Wow this was really deep and sad. A twisted ending, the way it shouldn't be. Iloved it. Your explanations of Al's feelings and Edward's reactions were really good and interesting. I can see why Ed could not stand the sight of Al. Guilt is a terrible thing indeed.
Was it a one-shot? Congratulations anyway.

nice. this a fantastic drabble. a really grim and hurting way of looking at things, too. great job!
