Room 424 [afternoon]
Oct. 30th, 2008 06:39 pmAfter a long talk with his grandfather, Ben finally made his way back to his room and picked up his comm unit.
He took a deep breath and then called his mother.
Her face was strangely blurry through the receiver. "Ben?" she said, sounding a little incredulous. "Where are you?"
Ben fought back a sudden wave of emotion. He didn't realize how much he'd missed her until that moment. "I'm at school, Mom," he said, sounding a little wavery. "Can you send a shuttle for me? I have to talk to you."
Mara didn't waste time on asking questions like why something couldn't be talked over now. "It'll be there in the morning," she said immediately. "I'll see you soon."
Ben nodded and disconnected. This was either the start to making everything better, or the worst mistake of his life. The Force wasn't giving him any hints as to which way it would fall.
