Bound to you {Reylo}

-5-

Ben:

I can't stop thinking of her. Her face, skin and her lips. Her lips, so soft and pure. What Rey was thinking is right, nothing will ever be the same. I still have the feeling of her fresh on my own skin. In that particular moment, I felt the pull to the light. It was strong, forceful and clear. Other than my strong feelings for Rey, that is one thing I am sure of; how clear it was. This time I don't think I can resist this pull. I have to do something about it. As I pace around my room I think about what I am going to say to Rey. What I want to say and what I am capable of saying. I don't want to lose her. And if I can help it, I will never lose her. Ever. It makes my heart ache to not see her. I finally gather up the courage to tell her what I'm going to do about the pull to the light.

---------------------------------

When I walk into her room she is pacing back and forth, I see the worry in her eyes. "What's wrong?"

"Ever since we kissed I could feel something more than what I had before and I'm not sure you'd want to hear what I have to say." She looks at me; still pacing.

"The pull to the light, I know, you can say it, I won't stop you," I say. She stops pacing and comes closer to me. I grab her hand and hold it for a minute before she speaks up.

"So what are we going to do?" Her breathing trembles.

"I have no clue. But we will figure it out together Won't we?" I pull her into my chest.

Rey lifts her head up to look me in the eyes. Nothing but love coming from them. And at that moment. I knew that at this moment that nothing could touch us. We could and we would rule the galaxy together in whatever way possible. We were one.

Rey:

Breaking eye contact between us Ben takes my hand and the both of us hurry down the hall. He takes me to a huge room its dark but when I walk into it I feel comfortable. A bed, desk, closet and a bathroom all make up the large room with a vase of carnations on the desk.

"I had some people set this room up for you. It's right next to my chambers, I thought you would like it better than the one before." He lets go of my hand and walks around the room.

"I was just fine with the room I had," I reply moving closer to him wanting every inch to get smaller between us, leaving the two of us with no space in between.

"But this one is closer to me."

"True." I give out a small laugh and Ben shows me the smile I've always wanted to see. He places his hand on my right cheek with his thumb just below my chin. I feel myself tremble as he kisses my cheek, wanting more, overcome by his presence. Everything feels right but then his spoken words hurt me.

"I have some business to attend to get comfortable, there are books and paper to write if you need to. I'll be back in a moment." leaving me alone with nothing but rusty books.

--------------------------------

-I've experienced darkness. Like my grandfather before me. My mother always told me stories about Uncle Luke and their father was Darth Vader before realizing that he was still within the light side. If only. If only I could see within the light. The Supreme Leader is too strong. He's got me under his thumb. I wish there was a way to get out of his grasp.

-I feel it again, the pull to the light. Darkness has now overcome me and I'm more powerful than ever. I will continue what Darth Vader started and I will finish it.

-There was a girl. I've heard of her before, but only in dreams. Her face was so familiar. She was strong with the force, full of compassion. So beautiful.

-I thought about her every second since she left me, after defeating me at Starkiller Base. Her voice and eyes are unforgettable. Rey.

-I will give up for her. I love her. Rey will save me from the darkness.

I've read through some of his entries. What he's written. I look down to see a wet spot on the paper, I had shed tears. I never thought in my whole existence that I would fall in love with someone who in an earlier time, I had called a monster. All of the things that have happened started to even into a whirlwind around me. I was later trying to gasp for air. I couldn't breathe.

Please help me, Ben. I need you.

Please.

--------------------------

Ben:

Please help me, Ben. I need you. Please.

I hear a crying voice, a voice that's near, in pain. Rey. Thoughts rush into my mind thinking about where she is and what is happening. I stop what I am doing and rush to her.

She's passed out on the floor. I move closer to see that she's holding a small notebook, which at this point, doesn't matter anymore. All that matters is Rey. My sweetheart. I know what I have to do.
