Reteach Me | Kylo Ren x Reader

Chapter Twenty Two | Growing Artist

On the day Kylo told you Finn would be dead you were nothing short of bedridden. Having cried all night long and begged Kylo to spare Finn's life until he yelled at you to stop bothering him and to let him sleep. Even then you lay awake in bed, wishing there was a way to warn Finn and to tell him to get himself and everyone off of D'Qar to somewhere safe. You had put many people's lives in jeopardy, if you could switch places with all of them you would. You deserved to die for being so naive and thinking nothing bad would come from "visiting" Kylo. It was your fault that thousands of people would meet their deaths today.

Kylo roused you after you had finally managed to fall asleep, letting you know that your friends had made it back to D'Qar the previous night and today would be the day that they perished. "Why are you telling me this, Kylo?" You asked, hurt by his audacity. "Because love," He said as he started walking toward the bedroom door, ready for work. "Now that you know I'm hoping you'll be more open to me. You won't have that traitor to go back to." You said nothing as you curled yourself back into bed under your covers. The sickening part is he sounded so soft and caring, as if telling you that all of your friends were dead would actually bring you closer to him. It was a sad situation, one that you would likely never recover from.

Griffin woke up that morning as usual, but he was missing something. His mommy usually was the one to wake him up, but this morning he was all alone. He looked around the room to see if his mother was indeed there, putting away clothes or picking up his toys like she sometimes did, but she was absent. "Mom?" He yelled out, it was odd getting out of bed without her there, she had been getting up and getting him ready since before he could even remember.

Maybe she was outside making breakfast and just didn't have time to come get him, Griffin thought to himself. He threw the covers off of him and moved as fast as his little feet could carry him to the living room where he was met with complete emptiness. "Mama?" He called out, confused. "Mommy, where are you?" He asked, running in and out of the kitchen and through the dining room. "Kylo Ren? I'm here!" He was even desperate enough to call out to Kylo for some companionship. After all, Kylo had been fairly nice to him recently. He hadn't given him any reason to be afraid to seek him out.

When he had inspected the entire living and kitchen area he was stumped, surely his mommy wouldn't have left him alone, someone must be here with him! He ran all the way down the hall and knocked on his mommies door as he was told to do by Kylo Ren, but he got no response. "Mom?" He called out, but he heard nothing. Slowly he cracked the door open, looking into the room he had only been into a handful of times. He saw a lump in the blanket on the bed that was much too small to be Kylo Ren, he excitedly ran up to it with a smile on his face.

"Mama! I found you! I found your hiding spot!" Griffin said, he recognized the hair as his mother's and upon seeing she was there safe and sound he relaxed just a bit more. He tapped her back just a bit, still smiling at her. "Mommy, why are you still in bed? It's time to wake up!" He giggled, pulling on the blanket just a bit. The only response he got was just a slight movement under the blanket and a tired moan. "Yeah, Griffin. Mommy will be out in a minute." She sounded tired, really tired. Griffin could tell she needed to get more sleep. "It's okay mommy, you can go back to sleep."

"Thank you, baby. I'll be up in a little while." Griffin smiled at her, patted her on the back and then went back into his room to see if he could sleep some more as well. If mommy still wanted to sleep then obviously it was still time to be sleeping.

Griffin tried his hardest, sitting his bed under his bright red covers and closing his eyes shut tightly, but try as he might he just couldn't fall asleep. He huffed, maybe his mommy was just being silly. It must be almost lunch time by now! He threw his covers to the side and ran out of his bedroom and back into his mommies room, tapping her on the back once more. "Mommy, can I play with my toys?" He asked, feeling kind of bad for disturbing her again.
