Sorry in advance for like weird things or non-spaced words. I'm posting from the app and it tends to glitch


Rey's POV:

Why did I think I could trust him? He got so close to me again and I did nothing.

I'm letting him tear me down and I still don't understand why. I usually liked the rain because there was none on Jakku, but not like this.

The rain stung. He was chasing after me. I took my lightsaber out and ignited it. He was right behind me with his on as well.

"I really don't want to do this."

"Because you don't want a matching scar on the other side?"

"I never wanted to fight you."

I rolled my eyes and attacked. I leaned back when he swiped at me. He fell down and ducked whenever I took a swing at him.

He stopped my saber, pushing it down to the ground.

"I just wanted you to be safe! I never hurt you. I let you do all the damage to me!"

I looked at him through the rain and couldn't help but feel he was being honest. I felt a bit ashamed for what I did to him for the smallest second.

I spun my saber around my body, hitting against his several times. He really wasn't trying.

We were at the top of the island.

He was pushing against my saber again.

"Look I'll prove it to you."

He let up off of me and turned his off, dropping it into the mud.

"Please believe me. I can't do this without you." I saw the hurt in his eyes like never before. I haven't seen him this conflicted since-

I stepped back several steps.

Kylo began walking after me.

"Don't. Please I can't-"

I lost my footing and screamed as the mud gave way to my body weight.

"Rey!"

Kylo was at the edge of the cliff. My fingers were slipping under the rain and the muddy cliff side.

"Give me your hand! Trust me! I'll help you!"

I looked up at him, into his eyes. They were full of desperation. I realized that was the first time he'd ever said my name. His voice was filled with worry and terror for me. The confusion I was feeling didn't help.

I used the Force and looked up.

I found something in his mind that scared me: compassion.

Luke telling me to kill him was in my mind again. I need to accept what's happening, accept who I am. Accept my destiny. I let go of the ledge and closed my eyes as I heard Kylo's distressed call out for me over the rain.
