(EDITED)
About 2 weeks had passed by, and Kiara was starting to doubt about her relationship with Bolin. Kiara was sitting in the Temple's Library with Jinora, reading books about Korra's past life as Avatar Aang. Jinora and Kiara shared a love of books so they became quick friends. Jinora looked up from her book and eyed Kiara curiously.
"How's your relationship with Bolin going?" She asked, catching Kiara off guard.
"What?"
"You know that earthbender you're dating? That guy who that lives with us?"
"I know who Bolin is!" Kiara snapped.
Jinora just stared at her for a few moments. "Wow, you and Korra really are sisters."
Kiara sighed. "Sorry. About Bolin and me, we're perfectly happy together!" She exclaimed even though she knew she was lying to herself.
Jinora narrowed her eyes at Kiara. "Don't lie to me, Kiara!"
"Ok, maybe something is going on. Lately, I've been feeling he's paying more attention to Korra." Kiara confessed. "I don't even know how our relationship became like this.
Jinora nodded her head thoughtfully. She got up from her chair and walked around the library. Kiara watched her friend curiously. Jinora came back to her spot after a few moments with a book in hand. The airbender handed the book to Kiara.
"What's this?" Kiara asked.
"Read the title." Jinora replied simply.
"'How to Read your Boyfriend' " Kiara read slowly. "Why the hell did you give me this?" Kiara yelled throwing it aside onto the ground.
Jinora went over to the book and picked it up and dust it off. "It'll help you understand Bolin better."
"I already understand Bolin; we've been dating for 2 months now!"
Jinora shook her head. "No, I mean this book can tell you if he's lying or something. It also helps how to deal with relationships and what the stages are to a relationship."
Kiara was silent for a few moments. "Don't tell me, you read this book before? Why? Your only ten years old!"
Jinora looked irritated. "It doesn't matter if I've read this before or not! What matters is your relationship with Bolin!"
Kiara laughed and ruffled Jinora's hair playfully. "Thanks, Jin. But I'm perfectly capable of dealing with my relationship."
"Just please read some of it!" Jinora begged, holding out the book in front of her.
Kiara sighed. "Fine, I'll read it." She took the book from Jinora's hands and walked out of the library with a satisfied Jinora.
It was late at night when Kiara was laying on her bed with the book in hand. She flipped through the pages with little interest.
"This is useless…" She muttered. After another 5 minutes of going through pages, Kiara gave up. She closed the book and tossed it onto the ground. Suddenly, the window flew open with a huge gust of wind. It opened the book cover and made the pages turn wildly. Kiara quickly got up from her bed and slammed the window shut. Kiara turned around and walked over to the book. Then, she froze as she finally could read what it said. Lightning crackled outside, lighting up the room for just a split second.
"Oh, no…"
The next day, there was a knock on Kiara's door.
"Kiara?" Bolin whispered as he opened the door.
Kiara was still sleeping in her bed with an open book covering her face. Bolin walked up quietly toward her and glanced at the book.
"'How to Read your Boyfriend…" Bolin read slowly. He was curious about why Kiara had this book so he picked it up carefully. Kiara instantly woke up and grabbed the book back.
"What are you doing?" The waterbender asked.
Bolin blinked in surprise. "I was just looking at the book you have. Why are you reading this?"
Kiara shook her head. "No reason."
Bolin stared at her for a few moments before shrugging. "Korra's going to practice airbending at around noon time, do you want to come and watch?"
"Are you?"
"Well, yeah! It's fun watching Korra practice!" Bolin exclaimed.
"Of course it is…" Kiara muttered under her breath.
"What?"
Kiara shook her head. "Nothing, I'll come and watch too."
It was around noon time when Mako, Bolin, Korra, and Kiara were at the Airbending Training Area. Even though she learned how to airbend, Korra still needed practice. Kiara sat on the ground as she watched her sister moving around (In Meelo's definition, being the leaf) the Airbending gates with ease.
"Wow… she's amazing," Bolin whispered as Kiara nodded her head proudly. Kiara was happy she chose to watch Korra practice. Kiara had never seen her sister airbend so this was very fascinating to her.
It was around 3:30 pm when Kiara and Bolin decided to hang out in Bolin's room. Bolin lay on his bed while Kiara sat on the couch. The waterbender was near ready to explode. Bolin had been talking about her sister non-stop ever since they watched Korra practice airbending.
"Did I ever say that your sister is amazing?" Bolin asked staring out the window at the clouds.
"Yes, you did." Kiara answered with snarl. "For the fifth time today, in fact." But Bolin didn't notice the snarl in her voice. Kiara remembered what the book said: 'If the boyfriend is paying a lot of attention to another girl, he could have feelings for them too.'
"You know, Mako is really lucky to have Korra as a girlfriend." Bolin sighed, totally forgetting he was talking to Kiara. "Sometimes, I wish that Korra liked me instead and we would be in a relationship."
Something snapped in Kiara's heart.
"Mako and Korra's relationship is so perfect. I wonder about our relationship someti—"
Kiara got up from the couch and grabbed Bolin by the collar of his shirt and tugged him forward before he could finish his sentence.
"If I ever here you say something like that again, you won't have to worry about our relationship because I'm going to end it." She hissed in his face. Kiara let go of his shirt and let Bolin fall back onto his bed. She walked out of her boyfriend's room and slammed the door shut.
That evening, Korra, Mako, Kiara, Bolin, and Iroh all decided to eat out for dinner. Bolin voted for Narook's Seaweed Noodlery and everyone agreed.
When they arrived, Bolin motioned Kiara to sit next to him. Kiara glared at the earthbender, obviously still mad about what happened early. At first, he thought she was going to refuse, but Kiara sat down next to him.
Everyone was laughing and enjoying their dinner, Kiara was having fun too, now. Although that changed quickly.
"Hey Kiara."
The waterbender turned her head to Iroh, who was sitting across from her. "Yeah?"
"I was just wondering, did it ever occur to you that, if Mako and Korra got married, then you and Bolin would be brother and sister-in-laws?"
The smile Kiara had on her face quickly vanished. "Why are you telling this to me now?"
Iroh ignored her question. "Well, you could still get married to each other since you guys aren't blood related, it'll just be a little awkward."
Kiara pushed her chair back and stood up. "Well, you won't have to worry about that because Bolin and I probably aren't going to stay together very long." She hissed so softly Iroh could barely hear her. Kiara then stormed out of the restaurant, everyone was confused as they watched her. Korra then got up from her seat
"Kiara, wait!" She yelled.
Kiara ran all the way to Republic City Park. She was on one of the small stone arch bridges that allowed you to walk over the pond to the other side with ease. Kiara was staring at her reflection in the pond. Korra walked around the park and saw her sister on the bridge. She ran over to Kiara.
After a few moments of silence, Kiara spoke up. "This is where we went to on our first date…"
Korra looked confused. "What?"
"Bolin and me. This is where we went to on our first date when we were 13."
"Oh."
They stared at the pond for a few minutes.
"Are you mad about what Iroh said?" Korra finally asked.
"Kind of." Kiara replied.
"You know he's only joking, right?" Korra asked.
"What is there to joke about? Iroh's right! If you and Mako get married, which you probably will, Bolin and I will become brother and sister-in-laws! I can't believe I completely missed that!"
Korra stared at her sister. "But it's not just that, right? There's also something else that's bothering you?"
"Am I really that readable?"
Korra laughed. "No, since we're sisters I can tell if you're bothered by something or not!"
"You're right," Kiara replied letting out a heavy sigh. "It's also about my relationship with Bolin."
"Do you want to talk about it?"
Kiara looked up and stared at her sister's concerned cerulean eyes. She remembered Bolin fantasizing about Korra. "No, not really."
"That's fine with me. But Kiara, if you ever need someone to talk to, I'm always here for you. You're my sister after all!"
Kiara smiled. "You're the best sister ever, you know?"
"I know," Korra replied smiling. They laughed and decided to go back to the restaurant.
The next day, Mako, Korra, and Kiara were at the pro-bending gym.
"I wonder were Bolin is…" Kiara muttered. Yesterday, Bolin had told them he wouldn't be back until the next day. Kiara turned around when she heard footsteps.
"Bolin?" Mako asked as his brother strolled into the gym.
"Are you drunk?" Kiara asked when a strong scent of cactus juice hit her nose.
"Shut up." He replied.
"It would seem so," Korra concluded.
"Come with me," Bolin replied to Kiara. He began to walk up the latter that led to the attic. Kiara was curious as she followed him up.
When he got up, Bolin slumped down onto a couch.
"Are you ok?" Kiara asked looking uncertain at the earthbender. "How many drinks did you have?"
"Three."
"Oh. Why did you drink?"
"I drank because I've been thinking, every since Iroh told us that we would be in-laws if Korra and Mako got married, I've been wondering about my feelings for you."
Kiara felt her heart skip a beat. "And?"
"Well, in the beginning I guess I really did love you, but seeing Mako and Korra so happy together… it made me realize that I still have feelings for her.
"What?" Kiara stared at the earthbender in shock. "KORRA?"
Kiara was lost. "No, it's the cactus juice that's talking! He doesn't know what he's saying!" But no matter how many times Kiara told herself that, she was still not convinced.
"To be honest, about a week after that picnic date, I only dated you so Korra would be jealous. But since that never happened, I might as well tell you about it." The drunken Bolin replied.
"So you used me?" Kiara asked looking like someone who got their heart ripped out from their chest.
Bolin didn't look like he regretted any of his actions. "Yep, but for about 3 weeks. Sorry."
Kiara laughed dully. "No, don't be. Now I get to see the real you." There was silence for a few moments. "You know, I'm happy Iroh told me about the marriage and how we were going to be in-laws, because I wouldn't have wanted to be with you for the rest of my life!" The waterbender snarled.
"Good, I feel that same way too." Was all Bolin said. He turned his back to her and stared out the window toward Air Temple Island.
"Goodbye, Bolin." Kiara murmured and turned around just in time to leave because she didn't want her former boyfriend to see how hurt she was and the tears that slid down her cheek.
So I changed the ending because I forgot before to add the fact that Bolin really did love Kiara for a majority of the time. Also, sorry about the way I portrayed Bolin, I just wanted to make him still have feelings for Korra and breaking Kiara's heart when she found out. Anyway, please Read and Review and tell me your feelings about the chapter! ;)
