Rey's heart pounded fast as she approached her destination.
Would he want to see her? Was this all a big mistake?
She parked her car and walked towards the location of Ben's boat, but it was gone. Rey felt the air leave her lungs. He was gone and she had lost him forever, without having the chance to tell him she loved him. Suddenly, she realised that she couldn't let things end that way between them, every part of her wanted to go after him. She took out her phone and called for reinforcements.
Ben woke up to the sound of the boat moving. What the hell? They weren't supposed to have set sail yet. Upon leaving his room he found his father in the lounge.
'Ahhhhh there you are!' His father exclaimed holding out his arms as if to embrace Ben. Ben stopped in his tracks.
'Why are we moving?' He asked.
'We're going home, my boy.' Snoke announced.
'I thought I made the rules on this boat.'
Snoke's smile dropped, 'I make all the rules Ben, and you follow them. Don't you forget that.'
And there it was. The answer Ben had been waiting for. If he stayed with his father, he would never be free. He would never be able to make his own choices or choose his own path. His father would dictate his every move even after Snoke's death, Ben would still be bound by unbreakable contracts to follow his father's every wish.
Ben turned to leave the room.
'Where are you going?' Snoke demanded.
'I'm going to speak to the Captain.'
'Don't you dare. We're going home. I don't care how much fun you had with that little whore back there…'
'DON'T YOU EVER CALL REY A WHORE!' Ben roared.
'You have forgotten your place boy,' Snoke said, his face turning dark.
'No, I haven't Father, I've just realised where my place is…with Rey and my family.'
Ben turned to leave again.
'If you walk away from me Ben, I will cut you off! There will be no inheritance! No more allowances! You'll have nothing!' Snoke snarled.
Ben turned around with a smile on his lips, 'Oh no Father, I won't have nothing, quite the contrary, I'll have everything I need.'
'Can't you go any faster?' Rey whined.
'Rey! This is not a battle cruiser for god's sake!' Finn shouted back, 'I've had no need for a powerful engine, all I do in this boat is pretend to fish while drinking my weight in beer!'
'I knew it!' Rose exclaimed.
'Talk about it later!' Rey shouted throwing her hands up, 'One domestic crisis at a time!'
'I'm telling you Rey we can't catch up with them! The only way we could find them now is if they, if they…. what the hell?' Finn squinted his eyes as he stared out the window.
'Finn! What were you going to say?'
'Erhh Rey, isn't that your fake husbands' boat?' He said pointing.
Rey looked and saw Ben's yacht coming towards them.
'How on earth?' How is this possible?' She asked.
'He's turned around Rey, it's the only way we could have caught up to them.' Finn said.
'Rey! He still loves you! He was coming back for you!' Rose squealed jumping up and down. Star and Warren joined in whooping with delight.
'What do I do?' Rey asked.
'Well go to him silly!' Rose shouted.
Running out onto the deck Rey put her hand above her eyes in order to shield them from the sun. She was looking at the water debating how cold it would be if she jumped in when… suddenly he appeared on the yacht's deck and her heart stopped for a moment.
After relaying a new course to the Captain Ben went out onto the deck and couldn't believe what he was seeing. Was that Rey? His Rey?
He waved his arms in the air and tried to shout,
'REY!'
The wind carried his words away.
Ben looked around for someway to get her attention then realised that the boat was changing course again! His Father must have threatened the Captain, the swine!
Ben looked back at Rey helplessly as the boat began to turn once more.
'Sir? If I may?'
Ben turned around to see Hux standing behind him holding out a life jacket in front of him.
'Perhaps this could be of assistance?' Hux asked.
Ben smiled at him.
Rey could see that Ben's mouth was opening and shutting but she couldn't catch his words as the wind claimed them.
She tried to shout back before realising that he wouldn't be able to hear her either. She let out a frustrated strangled scream.
Then the yacht's engine roared and she realised he was moving away from her once more!
'No!' She called out.
Then she saw Ben talking to someone who helped him into a lifejacket…oh god! He was going to jump! He was going to jump and possibly drowned! Could he even swim?
'Finn!' Rey cried frantically, 'Get me a jacket!'
'No way! You're not going in there!' He replied.
'Oh yes I am!' She retorted.
'We better get her a jacket or she'll jump without one!' Rose said in a panic.
They located one and Rose helped Rey put it on. By the end she got back out onto the deck she was just in time to watch Ben jump off the yacht into the water below. Rey didn't hesitate as she watched Ben crash into the waves, she dived off Finn's boat into the water below, Star and Warren's cheers ringing in her ears, as she splashed into the icy surf.
