Chapter 7

It was evening by the time Rey had reached the top of the island. She closed her eyes as she felt everything around her surround her through the Force. Ben Solo was going to join her. Ben Solo. A man she thought was long gone after Han Solo died at his hands. It was through the passionate kiss she shared with Ben that she realized the truth: Ben Solo was being controlled mentally by Supreme Leader Snoke and he was the one who took over Ben Solo in that fateful moment. She saw that now and knew that her feelings towards Kylo Ren were not something she should be ashamed of because it was really Ben Solo she loved.
Rey smiled at herself as she let the love she felt for this man fill her up. Her eyes lit up as she felt his presence before seeing his ship come into view. Once he landed, Ben sprinted up the hill as fast as his legs could carry him. He didn't stop until he reached Rey, rushing into her arms and lifting her up in his embrace as he spun her around. Her giggle was like magic to him and he joined in with her. He placed her back down on the ground keeping his arms wrapped around her waist as he looked deeply into her eyes that smiled back at him. "Rey," he breathed as he leaned down and kissed her full lips. Rey reached up on her tiptoes to meet him and wrapped her arms around his neck. They stood on top of the island letting their passion fill up one another. Pulling back for a breath, they pressed their foreheads together, smiling in absolutely bliss. They were together at last and they knew they could take on anything hand in hand with the Force as their guide. Rey looked into Ben's face and kissed his cheek lovingly.
"I love you, Ben. I always will," she whispered as she pulled him into another kiss. After their kiss, they sat down on the top of the island and stayed there until the twin suns rose. Rey laid her head on Ben's shoulder, feeling for the first time in her life at home. Ben wrapped an arm around her and pulled her close, feeling loved at last.
