When you're gone

Chapter 1

Katara sat on her front porch, Aang beside her. They were both very quiet. They knew something was going to happen soon. Aang was going off to the army to fight in the war.

Katara couldn't help it anymore. She felt like she was about to explode.

"Aang?" Aang looked at her with those stormy-gray eyes of his.

"Yes?" Katara just hugged him and started to bawl. Aang hugged her back.

"Katara….don't…don't cry…..I hate it when you cry….stop…." But Katara didn't stop. It just felt so good to let the tears fall. She looked up at him with her azure-blue eyes.

"I love you." She sobbed.

"I love you too." Aang started shedding tears of his own. The army bus pulled up. Aang looked at the woman he loved, gave her one last hug and kiss, and got on the bus.

The army bus smelled like gasoline and crud. He got in a spare seat, and looked out the window at Katara, who looked down. The bus pulled away. The two lovers looked at each other till they couldn't see each other anymore.

Katara was now practically screaming with misery in her bedroom. OK, she thought. You can handle this, Katara. He'll only be away two years. She got up and got a drink of water and washed her face. She stared in the mirror. A girl with Carmel colored hair and red eyes stared back at her. Katara always sang when she felt lonely. So she started to sing.

I always needed time on my own

I never thought I'd need you there when I cry

And the days feel like years when I'm alone

And the bed where you lie

Is made up on your side

When you walk away

I count the steps that you take

Do you see how much I need you right now?

When you're gone

The pieces of my heart are missing you

When you're gone

The face I came to know is missing too

When you're gone

The words I need to hear to always get me through the day

And make it okay

I miss you.

a/n: I know, kinda sad. Review!
