Alright. My first time using and I don't exactly know what I'm doing yet so give me some leeway... Let's hope for the best.

"Aang I can't do this anymore!" Katara jerked her hands in the air.

"Katara, please-"

"No, Aang! I don't even know why you try and keep me around! All you seem to care about is your 'Avatar duties' and whatnot!" She paced back and forth angrily. "But when it comes to me, you don't give a-"

"Katara." Aang interrupted firmly, "I'm sorry. I'm trying to put as much of my time into being with you as possible. But the world is a very messed up place right now…"

"Don't act like I don't know what's going on in the world! I know exactly what's going on! But, both you and me know that you could easily take a day, even a few hours, off of work! But you don't!" Katara's arms collapsed and hung limply at her sides. Her face was now wet and sticky from tears that had escaped. She trembled with anger and hurt, her breaths hitching at little sobs.

"Do you even love me anymore, Aang?"

The question was so vulnerable, so sincere, it nearly knocked Aang off his feet. His world came screeching to a halt at those quiet, hopeless words. His face dropped into a horrified gape and he couldn't make a sound. His mind suddenly exploded into a series of apologies he could spout out in an instant, but he didn't. All he could do was uselessly open and close his mouth in an attempt to say something, anything.

"Katara…" he whispered, "How could you say something like that?"

She was having trouble keeping her tears down. Katara could clearly tell she'd hurt him and wanted to take it back but there was no way she could without giving him a loophole to slip through. So she straightened up and fixed him with a stern glare, "I just wish you'd take some time off your Avatar jobs to spend time with me."

But Aang wasn't anywhere near healed from what she'd said and knew, at that moment.

He was not good enough for her.

He stood stiffly from the chair he had collapsed into, "Katara." he began softly.

She gave him a confused frown, "What."

"I'm sorry. I'm not good enough for you. You deserve someone better than me." His voice was small and weak, but sure.

Now Katara was getting worried, "What? What are you talking about, Aang?" she demanded.

He lowered his head and his shoulders slumped, "We need time to think. Time to ourselves."

Her eyes widened, "Aang what are you saying?!" Her voice cracked in panic.

Aang lifted his head again and looked her in the eye, "I'm leaving."

Katara's heart stopped. A gasp was the only sound that was made in the room. She had never imagined Aang would ever say that to her. He seemed he would've stayed with her forever, no matter what. As if nothing could convince him to leave her. That's what Katara had always thought, and now that thought had been shattered.

Nothing more was said until Aang had packed his things and he was heading for Appa; Katara knew he was serious.

"Aang!" she cried, "Please don't leave!" She pulled on his robes as though it would bring him back. "Please, Aang!"

He turned his head only enough to look at her through the corner of his eye. She saw nothing there. Katara was always able to read his eyes so easily. She knew when he was sad, or angry, or happy, or tired. She could tell what he was thinking at some times or what he wanted to do. His eyes were always the soft, kind gray that had attracted her to him in the first place.

But now she saw nothing. Aang's eyes were cold and empty. The light gray hardened into a metallic, almost black. Like all the past joy and life had dissipated. Nothing. Absolutely nothing.

"Aang…I love you." Katara pleaded, still clutching his robes desperately.

He didn't say anything. He only gently removed her hand from his clothes and turned back towards Appa.

Katara didn't know how to feel. Angry because he was leaving. Terrified because he hadn't said 'I love you' back. Or incredibly guilty because he was still gentle with her, even after she had practically ripped his heart in two. Then again, he was almost returning the favor.

She watched helplessly as he lifted onto Appa and packed away his things. He stole one last glance at her before whipping the reigns and disappearing into the sky and leaving Katara by herself.

It took a few moments for it to sink in. Katara just stood there, rigid, still looking where Appa had vanished off in the distance. She didn't move, she didn't blink, she didn't breath.

Then it hit her. And it hit her like a herd of sky bison.

Aang had left her. He'd left her. He'd picked up and just…left. All he said was 'I'm leaving'. He didn't tell her he loved her. He didn't give any warning. He just left.

Katara's knees suddenly went weak before faltering and she collapsed onto the ground. Her head hung between her shoulders and she braced her hands on the ground. Sobs wracked her body, tears flowing down her face and dripping off her nose, creating a small patch of mud in the dirt. Her choked sobs echoed throughout the clearing, silencing all living things within earshot. This only made her feel even more alone.

Katara sat crouched there for hours until she finally worked up the willpower to stand up. She felt sick. Her head was throbbing with an awful headache and she couldn't stop shaking. Chills radiated through her body, causing her to clutch her arms in an attempt to keep warm somehow.

She slowly turned around and wobbled back to the house. As she made her way to the front of the house, all the scenes of what had just happened started to replay through her mind. How could she have said that? 'Do you still love me?' Her question repeated itself in her mind in the most sarcastic and bitterest of tones. Katara's face wrinkled in disgust just thinking of it. How stupid was she?

The door creaked slightly as she pushed it open. It shut, echoing through the entire house and once again reminding Katara of how lonely she was now. She plopped into the nearest chair and began to cry again.

She cried, and cried, and cried until she passed out from exhaustion.

So this was my first story on here and I do have a tumblr too. My URL is older-aang if you want to go check it out...

I'll try and upload my other fics I've written and posted there but this is all I have for now.

I still don't know what I'm doing so...I hope this was at least somewhat right...
