Woo; new Chapter! :]
Chapter Four: Broken
______________________________________________________________________________________________
Sokka felt awkward between the two people he fell for. The two people he loved. With Yue standing before him all his body wanted to do is reach out and hold her. His heart skipped a beat with her every smile. 'But Suki' he sensed Suki's tension she obviously hadn't forgotten that he 'dated' the moon spirit.
"Yue," Aang began to ask, "Would you like to go and see your parents now? Appa would be more than happy to fly you to the Northern Water tribe; were actually not far from it."
"That would be great." She walked over to Appa; trying to clear her mind. If she was being honest with herself the only reason she truly wanted to come back was to be with Sokka again. Even riding on the big fluffy bison would bring back memories that couldn't be shared again. He had a new girlfriend; well sure he did I wasn't supposed to be able to come back, he should have moved on; and I'm happy for him. Aang walked over to Appa and received a flying bison lick, bringing back the memory full force. She remembered every second, every detail of the day she became the moon spirit. She hadn't realized she was so caught up in the memory everyone was waiting for her; they were all ready for take off.
"Yue? Is everything Okay?" Sokka asked giving her his hand to help pull her up on.
"Yes; I'm just reliving some things." She answered a light blush started appearing on her cheeks. Sokka noticed and blushed a bit too; knowing what she must be 'reliving' again. She took his hand and an electric current felt as if it went through both of them. His whole arm felt alive and tingled with her touch. She knew these feeling might be too hard just to bury; knowing how much she felt in just one simple touch. 'How am I going to do this' she asked herself; as he pulled her onto the saddle. As soon as she was up she let go of his hand; she didn't want to do anything to hurt his relationship with Suki. She still loved everything about him. She always would…but she was going to have to move on too.
'This is not going to work' Sokka told himself as they lifted off the ground. There was no way he wasn't going to do anything rash. He wanted Yue too much; all of her with him. But he'd have to deny himself of anything involving what he wanted; for Suki's sake. He couldn't bear to hurt her. Aang and Katara were the ones to make conversation as they neared their destination. Sokka and Yue tried to keep good distance apart it was amazing how much tension was in the air. They both wanted to be with each other. Neither of them could deny the urge, but somehow they did.
"There it is!" Katara yelled enthusiastically. "You're home Princess." She added her eyes started to pool. It was silly to cry but this was such a happy moment. Yue would get her parents back. Princess Yue went and comforted Katara. They landed and everyone got off. Once they entered Yue couldn't hold back some tears. Then when her father and mother appeared the tears started streaming. She ran to them and landed into their tight embrace. She was so happy but she also needed this comfort as well with Sokka being lost to her. No words were spoken; her parents didn't need to know how or why she was there. All that mattered was that she was there and they could hold her, and tell her they loved her again. Sokka was smiling almost trying to hold back some tears. He wished he could tell her everything he felt at this moment. Everything he wanted to say was caught in his throat. Good thing too.
"Sokka" Suki whispered to him "Can we go and talk somewhere private; please?"
"Sure" he answered hesitantly. They went out of earshot of everyone else in the room.
"Sokka; I want to ask you something. Please don't lie to me, because I know the truth."
"I wouldn't lie to you."
"So you still have feelings for her. Don't you?" she held back the tears that wanted to start rolling down her cheeks. He knew she wanted him to be honest.
"yes." He answered almost inaudibly. He didn't want to meet her eyes to face the hurt he just put into them, but he looked anyway. The tears escaped and she turned away from his gaze so he couldn't see the weakness of her eyes. He put his fingers beneath her chin and pulled her head up so her gaze could meet his. He wiped away the few tears that were streaking her cheeks. "But I have feelings for you too." He pulled her into his chest and crushed her lips with his. The tears started to run she knew what she had to do; but for right now she would just let her lips take over. After a few moments they parted. He still held her to his chest. Trying to comfort her and make her find the truth in his words.
"Sokka." She whispered "I think we should wait; until you're sure of who or what you want" she closed her eyes to try and comfort the breaking pain in her chest.
"You mean…wait as in break up?" he asked completely overtooken with sadness and pain.
"Yes." She said breaking free of his grasp. "I'm sorry" she turned away and let her tears roll freely. Sokka didn't know what to feel, what to do, or what to think. He wanted to cry. He wanted to yell and scream and let it all out; but he couldn't. His heart felt as if it had been ripped out.

This is sad. And it's hard to write; 'cause I'm not sure who I want Sokka to end up with. There's so much heartbreak either way. But anyway; if you're reading…please review! Boring? Stupid? Slow? What do ya think? I don't know unless you tell me! ^-^
