Another Path (Anakin Skywalker) (#Wattys2016)

Five || Haunted

Anakin's POV

The next day I couldn't get the dream out of my head. I can't let this happen. I won't let that happen. Prim can't die. I can't believe that I didn't come to her aid as she screamed for me.

I sensed her as she walked into the room. She sat down next me and rubbed the back of my neck, "are you okay?" She wondered.

I looked at her, "yeah," I said letting out a sigh.

She looked at me with a concerned expression, "tell me." Her sweet voice calmed my nerves.

"The dream, I can't let it go," I let out.

"You need to try and let it go," she sighed, "nothing's going to happen to me. Worrying will only drive you crazy. If you come back to the world and it does happen you'll be ready. If it does happen you know nothing can kill me! But, everything is going to be okay." I want to let it go but I can't. I can't let her go through the pain. I don't want to loose her.

"I can't though. I just can't," I sighed. She wrapped her arms around me, I hugged back. I can't let her go.

"Anakin I love you," she said. I could tell she was almost crying.

"I love you too," I replied.

"It's okay, I know it's hard to let things like this go," she said. It's true it's hard to let go.

"It is... it's haunting me just thinking about you being hurt kills me Prim," I explained holding her even closer.

We parted from the hug she put her hands on my shoulders. I could tell she was holding back tears. "I'm still breathing, I'll be fine, I had to grow up over night, I made every single mistake you could possibly make, you're not one, you're the greatest miracle in my life. When I came back I saw my life in a strangers face and it was mine. Nothing could hurt as bad as that moment realizing the mess I had become. Don't be like I was my love, don't, don't drive yourself insane over this, please? For me?" She pleaded.

"I'll try Prim, I will definitely try," I promised her.

"Thank you," she sighed and hugged me again.
