This chapter is in Zuko's POV and is based on Catch my breath by Kelly Clarkson.
Before Katara came along, I was a wreck. I was the cliché angry boy who had just lost his mother. I was so angry at the world and everyone who dwelled on this great planet we call home. It didn't dawn on me that not everyone would be like my father. My father who killed my mother brutally and without feeling. That man is a bastard and I am ashamed to have been sired by him. That sounds downright cold, but would you love the man who killed your mother and also happened to be your dad? The answer is no and don't pretend any different for the good of my sanity.
I was constantly storming around in a huff and I would lose my temper so frequently it almost felt like a permanent state of mind. And for a while, it was. I was a sullen, angry boy whose only wish was to have his mother back, his mother who loved and cared for him.
I was so angry and I took it out on my loving uncle. He looked after me during my grief and denial. And he did it all with a jovial smile. And for that I was glad, even if I didn't show it.
My life began to turn around again when Katara and I met on that fateful day four years ago now. We were both standing in the line in Starbucks, impatiently waiting for our dose of the jitter juice. Well, I was impatient while Katara stood perfectly still, looking like the very embodiment of an angel. Do you know that cheesy chat up line; did you fall from heaven, because you look like an angel? Well, in this case it's true. Katara looked and still looks like an angel.
Her chocolate brown tresses flow halfway down her back, with little curls at the end. Her huge oceanic blue eyes give me palpitations and her gorgeous body makes me catch my breath in a way I never thought possible.
And I am so glad that she has put up with my crazy behaviour. In comparison, she is like a saint. I love her. I love her.
I love her.
I am so sorry about the poor quality of this chapter, but I hope that you still enjoyed it regardless! :)
Please read and review!
One last thing, I have just come back from my holidays so I am curious. What are you all doing for your holidays? :)
