The Dark Side Of The Light

Chapter Twelve

Ben's POV

I sat in a small chair beside her bed in the medical room, holding her hand gently. Hoping that she'd wake up soon. I felt guilty for what had happened to her, knowing that if I had just been there, this wouldn't have happened to her.

Luke entered the room quietly. "Ben, it's late, you should get some rest," he said to me.

"No, I'm fine, I'll rest when I know that Rey is okay," I replied stubbornly.

"She's going to be okay," Luke said.

"I don't care, I'm staying with her. She'd do the same thing if it were me."  I replied.

"Fine." Luke said, walking out of the medical room.

I looked down at Rey's sleeping face, she looked so peaceful, all the worry and sadness from the day gone. It was the only time that she ever looked like the girl I had met a year ago. I smiled slightly at the thought of the clumsy, bright, hopeful girl I had known. Deep down, I knew that that Rey was gone, and had been replaced by the girl that was now broken and hopeless and cried herself to sleep every night because of the nightmares that plagued her. I knew that it was the voices fault.

Rey's POV

I woke up in a room with bright white lights, immediately recognizing it as the medical room, I'd been here a few times before from the results of a few rounds of truth or dare.

There was a stinging pain in my side where the man had stabbed me. I opened my eyes and looked up and saw Ben. I smiled faintly.

"Hey," I said to him quietly.

"Hey," he said back. "What happened?" He asked.

"I was attacked from some dude who said that Supreme Leader Snoke sent him to get me, and I-I wasn't strong enough to fight against him." I replied quietly.

"I was scared that I was going to lose you, I found you on the ground in the field unconscious in a puddle of your own blood," Ben said, tears filling his soft brown eyes.

"But you didn't lose me, I'm still here and I'm not going anywhere," I said to him quietly. "I love you, Ben."

"I love you to, Rey," he said quietly.

"Its late, go get some rest, I'll talk to you in the morning." I said.

"Okay. Goodnight Rey," he said, kissing my forehead gently before leaving the room, shutting the door behind him silently.
