Sry that I haven't written in a while, I was very busy! I have a lot of projects due soon!

Chapter 24

Katara rolled onto her back and groaned. Katara opened her eyes to see Aang sitting next to her. "You're awake!" shouted Aang as he threw his arms around her.

If you're not the one then why does my soul feel glad today?

"What happened?" asked Katara, blushing from Aang's sudden act.

If you're not the one then why does my hand fit yours this way?

"When I pulled you out of the water you threw up...then pasted out..." said Aang. "I was so worried."

If you are not mine then why does your heart return my call

"You...where worried...about me?" said Katara, confused. "Why..."

If you are not mine would I have the strength to stand at all

"When...Sasha shoved you under the water I started to panic. I don't know what happened...I just wanted to throw her off the ship, I pushed her out of the way. And when I had you in my arms...something came over me...my heart started to flutter when you touched my cheek..." Aang couldn't believe he just spoke those words. His feelings for her where revealed, and even though she said 'I love you' to him, she still probably didn't love him.

I never know what the future brings
But I know you are here with me now

"Aang..I.." Aang put his finger on Katara's lips to hush her.

We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

"I need to tell you something...something that I should have said a very long time ago...something that I should have said they day I left..." Aang stopped. 'How am I going to say this?'

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am?
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

"I...I.." stuttered Aang.

"Yes..." said Katara.

If I don't need you then why am I crying on my bed?
If I don't need you then why does your name resound in my head?

"I..." Aang could no longer speak. 'I need to tell her...but I'm too afraid!'

If you're not for me then why does this distance maim my life?
If you're not for me then why do I dream of you as my wife?

"Aang, spit it out! Please, say what you want to tell me!" said Katara getting a little impatient.

I don't know why you're so far away
But I know that this much is true

"I..love..you.." whispered Aang.

We'll make it through
And I hope you are the one I share my life with

Katara was speechless. 'He loves me...HE LOVES ME!' Katara couldn't have been happier. But she couldn't find what to say.

And I wish that you could be the one I die with
And I pray in you're the one I build my home with
I hope I love you all my life

Aang frowned. 'I knew it, she doesn't love me...if she loved me she would have said something by now.'

don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am
Is there any way that I can stay in your arms?

Aang stood up. "It's okay Katara, you don't need to respond...I understand...I'm sorry for wasting your life.."

'Cause I miss you, body and soul so strong that it takes my breath away
And I breathe you into my heart and pray for the strength to stand today

Aang was about to leave when Katara shouted "AANG! Don't go...I need to tell you something too...I love you...I love you so much..." Katara began to cry a little.

'Cause I love you, whether it's wrong or right
And though I can't be with you tonight
And know my heart is by your side

"You love me?" said Aang.

"Yes...I love you so much..." said Katara hugging her only love.

I don't want to run away but I can't take it, I don't understand
If I'm not made for you then why does my heart tell me that I am

Aang cupped Katara's chin and began to drawl her into a kiss.

Is there any way that I can stay in your arms

MUAHAHA! Yet another cliffy! I am so evil! Anyway, the song was 'If You're Not The One' By 'Daniel Bedingfield' Please R&R!
