Glad to see that everyone liked the story. Anyway I just wanted to see if anyone knew what Aang's number spelled on a real phone? Did anyone realize that it spelled KATAANG? Well if u did, then u win a million bucks…not really. Anyway on with the chapter!

Aang followed close behind me as we headed back to my apartment. When we got there Sokka was waiting for me outside. "Katara, where have you been?" he interrogated.

"I told you I was in the park!" I replied.

"We agreed that you would be home by ten and it's almost eleven!" Sokka started. "You're hurt and you shouldn't be out by yourself at night."

"Well for your information, I wasn't at the park at night alone." I said mimicking him.

I moved aside and revealed Aang who was standing behind me. Sokka stared at Aang angrily and spoke. "WHO IS THAT???"

"Hi, I'm Aang." Aang replied.

Before Sokka even got to interrogate Aang like I knew he would I spoke. "Sokka, he's the one who helped me when I got hurt and he was with me when I went to the hospital. And he beat up Zuko three times in my defense."

Sokka thought for a moment and then overlooked Aang. "Oh…" was all he could say.

"It was nothing really." Aang said.

The wind blew and a cold breeze overtook us. I shivered from the cold air hitting my skin. "Why don't we go inside." I suggested. Sokka and Aang nodded and we went into the apartment.

"Aang would you excuse us for a second?" I asked. Aang nodded and I pulled Sokka into the kitchen.

"What do you want?" Sokka asked.

"Sokka, Aang has no home, no family, no nothing." I told him

"And how do you know that?" he asked me.

"He told me." I replied.

"Well what do want me to do about that?" Sokka asked.

"You know what I mean! We have an extra room! He needs us and we can help him!" I yelled trying not to let Aang hear me.

"Well I don't know…" Sokka said.

I went back into the living room where Aang was sitting on the couch and I sat down next to him. "Aang do you want to stay with us?" I asked him.

"I don't know. I mean- I feel bad about this and-." Aang started. I interrupted him though.

"Aang I told you, we have an extra room and it wouldn't be any trouble at all. We go to the same school and-." I started until Aang interrupted.

"But what about you're brother? Wouldn't he be upset?" Aang asked me.

"No, I wouldn't be," Sokka said coming into the room. "Aang, you helped and protected my baby sister. The least I could do is let you stay with us."

I looked back at Aang. "So will you stay?" I asked him with pleading eyes.

"…Okay." He smiled.

"Yay!" I said excitedly as I pulled him into a big hug.

The next day Sokka drove us to school and we headed toward our classes. The school day was boring but again went by fast. And I found again that I couldn't stop thinking of Aang. I was walking to my locker when I heard people chanting 'fight, fight, fight' over and over again.

"Oh no, who's fighting?" I thought. I walked as quickly as I could to the scene and pushed my way through the crowd of kids. I saw three individuals fighting: Aang, Zuko, and Jet.

Jet and Zuko were teamed up against Aang. They were punching and kicking him. Aang did his best to avoid and block them but he wasn't having much luck. I didn't even know why Jet was there. I knew he was mean like Zuko but I bet the only reason he was there was because of me. He was taking his issues with me out on Aang. Poor, innocent Aang.

I watched in horror as they hurt him and couldn't take it anymore. I dropped my crutches and ran to them as fast as I could. I felt a searing pain in my ankle but that didn't stop me. When I got to them Aang was on the floor with Zuko and Jet about to strike. I jumped in the middle of them though.

"Katara! Get out of here I'm handling this!" Aang said concerned.

I ignored him though and pushed Jet away from us. By now Aang had gotten up and was ready to fight. I went to push Zuko away so that we could leave but he was too strong and he punched me in the face. He hit my right eye and I stumbled back a little bit because of this. Aang got furious then and attacked Zuko. He kicked him in the face, punched him in the gut and then when he was about to do more the crowd of kids scattered. And that meant a teacher was coming. And it was about time.

All of the sudden I got a huge migraine right around where Zuko hit me. Then I got dizzy and I fell, but I didn't the ground. Aang had caught me, but he was the last thing I saw before I passed out.

The next thing I knew, I was in the nurse's office…again. When I first opened my eyes, I noticed that my right eye hurt really bad and I had a headache. I sat up and looked around. Then I saw that I wasn't alone. Aang was sitting down on the bed where I laid.

"You're awake!" Aang shouted excitedly as he pulled me into a tight, but warm embrace.

"Yes, but not for long if you keep squeezing me like that." I said gasping for breath.

Aang quickly let go. "Oh sorry."

"It's okay." I replied.

"No it's not Katara. You shouldn't have gotten in the middle of that!" Aang said.

"Why not? I'm perfectly fine. What's wrong with that?" I retorted.

"First of all, you walked on your ankle that you shouldn't have walked on. Second of all, you continued even though I told you to stop. And Third of all after you continued, you got hurt and passed out." Aang shouted.

"I don't see your point." I commented.

"My point is that you got hurt! And you were already hurt! That's not good!" Aang stated.

"Well you were getting hurt, and that's not good!" I replied sharply.

All the shouting was making my head hurt. I put my hand to my head and closed my eyes as a reaction of the pain.

"What's wrong?" Aang asked concerned.

"Nothing, my head just hurts." I stated.

"Well I'm sure it does after he hit you." Aang replied.

"Yeah, what exactly happened?" I asked Aang.

"Well you passed out. I saw you start to fall and I caught you. Then I picked you up right as Mr. Iroh came over. Then Mr. Iroh asked what happened and I told him. He told me to bring you here and then he took Zuko and Jet to the principal's office. So I waited here with you and eventually Sokka and Toph found out and they came. But they left after a while." Aang said.

"How long has it been?" I asked Aang.

"Oh not too long…just about five hours." Aang said calmly.

"FIVE HOURS!?!?!" I yelled.

"Well yeah, he hit you in the eye." Aang said. "But it doesn't look that bad."

I looked in the mirror that lied on the desk next to me, and I saw that my eye wasn't swollen but it was red and black in some places. Then I realized that the school was silent. I looked at the clock. It said it was 7:13. Then I remembered how Aang said that he waited and the others left.

"Aang, have you been here this whole time by yourself?" I asked.

Aang smiled and nodded. "Thank you so much Aang. You don't how much it means to me." I said then I leaned next to him and kissed him on the cheek.

He blushed and then I spoke again. "I guess we better get home." I said.

"Home…" Aang muttered quietly to himself. He smiled gratefully and then spoke. "Ok. And here are you're crutches that you left back at the scene of the crime." He joked.

"Why thank you brave knight." I said as I pretended to bow. I smiled and he returned the smile and we headed home…together.

GASP! I keep hurting Katara, but I'm not entirely sure why. I'm so evil aren't I? Don't answer that. Anyways R&R plz.
