The sight of Audrey Reedwen and Poe Dameron turned heads. The mere thought of Audrey Reedwen and Poe Dameron turned heads.

Reedwen, perhaps the most loyal, caring, and kind girl anyone would ever know somehow ended up head over heels for Poe Dameron. She would follow him around, a sweet smile never faltering. He would look pretty content with himself, arms linked with Audrey's own. It didn't take much to realize that Audrey was very attractive in a dreamy, almost fantasy like way. In fact, multiple men and women had asked for her affections. She only replied with a sweet smile and a polite rejection, claiming she already had a boyfriend.

Poe was no idiot. He knew that many people wished to have his girlfriend for themselves.

At first, he merely got jealous at this. How dare someone fantasize over his girlfriend?!

As days grew into weeks, and weeks grew into months, his jealousy turned into pride. She was another thing he had that many people didn't have.

The two started off hopelessly in love. Starry eyes and rosy cheeks were exchanged. Longing looks and sweet messages were sent back and forth.

Over time, Poe became more and more distant. However, Audrey stayed the same, remaining completely infatuated with him. Dameron, from a first glance, didn't seem to be as in love with Audrey as she was with him.

- the first month.

Of course, like many couples, Audrey and Poe had a phase where nothing else seemed to matter but the two of them and their love for each other. It was almost as if they couldn't be apart from one another or they would fall ill.

"Dameron! Dameron, come here!" Audrey chirped with the same giddy smile playing at her cheeks.

"Yes? Audrey, what is it? Are you injured?" His voice was frantic and shaky. The girl laughed and shook her head. "No, silly!" She spread her arms out wide. "Come here!"

Poe did so with a smile, leaning into her embrace. "What is all this about?"

"Mmm... Nothing, really. I just wanted to cuddle you. I love you, you know?" Poe chuckled softly and wrapped his arms around her, closing his eyes and savoring the feeling of his beloved breathing softly into his chest. They didn't seem to notice the dozens of pilots amongst them stare in disgust, envy, or even admiration.

"And I love you, Reedwen. Always."

- the seventh month.

While Audrey was in fact hopelessly, blindly in love, she was no idiot. She noticed when Poe avoided her affections or avoided her in general. She didn't pay much attention to it, though. She assumed she was being clingy, and her herself was at fault. Sometimes the two would be together, a joyful smile ever present on Audrey's face. But she noticed they only ever seemed to be affectionate around each other in front of crowds.

The thought that Poe may be using her crept in the back of her mind. He wouldn't, would he?

No... He couldn't. He loved her.

At least... That's what she told herself.

- the eleventh month.

It was nearing their one year anniversary. Audrey had been looking forward to this for about... Well, about a year now.

"Poe!" She just stepped off the fighter and finally got to see him. She didn't get a chance to talk to him on the mission, either from bad communication networks or the fact that Poe was avoiding her.

She tried to tell herself that Dameron didn't just roll his eyes. Instead, she focused on the smile, fake, he wore.

"You'll have to excuse me, Auds." And with only that, he left. Audrey's smile faltered as she waved goodbye and tried to ignore the stinging feeling in her chest.

As usual, she was forced to ignore it and wander off to find her other friends.

"Don't you think he's a little... You know...? Neglecting?" Lyssa, one of Audrey's friends asked. Audrey almost spat out her beverage as if what Lyssa was saying was in a whole different language. She quickly shook her head, eyes widened. "No! He's just busy... That's all..." But deep down Reedwen knew. She knew something was wrong.

Tomorrow was it. Tomorrow was their one year anniversary.

Audrey was ecstatic. She hadn't been this happy since Poe asked her out.

She had to refrain from running to him when she saw him eating. "Poe!" she chirped, hugging him from behind lovingly. He nudged her off with a look she couldn't quite place on his face. "What are you doing?" he snapped. Audrey recoiled, blushing from embarrassment.

"Oh, sorry... Anyways, I just wanted to give you this!" She smiled and handed him a neatly wrapped box with a grin. He looked at her, both puzzled and annoyed. "Uh... Thanks?" At this, her face fell.

"Oh... U-Um, okay...! I'll be... Um, off... Then..." Her voice was dejected and her heart felt like lead. As she walked away she heard one of his friends mumble, "Why do you put up with her?"

She never heard Dameron's response, but she was certain she didn't want to.

As she walked the world turned to mush around her. She didn't even feel it when she sat down beside her friends, for she was far too absorbed in her own thoughts.

Had she done something wrong along the way? Was she overwhelming?

Why didn't the pilot seem to love her anymore?

As if moving on its own, her hand clutched her heard as she almost felt it crack. No... That couldn't be it. Poe still loved her. He had to... Right?

Her thoughts kept her occupied throughout the night. Audrey blamed herself entirely — I mean... It had to be her fault, right? It couldn't be his fault.

As it felt as if she had just fallen asleep, she caught sight of the sunlight drifting in through the window. She heard her dorm mates shuffling around, probably getting ready.

She did the same, much to her annoyance.

Audrey walked down the corridor alone. Her friends simply weren't there at the time and she looked like she had spent the last night doing anything but sleeping.

In her defense, that's exactly what happened. She didn't get a wink of sleep.

"— and he's great in bed!" Audrey heard, scoffing and rolling her eyes. She normally wasn't this bitter, but the voice was very obviously targeting her intentionally. She whipped her head around to see... 

"Poe...?" Dameron, seeing Audrey full and clear, immediately pushed away from — who was that?

Poe hadn't realized that was Audrey walking in front of him. Her hair, usually full of volume and loose, was pulled back. She wasn't surrounded by friends as she usually was.

"What did she say, Dameron? Was she talking about you?" Audrey's voice was full of hurt, betrayal, and disgust. The other girl held a smirk.

"Oh, yeah! Didn't you know?" Audrey's eyes snapped to her.

"You. You shut up. I never asked you," she snapped. The girl recoiled with an offended face. "I need to hear it from Poe." Audrey looked at him. Her eyes softened seeing his face. "Poe, for once in your life, tell me the truth. After a year of this shit, I think I deserve one truth out of you." Several people couldn't help but stare at the girl who was normally so bright and mellow.

His throat felt as if it was closing up. He couldn't seem to form words. He opened his mouth to speak, only to close it once more.

Audrey huffed, pathetically wiping her eyes with her sleeve. "I can't believe you!" She shoved him back with her two hands, sending him stumbling backwards a bit. She was weak at this time, both physically and emotionally. He looked at her with wide eyes, along with every other passing student. "I spend a year! A year! Giving everything I had, everything I felt, everything I was made of to you! I gave everything to you! And you can't even muster up a couple of words to tell me if you are cheating on me?" She looked at him with vulnerable, broken eyes. They softened as she lowered her head. "I'm sorry, Poe... Just... Tell me this one thing, okay?" He gulped, suddenly aware of how many glaring eyes were on him.

"How long has this been going on?" She spat out the word 'this' like venom.

"About two months..." 

Audrey ran a shaky hand through her hair and exhaled with a sob. Before she could break down, her friend tugged at her wrist and ran her to a bathroom. As she retreated, Dameron could hear small and broken mumbles of "What did I do wrong? What could I have done wrong?" down the hall being emitted from her form.

All he could do was stare. All he could do was watch as he, Poe Dameron, somehow turned someone brighter than the sun, sweeter than honey, and happier than anyone he could ever know, into nothing but a broken, empty shell of a girl.

wow, I feel as if I'm really bad at angst, but thanks for requesting Audrey!
