Who Knew

You took my hand
You showed me how
You promised me you'd be around
Uh huh
That's right
I took your words
And I believed
In everything You said to me
Yeah huh
That's right

Padme layed awake in bed, the tears flowing freely out of her eyes. This was how it had been every night since he left. The person most important to her was gone forever. She only had two beautiful children to remember him by. She never knew someone could feel so helpless…so alone. He left her for the dark side, to server everything they had fought against. Her mind couldn't stop screaming WHY? She had loved him so much. Every inch of her loved him unconditionally. She knew that he loved her too. The way he looked at her said it all. Those beautiful sapphire blue eyes would stare at her with such love and compassion, she was the happiest woman alive. But now only sadness surrounded her. When she closed her tired eyes all she saw was Anakin and herself having a picnic, swimming, confessing there love for one another at there wedding, and making love. She missed his gentle touch so much. She craved for him. She would never be the same.. Never complete. The tears wouldn't stop. Her pillow was soaked. She still remembered her last conversation with her husband before she lost him completely.

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong
I know better
Cause you said forever
And ever
Who knew

Remember when we were such fools
And so convinced and just too cool
Oh no
No no
I wish I could touch you again
I wish I could still call you friend
I'd give anything

Padme ran off her ship as fast as her 9 month pregnant body would let her. Anakin ran up to her and embraced her in his strong arms. " Oh Padme what are you doing out here?" he said true concern showing in his eyes. She took a deep breath and fought back tears.

"Anakin please tell me its not true." He looked at her seeming confused.

" What are you talking about love?"

" Obi Wan told me terrible things… you had killed younglings, that you had joined the dark side, Please tell me that he is mistaken." she pleaded not being able to stop the tears that were flowing. Anakin simply leaned down and captured her lips in a passionate kiss. The last kiss she would ever receive from him. She kissed him back with all the love she had in the world. Anakin pulled back and said " I'm doing it all for you love."

Padme gasped. This couldn't be happing, this was not her Anakin. " I'm doing this to save you, you must join me and serve as my queen. We can rule the galaxy exactly the way we want to.. This is what we have always wanted." he said his eyes turning slightly red. Padme shook her head as more tears fell. " Anakin what are you talking about? All I want is your love.. All I need is your love, come away with me and raise our children, they need you in there lives." Anakin seemed unmoved by her words. He simply shook his head and said " My place is here. I am becoming more powerful than any Jedi could imagine. I will have the power to save you Padme." She continued to stare with tears in her eyes at the man she once called her husband. " Obi Wan was right.. You have changed. I don't know you anymore… Anakin your breaking my heart." and that was true. She could feel her heart split in two. She couldn't breathe, everything around her was melting away. He just stared at her and laughed… not the warm laugh she was used to hearing from his mouth, but a deep scary laugh. "I am risking everything to save you and this is how you thank me? By telling me that you are going to leave me? I will not let you go!" With that he started to force choke the woman he loved.. The woman carrying his children. Those thoughts never entered Anakin Sky walkers mind… Anakin Skywalker was gone, all that was left now was Lord Vader.

When someone said count your blessings now
For they're long gone
I guess I just didn't know how
I was all wrong
They knew better
Still you said forever
And ever
Who knew

I'll keep you locked in my head
Until we meet again
And I won't forget you my friend
What happened

She remembered C-3PO waking her up and taking her to a medical center. Soon after that she gave birth to the twins. Obi Wan came to the house for the first week and helped her out with everything. She knew that it was hurting him just as much as she. He was like a father to Anakin, and he felt as if he had failed him. After taking a deep breath she got her tired body up out of bed. She walked into her children's nursery. Blue and Pink colors were everywhere. In a pink and white crib layed Leia. She was beautiful, big brown eyes like her mother and little brown curls. In the blue and white crib layed Luke. Like his father he had stunning blue eyes and a head of blonde wavy hair. It pained her to look at her son, he resembled his father so much.

She leaned down and kissed both her children on the head. She tried not to think about them growing up without a caring loving father. She left the nursery and walked out on to the balcony. The millions of stars shined brightly. The same stars that she used to look at with Anakin. The tears fell freely again, she continued to ask herself why until she fell to her knees in despair. No one saw Senator Amidala laying there sobbing uncontrollably…. except a man who had watched the whole ordeal through the eyes of his black mask………………..

If someone said three years from now
You'd be long gone
I'd stand up and punch them out
Cause they're all wrong and
That last kiss I'll cherish
Until we meet again
And time makes It harder
I wish I could remember
But I keep Your memory
You visit me in my sleep
My darling
Who knew
My darling

I miss you

So how did you guys like it. I have never written a story before, but when I heard this song it just made me think of the idea!

Thanks
