Chapter 7

It's been a week now since Lin has returned. Nyla and Ela had welcomed her back with tears of joy and didn't ask questions about why Lin had left in the first place. Tenzin had headed over to the station everyday to request to see her and everytime the receptionist would tell him that she was busy. Tenzin would then wate in front of the staion for her and Taio so they had to sneak out through the back door.

Lin had no idea why she couldn't just confront the man and tell him that she didn't want to see him anymore. She sighed as she walked out the back door of the station with Taio's arm wrapped around her waist. She was staring at the ground blankly when she felt Taio tighten his grip on her waist. "Taio what's wrong?" She felt his tense stare focused on something and followed his gaze. A tall figure with distint yellow and orange robes was heading towards them hurriedly. Lin's face expressed shock for a split second before she turned and pulled Taio behind her. We need to get away. I just can't deal with Tenzin right now. Her thoughts were interuppted as she felt a hand wrap around her wrist. It was there for a second but she felt Taio's anger flare up as sh slapped Tenzin's hand away and halted abruptly. Lin tried to leave the scene but Taio's hand was wrapped around hers tightly. "Taio, we should jusr leave." she whispered to him. "No, I'm having a talk with him right now. You can't keep hiding from him everyday! You shouldn't feel guilt it's his fault." Taio exclaimed angrily. He then let go of Lin's hand, "Lin, go home first." his voice was calm but Lin knew things weren't going to end well. "Taio... don't do anything rash." with that she rushed away from the scene unable to look at Tenzin's face that was filled with guilt.

Taio shot a glare at the taller man. "Tenzin, what do you want?" he was keeping his voice calm. "I just wanted to apoligize to Lin." Tenzin replied nervously. "About what?" Taio asked as his eyes narrowed at the man. Taio knew the reason of course but he still wanted to see if Tenzin could admit to it.

Lin quickly hid so that she wasn't in their range of sight, but still able to hear them. It wouldn't be smart to leave them alone. I really hope those two don't start fighting.

Tenzin was quite for a while as he tried to avoid the glare that Taio was shooting him. "At the party... I think I might have upset her." Tenzin's response was quiet but Taio still heard them. Might?! You think forcing a kiss on her MIGHT upset her?! Taio was furious with his response but kept cool. "What happened?" he questioned. "Well, uh... after you left - we uh... so... the- I mean I didn- I'm sorry..."Taio crossed his arm growing impatient. He rolled his eyes at the slow response. Taio just wanted Tenzin to confess so that he could knock the other guy out.

Lin saw Tenzin stammering something but he was to quiet. She couldn't see Taio's face from the angle but could sense hisfeelings.

"What exactly happened Tenzin." his question came out as a stern comand. "I uh mighthavekisssedLinandIknowsheisyourwifeandI'msorryIthinkIstillmighthavefeelingsforherandgotcaughtinthemoment. I really, really, shouldn't have said that but I'm sorry." Tenzin's words were pushed together as he spoke hurriedly. Taio's skills as the detective required him to get information and Tenzin was easy prey. Tenzin was staring nervously at the ground as he heard something move he looked up to late as Taionailed him in the face. Tenzin fell back and landed on the started to walk away. He stopped a few feet away from Tenzin, who was staring at him with disbeleif as he held his jaw. Guess his beard senses didn't tell him what was coming. Taio thought. "Stay away from Lin. Do you know how hard it has been for her? Do you know how hard it was for her to learn to trust someone after you betrayed her for another woman?! You don't do you? You kept forcing the topic of marriage on her when she wasn't ready. I'm happy that you didn't understand her well though since I got to marry someone as amazing as her. I don't forgive you for the way you betrayed her though. She had barely gotten her bending back when she returned home. She just wanted to back to a peaceful life again. But no, you had to return to her life, saying that you wanted to be friends again! Like the old days, I was fine with that... I know how you are important to her. Just when she started trusting you again and everything was fine you ruined it... you had to kiss her! You had to confess that you still loved her! That turned her world upside down..." Taio's angry shouts stabbed at Tenzin. "It's too late though... Tenzin. It's too late. I know Lin still loves you but it's not the same now." No it's not to late! I still love her and I know she does! Tenzin wanted to shout back but the words sounded foolish and conceited to himself. " You have a wife now Tenzin. You chose Penma. You left Lin alone. I won't let Lin go like you did. I won't abanden her." Taio's anger had cooled down and all that he felt was pain and sadness. For Lin who had been abandened by Tenzin in her time of need. " I didn't want to leave her!" Tenzin finally got off the ground and decided to speak. "I loved her with all my heart and she was the one that didn't want to get married!" Tenzin exclaimed as he defended himself. "Marriage isn't everything! I would be happy as long as I was with her! Don't you know she wouldv'e said yes?!" Taio had tears forming in his eyes as he yelled at the man that Lin had loved who was so oblivious. "Then why didn't she?! After all the years we've been together I had asked her over and over! She never said yes! She always kept quite and rejected it!" Tenzin shouted he felt angry but didn't know the source of his temper flaring. He then realized that it was because he had betrayed Lin and now had lost her to someone else. "Don't you know what she was going through?!" Taio shouted back. "She was going to be chief of police! Everything was going as she liked? There was nothing wrong!" " Did you forget or are you pretending not to remember?" Taio's voice was starting to decrease in volume as he questioned Tenzin. "Remember what?" Tenzin's voice lost its anger at the question. "Did you really no know that Lin had a miscar-" "Taio!" Lin interrupted them and pulled Taio away. "We're leaving. Good bye Tenzin." Lin said coldly as she walked away with Taio. "What happened to Lin?" Tenzin asked Taio. Taio turned to glance at Tenzin with a painful expression and walked away. The two people left him there with questions left unanswered. He could've followed them but somehow he either couldn't find the strength to follow afraid of the truth that he didn't know. What have I done?
