One more chance

Chapter One

Rey looks down at Kylo his eyes full of pain and rejection. She felt sorry it had to end like this, her leaving him just when he needed it the most. But she had a duty to the resistance and that had to come first. She turned and the force bond disconnected for the last time. She walked on to the millennium falcon and sat down holding the pieces of Luke's broken lightsaber, what would he say when he saw it? Hopefully he wouldn't get mad. She looked around for Finn wanting to catch up with what had happened since she left. She saw Finn but he was talking to a cute girl who seemed to be hurt. She could tell there was some sort of romance, she couldn't help but feel a pang if jealousy go through her. Why couldn't Kylo have done that? She didn't want to rule the galaxy with him she had just wanted someone who could understand her and be with her. She was so alone now, no one knew what she was going through. Lost in her thoughts she ran right into someone. Looking up she saw scruffy looking young grinning down at her. "Hey watch were your going" he said. "Don't want to fall of the ship." Chuckling he offered his hand out to shake. She took his hand, wondering how he could be so happy after losing so many fighters. "Your Rey right? My name's Poe, I was the pilot Finn told you about when you first met." So this was the pilot she had heard so much about. "Yeah I'm Rey, glad you made it." They talked for a few minutes about what had happened after she left and Finn, Poe, and Rose's misadventures. After a while they both glanced over at Finn who was still at Rose's bedside. They both noticed each other looking at him and hastily looked away. Poe, not wanting to get in a fight with a new friend quickly explained that he wasn't sure if Rose and Finn where a thing but everyone was pretty sure. "Oh, I don't like him like that!" Rey exclaimed " I just wanted to talk to him, I haven't seen him in so long, he was the first friend I've had since my parents left me on Jakku." Poe's expression instantly changed into alarm. "Oh I'm sorry it's just I really like Finn and I've been trying to be happy for him, I just didn't want him to be stuck in a love triangle." "That's fine, the way he talked about you after we got away from the stormtroopers on jakku I though you were going to get together." They both lasped into an awkward silence. "Well, I'm going to go find Leia and ask what the plan is." Rey said. Poe watches her walk away. He returns his gaze to Finn and Rose. Poe  forlornly looks on as they chatter away, lovingly looking into each other's eyes. Feeling a little sick of the cramped room he walks out to look out into the black void of space, contemplating the resistances' next moves.
