I DID I WAS DISAPPOINTED THOUGH! :( So when you review please let me know if you saw it and what you thought of it ^-^ read, read, read!

Chapter 10: meet the parent.

Azula and Jet, holding hands, walking across the food court. It was the most insane thing ever!

"Why are Azula and Jet here? How is Jet even here? We saw him get arrested last night!" I exclaimed. I was very annoyed now.

"Ugh. Azula must have bailed him out. She has an evil plan I can tell. She's always trying to ruin everything!" Zuko was annoyed too. He rubbed his temples and I buried my face in my hands and shook my head.

"This can't be happening." I ran my fingers through my hair pulling it back. I looked behind us again and saw them sitting at a one table, two chair thing like Zuko and I were. Then Azula caught me looking at them. She evilly smirked then grabbed Jet and began kissing him. My mouth dropped, "I don't believe this they're kissing!" I exclaimed. I turned to Zuko and saw him dialing a number on his phone.

"Who are you calling?" I asked. He gestured towards Azula.

I looked over and saw Azula pull out her phone. She answered a call. A second later Zuko said, "What are you doing?…Oh so you're dating Jet now…How are you with him now? We saw him get arrested last night!…But how could you know he was in jail to bail him out?…" I was fuming now. Azula MUST be planning something bad if she seriously bailed Jet out of jail.

"Why are you always going so far to ruin everything good thing I have?" Zuko then stared at his phone in disbelief.

"What? What's wrong now?" I asked.

"She hung up on me!" Zuko exclaimed.

"What a bitch…" She was on my last nerve now. Zuko stood up.

"Where are you going?" I asked.

"Let's just go back to your place," He began to walk away. I quickly got up to catch up with him. Once we were walking at the same pace, I looked back at Azula and Jet.

Once again, she caught my glace and she yanked Jet forward and began kissing him again. I quickly turned my head away. I was so mad.

Don't get me wrong, I'm way better off without Jet but I still loved him and it was hard for me to see him with another girl… wait a second. I'm pretty much with Zuko…right? So why should I be jealous? Ugh, everything was just confusing the crap out of me.

As I tried to sort everything out, I noticed that we were already in JC Penny almost to the door we came in. I reached in my pocket to get out the keys (because I was obviously in too much of a daze to drive) to give them to Zuko but I stopped myself. I had no idea of what kind of driver Zuko was when he was mad and I sure as hell didn't want to find out. Not today, not ever. So I dropped the keys in my pocket and walked in silence to the truck.

After we had got home I began making dinner for dad. I peeled come potatoes and got some frozen chicken in the freezer and thawed it out and put it in the oven. Once everything was cooking I sat at the bar in the kitchen with Zuko.

"So…" I said, trying to break the awkward silence between us.

"So…What?" He asked.

"So…I don't- Oh! Can I ask you question?"

"Yeah, what is it?"

"Well um…are we like…" I trailed off. I was afraid to ask, I wasn't sure why but I was.

"Are we like what?" He asked, confused.

"Are we like…together?"

"What do you mean by 'together'" He had a skeptical look.

"Well together as in…boy friend and girl friend…?" I said 'boy friend and girl friend' quietly and blushed because I was embarrassed by asking.

"Oh…um…well…I don't know… Yes…?" He blushed, I giggled.

"What?" He asked.

"Nothing it's just cute because you're all shy and unsure," I got up and moved over next to him and looked into his golden eyes. I took his hand and said, "Listen Zuko, I only asked because I don't know, we both obviously like each other,"

"But I thought we weren't because you still love Jet," He said, slightly confused.

"Well you're right, I do still love Jet but my heart is telling me that I should be with, no that I need to be with you…" I stared at the floor and glanced at Zuko. He had a deep, red blush on his face and he was surprised by my words. I just looked at floor and blushed.

Suddenly, he held my face in his big, warm hands. He held my head up towards him and stared into my eyes. Slowly and gently, he pulled me forward and closed his eyes as I did. Our lips just barley touched until we heard the door swing open with Sokka yelling, "I'm Ho-ome!" Zuko I quickly turned away and I got off the stool and walked over to Sokka, "Hey Sokka, How was Suki's?" I asked casually.

"Awesome!" He exclaimed, "Is Dad gonna be here soon?" Sokka asked. I looked at the clock. It was 3:45, "Yeah, he should be here in about 15 minutes."

"Alright then," Sokka said, picking up his book bag. He then inhaled deeply, "Mm, what's cooking little sister?"

"Chicken and potatoes,"

"Yum! I'm gonna go put my stuff away and all that jazz," I smiled.

"Ok I'll let you know when dinners ready,"

"K," Sokka was already half way up the stairs. I walked back to kitchen and checked the food. I turned to Zuko and said, "Well that just sucks…"

"What sucks?" He asked.

"Think about it, every time we've almost kissed we've pulled away or, like just now, got interrupted,"

"Well why don't we just do it right now," He put his hand on my face.

"No, the moment was ruined,"

"Oh, yeah, true." His hand dropped.

"Yeah," I said.

For about 15 minutes we kind of just sat there. We didn't really say much until my Dad finally got home.

When I heard the car door shut, I called for Sokka. He came running downstairs and we both greeted Dad with a, "Hey dad!" and a big group hug. I glanced over to Zuko as we hugged Dad, he just had this big smile on his face. After we broke away from our hug I had Dad come with me in the kitchen.

I brought him over to Zuko and said, "Dad, this is Zuko. Zuko, this is my Dad, Hakoda," Zuko shook my Dad's hand, "It's nice to meet you, Hakoda,"

"Good to meet you, Zuko," My Dad was still unsure on what kind of kid Zuko was but I didn't worry. Zuko was a good kid, aside from beating up Jet, plus we'll defiantly be dating soon so Dad was going to have to get used to him.

I checked the food again and finished up cooking it and set the table so we could eat. Dad sat at the front of the table and Zuko sat next to him on the left. I laid hot pads on the table and brought out the potatoes and chicken. After, I called for Sokka and told him dinner was ready. He bolted down the stairs and sat across from Zuko and started digging in.

"Sokka, slow down a little and leave some for the rest of us," Dad said, chuckling.

"Aw ok," Sokka said putting down the big spoon we used to scoop the potatoes out.

I sat down next to Zuko and we said grace and like every other time we ate dinner, we mentioned mom and we all said a little prayer for her quietly to ourselves. After, we started getting food.

We all must have been really hungry because we ate in complete silence for about 5 minutes. Finally Dad broke the silence, "Katara, this is really good," He pointed at the food with his fork. I smiled, "Thanks Dad but it really wasn't much. I mean, its just chicken and potatoes. Very simple."

"Well you must put something in this to make it that much better," Surprisingly, Zuko said this.

"Thanks," I looked at my plate and lightly blushed.

"So…Zuko, how do you like school so far?" Dad asked.

"Um well, it's ok, well its great because I got to meet your kids but, some kids have been bulling me,"

"Bulling you? How so?" My dad had a confused look.

"Well, you see my scar?" Zuko made sure he could see it and my Dad nodded, "Well kids have been calling me 'Scar face' because of it. In fact, Katara's ex boyfriend Jet started the whole thing,"

"Jet did that? Well doesn't surprised since he did do those terrible things to Katara. It's a good thing you called the cops," Sokka nearly choked on his food. Once he composed himself he asked, "What? What did Jet do to you Katara? And why didn't you'll me?"

"I'll tell you later Sokka…it's not exactly he type of thing you should tell at the dinner table…"

"Oh, alright," Sokka said reluctantly.

"Well it didn't exactly help that we called the cops on him…" Zuko said.

"What do you mean?" Dad asked.

"Well, after I called my father and told him what happened, my sister found out and she bailed him out," Zuko got irritated.

"Oh…wow. That can't be good…" I could tell by him saying that, Dad wasn't really sure what to say.

"I'm so confused," Sokka complained.

"Don't worry you'll find out soon enough," I said, and Sokka went back to eating.

After we finished dinner, Zuko helped me wash the dishes and him and my Dad talked for a little bit. Afterwards, Zuko finally decided he should go home. After a firm hand shake from my father and a, "See ya," from Sokka I walked outside with him and stood in front of the door facing him.

"I had a great time meeting your dad, and besides Jet and Azula this was the best weekend yet," He said, lightly blushing. I beamed, "Well I think I could say the same," His smile grew bigger. Then suddenly, he embraced me with a bear hug lifting me off the ground. I quickly wrapped my arms around him and laughed. He set my down, still holding me, and looked lovingly at me. I squeezed him and we finally broke apart.

"I have to go now," He said, almost sadly. I just looked into his eyes. He then kissed me on the cheek and disappeared into the night.

I had opened the door and leaned against it, staring into the darkness in where he probably was. Suddenly Sokka popped up behind me, "Ready to tell me what Jet did?"

I sat on Sokka's bed and told him what happened, starting with the sex thing, "Well remember how I had you tell Dad I was going to Jet's on the first day of school?"

"Yeah," he said, kind of confused.

"Well when I was at his house in his room, after his parents had left, he took me in his room and tried to…"

"Tried to what?" Sokka said skeptically. I sighed.

"He tried to have sex with me," Sokka's eyes widened in disbelief, "HE WHAT?" Sokka shouted. I stood up put a hand on Sokka's shoulder and said, "Sokka calm down, I did not give him sex, I wasn't ready. And I won't have sex with anyone unless I'm ready,"

"You mean, you won't have sex with anyone till you're married,"

"Well I don't know…"

"Katara!" Sokka yelled.

"Hey! It's not like you never had sex with Suki,"

"That was one time! And I don't want you to ruin your life like that! You could get pregnant! And can you imagine what Jet and his friend's would say then? Jet could rape you if he wanted to!" My heart raced.

"Oh my god, I do NOT want to think about that!" I sat back down on my bed after buried my face in my hands. I felt like I wanted to cry and I kind of did, just by the memories of Jet and of what Sokka was yelling at me. After several minutes of awkward silence Sokka sighed and calmly asked, "Well…why did you have to call the cops on him?" I sniffled and let out a big sigh, "Well after Zuko had left, but he came back because he saw Jets car," I said this so Sokka wouldn't have to interrupt with questions like, "But Zuko stayed here didn't he?" I continued, "Jet pulled up in his car with a buddy and came out and tried to take me away. He was also drunk so it made it worse. But before he could try to take me I shoved him away and Zuko came back and came into the house with me." Sokka nodded for me to go on.

"Then, Jet got in through the back door so Zuko told me to call the cops and I did and they quickly came and took Jet away but, Zuko's sister, Azula, found out and she bailed him out and their dating now. Zuko and I fear that their just using each other so they can get some kind of revenge on both of us…" I looked at Sokka for a reaction. He stood in silence for a moment and said, "Well why didn't you tell me? I could've helped Zuko beat the crap out of him! I really want to now! What an ass!" Sokka exclaimed.

"It's ok Sokka. I'm pushing Jet out of my life and bringing in a new guy into my life," I smiled, just from thinking about Zuko made me giddy.

"Who?"

"Zuko," I said quietly.

"Zuko? You barley know him!"

"Ugh I knew you'd get like this," I was suddenly annoyed. I got up and began to walk away.

"Katara, I know you think you like him because he saved you from Jet and whatever! But you can't just fall in that easily! He could be just like Jet!" I clenched my hands into fists and my arms shook. Couldn't Sokka just shut up?

"When he breaks your heart and tries to have sex with you don't cry to me! Every guy is the same Katara! Don't think that Zuko really loves you because he defended you knows how to 'talk smooth'" That's it. I had had it now, "Sokka! Just SHUT UP!" I yelled, "You don't even know Zuko so don't go around saying that! You have no idea what he feels for me! I know he truly cares for me!"

"Yeah and that's just what you thought about Jet! You were so convinced that he loved you and cared deeply about you but you know what? He didn't; he never did he just wanted to get in your pants and he did a good job at holding out the relationship now didn't he?"

"SHUT. UP!" I screamed. Out of nowhere Dad came in the room, "Hey! What's going on up here?" Dad's voice rose with each word.

"Nothing." I said, "I'm going to bed. Night," I stormed out of the room and slammed my door shut as hard as I could. I didn't even change or anything I just curled up under my covers and stared into the darkness in my room.

Why did Sokka have to be so stingy about everything I do? I glared at my blue bed sheets and a tear escaped from my eye.

I really was mad at Sokka for saying that and I was even angrier because It might be true.

A/N: I really like this chapter because you can really see how protective Sokka is and how he is probably going to ruin a lot of moments -_- But anyways, i like it too because you find out a dirty secret about Sokka and Suki ;D Lol well Review and let me know what ya think! :DD
