I haven't gotten out of my room since the day Jules told me about what happened at the Temple. Shes been trying to talk to me, apologizing but it wasn't her fault. It has been a week now. BB-8 has been with Poe ever since, he tries to make me happy by playing a song or show a video of my parents, but just BB-8 here, next to me, is all I want.

"Okay, wake up." Poe said as he pulled the covers off of me. I kept still. Didnt move an inch. "Hera. Its been a week, you haven't gotten out of your room. Its making me upset. Bens gone, hes Kylo Ren. Im sorry to say that. No matter what you think, bringing him back, it cant be done. It never has been done."

"Master Luke did it before

"Master Luke did it before." I whispered. He did, with his father, Anakin, Darth Vader. Poe sighed.

"You're not him. Get out of bed Hera." I Didnt even move. I felt the anger Poe had. BB-8 told us not to fight. "Hes gone!" I got out of bed.

"I still love him. I dont know why or how. You dont know what it is to feel to be in love. And then you find out about that person, did a horrible things. It broke me." I cried. Poe stood there stunned. "I should hate him, but i cant. I dont know why. Leia believes in him, so do I. I know theres light theres Ben, in that deep, cold, dark, empty, heart of Kylo Rens." He just rolls his eyes and walks out of the room. I sit by the window, looking at the other pilots. I didnt have the guts to go outside. I just needed time alone. I didn't want to talk to Ben at the moment, or Poe, which I already have. Ben has been trying to connect to me but I didn't allow it. A knock on the door made me turn. BB-8 opens the door. It was Leia. I sighed with relief. She gave me a hug.

"Honey, i know whats going on. And it sucks I know. We would never know what really happen that night. Only Ben and Luke and the real truth." She sets me down on the bed.

"I heard the voices. I pushed them away, they scared me. Then again when he was crying how he wanted them to stop. I told him that together we would do it. I lied." I stared at the nightstand.

"Snoke had him, way before you. Stop blaming yourself Hera for something you didn't cause." She pointed at my chest.

"Then why do i feel like it is?" I looked at her. She sighs.

"Love. Love works mysterious ways. I know it because, well Han." We both chuckled. "Hear me on this, Ben has never stopped thinking about you and i know you havent either. You follow whats right. You take what's yours. If you still want to fight for him, then do it. If not, then its fine. Sitting in your room, doing nothing, its not doing anything. You hear me?" She came closer to me.

"But-"

"No buts Commander." I gave her a nod. She gave me on of the best hugs ever. I needed one. She placed her hand on my head, kissing my forehead. "Take time to heal. Be you."

Poe's POV

I was fixing my ship. BB-8 was helping. I stared at Hera's ship. Untouched. I shook off my thoughts and went to fixing my ship.
