Title: Betrayal
Author: vegemite
Rating: G
Summary: Takes place during RotS, when Obi-Wan tries to convince Padmé to tell him where Anakin is. Obidala, as always!
Disclaimer: I don't own it. So there.
A/N: This was strange for me to write. Basically, the premise is that in the past, Obi-Wan has tried to start a relationship with Padmé, but she told him no. Now he realizes that she's married Anakin, and he feels, well, betrayed. I got this idea when I was watching RotS for the second time on the fourth of July. The way Obi-Wan says "I'm so sorry" sound more angry than genuinely sad...anyway. These are his thoughts.
Betrayal
Tell me
Please
Make this easier
Don't you know it's hard?
Painful
I begged not to be given this task
But it is mine, alone
Please
Don't you know it breaks my heart?
Seeing yours shatter
Like tiny raindrops
Melting away, until--
Nothing.
Let me take this pain
I know it's hard
Just tell me
Why can't you tell me?
No
It's not true!
It can't be!
You
And him
I didn't think this could happen...
Of course I did
Somehow, I've known
Always, I've known
I can't look at you
I don't want to see you
But I have to know
I have to know if all is lost
"Anakin's the father, isn't he?"
Your face says it all
I can't believe...
Why?
How?
You chose him!
You told me you couldn't
But you told him yes
It hurts
My love, it hurts
A poison blade
Thrust into my chest
Ripping
"I'm so sorry."
Only you and I know why
