Padmé Amidala sat huddled in the bathroom. In the space between the toilet and the bathtub. She knew that place well, but don't bother asking her why. You won't get an answer. She huddled there, staring blankly at the wall, not one single thought in her mind. Not one.
A million stars light
This beautiful night
This is not a night to die
Let me sing and dance
Beneath the sky
I have such love to give
To give
I want a chance to live
She sat there, a piece of sharp razor thin glass clutched in her palm. It was cutting into her skin, but not like she cared. That was why she was here in the first place. Sitting here in the bathroom with a piece of glass clutched in her palm. To kill herself.
Live
For the one I love
Love
Like no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return
What was the point, anyway? There was nothing to live for. Padmé's hand moved out of it's own accord and placed itself on her bulging stomach. Her eyes filled with tears, but they did not fall. She let out a strangled sob. Anakin! Oh her dear dear Ani, he was gone. Gone from her forever. Padmé held the glass to her wrist and slit it, she did the same to the other wrist. The glass feel to the floor. Padmé laid her head agains the wall and closed her eyes. She sat there, blood running down her wrists and waited. Waited to die.
Free
Free to find my way
Free to have my say
Free to see the day
Be
Like I used to be
Like a wild bird free
With all of life in me
Obi-Wan burst into the bathroom. He took in her appearance, so deathly pale, blood on the floor. He rushed over to her and cupped her face. Padmé's eyes opened and she weakly looked at him. Her cracked lips opened, her throat moved but no sound came out.
"Padmé, oh Padmé! What have you done!" Obi-Wan's voice was rough with emtion and he could barely get the words past the big lump in his throat.
Life
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return
"Padmé, come on, you have to stay with me! For your sake, the babies sake…my sake!" Obi-Wan pleaded while tapping her face every time her eyes closed or became unfocused.
"I love you too much to love you, Padmé. Please, stay with me." he whispered in her hair. Please, no don't take her from me, please let her live. he thought while rocking her back and forth. He had done everything he could, there was nothing else he could do.
"Obi-Wan…" came her weak voice. He looked at her, tears spilling down each other's faces. Yes, yes! he thought while life entered her again. She would live.
Though this world tears us apart
We're still together in my heart
I want the world to hear my cry
And even if I have to die
Love will not die
Love will change the world
Padmé awoke with a star. She sighed in relief and laid back in bed. It was all in the past, that horrifying experience. Padmé closed her eyes and softly smiled. Two year old Luke and Leia were sleeping peacefully in the nursery and the man she loved was here with her. She turned to his sleeping form and snuggled up to him.
"I love you, Obi-Wan." she whispered in his ear. She closed her eyes and just as she was falling asleep a voice reached her ears.
"I love you, Padmé. Today, tomorrow, always."
Live
For the one I love
Love
As no one has loved
Give
Asking nothing in return
