-

luke spent the whole day thinking. could leia really do that to him? why would she need to? he didn't remember doing anything to her.

when he was home, he found her in the cinema room. he contemplated going in to see her, then said fuck it to himself and walked in. "what did you do?" he asked as he stood in the door way.

she whipped her head to look at him, "what do you mean?"

"don't play dumb, leia! what did i ever do to you?" luke tried to keep his voice strong, but he felt betrayed.

"i-i'm sorry..."

"then why did you do it?!" he was yelling now, everyone in the castle could probably hear him. he didn't care though. "everything was going so good, until you decided to out us to the whole school! do you understand how horrible that is?"

leia was on the verge of crying, avoiding contact with her brother as she looked at the ground. he heard her mutter something, "what?"

"i like han, okay? i'm sorry but i do! and it hurts me to watch you guys together!"

luke stared at her with his mouth slightly open, "but... you said you were happy for me? leia, you could've just told me." she was looking in his direction now.

"that wouldn't do anything! i couldn't just break you guys apart because of my feelings!"

"but you nearly did!" a few tears streamed down her face as she started to sob. luke swore to himself and left the room. he was suddenly stopped by one of the maids. "what?" he asked, furious from the fight.

"y-your father, prince luke.." he softened his face, following her as she walked off to where anakin was. leia's sobs grew quieter. he wondered if the maid even heard her in there, or if she just didn't want to bother the girl.

they stopped at his father's room, and the maid let him in. "thank you," he told her, making his way to the bed. anakin was there, but he didn't seem conscious. "what.. what happened?" he asked the nurse that was there.

"we don't know, sir luke, he just suddenly collapsed. i'm sorry." he saw the sheets lift slightly, indicating that his father was still breathing. "it only happened a minute or so ago, he was about to come downstairs when a maid noticed him."

luke internally thanked god that they had the nurse here already. "do you think he'll wake?"

"i'm not certain." he sighed, nodding to her and waiting as she left the room. luke started to cry then.

so much had happened today, and luke didn't know if he could handle any more. he sat down on the bed next to anakin, taking his hand. "i'm so so sorry, father. i should have appreciated you more."

luke heard the door open but didn't look. he knew it would be leia. "what happened?" he told her everything, watching as she sat down on the other side of the bed.

"we have to be here for him," he said. she nodded slowly, a frown on her face as she looked at their father.

-

they had sat there for hours, leia laying down and falling asleep beside anakin at some point. luke left, his face feeling tight from the tears he shed. the day felt cursed, and all he wanted to do was just sleep forever.

he decided not to eat dinner when he realised it was 7 pm, only slowly sliding under his own covers and falling asleep fast.
