Star Wars One Shots

Don't Forget Me - Part 1 - Kylo Ren

The day the Knights of Ren attacked the Jedi temple was traumatic, not only to those who lost a child, but to the people who cared about Ben Solo, the new leader of the Knights of Ren. You had just finished your schooling to be a doctor for the Resistance the day it happened. You were called straight to the Jedi temple, you had never moved so fast in your life. What if Ben was hurt?

The minute you got the the temple your heart died a little, as every single Padawan, and Jedi Master you tried to help were already gone. No one was saved, the only two people who managed to get away were Master Luke, who seemed to have vanished, and Ben, neither were found, but General Organa insisted that both were still alive, she could feel it. After days of searching the temple for just one survivor, you and your team were forced to end your time at the temple. There were no survivors. The only thing you could do then, get the bodies from the temple, and dispose of them in a proper way.

Not many days after getting all the bodies from the temple, you were sent back to the Resistance base, and were called in to talk with General Organa. You expected the worst, they found Ben. But you could feel whatever she had to say wasn't good, it was going to destroy you, and that it did.

You walked into the holo room, and saw General Organa leaning on a table, and holding her heart. "General-" You began, but soon realized this wasn't your superior talking, it's your best friends mother. "Leia, where- is Ben okay?" Your bottom lip was trembling as she faced you and you finally saw her tear stained face, and bloodshot eyes.

"He is alive." She whispered, taking a few steps closer to you. A smile crossed your lips for an all too short second. "Well, that's good, right?" She didn't say a word, only looked at you with sad eyes, and somehow you knew, you knew exactly why she was crying. "He didn't- he couldn't have. Ben could never do such a thing!" It was your turn to turn into a sobbing mess. "He isn't our Ben anymore (Y/N)." As she shook her head, you backed away from her, like that would somehow change what had happened the past few days. "He's Snoke's apprentice now." Her lip shook as another wave of tears escaped her eyes. "He's the new Master of the Knights of Ren- the ones who did this." That's when you knew your heart had broken into the smallest piece possible. The man that you assumed could be your soulmate, if there even was such a thing, had killed all those Jedi Masters, and Padawans.

Several years after the attack on the Jedi temple, you still weren't the same, anyone who ever knew you noticed. You finally began making friends again, the closest of those friends being Poe Dameron, the best pilot the Resistance has. "So, (L/N). Are you going to isolate again tonight, or are you actually going to spend time with your best friend?" Poe walked into the medical bay, and sat in a chair while you cleaned up from the return of several harmed pilots. "Is this a real option, or are you forcing me to come with you either way?" You laughed softly, and finished up.

"Well, you don't have to come. But I mean, it is a big day. So why wouldn't you come?" You looked over at Poe curiously, not understanding what this big day thing was. "What's today?" You started walking to the door, waving your hand for Poe to follow. "Really (Y/N)?" He looked almost annoyed, but mostly sad. "What did I forget?" You started to worry, and think of all important dates in your life.

"(Y/N). Your birthday." You shook your head, and rolled your eyes. "Poe you know I don't celebrate that anymore. We go through this every year." You escorted him out of the bay, and locked the doors. "Don't let his actions ruin your life."

You side-glanced at him, not wanting to talk about Ben with anyone, especially him. "I'm not doing anything because of Ben, Poe. I'm not celebrating my birthday because I don't see the point. Ben isn't the reason I'm not a social person, you should know that by now." Poe often liked to bring Ben into conversation, especially when he finds a behavior of your annoying, or wrong. "Look, I'm sorry. But when was the last time you celebrated your birthday?" He stood in front of you, blocking your path to your room.
