Rey sat in the pilot's seat in the Millennium Falcon, starting out the window. She could her the thrumming of the engines as they hurled through hyperspace. She couldn't help but sit and think of the events of the last 24 hours. How had everything gone so wrong? Luke had said, "This isn't going to go the way you think it will" and maybe she should have listened. She couldn't help but wonder what she could have done differently to make Ben.. she stopped that thought in its tracks. Best not to think about him right now. They needed to find shelter away from the First Order and away from him.

Rey was so lost in thought that she didn't hear anyone behind her. "You doing okay in here?" She jumped at the sudden noise and turned to see Poe. She had just met him while leaving Crait but had heard so much about him already from Leia and the other members of the Resistance. "Yea. I'm good. Thanks." She replied. Poe walked over and stat in the co-pilot's seat to her right. "You are an amazing shot. You took those TIE's down so quick. I must say I'm quite impressed." Poe said, while fiddling with some of the controls and smiling. Rey didn't quite know what to say. The days events had left her tired, broken and numb. "Thanks. Chewie made it easier for me with his piloting skills" she replied. Poe just smiled and laughed at her remark.

Being new acquaintances, they didn't have much to say and the two sat in silence for a while. Poe could tell by looking at the girl that she was having trouble with the events that unfolded before her. He watched her silently as she sat in the pilot's chair with one knee raised to her chest and her arm wrapped around it holding it close to her. She rested her forehead on her knee but her eyes stayed open. She was definitely lost deep in her own thoughts. He couldn't help but think that she was a pretty little thing. The first thing he noticed was how petite she was but how she radiated this strength and light. And those eyes. She had these beautiful hazel eyes that you could get lost in. Poe realized he was staring at her and quickly looked away. "Why don't you head back and get some rest. I can take over for a while." He said to her. He knew she was tired and needed a break from everything. Those hazel eyes looked up at him and with a small thankful smile. "Thanks Poe. That's probably a good idea." She stood up and patted his shoulder before she left the cockpit and headed out in to the common area.

Rey walked around seeing what little of the resistance remained. She couldn't believe that this was all that was left. A handful of people, a couple of force sensitives, and broken light saber. How were they supposed to come back after this? The First Order basically got their wish and nearly knocked out the Resistance completely. But she still had hope. Leia had told her that we had everything we needed to rebuild and rebuild they would. They would make the Resistance strong again and they would continue to fight. Rey could see that almost everyone was asleep in the common area. Most of them on the floor and a couple on the bench near the holochess table. She could see that Finn had fallen asleep next to the girl, she thought her name was Rose, that was injured on Crait. Looking at them made Rey's chest feel hollow, like there was a piece of her missing. Like he was missing. She shook her head, mad at herself. Could she not even go a minute without thinking about him?!

She continued out of the common area quietly as to not wake anyone. She headed down the empty passageways of the ship and found a small room containing supplies and relief overcame her. This was perfect for some time alone where she could rest and think with no one to bother her. She hated being alone on Jakku and couldn't stand the abandonment she had suffered for 15 years, but now she was surrounded by friends and allies and it felt like too much. She sometimes felt like she couldn't breathe and that she just needed the quite emptiness that she used to have in her dilapidated AT-AT on Jakku.

Rey walked into the storage room and rested her back against the wall that was facing the door. She slid down until she was sitting with her knees up with her elbows resting on them. She held her head in her hands and sat there listening to the sound of her own breathing. She was to entranced in her own thoughts that she didn't feel him appear in front of her.
