Chapter 1
Mai POV
"Zuko! Look at me!"
"Mai do you seriously believe all that?! Do you even have feelings?! Or emotions?! How does one person hate so much?! I can't stand to listen to you complain all the time!"
"Zuko, please!"
"Get out!"
"Zuko I-"
"OUT!"
Fire flew from Zuko's fists. He had never firebended at me before. I ran from the room, so upset tears wouldn't even form in my eyes. I wanted to cry, I really did, I just couldn't. I can't believe he would say something like that to me. He knows I have feelings. He knows I care. I do have a heart, and he just broke it. I wasn't paying attention and I tripped. I couldn't bring myself to get up until I heard my name.
"Mai? What are you doing on the ground?"
It was Ty Lee. Her usual smile wasn't there. She always knew when something was wrong.
"What happened?"
She sat down next to me and I rested my head on her shoulder. That was when the tears came. After they started I couldn't stop them. Ty Lee smoothed my hair while trying to comfort me and get me to stop crying. It didn't work, nothing would. I just sat there and cried for what felt like hours. She didn't mind; she was such a good friend that way.
After what felt like forever, I finally stopped crying enough that I could muster words.
"Did you and Zuko have an argument?"
"Yeah. He doesn't think I can feel anything. I don't know how he could think that, he knows how much I love him and love is definitely a feeling!"
"I can't believe he said that! That's awful, Mai I am so sorry! So, are you two broken up now or…"
I just looked at her.
"I don't know."
End Chapter 1
I hope you guys like this story. I worked really hard on it! I love the Zuko and Mai relationship in A:TLA so I decided to add a bit onto it. I have not read any of the comics or graphic novels so this has no continuity with that. Enjoy!
