Tears of Sorrow (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Part 7

After a bunch of arguing, Anakin made his statement."I understand your anger, but she was under the influence of-"

      Mace Windu interrupted him. " You are not going to justify her actions with some excuse?" and told Anakin to be silent. Then, I to have me in a cell for the rest of my life.

     Obi-Wan pulled Anakin aside after the meeting " Anakin, you do not justify her actions. She has caused much pain to you, Padme, The Jedi. You can not let your emotions cloud your judgment regardless of your friendship with her." Anakin looked down. "What about me? I slaughtered a village of Tusken Raiders for my mother because they tortured her. Does that make me an awful person?" Obi-Wan looked at Anakin. " No, It does not, but this situation is different. (y/n) was reported to be vile, according to the distress call. They didn't provoke her, but she assaulted the ship for no reason at all. Be careful of who you are defending here." He walks away.

   Anakin went to Padme's apartment and hugged her. "Are you alright?" he was concerned for Padme. "I-I- don't know..." she said silently. Then said something else. "I never thought she would turn to the dark side. I can't believe how much she changed..." She was deep in thought.

"Padme, she isn't a part of the dark side anymore. I talked to her about what happened before her disappearance, but it seems odd that she was gone for four years. Then out of nowhere, she took the path of the Sith. She has no idea what she did, but something felt off as if there was another presence. She had so much light in her. How could she be this vile?" He tried not to choke.

"Anakin, what is the matter?" She noticed that he was going to start crying again. She sat with him hugging him. "(y/n) is going to be in the detention center for the rest of her life...I tried defending her even though what she did was horrible. But no one agreed and thought I was making excuses. Obi-Wan told me that I shouldn't justify her actions."

Padme looked down and sighed, not knowing what to say. Then she realized what he needed to do, let her go. "Anakin, have you ever considered that you should be taking care of yourself and not (y/n). Look at your eyes. They are puffy and red. Look what she did to you." she exhaled again. "I think you should let her go..." That replayed in Anakin's mind. He got more upset."I don't think she is a bad person, but we also don't know that she was under some sort of mind control or someone influencing her-" Padme said. Anakin interrupted, "Because the Jedi are more focused on her arrest than testing to see if she is okay, not to mention she was a part of the Jedi!" He started to sob.

Padme tried to think of something and got the idea of seeing (y/n) with Anakin to get some information. "We are going to see her, Anakin." She stood up and took his hand. They got to the medical bay, Anakin started running to (y/n)'s room. There she was sleeping. He took a chance to admire her and teared up more.

"(y/n)." He says softly. My eyes open slowly, gazing into Anakin's eyes and tearing up. "Anakin?" I was excited to see him. Then I realized that her future with Anakin was slowly slipping away, now replaced with a cell for the rest of my life.

Anakin notices that (y/n) knows what the council has decided. He could feel their future become uncertain. Padme walks in and sees (y/n) and smiles a little. "(y/n), I am so sorry that this has happened.." "It's alright. I don't even know what I did wrong..." I looked at the ceiling to hold back tears. "Do you remember anything? Anything that would help to prove it wasn't you." "Huh? I remember that I was in my quarters." Padme and Anakin look at each other. "go on." Padme allows me to speak more. I attempted to remember what happened after that.

" After I walked in, then I blackout. That was it.." I felt so useless for some reason.

The Medical droid walked in to help me put bandages around my cut and wounds. Padme told the Medical droid that we needed to see if there is any sign of mind control or something that proved that I was under the influence. The Medical droid nodded and told her that they would have the results tomorrow. Padme walked out, but Anakin takes my hand puts it on his heart, and whispers, " This heart will always beat for you." He smiled softly and let go of my hand while walking out.

I teared up more because I miss him and feel like I doesn't deserve him. Anakin felt the same way, but he had to ignore it because I was his everything. He caught up with Padme and looked down. " Do you think this is going to work?" he said while feeling doubtful. " I promise it will." she smiled. " I wasn't expecting you to do this...I thought you would side with Obi-Wan because (y/n) attempted to kill you." He looks down.

"I try to see the good in people. I could tell it wasn't (y/n). She wouldn't get jealous just because we were hugging. The old (y/n) would trust us both. But for right now, you need to sleep. You haven't slept ever since she came back." Padme hugged Anakin goodbye and walked away.

Anakin went to his quarters, but he was right in front (y/n)'s quarters and went inside. He looked around and sat on the bed and found a hologram on the table, there were the memories of him and (y/n). he took it and lied on the bed, looking at all of the memories that were stored in that hologram, tearing up, looking back, admiring (y/n), and wondering will he ever be with the love of his life.
