Star Wars: Her New Beginning

Chapter 7

I sit with my back up against the headboard of my bed. Ander is sitting next to me and we are holding hands.

"I still can't believe it." I say

"Neither can I." Ander says

The both of us are still trying to get through the fact that Dalton is Lord Minevilence's son. Then again they both look similar to each other.

"I also can't believe my legs gave out once we walked into Dalton's cell. I was doing fine before." I say a little frustrated.

"For a while I even forgot you were using the crutches." He says

"Really?" I ask turning my head to him.

"Little bit yeah." He says

We sit there in silence for a little bit. I nuzzle my head in between his shoulder and head. He rests his head on top of mine.

"I can't wait till I can go up to my room again." I say

"Just one or two more appointments." He says

"I just have to know how much more time I have after today's appointment." I say

THE NEXT DAY

No more crutches, no more physical therapy, yay! I'm pretty much back to normal.

Today Yoda, Obi-Wan, and Mace Windu are going to talk with Dalton. I'm curious on how that is going to go.

Right now I'm at home, by myself, nothing to do, and a bit bored. I decide to go for a run.

I go to my room and change into a light blue, dry fit tank top, dry fit, black, running capris, and running shoes.

I put my hair in a pony tail and head out.

I run around the block, then I run to the field that Ander and I have had a few dates at.

I run a few laps around the field and then decide to head home. When I get home I get undressed, take my hair out of its ponytail, and I take a shower.

The warm water feels so good. I just stand underneath the water and have it come down on me.

After my shower I go back into my room and look at the clock. 5:00 pm. Mom and dad should be getting home soon.

I put on a dark green tank top and black shorts. My usual sleeping clothes.

I wrap my hair up in a towel, so it can dry.

I start making dinner. I look through the pantry and refrigerator to see what I can make.

I decide to make spaghetti and meatballs.

After dinner is almost done cooking, I look at the clock. 5:45 pm.

Why aren't my parents home?

I take my hair out of the towel and hang it back up in the bathroom.

I get my communicator and call mom.

"Mom, why aren't you and dad home yet?" I ask once she picks up.

"I got held up in the office with several political issues that I need to take care of." Mom says "I don't know about your dad though."

"Okay." I say "I'll call dad."

I hang up and call dad.

"Dad, why aren't you home yet?" I ask when he picks up.

"I found out a little while ago that I have a Jedi Council meeting at 6:00 pm." Dad says "I won't be home for a while. Sorry."

I can hear a bit of sadness in his voice.

"It's fine. Have a good meeting." I say and hang up.

I look at the round table that I set up while the noodles where cooking. White table cloth, three chairs, three cups full of water, three forks, three napkins, two candles lit in the middle.

I walk over to the kitchen. I take the pot of noodles and put some on my plate. I get the pot of sauce and put some on my noodles. I get the meatballs and put several on the sauce.

I blow out the candles, so I just have the over head light on.

I sit down and start eating. I look over at the two empty seats. I would have been sitting across from my parents.

I look down at my plate and a single tear roles down my cheek and lands on the plate.

I wanted to have a nice dinner, just the three of us. But that couldn't happen. Sadly.

Once I'm done eating, I clean up my dishes and cover the rest of the food.

After I'm done I look at the clock. 6:30 pm. I took my time eating.

I leave mom and dads plates where they are, so they can eat when they get home.

I'm really tired. I write a small note and place it between mom and dads plates.

I go to my room, close the door, turn off the lights, get in bed, and fall asleep.

ANAKIN's POV

Once we get done with the meeting it's about 7:30 pm. We had to figure out what to do with Dalton.

I walk to Padmé's office.

"You look tired and you need a break." I say walking in.

"Yeah I probably do." She says tiredly.

"You can pick this up in the morning. Let's go home." I say

She nods and we leave the Temple.

When we get home we see that most of the house is dark. When we get to the kitchen we see that there is food covered, the table has everything for two people. I walk over and find a note in between the two plates.

Mom and Dad,

I made dinner for the three of us. You two couldn't make it, I was hungry, and didn't know when you would be back. I made spaghetti and meatballs. Hope you two enjoy the meal.

-A :(

I notice that Padmé is at my side reading the note.

I let out a breath.

"She wanted to have a nice dinner, just the three of us. We haven't done that in a while." Padmé says with some sadness in her tone.

"We're going to need to make it up to her." I say
