To Care

A/N One-shot. Luke thinks about his father after Bespin...he tells himself that it dosen't matter to him if his father is dead or still alive. He dosen't care. Is that an emotion of the Sith? Does he truly care if it is? Not a song-fic, loosely based of I Don't Care by Apocalyptica. R&R!

Luke Skywalker was very reckless and care free-until about a week ago. That was when he was told the "truth" about his father. You know, the man who had been his hero for twenty years, well apparently...it was just another lie. For his "hero" father, was Rebel Enemy #2...next to only the Emperor himself.
Darth Vader.
Luke was taking this more than a bit roughly, it just wasn't fair.
He tried to make it through his life, and he had done well even after his aunt and uncle had died. Now there was a new obstacle in his way-Vader.
All of his life, Luke had innocently believed whatever anyone had told him about his life-his parents, but now his main focus was to try to see through the web of lies that everyone had spun around him for the past twenty or so years.
A small part of him dosen't deny that this is the truth, and to his horror as time goes on the less and less he tries to fight this part of him. No matter if it's difficult to grasp, Luke has to deal with it...it's just a part of understanding the truth.
However, the other part of Luke thinks a bit differently. It screams through the Force, that he dosen't care. He dosen't give sithspit whether or not his father really is dead, or still alive! Why should he? His father obviously dosen't care what happened to him-or he'd be here.
If Vader is his father...it dosen't change anything, all Luke wants is for "dear dad" to leave him alone, that's all. It's too late to win Luke's favor now. He knows that Vader tries to make him see it from the Sith's point of view, but it's probably just another lie...right?
Luke feels as though his feelings are burrying him, he has no room to move...everyone's in his face, and all he wants is for them to go away. Still, Luke dosen't care if his father's dead, or alive. He thinks, is this uncaring, anger, an emotion of the Sith? Saddly enough if it is, he dosen't care about that either.
He feels himself changing, and it's all Vader's fault...is he just growing up, or is he becoming something dark, like his father?
He wishes he could care, but he just can't; not after all that happened.
Maybe one day he will.
A/N How bad was it?
