Ok I will say this ONE, MORE, FUCKING, TIME.

KORRA IS NOT THE SAME KORRA FROM UNEXPECTED ROMANCE. GET OVER IT.

GEEEEEZ.

Bolin stared at Mako and I. Bolin, sitting on the armrest of a chair, opposite the love seat we were in.

Don't you dare take the concept of the "love seat" the wrong way.

Mako reached and put his hand on my thigh, rubbing it slowly with his thumb. I swatted it away and glared at him. What the hell! His brother was right across from us! Mako grinned at me and rose his eyebrows.

Bolin growled. "Stop looking at her like that."

Mako's head snapped towards Bolin. "Like what?"

"Like you've seen her naked!" Bolin thundered. Mako tried (and failed) to hold back his smirk. Bolin stood and walked over to his brother.

He stopped in front of him and punched him. I gasped as Mako's head barely moved from its position but he still grunted. I wouldn't be surprised, Bolin's the strongest guy I know, minus Mako. They're probably evenly matched.

Mako stood, fury in his head. "What the hell, man?"

"You deserve it! She's mine!" Now, don't take that the wrong way. He means it as in I was his best friend first, not anything in a lovey-dovey way.

"Well we can share!" Mako countered.

I get up. "Ok! Shut the fuck up! This is getting pretty awkward for me!" I yell over their raising voices. Bolin looked at me apologetically.

"Korra's rig-" He was cut off.

"Ohh bossy, that's hot." Mako smirked.

Bolin turned and smacked him upside the head. I rolled my eyes. "Stuff like this needs to stop, too. Cause I love you." I said.

Mako grinned.

"Well I love you." I gestured to Bolin. "I kinda like you." I gestured to Mako and he pouted. "And if we're going to make this work-" I glared at Mako, referring to his blackmail, "-than you-" I pointed a Mako "-need to quit being all sexual towards me around Bolin. And You-" I pointed at Bolin "-need to get used to me coming around here for Mako."

Mako smiled. "Deal. But remember Bo, we're sharing her."

"If you hurt her, I swear to god…"

"I would never." Mako growled.

Bolin whispered something inaudible.

"I promise." Mako whispered back.

Bolin scowled. "Fine. We're going to have to make a calendar or something."

"Like a timeshare?"

"Yeah."

"I call her this week!" Mako yelled, his hand shooting up and running over to me, picking me up and twirling me around.

I squealed and giggled for the short moment until Bolin's glare caught my eye.

My eyes widen and Mako sets me down, his arm still around my waist. Bolin's eyes focused on his arm and they narrowed.

"Listen bro, love you, but love her more, so we're going to go now."

I looked at Bolin with a so- woah woah woah. Love? He loved me? ….woah.

Bolin must've noticed too, his expression mixed with anger and confusion.

"See ya, Boloser." Mako grinned at his apparently 'clever' name for Bolin and dragged me out of the door.

I had only a glimpse of the street before Mako had me pressed against the pillar. He kissed me. Hard. My surprised eyes closed and after a minute I forced them open, getting ready to stop the kiss. I opened my eyes, to see that his eyes were completely open. And when I followed them, I saw what he was looking at.

Or might I say, who he was looking at.

His ex-girlfriend.

Oh.

Looks like I won't have to worry about coping with Bolin and Mako fighting for long. Cause' I was going to be replaced soon.

Ouch.

This is why I can't even begin to like Mako, because whenever I decide that maybe he's a nice guy, he breaks my heart.

Believe me, it's happened before.

I pull away and look at the ground. I sigh and push him away from me. He tears his eyes off the girl and lifts my chin, as if he was going to kiss me again.

He wanted to use me to get her jealous? …great…

I close my eyes and sigh again, feeling my heart break a little on the inside, and gently push him away. "Korra. We have a deal." He mumbles into my neck, where he was currently kissing.

"Yeah, we do." I sneered, trying to pull my neck away from him.

"So, let me kiss you." He smirked.

I bit my lip to keep my tears from falling. …Don't call me a baby. I'm sensitive.

But, did he really not think that I hadn't seen his eyes? Completely open? Looking at her? I pushed away from him. "No thanks." I brushed past him and walked down the steps quickly.

I took one last look at Mako and he sent me a confused look.

Brittney walked by me with a smirk on her face.

I closed my eyes and kept walking. Once I got to the end of the driveway I looked around. Brittney was pressing herself against Mako and had her hands on his chest. His arms were around her waist.

He was smiling. Like, actually smiling.

I had never made him smile like that.

Tears were swimming in my eyes. Yeah, yeah, I know what you're thinking "drama queen!" Maybe I am. Get over it. He looked up and his eyes widened.

He released her waist and she sneered at me.

He looked at me pleadingly as Brittney pulled his hands back to around her waist. His eyes flickered nervously from Brittney to me.

Oh, he was afraid that I would see them kiss?

Whatever.

I started backing away from the whores. He started towards me but I just shook my head. I turned and walked away from him. From them. Let them kiss, what do I care?

I do care, a lot.

You know what? Fuck my other voice.

…I'm sorry. I didn't mean to curse.

I'm talking to myself. Holy crap I'm talking to myself.

I think I heard the foot-steps behind me, I guess I just didn't want to hear them.

His gruff hand grabbed my arm and spun me around.

"Get. The fuck. Off. Me." I growled.

He faltered for a moment, astonished that I swore, but soon he re-gained his ground. "No."

"well, why not?!"

"Cause' you think I'm a cheater!"

I closed my eyes and sighed, "No. I don't. leave me alone."

"You're lying!"

"Ok, fine, maybe I am! It does bother me that you're using me to make some slut jealous!"

Mako stared at me wide-eyed. "Korra! I would never do that to you!"

"As if! You're Mako 'the master of seduction'!" I punched his chest. "You're a player!" I punched his chest again. "A man-whore!" Again. "You're just like Iroh!" Again. "Just get the fuck away from me!" By now, he was holding both of my fists. "You're just.." for some reason I was having trouble breathing. "Another…" Jesus, my chest hurts. "Iroh-oh-oh" Why the hell am i….OH.

I'm crying.

For the first time, finally. I finally realized what Iroh had done to me. I finally cried for what my stupid, idiotic, boyfri- ex boyfriend did to me.

Mako, his face pained, moved his hands from my wrists and pulled me into his warm chest. I wrapped my arms around his waist, and for the first time in about a year, I didn't want to be hugging Iroh.

I wanted to hug Mako.

And so I do.

And I'm crying. Thank god I could cry silently. This was so embarrassing.

I was crying for Iroh. I was crying for my dad. Cause' even though I tell myself he loves me, there's obviously something wrong with me. Something that he saw and made him run for the hills. I'd sent both of them running in the opposite direction.

Mako sat on the curb, still cradling me.

I'm beyond embarrassed.

And unhappy with myself. And him.

He was making me like him. And he knew he was succeeding.

I mean think about it.

First, I lost my virginity to him, and he still hasn't told me if he lost his to me. Secondly, He did one of those absolutely adorable 'kissing the top of your head' things. Of course, it was a pillow, but it was intended for me. Thirdly, the way he's blackmailing me, I mean that's ultimate desire, right? Fourthly, he's literally fighting for me, defending me from jerks, subtly showing that he's actually super sweet. Fifthly, he had a fight with his brother (and they haven't fought since junior high!) over me! Sixthly (is that even a word?), he chose me over Brittney. Brittney! Mrs. Perfect Blonde. Seriously. She's perfect.

So, yes, he's practically forcing me to love him.

I mean like. Not love. Like. Liiiiiike.

Like.

Shit. What time was it? I snapped off of Mako's chest. His head snapped down to me. "Korra Wha-"

"I have to go!" I gasped. I felt like I had forgotten to breathe for hours. And the next thing I know every time I breathe in it feels like that. Gasping, I try to scramble away from Mako, but he clutches me to his chest.

"Korra." He whispers my name and I look into his eyes, but continue to cry and struggle in his sturdy arms. "Korra, stop." He whispers again, I continue shaking my head and pushing against him. Wheezing, trying to make the lump in my throat leave. "Baby, please, stop." His voice is pained, and I listen.

My breaths slow as I stare into his eyes, and my struggles stopped. He sighed, relieved, and pulled me into a more direct hug. Compared to him, I was tiny. His huge, strong arms wound around my small waist and my face buried in his chest. Standing up straight, the top of my head hits right below his chin, so his head fell lazily on top of mine.

"Wha…?" Is all I could choke out.

"You had a panic attack… I think. Bolin used to have them all the time." He explained, murmuring into my hair.

"Oh." I answered simply.

I pulled away from him and wiped my eyes. "Listen, I didn't ean to completely break down on you I usually never d-" He cut me off.

"Shut it. I'm your boyfriend, and I really really like you, whether you believe me or not. And I will always be here for you." He kissed the top of my head. "No matter what."

I sighed. "You need to stop that."

He stepped away. "Stop what?"

"Being adorable." I sighed.

He chuckled and wrapped his arm around my waist. "C'mon I'll drive you home."

I smiled and got into his car.

It took me a second to realize that I had just cried, felt jealousy, fought with my best friend, have a panic attack, and after all of it, smile, just for Mako.

Great. Like it or not, I liked Mako. A lot.

And before you say it, Brittney is NOT Jennifer. I swear to god if ONE of you even suggests that I will smack yo ass into last night. CHA BIATCH.

I SWEAR TO GOD. If I don't get enough reviews… I'm going to have to shut down.

Yeah, I threatened it.

Boom.

IF I get enough reviews though, Korra's going shopping! Whooooooooo! Mall fun time!

R&R!
