Life was simple, then life happened

Night falls with gravity,
The earth turns from sanity,
Taking my only friend I know,
He leaves a lot, his name is "Hope".

I'm never what I like,
I'm double sided, and I just can't hide,
I kind of like it when I make you cry,
'Cause I'm twisted up, I'm twisted up inside.

The horrors of the night melt away,
Under the warm glow of survival of the day,
Then we move on,
My shadow grows taller, along with my fears,
And my frame shrinks smaller as night grows near.

I'm sorry Finn...

I'm an awful jerk

an awful friend, please
Forgive me!

GO AWAY!

Goodbye Finn

That Jerk From School

Poe? How can I make it up
to you and Finn?

You can't

I'm sorry, please
forgive me...

No Rey. I love him,
but he loves you, so I
backed off because I
thought he would be
happy with you if he
couldn't be happy with
me, but you hurt him
and you hurt me. See
you around school.

"Thanks for meeting with me," I say as Leia sits on the bench beside me. "How's Kylo?"

"Well, right now he's probably sobbing into his pillow, like he has been since you two broke up. He really likes you, Rey." She responds.

"Oh..." I say, and we sit in silence for a moment.

"Leia? Can I ask you a question?" I ask.

"Of course dear!" She says.

"Is he playing me? Did he make a bet on me?" I ask, leaning and looking forward on the bench.

"I'm not sure. I don't think he did, because he wouldn't make a bet he would lose." She answered, quite sure of herself.

"Oh." I say quietly, part of me wants to cry. When did that happen? I look at Leia cautiously. "So he doesn't actually like me?"

"I think he's made some bad friends, and even worse choices. This all started when his middle school coach decided he wanted to move with Ben's class to the high school. Snoke is very manipulative, and I think he got into Ben's head. And he and his knights of ren fell in with each other, and then they got their little band of followers..." She sighs and rubs her forehead. "It was all over from there. But, I also think he may have met someone who will help him turn around. He does like you. I don't think I've ever seen anyone turn his head like you do. The issue will be getting him to realize that." She smiles at me sadly.

"Oh. You really think I can do that? Help him turn around?"

"I'm sure you can, Rey." Her smile softens, almost mischievously, and I realize how alike she and Uncle Luke look.

Well, that's strange... I think.
