Are We Meant To Be? *2nd book of the Other Half Trilogy*

~ Ch. 38 ~

          Sabine's POV

    When Ezra and Acarna finally woke up, it seemed to be a happy thing as they both hugged as they cried and swore to each other that they would both protect each other. Well, that's not really what they said, but, that's my terms for it. Anyways it was a happy moment and I had an idea! A fun one! I went over to them and hugged them.

    "You know what this calls for?!" I said, excitedly. I saw Ezra laugh and smirk as we saw the confused look on Acarna's face. "KARAOKE!! Come on!! We need to unwind!" I said, and grabbed my Sister, Rey's arm as we passed her and the four of us headed to the bar, I knew that the others would join us at a later time. This is cause for celebration because now, I have a feeling that Acarna is truly one of us now!

    We entered the bar and we sat at a table and ordered drinks. I ordered a type of red wine, while Acarna ordered vodka, Ezra ordered whisky, and Rey ordered water. I guess she's the sober type. We got our drinks and it wasn't long before Acarna was telling us stories about the trouble her and her two friends, Zalaan and Dargeo, would get into. We had a great time, then Ezra was whisked away by Kanan to the dancefloor and Finn came over and asked Rey if she wanted to dance, leaving Acarna and I alone.

    "So, are you really the strongest out of your generation?" I asked as she took another sip of her vodka. How can she drink that?? It's seriously heavy shit. "Not to boast but, yeah, I am the strongest. No one can beat me. Not even the Knights of Ren." she explained. "If that's the truth, than why were you so scared when we saw your ship with them on it over Jakku?" I asked, curious. She sighed, I could tell that the alcohol was getting to her, as her face turned red and she looked away from me and sighed.

    "Because.........they are the ones that I was trained alongside with. And I feared that they would kill you all and take me and Ezra. I didn't understand my feelings being with you all until then. That was when I realized..........that in such a short amount of time...........you all became my family...........and I was terrified of losing you all. While I was watching you all escape, I wanted to go with but.........I was scared.......because I thought that if I stayed with you all.........that I'd be putting you all in danger. Also that there is a certain Ren that knows exactly what to do to me if I ever lost my way from the Sith. He is their leader.......his name is Kylo. He.......is my Cousin." Acarna explained. This mood just became dark. I need to help her have fun. She doesn't seem to be the type to want to have fun, she's the more serious type. I downed the rest of my wine and grabbed her arm. "W-what are you doing?" she asked. "We are going to have fun! Come on!" I said, walking up to the stage with her. I grabbed two mics from the stand and handed one to Acarna. By now I saw people were staring at us, confused. I started the music and we started to sing.

( Acarna- Italics, Sabine- Bold, Both- Bold & Italics)

Wish I could say you're not the one

My heart hangs on, you're having fun

We can't be lovers and we can't be friends

But I still want you and I can't pretend

It fucking kills me that we're done

A little twist of the knife, yeah

A little salt in the cut, yeah

A little thorn in the side

And it stings like hell

Feels so cruel, the way you treat me like a stranger
