Doesn't it hurt that you're only in love with celebrities or cartoons?
Anyways, this chapter I think is better than the last. It's not as choppy. So i hope you enjoy! The next chapter will be the last! =)
Disclaimer: I do not own Avatar The Last Airbender!
You know that feeling when you really like someone but are afraid to tell them because you don't want to make things weird between each other? I don't. There were plenty of times when Aang hinted and/or told Katara that he liked her, and things are still okay between them. So, if I told her, she wouldn't really have a problem with it.
Now, do you know the feeling when you like someone but are afraid to tell them because there's a huge war going on and you don't know who's going to die and who's not? I know I do.
Besides, even if the war does blow over, she's Aang's girl. I can't just…take her from him. What kind of friend would that make me? A pretty lousy one, if you ask me.
What knocked me out of my thoughts was the fake Jet. His eyes had gone all crazy, and he was swinging his swords around. Apparently he had been brainwashed in Lake Laogai by Long Feng and he was trying to kill Aang…
That would explain a lot.
The fake jet started screaming as a foam rock "crushed" him.
"Did Jet just…die?" I asked uncertainly.
"You know, it was really unclear." Sokka said.
I couldn't help but grin. I didn't have to worry about Jet and Katara anymore. But then I started feeling guilty. I shouldn't be happy someone's dead.
The next scene was when Katara and I were trapped in the crystal catacombs.
Great. Just great. People get to see how I brutally betrayed Katara. And even worse, I get to see myself betray Katara.
Even to this day I regret my decision of stabbing her in the back. After I watched her cry, after I told her about my mother, about my scar. Even after she offered to heal my scar; I even let her touch my scar, and I turned around and betrayed her. The memory rang in my mind.
"I thought you had changed!" Katara shouted.
"I have changed." I said defiantly.
Since I was expecting to see the fake Katara say "You're a terrible person, you know that?" I prepared myself for the real Katara shooting me a glare. But what I saw wasn't that. What I saw was something that made me freeze.
"I must admit, Prince Zuko, I really find you attractive."
"You don't have to make fun of me!"
"But I mean it. I had eyes for you since you first captured me."
I felt myself growing so hot it felt like I was on fire. I glanced at Katara and saw that she was blushing as well. But what really pleased me was the little smile on her lips.
We both gave each an awkward glance and scooted a couple inches away from each other. It wasn't that I wanted to, but it just seemed like the thing to do.
"Wait! I thought you were the Avatar's girl!"
The fake Katara laughed. "The Avatar! He's like a little brother to me!"
I smiled. I knew it, something inside my mind said in a sing-song voice.
"Besides, how could he ever find out about this?" And then the fake me and fake Katara took each other's hands and embraced.
I didn't even know a guy, especially me, could get so red in the face. Did people really think we'd make a good pair? I started to smile.
I guess that's a good sign.
Thanks for reading!
