Not so Imaginary

• Haven't I Given Enough? •

No one told them this was wrong, why would they? How would they know? She always acted like a perfect angel around everyone else.

After years of the same shit, Marysol was finally able to realize how horrible their 'best friend' actually was and finally cut them off for good.

Letting out a sigh, Marysol hugged their legs tight trying to bring comfort but nothing was working. It was still there, the fear, the anger...the suffering.
Then out of nowhere, there was a slight change of temperature.

'Shit not now...he really does love showing up at the worst moments'

"Marysol?" The familiar tone of his voice made a shiver run down their spine.
No answer, they didn't want him to see them like this.

"Are you alright?" He asked
'no'
"Yes" they answer almost whispering

"You're lying" he said
'I am'
"I'm not" they responded
"Then why won't you look at me?" He questions
Hesitantly, Marysol turned towards him eyes still puffy and bags under them.

"Starlight...talk to me" he whispered
He wanted to reach out but he knew he wouldn't be able too, instead all he could do for now was talk.

"Are you somewhere safe?" He asks, they knew what he meant.
"I am, I promise" they answered. Kylo hummed feeling some relief but he was still worried.

Well, he was more angry than worried, angry at the thought of someone harming them.
"Did someone hurt you? If someone laid a hand on you I will personally hunt them down" he stated and no he was not joking.

Marysol was a bit taken aback by his statement and they knew that he was in fact capable of hunting someone down.
"What? No! Kylo please don't hunt anyone down for me" they quickly said
"It's just... one of those days were everything feels like it's falling apart" they explained.

Kylo's anger quickly vanished and instead was replaced with worry.
"Were you thinking about those events?" He said trying to thread as lightly as possible.

Marysol had mentioned it before but never in heavy detail, all Kylo knew is that their friend was a piece of shit and that if he ever saw her he would choke the life out of her.

"Yes... but I don't know how to explain it, no matter how much time passes.. it still seems to affect me" they paused for a moment to compose themselves
"I'm trying to forget and to leave all that shit behind but it still manages to crawl back into my mind and make me feel worthless" they finished holding back a sob.

"You're not worthless" he said
"Kylo I-" he cut them off
"No, you are not worthless. I don't care who says it or why. You are not worthless.. not to me" he tells them

"That's not what she or other people saw in me" they said
"Then I'll tell you what I see" he said

"I see someone who is talented, funny, a bit dramatic at times.." he lists different traits trying to bring their smile back
"Are you talking about yourself?" They said with a smile

"Watch it" he warns "what I'm trying to say is... you're an amazing person and having a bad day doesn't make you less amazing"

The final words made Marysol's heart flutter and their cheeks felt warm. He wasn't lying, he wasn't saying it just to be nice, no.. he was being sincere.

"You claim to be the most terrifying man in the Galaxy, people fear you yet... you are so kind to me" they say
"Just for you" he cracks a small smile.
They stayed in silence, enjoying each other's company. Listening to the birds sing and the breeze making the plants dance.
