Korra
I sniffled, wiping my nose with my arm. I was wearing a black dress along with black booties. I had on a grey heart necklace and studs. I was carrying a black bag with a lace design. I had put my brown hair into a low bun and braided a few parts. I had put on some mascara and red lipstick. Akari was next to me. She had on a black dress with a jacket to match. Her studs were a simple black. She was carrying a black clutch with a gold triangle design on it. Her shoes were just some black heels. She curled her black hair, and added some mascara and some red lipstick. Annalisa was supposed to come soon.
Asami would've hated the funeral. She would've wanted everyone to be happy and dancing and smiling; not crying and mentally screaming. I didn't how Bolin was taking this, nor did I want to. I felt a hand on my shoulder, and looked up to see Annalisa. Her usually stormy grey eyes looked almost black. She had on a black tank top with a green army jacket thrown over it. Her jeans were just blue skinny jeans. She had on some black wedge boot things. Her earrings were just plain gold leaves. She had on some pink lipstick and some mascara. Her blonde curly hair was pulled into a high ponytail, and her phone was in her back pocket.
"Hi," she mumbled to me, sitting next to me.
"Hey," I smiled. I turned my attention back to the coffin. It was an open-coffin funeral.
"You may come up and say some words to Miss Sato." the priest said, gesturing to the coffin. Bolin shot up first, practically sprinting over to the coffin. I got behind Mako, who got behind Akari, who was behind Asami's parents, who were behind Bolin.
Thunder rumbled over the skyline, grey clouds incasing the once blue sky. It was finally my turn. I walked up to her, smiling. She had her hair straightened, and some pink lipstick on. Her nails were pink and she was in a sparkly dress.
"Hi," I whispered. "I...I can't believe you're gone. We never got to go to the beach, or talk behind MAC girls backs in French. You will never get to see Naga grow up, and we can never have a double date." I went on and on for what felt like hours. I finally finished, tears pouring down my face. Mako was suddenly there, embracing me in a hug. He kissed me, telling me it would be okay. But I didn't hear anything. I felt numb, and everything moved at a slow pace. I felt something wet on my head, soon realising it was raining. I smiled, feeling the water wash away all of the makeup on my face.
The next day...
I sat on my couch, dressed in the sloppiest clothes I could find; a beanie, a sweatshirt, yoga pants, and socks. I had my glasses on and my hair was in a bun. I was watching Pretty Little Liars, loving Hanna. Aria was probably my least favourite. I felt the couch next to me sink and realised Mako sat down. He handed me a Dr. Pepper and a bag of Hot Fries.
"Korra, you don't have to come to work tomorrow." I looked at him, watching him put Doritos in his mouth.
"No, I have to," I angrily sipped my Dr. Pepper. "For Asami."
"Korra, Asa-""
"Don't, Mako."
"Korra-"
"Just...just get out Mako." He nodded before getting up and walking to my front door.
"I love you, Korra." his voice said. I smiled, tears gathering in my eyes.
"I love you, too." I heard the door shut, flinching.
Months passed. I went to work, doing my job. I went out once in a while, but I mostly stayed in, watching TV. Mako stayed with me. I watched Naga grow. Annalisa got married to her boyfriend. Bolin was getting better, slowly and painfully. Hiroshi and Chie moved away. And all I did was cry, work, and sleep. It was a cycle.
A few months later...
I knelt down, setting down the pink roses. I smiled slightly.
"Happy birthday, Asami. You're 22 now. I umm..brought you your favourite flower. Pink roses," I sat on the ground. "I miss you. A lot. It's almost unhealthy. I haven't been eating a lot lately. I haven't moved any of your stuff. Your cot is still there. Your clothes are still there, colour coded. Your flip-flops are still lying where they were. Annalisa got married to Roman, her boyfriend. Naga is now eight months old. Your parents moved away to Florida. Bolin...he-he's having some trouble. But he's getting better," I sniffled. "So, I decided to sing you your favourite song. Here we go." I cleared my throat.
Little do you know
How I'm breaking while you fall asleep
Little do you know
I'm still haunted by the memories
Little do you know
I'm trying to pick myself up piece by piece
Little do you know
I need a little more time
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside
I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready to forgive you but forgetting is a harder fight
Little do you know
I need a little more time
I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Little do you know
I know you're hurting while I'm sound asleep
Little do you know
All my mistakes are slowly drowning me
Little do you know
I'm trying to make it better piece by piece
Little do you know
I love you 'til the sun dies
Oh wait, just wait
I love you like I've never felt the pain,
Just wait
I love you like I've never been afraid,
Just wait
Our love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
I'll wait, I'll wait
I love you like you've never felt the pain,
I'll wait
I promise you don't have to be afraid,
I'll wait
The love is here and here to stay
So lay your head on me
Lay your head on me
So lay your head on me
'Cause little do you know
I, I love you 'til the sun dies
