Chapter 3: I'm Sorry
Katara's POV
"Katara it's him! It's the Avatar!" I heard Ming yell those words to me and I almost fainted. What was he doing here? Did he actually remember my stupid request for him to come back if it was time to go to the North Pole? I didn't move. I stood there totally frozen as people cheered. I felt like running up to Aang and saying everything that I had forgotten to say before…
"Katara? Are you coming? Don't you want to see Aang?" Ming questioned and I shook my head. I ran back inside my house. I locked the door and leaned against the door and sighed. I heard knocks on the door and Ming's voice.
"Please Katara… Don't do this… This is your only chance"
"Sorry Ming, I can't…. It's been too long" I said and took a deep breath. I heard Ming's footsteps wander off. I got up and looked out the window. That's where I saw him. Aang… My mind told me to go after him to tell him I was sorry for what happened a couple years before, but my heart told me not to get hurt again... I slumped against the wall again. I couldn't take looking at him again. He must hate me by now.
"She's over here Aang, I've already asked her, I don't think she will listen to anybody" Ming's voice came closer and closer. I could heard foot steps and then a knock on the door.
"Yes?" I didn't get up. I couldn't. My legs were too weak.
"Hey Katara! It's Aang" The dreaded name and that voice. Oh my god I could faint right now.
"Oh… Ok I'll be right out" I said and quickly ran to my room to change. I put on my favorite thing. Why was I so happy that Aang was back? He had lost his chances a long time ago, but I couldn't stop myself. I threw on a white skirt and a blue shirt. I ran to the door and calmed myself before opening it. There was Aang, Sokka, and…. Cindy. Ming was in the back round. She was shrugging her shoulders at me. She didn't know why she had led them here, but she just couldn't stop. He was the Avatar and it was always an honor to meet somebody that great.
"Hey Aang" I said and hugged him. He was taller then me even though he was a year younger then me. He wore the same thing that he did when we were together on journeys just bigger. I let go and ran into Sokka's arms. I hadn't seen him forever and he was my brother.
"Sokka, I've missed you"
"I've missed you too Katara" I released him and smiled at everybody except for Cindy. I didn't go and talk to her or anything. I saw Haru walk over. Oh no this was trouble.
"Hey Haru!" I said and ran over to him. This was to show Aang that I had moved on just like he had. I kiss Haru on the cheek and then turned around.
"Oh no! I forgot to introduce everybody! Aang, Sokka, and Cindy, This is Haru my boyfriend and my best friend in the whole wide world Ming! Ming and Haru this is Aang, my brother Sokka, and you already know Cindy" I said and smiled. Wow I was stupid then. I acted so fake that everybody probably could notice everything I did was fake.
"Nice to meet everybody" Aang said and he acted a little uncomfortable. I smiled. My plan to make Aang jealous was working.
"So would everybody like to come in?" Haru questioned and everybody nodded. The group of villagers that were following groaned. They wanted to see the Avatar. When we entered the house, they walked off. We all sat around the table. I sat next to Ming and Haru. Across from us there was Aang, Cindy, and Sokka at the other end. I smiled a fake smile because I was dying inside, but I couldn't let them know that.
"So what have you been doing over the years Aang?" I questioned
"Well I've mastered three of the four elements" Aang answered and I thought I was gonna die. Aang had remembered we were going to go to the South Pole together.
"Which ones?" Ming questioned and it snapped me out of my thoughts.
"Well, Air, Earth, and Fire" Aang said and blushed slightly. My smile got bigger. I touched my hands to my mouth. I quickly covered my smile, I didn't want him to know I was happy he had remembered.
"How did you learn- Never mind" Ming saw me glaring at her, and she knew to stop.
"So why are you back here?" That was the question that set off the tension. Aang rested his head on his hand. He was 15 years old and he acted like he was 20. I sighed, I couldn't help but wonder if the reason Aang had come back was for me.
"Well… I" Aang started, but Cindy cut in.
"Of course, he just wanted to see if his little friend remembered about going to the North Pole with him and Sokka" This was when I snapped up and looked Aang in the eye. How I loved the way his eyes looked.
"I remembered" I said and straightened out my skirt. Aang sat up and smiled.
"So then you'll come with us right?" Aang questioned and I looked away. I had a life now. I lived with my boyfriend, I had a new best friend, I had a job… And I just couldn't give that up could I?
"Sorry, Aang… I'll have to think about that" I said and I knew Aang was waiting for a quick answer because I had been his best friend. I got up and walked to my bedroom, I had forgotten to finish that letter of mine, but now it didn't matter. I sat down on my bed, but before, I closed the door. I buried my face in my hands. Letting the tears drip between my fingers. I fell backwards, still covering my face. I fell asleep with a question on my head: Should I go with Aang?
A couple hours later…
I got up quickly and opened my door, I had made my decision. Aang and everybody were sitting outside waiting. I sighed and sat back down at my chair.
"So what's the answer?" Haru questioned and I stared at the ground knowing everybody was looking at me.
"I'm sorry Aang, I can't go with you… This… Is…. My life now"
