Book One:
Love Is Nothing
Chapter One: The Past Hurts
Katara's POV
It happened what seems like a really long time ago… It was the day of my birthday and I was so happy because I knew I wanted to tell Aang how I felt. I awoke with the feeling that something was not right. I dressed and went outside to find Aang… WITH ANOTHER GIRL! I felt my heart break into pieces. I knew this girl, we had been talking the night before, but I had no idea that he liked her. Her name was Cindy. She had been really nice and I had liked her. But now I couldn't like anybody who liked my Aang! At that time I didn't do anything at all, but by night I was sure I was going to rip her head off. They were flirting and laughing and holding hands. It was making me sick. I watched as Cindy excused herself and walked towards me. I knew it was time to give her a talk.
"Hey Katara" Cindy said as she walked over to the tent that she lived in. I was standing in the way of her getting in.
"Is there something wrong Katara?"
"You're what's wrong Cindy"
"What do you mean Katara?"
"I mean that you can't just go around stealing other girls loves" I spat and she looked confused.
"What do you mean- Oh you mean Aang" Cindy said and an evil smile appeared on her face. She was happy that she was taking Aang away from me.
"Katara do you have a problem with me and Aang hanging out together?" Cindy asked and I nodded. I thought she was giving in to me.
"Well I'm sorry, but he loves me… Not you… And the problem is that he has invited me to come on your little journey!" Cindy explained and I gasped.
"WHAT!"
"Yep that's right, I'm coming on your journey!" Cindy repeated and I felt the tears well up in my eyes. Cindy smirked and put on an innocent face as she walked back to Aang... He hadn't even said happy birthday to me...
A couple days later…
Cindy and Aang were still flirting and laugh and holding hands like all couples do. Yes that's right, they were a couple. An item, one piece, not single, together…. And no Sokka didn't do anything about it. He didn't even help me… We landed on an island where Earthbenders lived. I was happy to finally have landed somewhere with other people. This was were I met somebody who I could totally relate too and see if Aang would get jealous. His name was Haru. He was really nice and my age. (I'm 16, Aang's 15, and Sokka is 17) I thought he was totally the right person for me, so we started to talk and I didn't notice anything about Aang being jealous. One day we went on a walk, it changed everything I saw in life… I just knew that I finally found something to live for, and that was Haru.
"Katara?"
"Yes Haru?"
"These last few days have been amazing…"
"I know I will never ever forget them" I said and smiled as we stopped to gaze at the night sky.
"I was going to ask you something…" Haru said and blushed. I turned too look at him. I wanted to know what he was thinking about.
"What is it?" I questioned
"Well you see, I was wondering… If you would just take a couple years off of your journey and stay here with me- I mean if you want… You don't have too"
"Oh Haru is that it? I don't know… I would have to ask Aang… Just let me think about it for a while" I said and Haru nodded. We spilt apart. I wanted so badly to go with Haru because I knew I loved him. But I also knew that I loved Aang more… But he was taken… By that beast… CINDY! I hated her. All these thoughts circled in my head as I walked back to our camp. Aang was sitting alone by the fire and I knew it was the right time to talk to him about staying here for a while.
"Aang?"
"Huh? Oh hey Katara" Aang said and I walked over to sit next to him.
"Is something wrong Aang?"
"No everything is alright"
"Well then can I talk to you?" I questioned and he nodded.
"I was wondering- No Haru was wondering if it you be alright for me to stay here for a year or two… It might be good for me too relax a little… And anyways you have Cindy" I muttered the last part out so he couldn't hear it.
"What do you mean Katara? Are you just going to leave us?"
"No Aang, I'll come back when we go to the North Pole I promise" I assured him and I knew he was mad at me.
"No Katara I can't accept that"
"WHAT!"
"I can't accept that!"
"Repeat that one last time for me Aang"
"You're not staying here with him!"
"What do you mean! I can make up my own mind! You are not the boss of me!" I shouted at him even thought I did not want too. I did not want to fight… Not now!
"Then why the hell did you ask me in the first place!"
"I wanted to know if you were okay with it and I knew you would want me to let you know about it! But I was wrong! You're just a stubborn teenager like Sokka! Anyways you have that bitch CINDY!" I shouted again and ran back towards the village. Tears stinging my eyes. Little did I know that Cindy and Haru were watching me and laughing as they had just broke up our team…
The next day…
Aang, Sokka, and Cindy were getting ready to leave for their next trip. I didn't come to wish them good-bye. I was still so angry at Aang. How could he? After all we had been through? I had stayed with Haru the night before… I had already told him I was staying. A couple hours later, Haru came back with the news that Aang, Sokka, and Cindy had left… I felt my heart break, I didn't really want them to leave me here all alone… I mean… I… It was my fault… I should have never yelled at Aang.
"Katara is there something wrong?" Haru questioned and I nodded.
"I- don't- want- to- stay- here- anymore" I said between sobs.
"It's too late Katara… You're stuck here with me now" Haru said with an evil grin before he walked away. Leaving me alone to cry out my eyes….
