- Finn's view -

They like each other, no, they love each other. I can hear it in the way they talk to each other, I see it in their eyes. The room lights up when they are together. Oh how I long for such a feeling. I want to be loved like Rey. I want to love Rey. I have loved her since the first time I saw her on Jakku, I have always loved her, even when I considered leaving her. I wish that she would have chosen me, I wish that she felt the same, but she does not. If I love her, I should be happy when she is happy. But I am not, I am selfish, I want her for myself. Her happiness should be my happiness, instead it fills me with sadness. I cannot tell her now, not when she is deeply in love with that monster. Well he really isn't a monster anymore, he has changed, he has become a better person, because of her. If I love her, which I do, I will not change anything. Rey is happier than I have ever seen her, and for now, that is enough for me.

- Rey's view -

I set out into the forest, Ben wanted to come with me, but I told him I just needed to be by myself. My whole world nearly fell apart today, I nearly lost my best friend. I wish I had told him sooner. I am too consumed by this love. I need to communicate with people more. But I would not change it for the world. Ben is my world, when I am with him, I feel like I am flying, I feel like I am living on clouds, everything is beautiful, pure, elegant, soft, and full of love. I love him, and I will never let him go, no matter what happens, he is my light. Before him, I was in a dark place, when he came, he broke me out, he stopped the nightmares that would plague my sleep, he shattered my insecurities, he taught me to love again.

I continue to walk in the forest until I reach a large clearing. I see a figure leaning on one of the trees, lost in thought, consumed by emotion. I walk closer, it's Poe.

"Hey, what are you doing out here?" I ask him.

"Just took a walk to clear my head, you?" He answers back, he is different, he is not his usual charming, and cocky self.

"I just wanted to get some air." I lie to him, I cannot tell him about Ben, about how after such a stressful day, I just need to look back. I hear Poe sigh, but say nothing. Minutes pass in silence, and the Poe breaks the silence.

"Rey, can I tell you something?" He asks

"Yes of course" I say, smiling at him.

"There is this girl." he starts, "and she is the most beautiful person that I have ever seen. I really like her, problem is, she is really closed off, and now she is really busy with this assignment. I just never see her, so how am I able to tell her I like her?"

I think for a while, do I know this person? They sound familiar...

"Maybe you can could visit her home, you know, tell her that you would like to hang out when she is free." I tell him, I have never been in this situation before, so my advice is probably useless.

"Thank you." he says. "I have to go back, and get some rest, I'm flying out tomorrow."

"Good luck." I tell him. Poe returns back home, and I am left to process the day finally.

- One week later -

Ben decided that he will finally tell General Leia that he has returned back to the light, and as a result, I am not seeing a lot of him these days. He is catching up with his mom, which is perfectly understandable. We have yet to tell anyone but Finn about our relationship, but I have no doubt that it will happen soon. Before he left today, Ben told me that he would come to visit me sometime in the afternoon. But is it almost night, and there is no sign of him.
