Aang saw that Katara was standing there, observing him, and he was surprised. He got up and walked over to her, wanting to see properly, as he hadn't seen her in months. As he approached her, he saw that she was looking at him with sadness and hurt in her eyes.
"Katara…what happened?" Aang asked.
Suddenly, she looked up at him with anger in her eyes, something he had never seen in her eyes before, except to Zuko at the beginning when he had joined them.
"Who was that girl Aang?" She quietly whispered, so that Aang had to strain his ears to hear her.
Aang was taken aback. How did Katara find out about Lena so quickly?
"What girl?" He tried to act dumb.
"Don't play stupid Aang," Katara said, with anger in her voice. "The girl who kissed you in public on the STREET!"
Aang turned away, choosing not to face Katara. How to tell her?
"Katara... the governors uh... want me to..." He just couldn't tell her and break her heart.
"What Aang?!" Katara shouted back at him. "What, they want you to marry that girl so that's why you were with her?" She said sarcastically.
Aang's silence started to worry her. After a while he just nodded.
"Katara, I'm sorry, but--"
"Didn't you tell them about us?" Katara said, feeling her heart starting to crack. "Didn't you?"
"I did, but they said that I...had to marry someone...else."
"Why?"
"They said that you were not...respectable enough... Katara I tried to tell them--"
"They can't make you do something you don't want to do!" Katara argued.
"Governor Shu said I have to do this if I want my honor..." Aang mumbled. When Katara heard that she nearly killed him right there and then.
"Your honor? Are all Fire Nation people obsessed with HONOR?" She yelled in anger. When Aang tried to comfort her, she just pushed him away angrily, before asking him.
"You have to choose Aang; your honor or me," Katara said. When Aang remained silent, Katara just gave him a hurt look before running away.

Katara was in her room in the Royal Palace, having briefly explained the situation to a very insistent Sokka on her way up. Again she flopped down on her bed and started sobbing. Although it seemed very childish to cry over a boy, Katara couldn't help it. It was the only thing that seemed to help.
How could Aang choose that slut over me? Katara silently wondered. "Was honor really that important?
XxX
"Why the HELL did you do that to her?!" Sokka's voice echoed from the end of the passage, drawing curious looks from the palace helpers to the Avatar.
"It wasn't my choice!" Aang yelled back, but Sokka grabbed him by the collar and slammed him against the wall.
"You could've told that governor to fuck off!" Sokka yelled, causing several people to flinch at his language. After all, it wasn't everyday someone yelled an expletive at the Avatar. "But did you? NO!"
Aang looked down. Sokka had every right to yell at him. After all, he did break Katara's heart.
"I trusted you with her, and what did you do?" Sokka pushed him to the ground. "You broke her heart! I thought you loved her!"
As he got up, he looked down at the Avatar, lying on the ground, before growling angrily. "I better not see you with Katara again, you hear me?!" With that he left the scene, leaving the Avatar on the ground, looking crushed.
Was this really the best way to deal with the situation? Aang thought to himself. He sighed. He needed to have a talk with someone. And who better than the very person who had problems with honor in the past.
He started to walk to Zuko's room.
Sorry for the short chapter, but i'll get it longer the next chapter, I promise. And I was busy watching Kataang AMVs on youtube on my ipod when my com was screwed, so i'm spending some time to make one of my own, soon to be on youtube. And i'll be away on holiday for a while tmr, so there won't be updates until next thursday. Pls review.
