Tears of Sorrow (Anakin Skywalker x Reader)

Part 28

           It was time to say good-bye to Obi-Wan the next morning. Sadness affected me more than I realized. Through the force, I sensed I'd see him again. He was still sleeping, and I felt terrible about disturbing him. To buy him some time, I prepared a care package for his journey, which included food, water, robes, credits, and a note.

        Then, I decided to contact Anakin to get me some breakfast and leave it at my quarter's door and he was super joyful about it and agreed. After that, I explained to Obi-Wan the plan to get him safely out of Coruscant to a planet that is out of reach of the empire and told him that we would be leaving right after his meal.

       When speaking of his meal, Anakin knocked on the door and Obi-Wan knew the drill, so he hid. Anakin smiled when I opened the door, "Good morning, m'lady." It took me by surprise how soft he grew around me and returned a smile back. The plate he was holding had so much delicious food like Bantha butter flatcake, nine egg stew, and lastly blue milk. My favorite drink of all time. He smiled knowing that he had got my favorite drink right and asked if he could stay for a bit. I sighed and politely said no, but said that I would make it up to him.

      Anakin once again sighed and eventually gave in and kissed my cheek goodbye. I called Obi-name shortly after he left, and he reappeared. I handed him the food and said, "I want you to live, okay? Run and don't look back." He hadn't been fed well, and I felt sorry for him because he was trying to eat as much as he could.

     It was time to sneak him out of my quarters after he finished his breakfast, and I was hoping it would work because we would both be dead. I crept out of my quarters to ensure there were no clones, and the coast was clear. We kept an eye out for each other and made sure we weren't seen, and I saw an exit there, but I couldn't go much further.

   My body turned to face him, a reassuring smile on my lips. "I can't go further. But simply exit the building and board a ship to fly out to Alderran, which should be safe from the empire. May the force be with you." Obi-Wan nodded, giving me one last hug before disappearing down the hall, and tears welled up in my eyes.

     I returned to my quarters after Obi-Wan left. When I walked inside, I noticed a note, "Dear Y/N, I will miss you, Y/N. Thank you for putting your life in danger for me; I will never forget it. Knowing that you still have humanity in you is extremely reassuring. I hope you can rediscover your former self. You'll always be the daughter I didn't have. Your father figure, Obi-Wan." He left me something to remember him by with the note.

    My eyes well up with tears. I was already missing him. There will be less company now, and I'm already worried about what Sidious has in store for breaking the Rule of Two. My heart sank when I remembered Anakin saying that both of us couldn't exist. Which I find completely unfair. It should have been Anakin or I. Not both of us, but with Sidious I know something bad will happen. Which I completely disagree with. Anakin or I should have done it. Not both of us, but something bad is bound to happen.

      Then I decided to pay Anakin a visit and so I exited my quarters to go see him. After a bit, I approached his quarters with a knock. No one answered. I tried to remember the code to get into his quarters. After many attempts, the doors slid open and I saw a bag packed. "Anakin?" I called out, walking into his quarters. He came out with just his robe on and then a genuine smile appeared on his face. "I wasn't expecting you, Angel." I gave him a confused look and then shifted back to the bag on his mattress.

      "You're going." I said it without emotion. Anakin couldn't read me and shook his head, attempting to explain that Sidious had given him a mission and that he would leave the next night. Sidious assigned a mission to Anakin but not to me? "Strange." His face was filled with confusion, and he asked me to clarify. It's nothing, I said, shaking my head. Anakin's mind was drowning in thoughts about the panic attack I had last night, and he hugged me while assuring me that I would be fine and that there was nothing to worry about.

        I hugged him back and began to zone out, trying to figure out what was wrong. Anakin read my mind and remained silent because he sensed something strange in the force. I snapped out of my trance and asked him how long he would be gone. I kept asking him questions because the answer he gave wasn't what I expected. Anakin tried his hardest to answer all of the questions, but he eventually became irritated.

        He appears to have been leaving for three moon cycles. My heart sank, and his responses only fed my delusions. Something is going on, and I believe Sidious is involved in some way. I was completely lost. I had the impression that I was becoming mentally weak. Physically, things have improved. However, morbid thoughts of assassinating Sidious entered my mind, and I could feel my face burn up. All I told Anakin right after was to leave earlier, and he looked perplexed as he tried to figure out what I was thinking.

         The feeling of saying goodbye to him seemed like goodbye forever. My entire body
