Confrontations

"You don't understand anything, Mako." Asami had her back to him. After all, he had turned his back on her. . . .

"Asami, I do understand. I'm just sorry that things di-"

"Sorry things didn't work out between us? Mako, do you think I'm an idiot?" Why is he still even here? He should be running off to see-

"Of course not, I-"

"I threw away my life trying to make you happy. I wasted the past few months trying to be the girlfriend I thought you deserved. But now I can clearly see that whatever I do just isn't going to be good enough for you . . . and you don't deserve me."

Silence. Serves him right. Why should I even have to bother with him? I've got enough I my plate to handle. I lost my father because he went sociopath, not to metion my mother. . . . Fighting back tears, Asami gave Mako a threatening look, and her voice come out stern.

"So, save your meaningless apologies, Mako. What you say means nothing to me."

"I'm just trying to-"

"Stop." Asami turned to look him in his golden eyes. I'm not going to hold back this time. "I will not listen to you telling me that everything I did for you wasn't good enough. I cared for you, Mako. I got you the money you needed to accomplish your dreams. And when that didn't work, you were left with no home. So I gave that to you too. I took you and your brother in because I wasn't going to watch you struggle when I could help. I told you everything that belonged to me, belonged to you too. I don't even want to know how much money I spent getting you proper clothes and food and luxury items that now is worthless to you. So if you don't want anything to do with me, just say it. I want to hear the words come out of your mouth."

Asami could see the shocked expression on Mako's face. "Asami, I want you to know how much I love you. You're still the world to me."

"That's a lie."

"What?"

Asami stepped closer to him and arched her eyebrows. She crossed her arms, her body language made it very clear she wasn't going to sugar coat it. "I said that's a lie. You love Korra. So why don't you go tell her that instead of being here with your unimportant ex-girlfriend. After all, she's a bender. She's the Avatar for spirit's sake. That's who you want to be with. I'm just not that famous for you. And you want it all. You're making me waste my time listening to your empty words. I don't mean anything to you anymore, Mako. And you know it. Just leave . . . and don't come back."

"I wasn't finished ye-"

"Yes, Mako. You are finished."

He turned away, and slowly began walking, leaving everything he ever had behind him. I don't regret a single thing I said.

I feel the creators could have handled their break-up so much better than what they did. I'm not saying that this is what should have happened, it's just an idea that struck me. Reviews are encouraged. However, flames are not.
