-Enjoy!! :)

~flashback~

"You're making a mistake, Ahsoka." Anakin said, his brow scrunched together. "The Jedi are your life."

Ahsoka shook her head. "How could I ever trust them again, Anakin?"

He looked down at his feet.

"I'm sorry, master. But I'm not coming back."

"I understand wanting to leave the order, Ahsoka."

"I know."

The Jedi's face paled slightly. "I'm sorry Ahsoka." He said, wiping his eyes with his sleeve. "I'm sorry for failing you."

Ahsoka looked up to meet Anakin's watery eyes. "It's not your fault." She coaxed, feeling warm water drip down her cheeks.

"I'm sorry master."

Anakin looked up to respond but all he could see were the tips of her monstrals descending down the temple's steps.

She was gone.

*********************

Ahsoka sighed, trying her hardest to ignore the walls of tears threatening to spill out of her eyes. It had been 2 years since the end of the Clone Wars.

2 years since she left Anakin.

2 years since she left the Order.

The galaxy had changed so much in those 2 years. Some can say it was reborn into something bigger and better. But Ahsoka wasn't stupid. The Empire was anything but better than the GAR.

The clones were still slaves in yet another war.

The Torgurta exhaled a long breath through her nostrils and sat back further against the warm grass. She looked up at the sky, painted in pinks and oranges with the setting sun. It reminded her of when she and Anakin used to do things like this. They used to spend hours after every battle just watching the sunset on the planet they were stationed on. They talked for hours each night just about the most random things. Sometimes it was about the war, or the code, or even sometimes Padmé and Anakin's secret relationship.

But that was only after Anakin finally admitted to them being together.

Ahsoka stifled back a laugh. She could still picture the look of pure shock on her master's face when she asked him about the Nabooian Senator.

The former Jedi turned her head around to the empty spot beside her. If only her brother were here now. They would probably be laughing and clutching their stomachs about some stupid joke about Obi-Wan.

She closed her eyes tightly. Hoping, no- praying,  Anakin would suddenly appear beside her, looking up at her with his cocky smirk. Twisting her fingers into a cross behind her back, she opened her eyes.

Ahsoka scanned the wispy grass, her eyes straining for any sight of the curly-haired Jedi.

But there was nothing. Just the slight breeze against her skin and the growing chill in the air from the setting sun. There were no smiles, no laughs, and no inside jokes.

Just pure open air and stale silence.

It was the sounds Ahsoka had come to face with for the past 2 years on her own. After Rex died and her bond with Anakin vanished, she wasn't quite sure what to do with her life. But then she became a mechanic and had actually found peace. Something she thought she'd never achieve.
