MELODRAMA (Ben Solo x F!Reader)

HARD FEELINGS / LOVELESS

Go back and tell it. Remember it all. Refresh it in your mind. Ben left. He left you here alone. He left all his friends and he broke your heart. You wish you could be upset at him for it. You also wish that when he decided to leave that'd he'd stay gone. As you see Poe approaching you, you hold back a sigh. You guess wishes just don't come true.

"Surprised to see you here." He remarks honestly, his voice loud over the blasting music.

"Surprised to be here." You admit, gesturing for him to sit beside you on the couch, "Haven't been to a party... in ages."

Poe gives you a sad smile. It isn't lost on him that the last time you were sat on this couch, it was Ben that was beside you. "I know." He continues in a laugh, putting the bottle up to his lips before he speaks, "I've been to every single one."

You force a smile, knowing Poe still has hope for things to go back to normal. But it won't be. Not after everything that happened last night. You can't stop going over it all in your head.

You're forgetting me. Ben had told you.

Why is that a bad thing?
Isn't that what everyone was supposed to do since he left without saying goodbye?

"Where's Finn?" You wonder, changing the subject and changing your mind.

But before Poe can reply, there comes a blaring alarm. It ripples through the bar, making people fret and rush around. It's a little ways off the base but the alarm sounds deafeningly loud in the quiet of the night.

You recognise the sound of the alarm from your training. "Is this a drill?" You frown, looking to Poe urgently.

He doesn't answer, just meets your eyes, stands, and you follow him. Straight to his x-wing, that's where you go. Then he speeds to the base, along with others. You can't believe your eyes when the base comes into view. It burns to look at the brightness of it all, the absolute fire that engulfs more than half of the base. Not even the sight of thousands of rebels congregating, safe from the flames, can bring you relief.

A familiar ship rolls from the bay, you can see it as Poe angles his ship down. The Millenium Falcon. You haven't seen it fly since... since Ben left.

"No, land closer." You order Poe, not taking your eyes off of the black ship starting its bright engine.

"But-"

"Just do it." You shout, heart practically beating out of your chest. You can't let that piece of shit go into hyperspace or you'll never see it again.

When the x-wing has landed and you rush from it, you hear Poe's footsteps following you with urgency.

"General Organa." You greet her, meeting her sad eyes as she stands outside of the dropship. "What happened here?"

She sucks in a shallow breath, "Y/N, you're not sanctioned to know the details-"

"No, but I am." Poe interrupts, "What happened?"

Leia swallows the lump in her throat, looking towards the burning base as she stands at the edged of the Falcon. "Snoke."

That name makes you freeze.

You hadn't heard it in so long. Ben doesn't need the force connection to tell him you're close... he can hear your voice outside.

"He attacked the base?" Poe wonders, furrowing his eyebrows. Leia tears her eyes from you, looking to her trusted friend as he continues to speak, "How did he find our coordinates?"

Unable to tell him the whole truth, Leia just shrugs. "I'm not sure, Poe. We'll figure it out. Now, the best thing is for everyone to evacuate. Follow emergency plan 8. Spread the word."
