Hugs and reviews!

I used my hands to guide myself down and out of hall that was probably awkwardly quiet, my whole body was shaking and I could feel myself on the brink of tears.

"No Toph, be strong," I tell myself once I finally feel fresh air, I quickly run off the stairs and when I can finally feel solid ground I quickly kick my shoes off and I let my feet breath and I can see. I guide myself to find something to sit on anything a rock, a bench, a squishy piece of grass even sounded good. Finally I found grass and I let it lead me to a hard piece of wood, I glide my hand over it and I realize that it is in fact a bench, I position myself to sit down when I feel a gap between my back and the bench, I guess it was actually a picnic table, huh. Anyway I let myself relax, lying my head on the table I tried to keep my emotions at bay but it wasn't easy. I felt myself begin to cry, "Sokka you are so stupid!" I shout getting ready to slam my head down on the table, an irrational method, true, but I always found myself doing it. I was mid hit when I heard dainty footsteps making their way down the steps, it was either Twinkletoes or...

"Toph stop!" Katara shouts running over to me and grabbing my arm before I could meet the table, as if grabbing my arm was going to stop me, but I humored her.

I turned my head to the direction I think Katara is in and just stare (well not really stare...oh you get it), "so what it is it that you want?" I ask with a little too much edge.

"I just wanted to know how you were feeling, when Sokka said your name I looked for you and you were gone," she begins slowly and suddenly I can feel everything coming back, I throw my legs off of the bench and find my way to my feet.

"How can he be so stupid? You know it's days like this I am so glad I am blind," I shout making the ground begin to shake, thanks Katara my feelings were coming out and I wasn't going to be able to stop it.

"Toph," Katara begins and I can feel her standing up and coming towards me.

"I mean I'm so glad I didn't have to witness the hurt, humiliation, the devastation that I know was present on Suki's face when your stupid brother said MY NAME!" I shout louder and the earth begins to shake even harder.

" Toph, there is no reason to start an earthquake," Katara says slowly and I know she is right I just can't help it.

"You know I've been in love with him since I was 12 years old? Just as long as you've loved Aang, but I had to compete for his heart and you know what I ended up being? The best friend," I begin my voice shaking with anger I was also trying to fight off the tears that were quickly coming to my eyes, "And you know what I accepted it, I accepted that I was only ever going to be his best friend because you know what at least I was something and he made his choice to stay with Suki and then he goes and says MY NAME!" I shout again and the ground begins to rumble harder than before, I know Katara was probably scared and I really didn't want her to be, I just really couldn't help it.

Once the ground stops shaking I drop to my knees tears streaming hard down my face, I was able to feel Katara's warmth next to me and I accepted it willingly crying into her shoulder.

"i know you love him Toph," she says softly running her hands through my hair, I hear dainty footsteps once more and I wait for Aang to speak but the voice I hear isn't Aang's.

"And he loves you," it's Suki's voice soft and it doesn't sound hurt more like accepting, accepting of whatever feeling Sokka had for me. We both stand up at the sound of her voice, Katara helps guide me towards her.

Suddenly I felt the need to tell Suki I was sorry, reassure her that Sokka did in fact love her, except I wasn't exactly sure what Sokka did feel.

"Suki what do you mean?" Katara asks and I am thankful she did the asking instead of me because I wasn't even sure what to say

"I always felt like I was competing with Toph, Sokka would come and see me after hanging out and helping Toph train and he would be glowing, he never glowed so deeply with me I've always been jealous of you," she tells us with a sigh, "when he proposed I was excited but I was also scared he claimed to have chosen me years ago but when he did propose it was unexpected and in my mind I was wondering how you were doing."

We were all silent a few moments I then say, " I told him I was fine with it," and she laughs not a cynical laugh or a loud laugh just a small one enough to make me feel bad again.

"That was like his ultimatum, if you had told him how you felt he wouldn't have gone along with it, if you would have opposed," she sniffles, Katara and I were both already crying she didn't need to join in, "he would have broken up with me."

"Suki that's not true at all," I say but I don't think she's listening to me because she continues on letting out everything she needs to say.

"I went along with everything because it was what I always wanted, I loved, love Sokka more than anybody else will know but the devastation on his face when he told me you weren't coming to the wedding was so apparent I couldn't ignore it," she draws a breath, the wind blows cold, I could feel my dress flowing up I grab it pushing it down, "when Katara and Aang came without you I knew what had to be done, for Sokka's sake, I asked Katara to get you and bring you and she did.

"I saw you when I walked down the aisle and I couldn't help but notice how breath taking you were and I knew he saw it too...and then he said your name and I realized I can't marry him, I can't marry him because he was wishing it was you standing across from him, it was you all along like I thought," she finishes and I'm able to tell she is crying hard, "I must get going, please Katara tell your brother I love him and that I wish him well." After she said 'well' I heard her footsteps begin to fade and again Katara and I were alone.
