And it is continued!
Mako drove me home in silence. He looked seriously upset whenever I snuck a peek at him.
So I had hurt his feelings.
Shit.
We pulled into my driveway and I almost jumped out of the car, but Mako's cracking voice brought my body back in. "What's wrong?"
I sighed. "You already know the answer to that." I whispered.
"You didn't let me kiss you." He murmured.
I stared at him, anger pulsing through my body. "Are you serious?!" he stared at me, confusion. "My best friend, Mako!" I screamed. "My best friend is gone! She's gone! GONE! And all you give a fuck about is that I didn't want to KISS you?"
He stared at me, wide-eyed and was shaking his head.
"ugh!" I screamed. I jumped out of his car and slammed the door, running to my house. I ran through the door and silently shut the door.
Tears streaming down my face, I ran into Howl's room.
He was sitting there, on the bed, his head in his hands.
Howl POV
What the hell am I going to do? I groaned as I laid back on my bed, my face red and teary.
Korra isn't going to talk. She isn't going to want to go on. Knowing my sister was a good and bad thing.
Good- I always knew where she was, when she was lying, and what she needed, just by a look in her face.
Bad- I knew her emotions; loneliness, hurt, pain, loss. Everything.
I heard my front door creak open. I kept my head down, I didn't want to know who had come to see Korra and give their fake apologies.
Until I heard their sniffle from across my room. My head snapped up and I leapt over to my sister, engulfing her in a bear-hug.
I never wanted to let go. I love her. She's my baby girl, my little sister.
"She was responding to my text." Korra cried into my shoulder.
…what? What text, I-
Oh no. oh hell to the fuck to the no. She was NOT blaming herself for this. I pulled away and pulled her chin up to look at me. "No. Fucking. Way. This is not your fault!" I scolded.
"But-"
I shushed her, pulling her back in.
"But-"
I shushed her again, resting my head on the top of hers. She sighed, and hugged me back.
Maybe, I thought, just maybe, she would take this well.
Korra POV
I lay in Howl's bed. Without Howl.
He said he'd be right back, 20 minutes ago! 20 whole minutes!
I was scared.
What if he was dead? (now, now, my children, don't freak out like Korra, he isn't dead, Korra is going a little bit insane after… ya know. Just making sure you don't have a heart attack)
…yes. It was possible! A robber could've come in! He could've run to the grocery store and gotten jumped! He could be dead! And I'm laying here in his bed?
No, I will not sit around and let another person die today.
So I got up, out of bed, and ran down the stairs. Where Howl wasn't. I started freaking out now.
I left a note, just in case.
And ran outside. It was raining.
Fuck you too, mother nature.
I ran.
Again.
Like always.
And I didn't stop until I got to my new destination. I hesitated before knocking.
I don't know what to say, to whoever would answer.
Bolin… I wouldn't be able to contain myself. I think I might die right there on his doorstep. Dying with guilt and sadness.
Mako… Apologize, I guess. Wait for him to invite me in, sleep in his bed, no nightmares, nothing.
I knocked heavily.
To my surprise (and slight gratitude) Mr. Anderson opened the door. He looked as if he had been crying, but I wasn't sure.
"Oh my god. Korra." He brought me into a hug. A dad-hug. One I haven't had my whole life.
"Korra?" I heard a broken voice almost shout across the house. Then the scrambling to run to the door.
Only to be followed by another. "Korra?" Another, broken, terrifying voice that made me want to die. And… shuffling.
Why were they all awake at 12am?! Go to bed!
Suddenly 2 more bears were added to our mid-doorway hug.
2 minutes later all 3 of them were sitting in 3 chairs across from me.
So I was going to be grilled.
Bolin looked at his father and Mako, desperately waiting for them to ask the question. The he exploded.
"WHAT WERE YOU THINKING?" He stood, I could see he was holding back tears. "YOU… YOU JUST LEFT US! WHY? WHY WOULD YOU DO THAT?" He had paced his way over to me. "I KNOW THAT SHE WAS YOUR BEST FRIEND AND ALL, BUT I LOVED HER TOO!"
I stared at him, digging my fingernails deep into my skin to stop from crying.
Because he was right.
I was a wimp. I got up and hugged him tightly. He tensed at first but he finally let his tears go and squeezed me to him. I squeaked but I didn't dare let go. Because, Bolin had held me together once, and now it was my turn.
I'm not sure how long it was but I think Bolin about passed out on top of me, because the second Mr. Anderson pulled him away, Bolin almost immediately fell asleep. Mr. Anderson had taken Bolin up to his room and then proceeded to go to his own room.
Mako picked me off the ground and brought me to his room, putting me on his bed. He threw his shirt onto the ground and laid next to me, pulling me into his lap. I put my head in the crook of his neck.
"Listen, I know I'm being shallow, but I just love you so much, and I need to always be there for you because I know I haven't always been th-" I cut him off.
By kissing him.
Because I wasn't mad at him, I was mad at myself. And I love him. And he is here for me, and he can't blame himself for that.
I ended the kiss quickly, because I was tired and it was just my way of apologizing.
He caught the vibe and turned off the light. He held me to him and dug his face into my hair. "I love you." He whispered.
I smiled and whispered back, "I love you more."
"Impossible."
Next chapter is the funeral. :(
