Star Wars Rebels: Children of The Force

Chapter 18

(Jessie pov)

Boy, this is awkward. Nice going, Ezra. Always straight out.
"Ezra, I've been gone a year. Things change," I say.
He looks a little bit hurt. "You never even bothered to call us."
"I had bad signal on Dagobah. It was scratchy and it cut out every time I tried to use it."
"Dagobah?" Crap. I revealed my location. Well, the Inquisitor already knows.
"Yeah. Never mind about that. And to answer your question, yes, we are dating." I tell him.
Ezra gets a slight smug smile on his face. "Oh well. I've changed too, you know. Emma!" He calls. "Come meet Jessie!"
He's bluffing. There's no way he has another girlfriend.
A black haired girl appears on the platform above. "Hi," she says when she see me. "I'm Emma."
"H...Hi." I stutter. I'm really surprised...and a little bit hurt. Well, two can play at this game!
"I'm Jessie," I say, regaining my control. Being a former bounty hunter comes in handy from time to time. "How long have you been with the Ghost crew?"
She looks a little surprised. "About a day."
"Oh. I used to be a part of them, then I had to leave," I say. "Are you 15?"
"16," she replies. "You?"
"15."
"Cool."
"Are you Ezra's girlfriend?"
She looks shocked. "Um...well...um..."
She likes him! But he's mine!
Jessie, you have another boyfriend!
I don't care!
You love Leo!
Ezra!
Leo!
Ezra! The battle rages on in my head.
Ezra saves her from answering. "It's been a long day. Arianna is already sleeping! Jessie, I don't know where you're going to sleep. We're full."
I look around and spot a couple of crates. I push them together. "I'll sleep on these. Who's in Hera's room?"
From the guilty look on Emma's face, I know it's her. "Sorry. It's just that that's my old room."
"Oh, okay. Well, goodnight," Emma says and hurries off. Ezra looks at me one last time, then goes after her. I sigh and lay down on the crates. I'm asleep in moments.
