I have started living a really good life again.....but I still have that guilt hanging around. I'm having a hard time realizing I tried to kill Han. I cry myself to sleep every night. I haven't told Han about this because I don't want to put any weight on his shoulders.

It's morning so I do my normal routine. I get up take a shower and go eat breakfast. Then I head to the cockpit to meet Han. He didn't hear me come in but I noticed he was slumped in his chair more than usual. He was upset. I walk over to him. He jolts up.

  "Hey Leila!" Han said with a sad but cheerful tone.

  "Han, is there something your not telling me?" I asked, very concerned.

  "No, not at all." He said with a half smile.

  "I know when your lying Han. Tell me what's wrong." I told him. I walked over and sat in the chair next to him.

  "Alright. Last week I went to check on you in your room but I heard crying through the door and I didn't want to disturb you. I came back each night only to hear the same thing. I kept thinking about what I did to you. It's all my fault your like this and I don't see how you forgive me!" Han said sadly.

  "Han! How can you think like that! I would always forgive you! I can't stay mad at you forver, no matter what you did!" I replied a little outraged but more sincere.

  This must've made Han feel better because he said with a huge smirk, "I know, Sweetheart."

   When I heard this I laughed and punched him in the shoulder.

"Well, one thing hasn't changed!" I said.

"What?" Han asked with confused expression.

"Your still that same sarcastic Han!" I said with a smirk.

We laughed and it made both of us feel a lot better. I still cried during the nights because I just couldn't stop tears but this time Han was there to comfort me. So gradually I quit my crying. This made Han feel better too.

  I started to forget about all the bad things that happened. I focused on our new adventures and everything was fine.

  Its been 3 weeks since I last cried. Its morning so I figured Han was awake so I went to the cockpit.

  "Chewie! Hurry! I don't know how we're gonna get out of this one!" Han yelled.

  "Han! What's going on out there!"
I said.

  "Leila! It's fine!" Han said with a lying tone.

  "No! Everything is not fine!" I yelled. I sat down in the copilot seat. "You obviously don't know how to maneuver out of this!"

  "Hey! I can pilot this just fine, Sweetheart! It's me!" Han said with a smirk.

  "Alright you Scruffy Scoundrel. Don't get too proud of yourself." I said with a grin.

"Who's Scruffy looking?" Han said.

  Then something hit the side of the ship. It started pulling us towards another ship.

  "We're in trouble!" Han said.
