I "WAKE UP" TO THE SOUND OF MARCHING FEET and I know it is time to leave. I look at the clothes I picked out yesterday and decided not to wear them. Instead I put on my tight pants that are white and throw on a tight fitting crop too  that is also white. Lastly I put on some knee high boot and braid my hair. I look in the mirror and think:

This is a new me. I deserve to be alone I fact I will be alone. The idea of running away from the Resistance and starting a new life away from the First Order, the Resistance and the Force had been turning in my head all night. And I had finally made up my mind. After the Resistance engaged with the First Order I will land my fighter on Kashyyyk and disappear. The droid in my X-wing will fly my fighter back to base and no one will find out what happened to me.
I walk out of my room confidently holding my head up high and stride towards my X-wing. Everyone stops to look at me as I pass by and some of they say Hi but I don't reply because well it's a new me. I especially like it as I past by boys and they stare at my body in awe and how the girls look at me in a jealous way. Man I should have started dressing like this way before. I love this attention and power over people. I think to myself.
As I round the hanger's door I instantly jump back placing a hand on my heart trying to stop it from beating so fast. I had spotted Poe and I didn't realize how nervous I really was about him seeing me like this. I took a deep breath in and gathered my confidence and strode into the room. Poe had his back to me but once he realized the person he was talking to had stop listening to him; he turned around to see what they were looking at.
Our eyes met for a second but I turned my head holding it up high. As I past Poe I smiled to myself as he watch very movement I made in awe. When I pass by my X-wing group one of they whistles and I reply back with a wink casting a glance back at Poe to see if he was watching and he was with jealously burning in his eyes. I think Man I REALLY like this.
As I reach my plane I hear some one call my name and I turn around to see Poe. He stares at me with ravishing eyes as I lean on into my plane crossing my arms.
"Hey listen I just wanted to say sorry for not seeing you yesterday. I was just still in shock. And I also wanted to say I forgive you for not coming to me yesterday and apologize to me..." I stop listening to him after he said he forgives me for not coming to him yesterday. After that comment I was fed up with him and started to think what did I ever see in him.
After a long rant of saying sorry and saying he forgives me he finally looks at me for a response.
I stare at him dead in the eyes and say, "Safe flying." And climb up the ladder shutting the X-wing's door leaving Poe dumbfound and shocked with my response. I start turning on the engines as a devious smile creeps on my face.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

As I fly my fighter in hyper drive, to get to Kashyyyk faster, the events before started flashing in my head. I then started to think about my actions and how I responded to other people. I instantly regret everything I said and did. Even though having power over people made me feel good it wasn't me. I decided that the new me would not act like that anymore and if I got the chance before I ran away I would apologize to Poe.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Once we exit hyper drive we regroup and wait for news from the control room at the Resistance base. As we wait we spot ships poping out of hyper space and I instantly recognize them as the First Order. I quickly tell over my head set "dive Resistance, into the atmosphere before the First Order sees us." All of the fighter stealthily dive before the enemy ships see us.
All of the Resistance ships that are carrying ground fighters drop their people off at the capital of the planet where we know the First Order will attack. The Resistance prepares for the first wave of the First Order. As I hover I look to the fighter beside me and see Poe staring up at the sky watching. I start thinking about talking to him but then I think it isn't the time to start taking about personal problems. The longer we wait for the enemy the more I feel that something bad is about to happen. I flip on my head piece and connect only to Poe's fighter. I hesitate and start to say, "Listen Poe..." but I never get to finish because almost on cue hundreds of TIE fighters and First Order ships coming zipping in through the atmosphere shooting at us. I quickly adjust my course as a TIE fight shoots past me shoot lasers at me. I look to Poe and let a sigh of relief that he was fast enough to dodge a TIE fighter coming at him. However as I look out the other side my fellow X-wing member was not so lucky and is plummeting to the ground. I take a gulp and start flying into action.
As the fight goes on I shoot down countless enemy ships but anyone can see that the Resistance is not going to come out victorious but I keep fighting. I stop targeting the little TIE fighter and start shooting at the ships that contain the storm troopers that are supposed to fight on the ground. I shoot down a couple dozen in skill and swiftness. Then out of the corner of my eye I see an ominous black ship start descending towards the ground. I recognized he ship as one that is carrying precious "cargo" so I make my way over to it and start blasting it with all the power my little X-wing can manage. I feel a strange pull towards this dark ship but I ignore it. Another fighter joins in my attempt to shoot down the enemy ship and I look to see that it is Poe. I smile at him with gratitude and he gives me a thumbs up.
Together we start inflicting damage but the ship looms over the capital and is very close. I start to fear for the lives below me because I realize that if this ship makes it to the ground then this civilization will die at the hands of the First Order. So I start doing maneuvers that normal a X-wing can't do this then increase the damage to the ship significantly and for once it looks as if the dark ship won't reach the ground.
I am so focused on destroying the ship that I don't see two TIE fighter racing towards me. I hear Poe yell something to me but it is two late as the TIE fighters shoot at my plane and my fighter starts falling to the ground. I lost all control and function to my ship except my head set so I do the only practical thing a person would do if the were about to die. I turned the communication to Poe's ship and start talking to him.
"Poe", and with one one word I start to break down and cry, " I am so sorry please forgive me. I am a terrible person and the world will be better without me."
"Shh Roe calm down you are not a terrible person. I know at least one person who will think the world is not better with you not in it. In fact if you die... no you aren't going to die. Roe please you have to live you are the best pilot in the Resistance think of something."
"Poe... I can't." I instantly feel calm when those words leave me mouth I am finally at peace excepting my death. Just as I am about to make impact with the ground I say , "Poe I love..." and then everything goes dark.

Cliff hanger!!! Is Roe dead or will she live? Will the Resistance win or will the First Order? If Roe does live what will happen?
