Star Wars: The Force Awakens (high school AU) Kylo Ren is a small time drug dealer, working with his best friend, Hux, in upstate New York. When his grades begin to slip, the teacher decides to change his lab partner, sticking him with the new girl, Rey Kenobi. She's different than the rest. He is even quite fond of her. But soon, Hux's jealousy and Kylo's criminal ways begin to catch up with him. There is a plot by the evil drug kingpin, Snoke, to kill Rey before she spills all she knows about him and his operation. Kylo must straighten his life out and find a way to save Rey before it is too late, and the only girl he ever loved slips through his fingers.

"'That college is a long ways away,' he murmured, then grimaced and shook his head, forcing a smile. 'Well, congratulations anyway.' I stopped, pulling on his arm. 'I'm sorry, Ben,' I said. 'I wish you could come with me.'" Modern!AU in which Rey leaves for college for four years and Ben Solo joins a gang-like cult, working his way up and becoming leader of his division. When Rey comes back will she back will be able to break through his icy exterior? Or will she succumb to the dark side of life?

"Ben, BEN! Why are you doing this?" "I have to" "I see under the sheet of darkness that has fallen upon you, come back before it's too late!" "It already is too late. Goodbye, Rey." Then Rey felt herself fall into a deep, un-peaceful, and dark sleep. Kylo Ren slowly glided away from her unconscious form. A tear, although invisible from the rest of the universe underneath his mask, fell down his cheek. Kylo Ren left the scene of the massacre, where he had just murdered dozens of former fellow Jedi padawans, at the academy his uncle had established. He didn't look back, for he knew that if he did, he would totally break...he would be torn apart. Please note that this story STARTS in the time while Kylo Ren/Ben is at the Jedi Academy and that this story was written directly after The Force Awakens! It does not include ANY of TLJ or TROS canon, please be aware of this as you read. Also I wrote this like 3 or 4 years ago, excuse my grammar mistakes. Yes, I know they're there. No, I will not be fixing them, I'm too lazy for that. Highest Ranking: #4 in Reylo November 2018 I (obviously) do not own Star Wars, only characters that I may create...this is a REYLO fanfiction, so if you do not appreciate or if you dislike this match up, please do not read! I wish not to receive hate! Please forgive me if there are some inaccuracies in here that may not EXACTLY follow the canon Star Wars Universe. I hope you all enjoy my writing! Regards, M.J.
