Author's Note: This is from Katara's POV and while I realize that she is not a man, I just thought that this song totally fit the story.

"Aang are you happy?"

"What do you mean?"

"I mean are you happy with Toph?"

"More than you know." I just nodded and smiled a little sad smile. I had tried to be everything that he needed in a girl, but in the end he needed something completely different, which is why he cheated on me. I gave him everything, I left my home, my family, everything I'd ever known, but it wasn't enough, he needed more.

'Hey girl, is he everything you wanted in a man?

You know I gave you the world

You had me in the palm of your hand

So why your love went away

I just can't seem to understand

Thought it was me and you babe

Me and you until the end

But I guess I was wrong'

I thought we were perfect together, everybody else thought so too. Everywhere we went we were told that we made such a cute couple. Even after we were no longer together people kept mistaking us for a couple. I hated this, the assumption that we were together. But I hated the way it ended more, he cheated on me. It just wasn't fair he left me alone with no one. For days after I wondered how I would get along without him.

'Don't want to think about it

Don't want to talk about it

I'm just so sick about it

Can't believe it's ending this way

Just so confused about it

Feeling the blues about it

I just can't do without ya

Tell me is this fair?'

In the time immediately following our break up I could hardly believe it. I was shocked at the sudden finality of it all. In all honesty I should have known of his flighty personality. His inability to stay with only one person, it probably comes with being an air bender. I was too down to earth, too practical to hold his interest for long.

'Is this the way it's really going down?

Is this how we say goodbye?

Should've known better when you came around

That you were gonna make me cry

It's breaking my heart to watch you run around

'Cause I know that you're living a lie

That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find…'

They say that you never forget your first love, maybe that's what Aang was destined to be for me, my first love. Or if nothing else the first guy to break my heart. In a slightly mean, vengeful way, I hope that Toph breaks his heart just so he knows what it feels like.

'What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Come all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around

What goes around, goes around, goes around

Comes all the way back around'


I remember everything he ever said to me. The promises he made, the ones he never kept. I remember when he told me he was moving on with his life. He told me that I should move on too. He even had the gall to suggest Jet as my next boyfriend.

The worst part was that I was ready to spend eternity with him. I thought that it was going to be the two of us together, forever. Apparently he didn't feel the same.


'Now girl, I remember everything that you claimed
You said that you were moving on now
And maybe I should do the same
Funny thing about that is
I was ready to give you my name
Thought it was me and you, babe
And now, it's all just a shame
And I guess I was wrong'

In hours immediately following our breakup, I was in shock I didn't want to believe that it was really over. I felt physically sick to my stomach. I agonized over what went wrong. I kept asking myself if it was something that I'd done. Eventually I was struck with the injustice of it all. That fate was cruel and that it wasn't fair, that he'd found someone new, while I was left alone.


'Don't want to think about it
Don't want to talk about it
I'm just so sick about it
Can't believe it's ending this way
Just so confused about it
Feeling the blues about it
I just can't do without ya
Can you tell me is this fair?'

Perhaps the element that bothered me the most was the fact that he was having an affair with someone else while we were together. That I was such a bad girlfriend that he had to have another girlfriend on the side. I cried many nights into my pillow, trying to figure that out. Sokka said not to worry about it, that Karma has a way of straightening things out. I really hope that he's right.


'Is this the way it's really going down?
Is this how we say goodbye?
Should've known better when you came around (should've known better that you were gonna make me cry)
That you were going to make me cry
Now it's breaking my heart to watch you run around
'Cause I know that you're living a lie
That's okay baby 'cause in time you will find

What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around
What goes around, goes around, goes around
Comes all the way back around'

I learned a secret last night. I was out looking for wood when I heard two voices out in the forest. I crept closer trying to figure out who they belonged too. Imagine my surprise when I discovered Sokka ant Toph together! They were whispering words of endearment to each other, punctuated by kisses. I stumbled back in shock. Did Aang know about this?

'Let me paint this picture for you, baby

You spend your nights alone

And he never comes home

And every time you call him

All you get's a busy tone

I heard you found out

That he's doing to you

What you did to me

Ain't that the way it goes'

Turns out Aang did know. For when I got back to camp I discovered him crying. I found it difficult to have sympathy for Aang. In my opinion he was getting what he deserved. I guess Sokka was right Karma does even things out.

'When you cheated girl

My heart bleeded girl

So it goes without saying that you left me feeling hurt

Just a classic case

A scenario

Tale as old as time

Girl you got what you deserved'

The most shocking things was that Aang had the nerve to think that we could pick up where we left off. As if nothing had happened between us. I grew angry at his assumption that we could pick up right where we had left off. Instead of sympathy he was now on the receiving end of my wrath. I told him on no uncertain terms would be ever get back together. That he threw away any chance he ever had with me when he cheated on me.

'And now you want somebody
To cure the lonely nights
You wish you had somebody
That could come and make it right

But girl I ain't somebody with a lot of sympathy
You'll see

(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey
(What goes around comes back around)
I thought I told ya, hey

See?
You should've listened to me, baby
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Because
(What goes around comes back around.')

As I looked at his face I felt the overwhelming desire to laugh. Giving into temptation I let the laughter break free. I was still laughing as I turned and walked away; walked away towards a pair of golden eyes.
