Disclaimer: I own nothing. On with chapter 4!
When Anakin arrived at Padme's quarters, he discovered she was out, so he sat down to wait for her return.
~Three quarters of an hour later~
Anakin finally heard the swish of the door announcing Padme was home. She was surprised to find someone in her apartment, and then grinned when she saw it was Anakin. Her smile quickly faded as she saw Anakin's expression. She walked to the table and set her packages down, trying to act like nothing was wrong.
"Hello, Ani," she began, but he quickly cut her off. "Where have you been?" he demanded harshly.
Puzzled, Padme indicated the packages. "I've been out shopping, Ani. I'd have been back sooner, but I," Anakin cut her off again. "The Council knows. About us. I want to know how they found out."
Padme went white. "Obi-Wan," she whispered. Anakin shook her. "What did you say?"
"Obi-Wan. He was here yesterday..It just came out, I didn't mean to..." she trailed off lamely.
Silence as Anakin absorbed this. Then he slapped her. Hard. Tears sprang to Padme's eyes as she raised her hand to her cheek.
"You told Obi-Wan?! How could you be so stupid, Padme?" Padme was now crying too hard to speak, and Anakin picked her up and shoved her up against the wall. His verbal tirade continued as he used the Force to pick up furniture, dishes, whatever he could find and hurl them around the apartment in an insane kind of twister. He finally released Padme and she sank to the floor, sobbing hysterically, as Anakin stepped over her to leave.
A/N: I went on and posted the next chapter, since it might be a while before I can update again. It might be sooner if I get a decent number of reviews, so click that button! *puppy dog eyes* This a good place to leave you for a while anyway, right? *grins evilly*
