The Story of My Broken Life
Book One:
Love Is Nothing
Chapter Five: Please
Katara's POV
I sat on the roof starring up into the sunset. I didn't know if Aang had left yet and I was regretting everything I had said to Aang. I missed him and knew I loved him so much. How could my whole life be torn up in a matter of two hours? I got up and walked downstairs to find Haru or Ming or somebody I could count on for always being there. I found Sokka, Aang, and Cindy getting ready to leave. Sokka looked up as I entered the room; he was the only one that noticed I was there. Which hurt me. I didn't care if Cindy knew I was there, I just cared if Aang knew I was there.
"Hey Katara." Sokka said and I smiled. He was the best brother in the world. We didn't get along all the time, but we were family, and that made us stick together. Through good and bad.
"So you guys are leaving?" I questioned and Aang's head sprung up to look at me. I smiled at him, but he didn't.
"Yes, we're heading out in ten minutes." Cindy said, but didn't look up from packing.
"Can I talk to you for a second Aang?"
"Sure, I guess." Aang said and followed me out the door. We walked over to a tree in front of the house.
"Please Aang…"
"Katara before you say anything, I'm sorry for saying that I didn't love you… I do love you, but you're making this so hard."
"Aang, I love you with all my heart, but this can't work."
"What do you mean?"
"You're the Avatar and I'm…. Just a girl… You're suppose to get married to somebody that has the greatest life in the world… And I'm broken."
"What do you mean Katara?"
"You don't want me, nobody does."
"Katara, I want you."
"You're just saying that Aang, you don't love me."
"KATARA I LOVE YOU."
By now tears were like rivers flooding down my face. I ran and hugged Aang. But this was wrong; I had given my promise to Haru to marry him when I was seventeen. No, I couldn't do this; I couldn't love anybody but Haru. I pushed away from Aang and tried to explain what was happening.
"Aang, please try to understand, I can't do this. I gave my promise to Haru that I would marry him when I'm seventeen that's in a month… I can't love you and you can't love me… It's not right."
"Katara, please…."
"Since you left I was trying to understand why you didn't love me and why you liked Cindy so much… I found somebody who loves me for me and isn't scared to show it… I'm sorry Aang, I can't be with you."
"But we love each other."
"But I love Haru." I kept trying to make sure I looked like I meant it. I know I had just told him that I loved him but I needed to take it back… Not like I wanted too.
By this remark of mine, Aang had stepped away from me. He looked like he was going to die. He started to walk away, back to the house to pack some more and then he was going to leave… Forever…
"Aang… I'm sorry!"
"I guess we were never meant to be… I'm sorry too Katara…" And with that he disappeared into the house…
Ten minutes later…
Aang, Cindy, and Sokka were getting ready to leave. They loaded their stuff on Appa and prepared themselves to say good-bye. Aang avoided saying good-bye to me. Sokka was first to say good-bye.
"I'll miss you Katara, you sure you don't want to come?" Sokka questioned and I shook my head.
"As long as you remember me, I'll be fine… Promise you'll visit me soon Sokka, promise."
"I promise, but you have to promise to come with us one of these days."
"I don't know… I would have to think about it…" I smiled sadly and stepped away biting my lip to make sure the tears would not come. Cindy did not even bother to say good-bye and Aang just nodded and looked away. I sighed and waved to them as they flew away knowing that Aang took my heart with him as he left. I turned around once they were out of sight.
"Katara… Are you alright?" Ming walked up to me and touched my shoulder lightly. I shook her off and walked into the house without even answering her. I locked my bedroom door and sighed. I should try to get ready for the wedding… I mean I really did want to do this… Didn't I?
A few weeks later…
I awoke with a start… Today was my birthday, tomorrow was my wedding. I sighed and pushed back the covers and got up pulling on my dress. I walked into the kitchen and found Haru who was happily reading. I sat down next to him and tried to smile but knew my heart wasn't in it.
"I can't wait for tomorrow Katara." Haru said and smiled as he pushed back some of my hair. I nodded and stood up.
"I'm going to get ready with Ming." I said and moved to the door opening it and closing it quickly behind me. A week after Aang left Ming had her baby. A healthy girl named Angel. It was a wonderful thing for Ming, I hadn't seen her so happy in a long time. I knocked on her door and open it slightly.
"Katara!" Ming said and grabbed my hand and pulled me into her house. It looked cleaner then before. I smiled as we passed Angel. I stopped and brushed some hair out of Angel's face. I smiled sweetly and walked with Ming.
"What's up darling?" She joked and poured me some tea. "Is something bothering you?"
"It's… My birthday." Ming looked shocked.
"Oh my god, I totally forgot! I'm so sorry!" Ming said and I laughed nervously. I shook my head and held my hands up.
"Don't worry Ming, you've been busy with Angel, it's alright!" I said and Ming shook her head.
"It's not alright! Katara, I've been your best friend for a long time and I can't even remember your birthday! What is wrong with me? You'll have to leave, I have to get you something…" Ming kept on talking. "I will talk to you later." She stood me up and pushed me out of her house.
"Ming!"
"Don't worry, I'll come and meet you at the market when I've got everything ready!" She laughed and closed the door in my face. Something was going on.
