A Jedi's Confession (Feb. 5)
I rolled my eyes at Obi-Wan; he didn’t seem to take offense. We sat in silence for several minutes. I didn’t even want to look in his eyes because I knew that once I did, I’d tell him how I really felt about our situation…and him.
“I remember the first time I had to fight. I was scared to death.” Obi-Wan said, his tone sounding concerned and understanding.
“Who’s scared?” I said, scoffing. But I knew he could see through my act.
“You know, you don’t have to be brave for me or anybody else.” He replied, keeping his voice soft. “I know you’re scared; I would be too if I were you.”
“Are you saying that I’m a coward?” I said somewhat angrily.
“No, no, that’s not it at all. I think you’re very courageous for leaving your mother and traveling several thousand lightyears away from her with your brother. To see strength in one so young is not common.” His blue-gray eyes locked with my sapphire blue ones.
Oh no, he knows what I feel. I can see it in his eyes. “Thank you.” I managed to get out, then I realized I wasn’t breathing. I had to consciously make myself start breathing again. What was it about him that made me get so flustered?
“But as much as I can, I will protect you. With everything that’s in me” He offered. And I knew he would do just what he said.
“Why?” I said, shaken back to reality.
“Because I…it’s my creed as a Jedi to protect those who cannot protect themselves.” He stammered.
Was he about to say, ‘because I love you?’ or was it something else entirely? I shrugged my shoulders. “Well, thanks but I think I can protect myself.”
His face fell slightly. “Maybe, but it’s my job to protect you and your brother.”
I laughed slightly, catching him off guard. “What?” He said confused.
“You…You were going to say something else than what you just said to me about it being your creed as a Jedi to protect those who can’t protect themselves.”
“I was not.” He said taken aback.
“Whatever you say, Kenobi.” I said laughing again.
“Well, it…I….” he said, his face turning a slight shade of red. “I love you.”
