Losing a fight was hard for her pride to take but with her father, it's almost like she expects to lose. I tended her wounds and soothed that wounded pride till she fell asleep in the morning she would need painkillers which I didn't have. So after assuring myself she was asleep I slipped out to head towards the nearest pharmacy store. However I didn't make it far when her father stepped out of his car, I was afraid before but now I'm just infuriated. I wasn't a violent person but he should have shown restraint, he didn't need to do that nor go so far.

Catherine; " What do you think you're doing here... It would be wise to leave."

Ethan; " Of course she found someone who could match her fire, just like her mother... I came because I wanted to talk to you but I didn't wish to run into Jyn again. So I sat out here trying to figure out a way to do both."

Catherine; " I'm right here speak quickly because I have to go buy medicine and I don't have much time to waste with you."

Ethan; " Ha... Jyn is my successor I need her to be strong to take over after I retire but she refuses to grow, you weren't the first person she has been with. Each one of them distracted her from the future goals, but she never defended them as fiercely as she did you... I'm not here defending my actions I know I went too far but if she isn't ready to take over our family will be destroyed... "

Catherine; " As her father, you shouldn't force her to do as you wish or want, maybe she doesn't want the life you have."

Ethan; " As a normal girl who hasn't seen life's undercity that's easy to say... My family controls a large portion of the black market it's because of our necessary evil that trafficking and drugs are eliminated. Our rivals want this city to burn while strung out on drugs..look I can't explain everything as I have said more than enough. Just know that she's the only one who can do what I have done... Have a good night"

He was right I didn't understand anything he said because I haven't been apart of that life. But Jyn is what matters to me and if the city has to burn to protect her, God will forgive me. I can't go against her wishes, I will support her and stand by her choices. I say that but the question continues to plague me as I continued to the pharmacy. There's a lot I don't understand about Jyn and her family I just know it's dangerous. I arrived home quicker than I realized my thoughts showing no signs of resting, but when I entered Jyn was up again.

Jyn; " He isn't a bad father or person he was raised to be strong. This world is cruel and sometimes it needs something close to it... I took this task on because I felt I had to you know... But he is right you don't understand our world or the undercity, we have a lot of sacrifices invested here... I shouldn't have dragged you into this world of mine."

Catherine; " You don't get to decide that... Don't you dare decide that for me, I'm here because I want this Jyn... My world was meant to collide with yours and I don't regret it, so don't you dare say that. We are in this together right..."

Jyn; " You should walk away is all I'm saying..."
382Please respect copyright.ＰＥＮＡＮＡ4Sn1zQWn3t
Catherine; " Tell me to walk away properly, look me in the eyes, and tell me that's what you want... Because I can't do that, I'll stand by you no matter what."

Jyn; " Even if your God told you personally to abandon me. Ha"

It was her way of deflecting and making jokes but I felt she needed further assurance, so I gave it.

Catherine; " If my God demanded I ignore my heart's direction then he should not have given me one. I do not wish to go against my faith but for you, I would gladly fall to the gates of hell to stand by you... Because my heart tells Me I found the star in my night sky... My mother wrote these very same words to my father who hadn't always believed in God. Now back to bed trouble maker."

Her laugh and tears were genuine but I finally got through to her, that I'm here. It's been so many years since I read that letter to my father, I didn't fully grasp what they meant. But looking at her I couldn't picture myself not at her side sharing the burden. We will light each other's night sky to find our home because we are certainly bound. After setting the medicine aside on the table I curled up next to her, running my fingers through her hair. Choices to make are definitely our biggest burdens to carry but they are worth the extra weight when you have this. Just don't break my fragile heart Jyn, because I'm afraid your the only one who could fix it.
