A/N: Thank you Hope reigns on for leaving a review last chapter! I hope you keep reading and enjoy.

Chapter 11

I'm in front of the door. Should I knock? No, that would make me look stupid, I have a key. Should I be straight with him? Or should I pretend to forget about me telling him? Why is this so hard?

Maybe because I've lived with him and maybe fallen for him, all while lying about my past. I lied to him this whole time, I'm such a horrible person.

I walk in, "Nyx? I'm back", I said hoping he was in the living area and not in the shop. I quickly spotted him on the couch watching his favorite movie while eating snacks.

"Really? I thought you wouldn't have the bravery to come back", Nyx said calmly.

"Why would you think that? I went to the train after all", I said laughing a little.

Nyx just stared at me with a neutral expression. Why must he make this so hard? He seemed better earlier, it could have been a ruse I suppose.

"I'm sorry I didn't tell you earlier, I wanted to but I couldn't. You liked my personality, my attitude, you liked me! But I wasn't honest with you and I can understand if you don't want to see me ever again. I just want you to know I'm sorry and that I'll leave you alone if you want me to", I explained softly.

Nyx stared at me and then started to laugh. I smile, does this mean he's forgiving me? His laughter then turned into a low cry, "Ahsoka, I'm not sure what to say! I fell for you, I thought I loved you and then I find out you lied to me!", he exclaimed.

I look down sadly. He hasn't forgiven me, how could he? I lied to him from the moment we met.

"I understand if you never forgive me, but I think I l-l" - "Loved me back? If you did you would have told me before your friends barged into the shop", Nyx interrupted.

"You're right, I'll leave you alone if that's what you want", I start to tear up. Hold it together for a few minutes Ahsoka!, "I'm sure Tera would let me stay with her", I said.

Please say something Nyx! I want to talk with you.

"I think that would be for the best", he said. I can sense his mind is in a tornado of thoughts.

I nod and go to pack a few things. How could I possibly fix this? Maybe Tera could help… It's not a bad idea but maybe time will help us clear our thoughts. Tera isn't known for her rational plans anyway.

I start to walk out the door when Nyx comes and grabs my arm for a minute, "Ahsoka, don't think this is the end. I need to think, there might still be a chance for us", he said before letting go and closing the door.

Something lights up inside me. I feel happier. Did he say there is still hope for us? Oh my gosh, he said there is still hope for us! Eeeeeh!

Why am I so happy? I guess I did fall for him…

"What!? My favorite couple is having issues! That cannot be!", exclaimed Tera.

"How many times do I have to tell you that we are not a couple", I said, walking into her home, "Thanks for letting me stay".

"If I had known the situation to a more detailed extent I would've said no", she said regretfully.

I sighed, "You can't force two people together, especially if they're fighting", I said.

Tera showed me where I would be staying, the couch, and told me to settle in.

What should I do? I know I shouldn't talk to him, should I? I hate not knowing what to do in a relationship! I might've ruined my chances.

Stop! Don't think about it, you're a great person and he doesn't forgive you, bad for him!

I just need to distract myself…

—

It's been a month and Nyx hasn't said anything to me, it's extremely annoying! I've been helping Tera in her restaurant as a waitress. No one has recognized me or bothered me so far, so that's good.

Tera has been a good roommate, just not as good as Nyx. I miss him… Tera has urged me many times to go and make the first move, but I can't pressure him, he needs to take his time.

That's how relationships work, at least mine do.

It's closing time and there is one table left. I wait for them to leave and then start locking the front door so that Tera and I can finish cleaning the place.

Someone knocked on the door as I was walking away. I turn around, ready to tell this person we were closed when I realized it was Nyx. Finally!

I quickly open the door and welcome him in before re-closing the restaurant. "Hi Nyx, what brings you here?", I ask hopefully, has he finally forgiven me?

"Tera asked me to come", he said calmly. Right, Tera, she's his friend.

"Of course, she's in the back", I said letting him go away.

I sigh and start cleaning tables and chairs. What could he be here for? I'm pretty sure he and Tera hung out at times. In the last few months I'd gone to the train alone to pick up the supplies, so maybe they talked while I was doing that?

I just hope we can get back to our normal life together in the shop, mostly working to pay debts.

I start to clean the floor when Nyx walks out and sits down on a two person table. I guess he's waiting for Tera. I keep cleaning the floor when I see Tera in a spying position. She sees me staring at her and gestures me to go sit with Nyx.

Is this her plan or Nyx's?

I stop cleaning and I sit down in front of Nyx. We stare at each other for a few minutes, neither knowing what to say. Tera eventually got impatient and shouted, "Get on with it already!".

Nyx and I start to laugh at her behavior, "Go away Tera!", exclaimed Nyx between laughs. After a few seconds of laughing the mood lightened, but Nyx didn't say anything.

"So was this Tera's idea?", I asked, "I don't want to force you to talk to me if you don't want to".

"No! I came here because I wanted to talk", he said. According to Tera this is a horrible thing to hear, should I worry.

I start to get nervous, "I'm sure you're here to tell me you never want to see me again", I said awkwardly, "If that's what you want" - "Ahsoka, stop putting words in my mouth, I want to tell you I forgive you", he interrupted.

He forgives me? Is this too quick? Or did it take long? Stop thinking! Take your victories Ahsoka, take your victories.

"Really? I'm, I'm thankful. I'm glad you forgave me, why?", I say curiously.

"Because after thinking about the situation you were in, I kind of understand why you wouldn't want to share that secret. And it really put things into perspective like why you don't like going to higher levels and why you're really good at fighting", he said, smiling slightly.

"I just wished you had told me earlier", he started. I looked ashamed for a moment until he said, "So I could have fallen in love with all of you instead of only a part", he said smugly.

What? Is he being sarcastic? How should I react?

"I'm sorry if I took you off guard, I didn't know how to come talk to you, at first I was mad, then sad, then I thought rationally and realized you were still you. I came here to offer you your room and job back, that is if you want to", he stated. He looked like he was starting to regret coming here.

"Oh, I'd love to!", I exclaimed, "When can I move back?".

"As soon as you're ready, you can even move back today", he said.

I smile brightly, I've been waiting for this! "And what about the whole, relationship thing you mentioned a few months ago?", I whispered. I still want a relationship, but I'm sure we need some time to reconnect.

"I want to get to know more about you before we take that step, you know?", I laugh and nod.

We stand up and hug each other, happy to be talking again.

"Yes! It's about time my ship became true!", shouted Tera, jumping out of somewhere.

"We're not together you know", said Nyx blushing and letting go of the hug.

"Not yet…", Tera said slowly backing away into the kitchen.

I'm impressed yet freaked out at Tera's excitement for other peoples relationships.

Nyx and I made it to the shop - no - we made it home.

I went into my old room and left my things before going into the kitchen to see Nyx making dinner.

"Anything I can help with?", I asked.

"No thank you, you've been getting better at cooking, but I don't trust you just yet", he said laughing, probably remembering the first time I tried to cook.

That was a scary day.

We didn't really talk, but enjoyed each others company.

"Hey Ahsoka, you fought besides the clones and Jedi that came that day, right?", he asked nervously. Where is this going?

"Yes, the one without a beard was my master actually. They were always like my older brothers", I said calmly, remembering the times when we joked with each other in our free time.

"Bro-borthers?", he said getting pale.

"Yeah, are you alright? You're turning white", I said.

"Does that mean they were planning on killing me because I liked their sister?", he said.

Is that really why he's acting weird? Ha! This is hilarious!

"Probably", I said laughing very hard.

"Do you think they'll come back to finish the job?", he said jokingly.

"I doubt it but you never know. I'm sure you've heard about how protective brothers are of their little sisters", I said mockingly.

His face paled slightly at the realization that my 'brothers' were also armed. This is so funny!

I'm glad to be back with him.

The End.

A/N: So yeah, I hope this didn't feel rushed at the end. Feel free to leave a review and I hope you enjoyed my story.

Have a great day! :)
