Another long chapter!I wanted to post all this story before school started, but since that won't happen, now I'll be posting 2 chapters a day! I'm thinking of doing a spin-off as well which will be mentioned later ;)
Rey's POV:
I kept running. There was more than one ship that came with us. I boarded one and told them to take off.
They took me back to the First Order. Once we landed, I began running through the halls, back to the Falcon.
He lied,kept playing in my head.
He's never coming back. Tears fell harder down my face because I was running.
I rounded a corner and tried to stop but made it worse. Papers flew in a frenzy around me.
"Oh I'm so sorry." I began shuffling papers together. I handed them to a familiar face.
Hux.
"In a hurry?"
"Actually yes."
He took the papers from me and stood up.
"I see. I guess he couldn't keep you. He got carried away didn't he? A man always wants power more than he wants lust. Unless he can have both. I don't think you wanted that."
I took in a deep breath.
"He always viewed compassion as a sort of joke, nothing serious. I'm sorry you got tangled up in his game."
I nodded and kept running. I went back to the only place I knew I'd be safe: the Resistance.
A stormtrooper was piloting but I told him to leave once he dropped me off.
I was running across the runway, the feeling of my new clothes pressing into my skin, reminding me of who gave them to me.
My one bun bounced as I ran.
I only found one person that I recognized. He was working on his X-wing but I ran to him first.
"Poe!"
"Rey?"
I threw my arms around him, crying hysterically.
I sat in a circle, or more like a square, with Poe, Finn, and BB-8.
Once again, I fiddled my fingers with flowers.
"I'm sorry, Rey."
I explained everything to them. Even that one night..
I shook my head. "I guess it doesn't matter anymore. Even my clothes, my hair..."they're all his, I wanted to say. The gold clip that was in my hair now laid in my hand as I stared at it blankly.
Finn grabbed my hand. "At least you're back, right?"
The flower petals blew about in the grass. I didn't know how to answer. I'm a sad excuse for a Jedi. I didn't dare return to Luke. I'm sure sleeping with his nephew isn't exactly what he had in mind when he let me go off with him.
"We'll leave you alone. You've been through some stuff. C'mon." Finn wanted to protest but took Poe's hand that helped him up.
"Thanks you guys." It was so awkward with them now. If I were with Ben, I'm sure I'd be as giddy and happy as ever. But he ruined it. It doesn't feel the same. Nothing ever will now.
"Anytime."
They turned away and Poe put an arm over Finn's shoulders. Were they a thing?
I was so close. He almost came back to me. But maybe not. He plotted an entire scheme just so he could save me and I would accept him? I didn't know the real reason and I didn't want to find out. He was manipulative and cold. My eyes were red from crying
/so much.
I looked back down at the intricate gold clip and touched my lips.You know I can take whatever I want.He did and I can't stand it.
Ben's POV:
I couldn't decide if I should go after her or not. I had to make a quick decision before it was too late.
I stepped off my ship and immediately ran out when I saw Rey.
I was so relieved to see her safe but she wasn't so pleased to see me.
Her hair was back into her three buns and she was wearing something the Resistance gave her instead.
"What're you doing here?"
That's all she had to say? I came back for her and yet she's mad.
"I came to apologize."
"I don't want an apology from you. Just go back to the First Order and we can be enemies like we were supposed to."
It felt like my heart stopped beating.
"Rey, wait!"
I began running after her but was immediately blocked by two men.
"What do you want with her this time?"
My mind began racing. Did they fill her with lies? I have to go after her. Where is my lightsaber?
"I need her."
The traitor huffed and glared up at me since that's all he could do.
"Look pal, we don't want you getting near her or touching her ever again. You're sick."
She really thought I lied to her about everything. No she has to understand I couldn't do anything. She probably doesn't trust me anymore. After all we've done together...
My throat tightened as I tried to swallow down this new kind of hurt.
This wasn't any type of anger or pain I've felt before. No, this was heartbreak.
I put my hands on my hips and turned away from them, taking a few steps forward.
I spun back around to them.
"I just need to talk to her."
"She's in the garden."
All three of us looked up. My mother was standing behind the two guys.
I nodded before running past them.
She was sitting in the meadow behind the base. Little flurries from the flowers swirled around her as she meditated.
"Rey."
She stood up and held up her hand. I was Force pushed to the ground.
"Leave."
I got up and brushed off my robes.
"Listen for a second."
"You won't tell me anything I want to hear."
I sighed and took a step towards her.
"Then what do you want from me?"
I inched forward. Her shoulders were tense as she took a step back. She won't let me get close enough to touch her will she? This was absolute torture.
She opened her mouth to respond.
