calling out to her. Lilly couldn't hear any f it though. She couldn't hear their crys of saddness and helplessness. Lilly's eyes began to glow blue with intensity. The windows in her room shattered and the mirrior and all other glass in her room cracked and eventually broke and scattered across the floor. Everyone shielded their faces as the glass flew on the floor. Some pieces hit their arms and legs but nothing serious.
After almost thirty minutes of nothing but pain, Lilly's screams suddenly stoped. Everyone looked at her as she droped her hands to the floor and looked up. Her face was covered in tears, sweat, sorrow, and pain. Mustang had never seen so many emotions on one person before. To be honest, none of them had. All were shocked. Lilly looked Mustang dead in the eyes.
"Ed...ward....I...." she passed out before she could finish.
Al caught her before she hit the hard floor. He picked her up and turn to face everyone. Mustang walked up to him an brushed Lilly's hair from her face as it suck to her wet cheeks. Riza ran to the bathroom then back out with a wet rag. She wiped Lilly's face. Lilly grumbled alittle then woke. She looked at everyone calmly then began to panick. Al had a tight grip on her as she tryed to brake free.
"Calm down Lilly. Your not well." Al said.
"I...have...to....Ed!!! I have to.....he can't do this!!!" Lilly screamed.
"Lilly! Stop moving!" Al said.
Mustang pulled out a shot and gave it to Riza. She nodded and Mustang helped hold down Lilly. Riza stuck it in Lilly's arm and pushed the liquid in her. Lilly instantly calmed down and looked up at them.
"How...could...you...I...have...to...."
Lilly closed her eyes and fell to sleep.
"Where did you get that, Mustang?" Al asked.
"When I heard her screaming when I was in my office, I grabed it just incase this would happen. Don't worry, all it did was help her sleep." Mustang said. He looked around the room and then at the people in the room. "Clean up the glass and change her sheets. Call someone to repear the windows and mirriors. I don't want anyone calling Ed and telling him this happened."
"But..." Al and Winry objected.
"I don't want him to worry about this right now. We will call him later once Lilly is well." Mustang said looking at Al and Winry. "If he finds out now, there is no telling what he will do. Today is his wedding, he doesn't need this kind of stress." He looked at Lilly. "Take her to Ed's old room and let her sleep."
Al nodded and Mustang watched him and Winry leave. Winry gave him an evil look before she walked out.
I don't want Ed to marry Celine. He belongs to Lilly, but I refuss to stand by and watch Lilly get her heart broken again. She has probably just relized that Ed and Celine are having a baby and are getting married since all her memories have returned. That means she knows that Ed and Celine had a special night together. The pain of knowing that the love of your life has got someone else pregant and is getting married to her must hurt more than ever. She isn't in the right condition to see him right now. I had to make sure that no one would call him. I don't want him to see her. Right now, he doesn't deserve it. I tryed to stop him. I tryed to make him change his mind. But he wouldn't listen.
Riza grabed Mustang's hand. Mustang looked at her.
"You are really worried about her, huh?" Riza asked.
"Evertime I look at her it makes me think about us. What if it was me that was doing that to you? I would never forgive myself. I think that Lilly needs someone with her, someone to tell her that it's ok. But I know that she will never be the same. She will close her heart off and never love again." Mustang said then lead Riza out the room and to his office.
---------------------------------------------------------- ------------------------------------
Lilly woke up and sat up from bed. She looked around the room. Someone had placed her white dress on her bed and a white ribbon. She got dressed and noticed that she was in Ed's room. She looked at the picture by his bed and saw that it was of her and him. She picked it up and silent tears fell from her eyes. She droped the picture and watched it shatter on the floor. Al walked in and sat on the bed. Lilly didn't turn to look at him.
"The address of Celine's home is on his dresser. The wedding is at four today. If you leave now and take the first train, you can make it there before one. I left some money on the dresser by the address. I'll make sure no one sees you leave. Go now." Al said with his head down.
Lilly spun around to face him but he had his hair hidding his face. She ran to the dresser and grabed the money and address. She rand to the door and looked back at Al.
"Thank you, Al...." Lilly whispered then ran out.
Al looked up to catch her dress flowing behind her as she ran out. He smiled.
Go get him, Lilly. Be safe. Be strong. Do what is right.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------
The sky broke and rain poured from it like it hadn't rained in years. Thunder and lighting shook the house as Ed looked out the window. Today he would be marryed. Today he would kiss and pretend to be happy to the girl he did not love. Today he would forget about Lilly and try to make room for Celine in his heart.
He could hear Celine in the other room getting ready. In a few hours he and her would leave for the court house. She would be wearing her simple wedding dress and Ed would be wearing his tux. The guilt in his heart had still not fadded and yet it still had a steady beat. He felt empty and souless. He had only been gone a few days and he was already missing Lilly's smile and magical presence. He could still smell her everytime he walked in town, even though Lilly had never been here. He could still feel her touch each time someone would brush up against him, even though he knew it wasn't her. He still loved her even thought he felt she did not love him in return.
Celine walked in the living room where Ed was. She noticed he was looking out the window lost in his own thoughts.
"Edward?" Celine asked.
Ed turned to face her then put on his famous fake smile.
"Yes?" Ed asked.
"You should get into your tux now." Celine said.
"But we have hours and I don't need to much time to get ready." Ed objected.
"Please just put it on." Celine said with more of a demand than a pleading.
Ed nodded then got up and walked past her to the room. Celine watched him leave the room and weakly smiled to herself.
Now that he is putting on the tux, I will know for sure that this day is real and not a dream. Nothing can go wrong. Nothing will go wrong.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------
Lilly ran thought the rain and pulled out the address to Celine's house. It was smugged and wet but still readable. She was cold and soaked but she really didn't care. She had one thing on her mind and she had to get there before it was to late. She was later that she planed. The trian had to stop since the rain got heavyer. They had to clear the mud off the tracks. So now she was delaided an hour and a half. It was now 2:45 and the time was still ticking. She was having trouble finding a place she had never been to. She was scared of being late. She was scared of losing him once again.
"Where am I? Wasn't I just on this street a few minutes ago?" Lilly said looking at the street signs.
She ran to the nearest house. She knocked on it and stood there waiting. She middle aged woman opened the door and smiled. Her smile fadded once she saw the shivering Lilly.
"My goodness! You'll catch a death of a cold!" The lady said.
"Please Miss. I have to find this address. Can you help me?" Lilly asked holding out the papper.
The lady looked at the papper then at Lilly.
"Come on in and warm up. I will fetch you some warm clothes and some food. My children and husban will be more than happy..."
"Please, I have no time to waist! I must know where this place is!" Lilly begged.
"I am sure that whatever it is can wait untill you are warm and have had some food and a good nights rest." The lady insisted.
"If you can not help me then I will get lost on my own. I have to find this house. This is very important to me. I must get there. Please, can you help me?" Lilly pleaded now in tears.
The lady stared at her and nodded. She looked at the papper that Lilly held out and smiled.
"I know where that place is."
Lilly smiled and felt a little relieved. The lady gave Lilly directions and before she could ask Lilly to reconsider, Lilly was gone. The time was three o'clock once Lilly started out again. She followed the womans directions just as she said and by the time she had gotten to her destination, it was 3:20. Lilly knocked on the door.
Nothing.
She knocked again.
Nothing.
Please! This can not be! I can not be to late!! This can't be it!! No!!
A man next door heard Lilly's banging on the door and opened his door. He saw Lilly banging with all her might as if her life depended on it. He noticed that she was crying even though she was soaked and cold.
"Miss! If you are looking for the couple that live there, they have already left for the court house! They are getting married today!" He called out to Lilly.
Lilly turned to face him.
"Sir, can you tell me how to get there!?! I do not know where it is!!" Lilly called back.
"Yes, it is on the next street over in a huge brick building! You can not miss it!" He called out.
"Thank you!!! Thank you so much!!!" Lilly cryed and started to ran again.
The time was 3:40.
------------------------------------------------------------ ---------------------------------------------------
Ed stood by the judge as he waited for Celine to walk down the asile. He tryed to look happy but he could not pull it off.
------------------------------------------------------------- -------------------------------------------------
Lilly ran to the next street over. She could hear the thunder crash out and threaten to kill.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
The music started and Celine began down the asile. Ed smiled the best he could as his heart screamed at him.
------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Lilly was almost out breath. The court house came into view. Thunder sticked a few feet away from her and she fell on her butt on the road.
------------------------------------------------------------ ----------------------------------------------------
Celine placed her hand in Ed's as she resited her vows. Ed looked at the door as if exspecting to see someone come throw them.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------
Lilly got up and took a deep breath, the sound of the thunder was unison with the sound of her heart beat. She was exhausted and cold. She was sure if she was going to last much longer without passing out.
------------------------------------------------------------- -----------------------------------------------------
Ed watched the door and suddenly saw a image of Lilly and him. They were laughing and smiling. The image changed to them kissing. Then changed again to them making love.
------------------------------------------------------------ ------------------------------------------------------
Lilly forced the pain from her lungs and ignored it. Her legs hurt but she still ran.
------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------------------------------------------
Ed looked back at Celine as she called his name and the images of him and Lilly fadded. He knew it was time to say his vows.
