Chapter 7: 'He probably doesn't even love me'

POV: Anakin

Ahsoka and I stood side by side with our jaws hanging open. The factory was hidden behind what looked like a giant rock. It was huge. Bigger than we ever thought it would be.

"Well, I think we found it Snips," I said, still shocked by the sight before us.

"How are we gonna bring that thing down?!" Ahsoka asked.

"I got no idea," I said blankly. After a few minutes of just looking at the thing, we got in contact with the council to inform them of our progress. After a few seconds Mace Windu's figure appeared in front of us.

"Have you found the factory Skywalker?" He said, sounding a bit angry. What does he have against me! I've done nothing wrong for him to hate me so much! I thought, my anger rising. Ahsoka must have sensed my emotions because she looked at me and gave me a 'calm down!' look. I sighed and relaxed.

"Yes Master Windu we have found the factory. It is huge. We won't be able to bring it down on our own." I said.

"Do not move any closer to the factory. We will send you a ship to bring you back to Coruscant. Do not approach the factory until we have a plan on how to destroy it. Stay put and stay hidden. The ship will arrive in a few hours.

"Yes Master." I ended the transmission and looked to my beautiful little Padawan. I smiled and wrapped my arms around her.

"Why are you so happy? You were angry a second ago," She said, confused.

"I'm just happy I get to spend some time with you alone. Just us, no interruptions-"

"On a dust ball planet! Yay!" She said sarcastically, frowning a little.

"Well would you rather we don't get any time at all?" I asked.

"Ok fine you win..." She said, her head looking down in defeat. I chuckled and rocked us back and forwards, resting my chin in between her Lekku.

"Come on, let's go exploring. The ship won't be here for another four hours at least." I suggested.

POV: Ahsoka

"Oh yeah Anakin cause there's so much to explore on this stupid dust planet." I said. I thought it would be funny until I realized what I had said. This was Anakin's home planet, and I had just offended him by making fun of it.

"Oh my gosh Anakin, I'm so sorry. I didn't realize-"

"It's ok. This is more like a place of nightmares than a home. My home is wherever you are." He smiled as he held me. I still felt guilty about what I had said.

"Ahsoka," he said pulling my chin up to meet his eyes, "Listen to me. It's fine. This is no home to me anymore. As long as I'm with you and you're safe I don't care where we are." I smiled at him.

"You're so sweet Anakin." I said as I lightly kissed his lips. He smiled against my lips.

"So what happened here that made you hate it so much?" I asked. He moved away from me and frowned slightly.

"I don't want to talk about that. It's just something personal." I felt sad. He still didn't trust me enough to tell me about his past. I had told him my deepest secrets that I had never told anyone in my 16 years of being alive, and he can't even tell me about his past that some people already know. The more I thought about it, that sadder I became. I turned back and began walking back to the cave, a single tear trickling down my left cheek. After all this time, I'm not even that important to him. I bet that he told Padme about it...I thought. He probably did. I probably didn't even matter that much to him. Ugh I knew something like this would happen. You can't trust people Ahsoka. All they will do is betray you and hurt you. I reached the cave and sat down in the deepest point. It was really dark there. I pulled my legs to my chest and cried. It seemed a bit stupid but I couldn't help it. I couldn't stand the fact that he might not love me. I needed him…

POV: Anakin Skywalker

Ahsoka walked off. I knew she would probably be upset about me not telling her but what if she told someone like last time? I told Padme and soon enough all her friends and the council knew. I covered it up though. I didn't know if I could trust Ahsoka. I mean, I could trust her, I loved her. I don't know what kept me from telling her. I guess I didn't want to bother her with my personal problems. I sat down in the dry weather and watched Ahsoka walk into the cave until I couldn't see her figure anymore. I suddenly felt an incredible wave of sadness come from Ahsoka. He gasped as he felt the pain. He quickly got up and ran for the cave to see what could possibly be causing her this much sadness.

I arrived in the cave and I couldn't see Ahsoka. I heard loud sobbing from the back of the cave so I headed there. As I cautiously moved deeper inward I saw Ahsoka. She was curled in a ball against the wall with her head down, crying. My eyes widened as I was her. I sat next to her and put my arm around her, holding her close to me.

"Snips! Ahsoka! What's wrong?!" I exclaimed. I had never felt so much sadness from her. It was worse than the feeling when she told me about Lux…I was going to kill that boy… Instead of coming closer to me and crying into my chest like I had expected her to, she pushed me away.

"No! Just go away! I don't want to see you! Let me go!" she screamed through her tears. She got up and moved away from me, stumbling a little as she ran. I got up and caught her in my arms. I sat down and held her in my lap. She squirmed as she tried to get away but I held her with me. I couldn't live without her…

"No Ahsoka. You aren't getting away until you tell me what is causing you so much pain. I can't stand seeing you like this. Tell me Ahsoka. Please…" I begged. Her pain was killing me. Knowing that she was in pain hurt me. She settled down a bit but was still crying heavily.

"Why?! Why won't you tell me! I told you my deepest secrets that no one else knows and you can't even tell me your past! You told Padme. You told her everything! You probably don't even love me! You don't care about me and I'm not even important to you! You were my life! I thought I couldn't live without you! I loved you! But you don't even care!" She was crying even harder now. I couldn't believe what I was hearing. She thought I didn't love her anymore. She tried again to pull away from me but I gripped her tighter. I pushed my lips on her with more force than I ever had. I needed her to know that I loved her. There was no other option. She tried to push me off but I didn't give up. I wrapped my arms around her and stood up, carrying her. I didn't break the kiss until I had her back against the wall.

"Ahsoka, I do love you! How could you think otherwise! Yes, I told Padme but she told others and I don't love her! That's why I don't want to tell anyone else. I'm afraid you will tell someone…But I'm being truthful, Ahsoka I love you with all my heart. I can't live without you. You're the most important person in my life and I never want to let you go. I would give up anything for you. I would die for you. I love you." She stopped sobbing and stared into my eyes. Then she broke out again. But she didn't try to get away. She wrapped her arms and legs around me like a child and cried into my chest. She held onto me like her life depended on it. I rubbed her back.

"It's ok. I understand why you were upset. I should have told you. I promise I will tell you everything about my past later. I will never keep any secrets from you again. I promise." I held her close against me and slid down the wall. She held onto me for a while until she calmed down. She unwrapped her legs and sat on top of me and laid her head on my chest.

"I'm really sorry Anakin. You deserve better than me." She said sadly.

"No, you're perfect. Even if I did deserve better I wouldn't want anyone else. And I don't deserve better. If one of us deserves better it's you." I kissed her forehead. "I love you." She looked up and smiled at me. I smiled back at her. Right at that moment something clicked in my mind.

"Ahsoka! We are getting picked up any minute now! We need to get back to the pickup zone!" She gasped. She tried to get up but I held her. I stood up carrying her. She rolled her eyes at me and I smirked proudly. She laughed at me. I bent to put her down but she wrapped her limbs around me and moved around to my back.

"You like it there eh Snips?" I asked playfully.

"Yep!" She said happily. I walked to the depot, carrying her. It was only a short walk. 10 minutes or so. When we got there I went to put her down but she clung to me again.

"Snips they can't see us like this. It will be a huge giveaway. Come on, get off." I let her down. Even when I put her down she moved close to me and wound her arms around me hugging me. I had a feeling she was still trying to tell me she was sorry. She must have read my mind because…

"I still feel bad. I'm so sorry." She said, still holding on to me.

"Ahsoka I told you it's no big deal." I sighed. "Look there's the ship." I pointed into the sky as it flew toward us. She reluctantly let go of me, I internally smiled about that. I was happy that she didn't want to be away from me, because that's how I felt about her. The ship landed and we climbed aboard. On the bridge Obi-Wan and Rex were waiting for us.

"So, you found the factory." He said, not facing us.

"Yes Master. It's big. Not going to be easy to bring it down."

"We'll figure something out. It's not completely indestructible. Every structure and life form has a weak point. Well Rex, let's get going. We need to consult with the council about the factory."

"Yes Sir." Rex replied. The ship took off again and soon enough we were back Coruscant.

Ahsoka and I went to our quarters until the council need to talk to us. In the dorm, Ahsoka began sketching on her bed again. I was unsure of what to do so I sat next to her and watched. I saw she was working on the drawing of me, and she had put the love heart back on thesketch. She pulled it to her chest and gave me a funny look.

"What?" I asked, chuckling at her face.

"What are you doing?" She asked me.

"I can't watch my beautiful little Padawan sketch me?" I asked innocently.

"You can it's just, I don't want you to see it until it's finished." She said, her Lekku darkening a little.

"Oh ok then." I said, sarcastically acting sad. She giggled. I got up off the bed slowly and walked towards my own, backwards. "I'll just, go…and leave…you just…continue…" She laughed out loud this time. I turned my face away, pretending to be heartbroken. That was the last straw. She threw the book on her bed with the pencil and ran up behind me. She jumped on my back, still laughing. I started laughing as well. She began kissing me playfully, and I returned eagerly. We broke apart still laughing. I put her down.

"So I can't see it?"

"Nope! Not till it's finished!" She teased, pushing away from me. I chuckled at her. She was so adorable. So while Ahsoka sketched, I attempted to meditate. I tried to clear my mind but all I could think about was Ahsoka. The way I felt about her was so much deeper than what I had felt about Padme. With her it was just, I love you. But with Ahsoka, I felt like I couldn't survive without her. Her smile could pierce through the darkest of souls in the farthest corners of the universe. I meditated for about 20 minutes, until my comlink went off, and Ahsoka and I were summoned by the council. It was time to bring down that factory.
