After about 15 minutes of being beaten up, the men finally left.
Well, they were chased off by the Galactic Police.
"Are you okay?" I could hear footsteps and a very kind voice approaching me. I lifted my face off of the ground and then noticed a large red puddle on the ground. I reached up and touched my lips, my nose, and my forehead.
Blood.
All over my face.
"Ouch. You better get that cleaned up. Here, we'll take you down to the hospital."
"No. It's okay. I'm fine." I groaned as the two police men helped me up off the ground. One grabbed onto my left arm and I cried out in pain.
Sith.
I may have broken my arm!
"Whoa. Hey. You're…You're Senator Leia Organa!" One of them said.
I smiled as big a smile as I could manage. "Yes. The one and only."
"Why are you all the way out here?"
"It's a long story." I sighed, brushing the brown hair out of my face.
"I have time." He grinned.
"Okay. I guess you aren't going anywhere until I tell you the story." I smiled again.
"Nope." He shook his head and I looked at the other police man in back of me.
"I'm not leaving either." He said, crossing his arms.
"Okay fine. See, as you know, I am a senator for the Galactic senate, right?" I asked, and they nodded their heads. "Well, I have meetings as everyone else does, but…but I've had so many meetings the past couple of days that I've had no time for anything…or anyone. See, I have a boyfriend. Han Solo."
"Whoa. Whoa. Whoa. Han Solo?" One of the police men asked, shaking their hand at me.
"Yes." I responded.
He grinned and then laughed. "Okay. Okay. Go on, continue." He said, leaning back up against the post that he was originally leaning on.
"Uh, Okay." I said, giving him a peculiar look and then continuing. "With all of my meetings, I had no time for him. I finally had time for him near lunch time and I went to go and patch things up with him, but…he…he yelled at me and didn't believe that I had meetings. He believed that…that people thought that I was too good for him, and I made up excuses not to spend time with him. So anyways, he yelled at me and then told me to go home and I got back to my apartment and then the next morning I found a note on my fridge that said that he would be leaving and that he didn't believe that I loved him. So I ran out of my apartment and ended up here just as his ship was taking off. I bent down on the floor and started to cry. Then those men walked over and then started to beat my up." I said, accidentally turning my left arm. "OWW!!!" I hollered out in pain and the two police men ran over to me and held onto my thighs.
"You all right?"
"My arm…" I said, and they took one look at it and then nodded at each other.
"Broken." They said at the same time.
"Come on sweetie, lets get you to the hospital to get that arm looked at. No meetings for you today." They helped me into the speeder and then drove to the hospital.
This day just got worse.
Three Hours Later with Mon Mothma…
"Where is that girl?!?!?" Mon screamed, pacing the floor of the meeting room.
"She probably just forgot."
"No, this is not like Leia to forget about a meeting! She's never missed one, and is very loyal to me and the Galactic Senate!"
"Can't we just start without her?" One senator complained.
"NO! We can't! It's Leia's presentation that we're seeing today, no one elses!"
"Maybe she thought that the amount of meetings that we had was overwhelming and decided not to show up." One of the senators suggested, hoping to get out of the billions of meetings that were scheduled over the weeks.
"NO! That's not it either!"
"Well she did miss last night's meeting."
"That girl better have a good excuse of why she's not here!!!" Mon screamed at the senators sitting around the table.
Back with Leia…
"You're free to go." The doctor said and I got up, thanking him, and ran out of the building, limp and all.
I am already 30 minutes late for my meeting.
I am so fired.
I entered the Meeting House and approached the senate room door. Faintly, I could hear Mon screaming at the other senators.
Yeah, I'm dead.
I opened the door and then walked in.
"LEIA!! YOU BETTER HAVE A GOOD--- my god!" Mon gasped, running quickly over to me.
I still had my bed head, and my t-shirt and fighter pants on, but the doctor's had willingly given me a pair of boots to wear. They probably felt sorry for me. Apparently, the police men had told the whole hospital my story. I had a sling for my broken arm and cuts up and down my arms with a couple nasty bruises and wounds on my face.
"Are you okay??"
I just looked at her and then started to cry.
The tears that I had kept in for so long finally came out.
Mon pulled me into a hug and rocked me in her arms from side to side. "What happened?"
"Han."
"Han did this to you."
Yes.
That's what I wanted to say. "No. These thugs beat me up. Han, he broke me on the inside."
So there's the chapter. The next chapter will be in Han's POV….if any of you guys are interested. I only have one thing left to say….REVIEW!!!
