Hey everybody! This chapter is pretty short and I'm really sorry for that. I have the next chapter all planned out in my head, but it's not on paper. Oh, and this chapter is pretty sad. Grab your tissues!

Only You, Part 3

Last night I dreamed of marrying Zuko. As much as Ihate to admit it, I really wished the dream didn't end. I am such a traitor to Aang, and Sokka. I have to stop thinking these thoughts. Zuko is my enemy. I should not love him. But my heart is telling me differently. I know if I really thought this was wrong I wouldn't have to remind myself this everyday.

The boys and I are eating breakfast, the usual leftover cold soup as usual. We have to stop at a port; I need something else to eat instead of this stuff.

"So we're going to stop at the next town we see?" I hear Sokka ask.

Aang nods. "Yep. The map says the town is called Indri", he says. Then he grins at me. "I memorized it."

I smile back at him. Aang is so sweet, and he already lost his family to the Fire Nation. And here I am, secretly meeting the Prince of that same nation. Not to mention kissing him! Tonight, I'm sure Zuko would be in the woods; there, I would tell him I can't continue to see him. I know it will break his heart.

And mine too.

The moon is bright and full. There is a cold breeze out tonight. I don't want to leave my sleeping bag. For one, I'm cold. And two, I'm nervous about Zuko. But I have to suck up my fear, and do it. With a deep breath, I climb out of my sleeping bag and walk slowly into the forest. I'm sure Aang and Sokka is asleep.

I find the spot we were at a night ago. My heart is beating fast. I can't do this, I tell myself. Maybe it's not too late to turn back— Before I could finish this thought, I felt two strong arms wrap around me. I instantly melted into it. I knew it was Zuko.

But then I tensed up a bit. I still have to tell him I can no longer see him. My lips feel a bit dry and my heart starts to beat a bit faster. He turns me around and kisses me passionately. I can't resist him. I lean into the kiss. After a minute or two, I pull away, gasping for air. He smirks at me.

"Zuko…" I begin.

"Yes?" He asks tenderly.

I hate myself for the pain I'm about to cause him. And me.

I take a deep breath and continue. "Zuko", I hesitate. "I… I can't see you again." I say quickly, in a small voice.

He doesn't say anything for a while. I look into his eyes. I see nothing but sadness and confusion. I hate myself for causing him so much pain. I drop my eyes from his.

"Why?" He asks. "I know you don't want to do this."

"I have to", I answer, still focusing on the ground. "I can't betray my brother and Aang." I feel like crying. I can't believe I'm doing this.

"And what about me?" He asks angrily. He pulls away from me. "Look at me Katara!" I hesitantly look up at him. I don't want to see the anger and pain I've caused him. "Do you think me caring for you was just a joke? Look at me and tell me you felt nothing when we kissed. Tell me you don't care for me!" He yells.

I don't say anything for a few seconds. "I can't be with you." I simply say. I stand on my toes and kiss him on the cheek. I feel hot tears running along my cheeks. As lowered myself down, I refuse to look at him. I feel so ashamed. "Bye Zuko." I say and walks pass him, without looking back.

I feel so empty. I feel like… I don't know what I feel like. I can't think straight. I feel so much heartache. This just feels like a nightmare, a horrible, unrealistic nightmare. I hate it.

Before I disappear into the forest, I whisper, "I love you, Zuko."

And I end you with a sad cliffie. I'm so evil. I was actually on the verge of tears while I was writing the whole 'Heartbreak' scene. Don't worry; this WILL be a Zutara fic. They just have to have those little obstacles they have to overcome.

Thanks for reading and don't forget to review! (Hopefully you won't fuss me out… ''-smiles nervously-
