'I can't believe him!' I thought to myself as I ran away. 'How could he do this to me?' the tears that were burning in my eyes, finally falling down my cheek.
I was running. As hard as I could… as for where to? I had no idea. I just needed to get away… away from everything, away from my family, and especially Aang. I couldn't let him see me like this. I look weak.
I loved him… I love him. Why can't he just see that? Instead he's to interested in Katara, even though she's madly in love with Zuko. Why can't he just be with me?
When did everything go wrong? When did I become incapable of providing for myself?
Finally I reached a cave. It wasn't much… but it was better then the hell I was once in.
Hugging my knees, I closed my eyes praying to all the gods that I'd find someone to love. Someone to hold me when I'm crying… so I don't have to do it alone anymore.
"Why…" I whispered squeezing my eyes shut, causing my final tear of the night to fall. Stopping time as I slowly drifted off into sleep.

'Where is she?' I thought to myself while looking through the large estate. Turning a corner I heard a door slam and the pounding of feet as they ran closer to me. 'Toph' I thought running towards the feet.
A huge boom was heard down the hall. As the smoke cleared, I saw the whole no doubt created by the mighty earthbender. I ran after her. I saw her in the distance. She was running faster and faster. Something was wrong… something had to be.
'I've never seen her like this…' I thought, starting to panic as I air-bended myself to get faster and catch up to her. She turned into a cave in the distance. I yelled her name... it was no use she was too upset to notice anything in the surroundings.
Finally catching up to her cave, I found her in a little ball hugging her knees asleep her tear-stained cheeks so delicate… and beautiful.
The truth was, I loved her. I truly loved her. But I could never tell her that. She doesn't love me. Besides, her parents had arranged a marriage for her. She was to marry a Earth Kingdom prince, and live a happy life.
Seeing her in this state, made my heart break, and yet… my hand slowly drifted toward her face lightly touching it.
'Its so soft…. .' I let my fingers linger there before I felt the faint shiver as her body was feeling the cold air.
I gave a slight frown as I took off my shirt and wrapped it around her. She deserved it. She needed it.
'If only she was mine' I thought as I sat down across from her, my eyes slowly closing. I gave a slight sigh as I finally drifted away in my memories and dreams.
