How to Love

Chapter 4

I wake up  early the next morning from a dream turned nightmare. I sit up, like yesterday,then grab my phone as my feet drag me to the bathroom. I softly play the playlist I made for occasions like this. The nightmares. I find a towel in a drawer then step into the shower, and let the hot water run over my head; washing all the bad feeling from the nightmare away.  I turn the water off and start to get dressed, I'm about to put my shirt on as the medical droid rolls in, I forgot about my injury from thre day before. I walk out to meet it, t-shirt in hand. I kneel down and the droid changes the bandages and rubs a gel on the wound. I thank it and put my t-shirt on. The droid rolls put and Kylo walks in. "follow me," Kylo says and I follow him to the training room. I'm in awe of the large room. "How many of the books did you get read?"

"All of them," I reply nonchalant. He turned to face me,"All of them?" I nod in response. He then bombards me with questions, all of which I answer correctly.After that he talked about yesterday, not apologizing, and gave me a few tips on stance and such then gave me what I would call a 'lesson' about the force. "you're going to have to be a little more open to the point you'll let the force in." I raise an eyebrow,"How, exactly, am I supposed to do that?"

"The first time, you close your eyes, relax and let the force take over." I nod, feeling a little skeptical of his instructions,but decide I should probably do what he says. I sit on the ground ad focus on what he said.  I close my eyes, easy enough. I clear my head the best I can, but it's not an easy task. Soon I'm mentally and physically relaxed. Then I feel full, of what I assumed to by the force. Then breaking the peacefulness was the tingling in my head. Then is worsens suddenly. I know it's Kylo in my head. There was no way to get him out of my head that I knew of. What felt like hours but was actually only a few minuets he had seen my thoughts, how I've felt in the past present, and knows all of my deepest darkest secrets.

I look at him for a few moments after he was done reading my thoughts like a book. I stand up and walk out of the training room and back to the one I was staying in because this was not my room. MY room was back on earth. When I reached my room I saw my phone and charger were gone. I grab the small blue ball and throw it as hard as I can against the wall. This and my glasses are the the only things I had left from my old life. I fall to my knees as the small ball bounces as a single tear escapes my eye.
