Chapter 6

Jyn looked at Newt and back at Cassian. Cassian nodded and she got off him so that the both of them could get up.

"Newt, I'm really sorry I tried to-"

"Jyn, you should have told me you came and-"

"Hey, Newt. Cut it." Cassian said and crossed his arms at his chest. He shot the wizard a don't-touch-her look and took Jyn's hand. "I think we need to leave Mister Animalist alone."

"No wait, I'm sorry, I just..." Newt said and took a few seconds break. "I'm not good at making conversations in general with humans. That's why I chose to be a Magizoologist." He said and looked at his shoes.

"Oh, Newt..." Jyn said and hugged Newt. Cassian looked around trying to ignor the fact that he was jealous. The two broke away from the hug and the wizard looked at her.

"You should go now. It's preety late, you know." He said.

"Yes. Thank you, Newt." Jyn said and taking Cassian's hand, walked to the stairs to get out the case.

Once they were out, Cassian couldn't help himself and asked: "Jyn, do you feel something for the animals guy?"

Jyn looked at Cassian in shock. "Cassian, you know I only see him as a friend."

"Doesn't look like that."

"Cassian, please-"

"Jyn, explain me what's going on." He shot back at her. She gave him a puzzled look.

"I can't beleave you don't trust me." She said.

"Jyn, I trust you with my life, please-"

"I can't beleave it, Cassian!" She yelled at him as tears came into her eyes. "You said you would be with me all the way. Looks like all the way to you means only a mission." She said in a calmer tone. Cassian, on the other hand, felt like someone hit him in the chest. Her words hurt him. They stuck in his head.

Because he said no word, Jyn turned around and went to her room, closing the door hard behind her.

Tina walked into Newt's house with Queenie by her side.

"Tina, tell me again, why are we here?" Queenie asked looking at her sister.

"We haven't heard from him in months. And MACUSA needs him."

"You need him too, don't you?"

"Stop reading my mind, Queenie!" Tina said and walked further into his house. "Oh what a mess!" Papers where everywhere and pencils thrown on the floor. A drawing of a niffler was hung by the wall and in a cage on a very unorganized desk were baby basilisks. "Newt!" Tina said again. No word. No sound.

"Tina, he's not dead, stop thinking that!"

"Queenie!"

"Sorry, I can't keep myself from doing it." Queenie said and looked around. On the floor, a brown glove laid like thrown there. It was clearly smaller than Newt's hand, for sure. Queenie took it in her hand and saw a small name written on the leather of the glove: Jyn Erso. "Uhm, Tina, do you know any Jyn Erso?"

"No, why do you ask that?" Tina said, stepping closer to Queenie.

"I think this belongs to her." She said showing her sister the glove.

"How did this get here?" Tina asked, examining the leather. The door opened suddenly, showing Albums Dumbledore in the entry. "M-Mister Dumbledore..."

"Goldstein, follow me." he said as the two sisters looked at each other and followed the old wizard.

Jyn woke up next morning with her hair a mess and her eyes were red. She didn't get much sleep last night. It was all Cassian's fault in her point of view. He lied to her. He used her. All just to get a better place in the Rebellion. And she trusted him, she beleaved he was broken like she was. Both in this fight from the age of 6. He might be broken, but he showed it to her just to make her vulnerable, didn't he? All the speech she said about Rebellions that are built on hope was based on that single sentence he said to her on Jedha. But he made it just to win a battle and be highly recognized. She would kick him and hurt him, but she can't forget the sparks in her that appeared when he kissed her. She did feel something for him, but love is blind and that's why she can't let the love make her mind change. She sat up and swallowed. She needed to end this. Today. She was used once by him to get her father killed, but she understood that were orders. But this? Only his desire to fight in higher battles. She was just a way to make him a better fighter, not to start a relationship with him. All those truths hurt her, made her think she was shot right in the heart. She went to the bathroom and washed her face with cold water. "I'm going to end this." She said and put her hair in a high ponytail. She arranged her vest on her shoulders and went straight to his room. She knocked. She needed to get used to call him Captain Andor again. Not Cass. Not even Cassian. Just Captain Andor.

And there he was, Captain Andor. He opened the room. She went inside and avoided his gaze. Her eyes landed on Newt's briefcase that she forgot to take with her last night. At least now he knows she didn't lie.

"What is it, Jyn?" He asked, putting his hands on her shoulders. One of his hands went under her chin to make her look in his eyes. She pushed him away and he looked at her in shock. "Jyn-"

"Don't take me with 'Jyn', Cassian!" She yelled at him. "You used me for your rank. I saw it! You just used me again for the Rebellion! I don't want to-"

"Used you?!? Jyn, you're my only family, please, just stop!"

"I won't! Cassian, we..." She said and took a deep breath. "We need to brake up."
