A/N: I haven't done a 30 Days thing in over a month. Woops. Here's some nothing special, one-sided Borra.

Day 21 - Denial
She told herself she wouldn't cry.
And to be fair, she wasn't crying… yet. But the emotions were beginning to overwhelm her, churning inside like angry waves that threatened to pull her under any second. Korra struggled to choke down the lump lodged in her throat, struggled to breathe as her metaphorical heart broke all over again every second she saw him holding, kissing, loving her.
She hadn't been this upset when her relationship with Mako ended. If she felt anything at all while she was with him it was more than likely the anger and frustration she kept pent up inside. Eventually it all spewed out like lava, words thrown like weapons intending to harm. And in the moments they could bear to be civil to each other, she'd find herself longing for something more, someone else. When they finally broke up she was more relieved than upset.
But her feelings for Bolin had never really changed. They simply grew. Into a love that she hadn't believed she could feel. A love she never even realized she wanted…
…until it was too late.
