Day 365

It's been a whole year, 365 days, since I left without a single goodbye. My heart still aches for Ben. I have still not forgiven myself for what I did. I still need to find him, to ask for his forgiveness. I long to see him, I want him to hold me, and kiss me, and tell me that he loves me. I have gone without all those things for a year, and I do not know if I can last any longer. I have had many holograms from Finn, and General Leia, telling me to come home, but I have always turned them down. I will come home, when I am forgiven. I have searched so many planets, so many systems, my brain blurs them all together. I have been through rain, and fog, and grass, and water, and sand. I hate sand, it is corse and irritating, and it gets everywhere. Today, I am on a planet that it extremely beautiful. It has rolling green hills, and meadows filled with so many beautiful colours and flowers. I am sitting near a waterfall, and when I look out, I only see blue and green. It is such a wonderful place. If I wanted to be alone with my thoughts, I would come here.

Until tomorrow,

Rey.

I close my diary and stand up. It is the only thing I took with me when I left. Everyday I write in it, to make sure that I remember all the things that I have seen. I do not remember the name of this planet, but I hope that I will find Ben here. I have the whole day ahead of me, so I must make use of it. I start to walk into the meadow, the tall grass brushing my knees. I feel a gentle breeze against my face as I continue to walk. This planet feel empty, it feels like no one has been here is some time. There is no sign of any houses, villages, or living creatures.

It is nearly sundown, and I have walked very far. I should get back to the ship, it seems that there is no one here. I sit down on the highest point of a hill, and watch the sun go down. Just then, I see it, a single line of smoke coming from not too far away. Someone is here. I immediately stand up, and walk towards the smoke, and that is when I feel it, it has been a year since I felt it, the pull of the force. I only ever felt this pull when I am with Ben, I feel it with I am near him, I feel it when he kisses me, I feel it when he wraps his arms around me. I have to find him, I have to tell him to come back, I have to make him listen to me, to forgive me, because I cannot forgive myself. So I start towards the fire, in hopes that this adventure will soon be over.

Master Luke has left me alone to tend to the fire while he clears his head. I wish he hadn't left me alone today, not today of all days. It has been a year since my heart has been shattered. I cannot stop thinking about that moment. Master Luke says that I need to clear my head of that day, it is holding me back. The truth is, I need to see her. I still love her, and I need to talk to her, to demand that she tells me the truth, to set me free if she doesn't love me. I start to warm up by the fire when I feel it, something I have not felt in a year, the pull of the force. The last time I felt it this strong was when I told Rey that I loved her. Could she be here? Why would she be? I get up quickly, I have to find her. I look around, and that is when I see her, a small frail figure approaching me in the darkness. She is still far away, but I can feel her force. Fear starts to fill me up, I know I said that I wanted to talk to her, but not now, I need time, more time. I turn around and start to run away. I get far enough away to look back, Rey has reached the fire, and I can see her face, although it is quiet blurry. I see her expression, sadness. I want to go back, but not yet. She has found me, and if I know Rey, I know that she will stay until she has her way. I return back to the camp, I check ever so often to make sure that Rey is not following me, but she isn't, instead she is curled up by the fire, and asleep. The nights here are cold, and the fire alone is not enough. I should bring her something.
