Ben sighed as he made his way back to the apartment. Unkar was no longer a threat though something still lingered on his mind.

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't wanna go home right now

It was Rey. He was worried for her and Ben was pretty sure she was still intent on leaving after a week or two. But he couldn't just let her leave, he couldn't.

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
When sooner or later it's over
I just don't wanna miss you tonight

"Poe?"
"Yeah?"
"Is Rey still with you?"
"Yes."
Ben breathed a sigh of relief.
"But she's still planning on leaving after about 2 weeks, she told us this morning."
"Okay thanks Poe."

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

He placed his hands to his face and rested his face on them. Rey was going to be gone soon. 2 weeks wasn't enough. He picked up his phone once again, "Poe?"
"Yeah?"
"Is Rey at the apartment right now?"
"No."
"Where is she?"
"I don't know."
Soon he heard a knock on the door, he went to open it.

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

It was her.
It was Rey and she was here.
"I'm so sorry," she collapsed into his chest.
"I'm sorry too."

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

"B-Ben -"
She started to sob, tears streaming down her face.
"What's wrong?"
"It's Unkar he's still coming," Rey started to cry even more.
"I thought we put a restraining order on him?"
"He doesn't seem to care! Ben I'm scared -"

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

"It's going to be okay, we are here for you -"
Ben pulled her closer.
"I'm here for you."
She smiled at his weakly.

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

"Thank you, Ben."
"Your welcome."
She turned away.
"Rey -"
"Yeah?"

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who I am

"I want to give you something -"
"What is-"
He kissed her

Authors Note: hahahahahaha they kissed
Also before y'all go I highly recommend the song in this chapter! It's called Iris and it's by Goo Goo Dolls. ITS SO GOOD AND AMAZING! It inspired this chapter so I recommend listening to it :)
