The next morning she had decided to bring her little project to work the next day. It must've been quite a sight to watch as Rey ran inside, balancing her phone, bag, and a notebook in her hands.
"Well Rey what do we have here?"
Poe came out from the back, a grin on his face.
"Have you went to the hospital recently?"
"What are you talking about Rey?"
"The hospital! Like you know —" she mumbled the rest of the sentence, moving her hands about wildly.
"Rey, slow down."
"Sorry..."
"It's fine, why don't you try saying that again."
"Have you went to the hospital recently?"
"Yeah."
Rey piped up reaching for her notebook. Her pencil hovering over Poe's name.
"What for?"
He lifted up a hand wrapped in a thick bandage.
"I hurt myself in a motorcycle accident."
"Is it infected?"
"No."
"Still hurt?"
"No?"
"Nothing that can make you die?"
"Woah, Rey what's this all about?"
"Nevermind."
Rey stalked off to the back, setting her bag down.
"Well that's one name off the list." She sighed, crossing off Poe's name.
"Rey are you okay?"
Her head turned to face Benny, he smiled worriedly, his orange curls going in front of his eyes.
"Yeah I'm fine." She looked down at the list.
"You don't look fine."
"B are you dying?"
"What are you talking about?"
"Are you dying?"
"Me? Dying? Rey if I was dying wouldn't I be at the hospital or something?"
"Well maybe you have cancer, or a terminal illness." She narrowed her eyes. "You could be slowly dying right now." Rey poked a finger into his chest.
"Are you sure you're okay?"
"Just peachy."
"Rey what is going on?"
"Nothing! I just want to know if you're dying! Or maybe badly injured. Have you hurt yourself recently? Like badly?"
Benny shook his head.
"I may be clumsy but the injuries I get are nothing Neosporin and a bandage can't fix."
"Are you sure?"
Her eyes scanned over him.
"Yes, I'm sure."
"Uh huh."
"Well I-I'm going back now."
Rey sighed as Benny exited the back room.
"Hey Rey? Do you know where Ms.Organa is?"
"No, why?"
"Haven't you noticed that she hasn't shown up to the shop for the past few days?"
The same feeling swelled in her chest.
"Yeah...why?"
"She must've been out for something important. Something urgent. I hope she's okay."
"Yeah..."
A new unfamiliar feeling filled her body. It was as if she was close, to something, or someone.
A/N: so I finally finished this chapter although I'm not fully satisfied with it lol. Still recovering from the long break on here and getting into writing again. But hope you enjoyed <3
