Why can't you love me?

"Are you questioning me boy?" The fire lord asked his only son. The young prince was shaking; he was terrified of his father. The boy answered his father trembling, "No! Of Course not father! I would never…" a sting pain on his face from being slapped from his father. He tried so hard not cry from this pain. But knowing his father never loved him, it only hurt more. Ozai, the fire lord spoke, "you need to be punished boy" making a smirk upon his face. Prince Zuko bit his lip knowing what the punishment was. He started too walked toward his father and went to his hands and knees. Tears streamed down the young princes face "I'm sorry…"

Remembering those horrible things he did to me, my own Father did disgusting things to me. After my mother left, it was up to my father to punish me. What my father did to me it was unforgivable, and only uncle knew what HE did to me. I told uncle Iroh to keep it a secret because I would be in trouble for him knowing. My uncle didn't like that idea, but he knew I was right he had to keep it a secret for my own sake. I look at my body and remembered the places he touched, the way he would embrace me as he penetrated my small body. He told me he did it out of love, but my father told lies. He never loved me, not ever; he just used my body for his own pleasure. But now…I should be happy right? Then why do I feel so alone, so unloved. I am the Fire lord; I have a wonderful girlfriend, friends who care for me and a mother who loves me. Then why do I feel as if I need something, why do I feel as if I need…Him? No I can't think like that he is a horrible man and doesn't need to see me anymore. But should I be like my father? And abandon him like he did to me? No I shouldn't be like him; I will visit the man who ruined my life. To show him I am a better man than him, show him I am a better leader and son than him.

And maybe have him say "I love you?" …
