Hi guys! I'm really glad you enjoyed the last chapter.
The whole sister zoned thing was something I experienced before and putting it into words felt really real to me so I'm super thankful for your kind reviews. And I feel your pain with their relationship haha but don't worry!
"Are you stupid?" Chirrut started off without restraint. He started off bluntly but it was the perfect way to start to get through his thick skull.
Chirrut didn't even give Cassian time to reply
" she's crying on that other side of the door you do know that right?"
Cassian's eyes widened as he looked at Jyn's door. He slowly tried to get up and comfort her but Chirrut pushed him down with his staff.
"Nuh uh my friend. Not yet. You can't barge in there until I teach you a lesson so you don't mess things up once again"
Chirrut had had enough with these two
"Cassian you are hurting not only yourself, but also Jyn by deny yourself the right to be happy. This is your last day of break before work starts up again and this is how you choose to end it?"
Cassian finally found an opportunity to say something " I don't know Chirrut. I honestly have no idea what I'm doing"
"Exactly! You don't know what you're doing because you've never loved before like this! But my friend don't deny yourself from being open to learning.
Look, I know you have your issues but so does Jyn. But she loves you anyway. Get your stupid Heart out of your rebel head back into you chest where is belongs.
Stop censoring your feelings, this isn't war, it's just Jyn, a girl, who you love.
Do you still forget the kiss she gave you on the Beach?!"
Cassian started to feel the guilt setting in for causing Jyn to hurt so much.
"What exactly did you tell her tonight? Because according to how sad I sense she feels, it wasn't very good" Chirrut tasked
"I told her how much she meant to me... that was true. But I said I cared for her like a sister" Cassian confessed
Chirrut's face lost all emotion. His eyes were already blank as always but his expression turned completely solid.
Cassian looked towards Chirrut worried but then he replied.
"Cassian the pain of being close yet so far is almost unbearable. She loved you but you limit her to arms reach for your love. Deep down she knows you love her too and her hope was strong. Tonight crushed that. Please Let her in my friend. You'll be set free and so will she if you allow her into your heart. You'll be free Cassian if you do this. Let go of your past pains from love and betrayal. I know for certain if you accept Jyn she will never leave you. Ever. "
Cassian thought hard about his actions and stupidity. He decided Chirrut was right all along. He knew Jyn loved him and that he loved her. He was just too afraid of pain that he inflicted it upon himself and Jyn in attempts to avoid it.
"Stop doing this to yourself. Please. Let yourself love for once dammit. And stop hurting her and making her be the one to start something. You're a captain. You should be brave enough... you need to" Cassian thought
He got up and made his way to Jyn's door. He was going to do this. Determination covered his face and composure. He grabbed hold of the handle and began to ever so slightly twist it before Chirrut stopped him once more from reaching Jyn.
Cassian glared at him with a mix of anger and confusion "What the Heck!? Why are you stopping me after telling me not to stop?!"
"Jyn has fallen asleep. Don't wake her. But you will go to her. You will fix this. You will work this out and finally admit to her that you love her. It's the least you can do. Honesty is what all people deserve.
Tomorrow is the time. If you delay this any longer there may be consequences you both regret. Sleep on all this. Peace is found once honesty is found "
Chirrut walked away after that leaving Cassian alone.
"Okay. It's tomorrow or never. You're going to hate yourself if you don't " Cassian whispered aloud as he made his way back to his room
Jyn woke up realizing she was still on the floor. Her back ached from the awkward position and her eyes were puffy. They were still red from the night before and she noticed she had left the flowers without water but they seemed ok
She picked them up and placed them in a vase inside her bathroom. She couldn't bring herself to get rid of them despite the pain it brought when she looked at them.
She didn't want to leave her room for breakfast but she knew she couldn't act this way. She couldn't avoid Cassian.
She accepted she'd rather have him as a friend than remove him from her life completely.
She opened the door to her room and as she stepped out she bumped into something... actually someone.
It was Bodhi. "Hey Jyn Cassian's looking for you"
"Oh do you know why" Jyn asked
"I'm not entirely sure but he's out at the lake again and he asked me if I would tell you he's there." Bodhi informed her
"Oh ok. Thanks for telling me I'll head over there right now"
Bodhi walked away to the end of the hall making a right. Baze was there
"So did you tell her?" Baze asked.
"Yup I did. She's on her way there now" Bodhi answered
"Good. Hopefully Chirrut got to Cassian. I swear if it doesn't happen here I'll be the one to knock some sense into Cassian and I'm not at nice as Chirrut"
Baze replied half jokingly but also half serious
Cassian was on his way to breakfast when suddenly a staff came out of nowhere causing his chest to collide with it. He staggered backwards feeling slightly dizzy and in shock from the sudden stop.
He knew it was Chirrut so he wasn't angry, just confused.
"What now Chirrut? I know already. You want me to tell Jyn and I will ok... eventually" Cassian whispered the last part
"Jyn's looking for you. She's at the lake where you went last night. I suggest you go to her my friend. She's waiting" Chirrut said ignoring what Cassian said
"Oh ok thanks" Cassian left making his way towards the lake.
"I wonder what she wants to talk about" sweat began to fall from his temples and his heart rate began to increase
Chirrut walked out of the hallway meeting up with Bodhi and Baze.
"This is it. May the force be with them" Chirrut said with complete faith the two would work things out
Baze and Bodhi just nodded their heads hoping for a positive outcome. They all eagerly waited for Jyn and Cassian's return.
