A/N: chapter and title inspired by "Wild" by Troye Sivan

"I'll be back in a minute with a menu..." Rey avoided the man's gaze.

"Sounds good." Nodding he sat down on a chair that looked as if it would break at any given moment. Rey stood at his table for a second longer than deemed appropriate before rushing away to grab a menu. The strings that kept the papers together were frayed and falling apart. There were rips along the edges and Rey had to grip the sides to make sure it wouldn't fall apart.

"Here's the menu. Just, be careful with it."

"Why?"

"I don't know if you're blind or something but as you can or can't see it's about to fall apart."

"As a matter of fact I'm not blind, and you shouldn't talk to me, a customer, like that. I don't know if you've heard the saying "the customer is always right" but it's true."

"Okay whatever, just tell me what you want."

"A water would be good for now."

"I'll be back."

The man nodded briefly, not paying much attention to her.

"Asshole." She muttered under her breath as she grabbed a cup from the kitchen.

"Thinks he could treat me like that? He has another one coming..." Rey continued to mutter words under her breath as she filled the cup with room temperature water.

"Your water sir."

He snatched at the cup, without saying a word. Bringing it to his mouth, he took a sip.

"Excuse me?"

"Yes?"

"Why isn't this water cold?"

"What?"

"I said, why isn't this water cold? Its warm, just warm."

"And?"

"How could anyone drink this?"

Rey narrowed her eyes and crossed her arms, facing the man.

"What did you even expect coming to a place like this?" She hissed, keeping her voice low.

"I expected much more."

"You shouldn't have."

"You're right, what could I expect from a trashy looking — whatever this place is."

Rey glared daggers at the man not saying much of a word.

"And the horrible service, I can't even —"

Then he stormed out leaving a tattered book next to his seat. She picked it up and looked over the title.

Romeo and Juliet: Teacher's Edition

Horrible attitude and taste in literature? Wow, I feel bad for whoever has to deal with this asshat on a daily basis.

"What are you saying?"

"What we are saying Ren, is that you're getting out of control."

"What do you mean out of control? I'm perfectly fine! I'm fine!"

"No you're not and until you get yourself together you're not allowed in our apartment."

"W-what? You can't be serious."

"We are. Phasma already packed your shit, now take it and get out!"

Ren turned around to face the many frames on the wall and and sculptures on the tables. Blinded by rage he knocked them over, causing them to crash onto the floor and shatter.

"You're going to have to pay for that."

"Oh, who are you talking to? Obviously not me because I don't live here anymore asshole!"

Then he was gone.

Warning: mentions of abuse

"Could you care to tell me why that customer stormed out this morning?"

"It's no big deal Unkar."

Rey turned away from the man to wash the dishes.

"No big deal? No BIG DEAL? We lost a customer!"

"So?"

"So?! He looked well off! And you know what that means?"

"What?"

"Money! Money you stupid girl!"

She nodded, scrubbing at a plate covered in a dark brown substance that didn't seem to want to come off.

"It won't happen next time."

"It better not."

Then he slapped her.

It was a big blur and suddenly Rey's cheek started to throb.

He slapped her again.

Then the tears threatened to spill and she caught a look of herself in one of the rusty pans on the stove.

A red mark was prominent against her sun kissed skin.

"Do you understand?"

"Yes Unkar, it'll never happen again."

"It better not, hopefully your lesson was learned."

Rey nodded still gripping her cheek. She then turned to watch as he walked away muttering many things under his breath.

After his shadow was no longer seen Rey fell to the floor.

Then the tears came, and there was no way to stop them.

"Luke?"

"Yes Ben."

"I told you not to call me that!"

"Ben, Ren whatever. What did you need me for?"

"Have you seen my Romeo and Juliet copy?"

"Your copy? Don't tell me you lost it —"

Ren looked down at the ground.

"Goddammit Ben! Do you remember when you last had it?"

"Kind of...not really, the day's been a blur."

"Damnit Ben!"

Rolling his eyes Ren went to look in his briefcase once more before it hit him.
