A/N a lot happens in this chapter so...you should probably be awake and alert and pay attention!! also, WARNING KATAANG FANS MAY NOT LIKE SO WATCH OUT!!
Chapter 7: The break up or break up's
Today I had to face Aang. I liked someone else and was dating the one I didn't like. For the millionth time I thought, this is wrong. You're wrong Katara. Break up with Aang and be with Zuko. You'll be happy and not confused.
Aang had gotten back from his Avatar training last night so he would still be in his room.
When I got there I took a deep breath. Relax Katara. You're doing the right thing. Let him down gently.
I thought these re-assuring words to help myself and surprisingly, for once, my thoughts actually made me feel better.
Another deep breath seeped past my lips and I slowly lifted my hand up and gently knocked on the door and quietly said, "Aang? I need to talk to you."
And then, like magic, the door flung open and Aang was shirtless, but had pants on, relaxing on his bed.
"Hey Kat." he smirked. Ever since we started dating he started calling me Kat.
"Um…hi." I could hear the major nervousness in my voice.
"You ok?" He asked, concerned.
"Well Aang…I don't think I love you as much as I thought I did…you're a great guy and I know you love me but a relationship can only be real if you both love each other…I'm so sorry Aang."
I stared at the floor the whole time I was talking. I peeked at him and surprisingly he seemed to remain calm.
"Katara, I'm glad you told me that. You're right, a relationship isn't real unless you both love each other and I don't want to force you to be with me just because I love you. Don't get me wrong this upsets me, a lot but I'm glad you were truthful."
He forced a smile but it wasn't enough to hide he sadness in his eyes.
"But, I can tell there's another reason of why you're breaking up with me…can I know why?"
"Well…" I played with my fingers, still staring at the floor.
"I like someone else and I think he likes me too." I blushed and smiled a little at the thought of Zuko.
"Oh…well I think I might like someone else too."
"Really?" I perked up a little at least he wouldn't be totally alone and depressed.
"Yeah, not as much as I love you though." The slight perky-ness went away.
"And I won't tell you unless you tell me who you like." He challenged me. I looked up.
"I guess you'll have to wait then." I snapped but I smirked too. That seemed kind of mean, I know, but I wasn't really thinking. I turned about to walk away.
"Katara?" He asked right before I left.
"Yeah Aang?"
"Can you promise me we'll still be great friends?"
"Of course!" I smiled at him. Then I walked out his room and out of a whole different life and into a new one.
As I walked down the hall, I heard yelling.
"HOW COULD YOU DO THIS TO ME ZUKO?!" I could tell it was Mai. I could also tell that Zuko just broke it off with her.
"Mai! I already told you!! I love her not you! I'm sorry but I just don't love you anymore. Besides I know she cares about me but you, you just love the perks to dating to the fire lord! That's all you want to do is order around MY servants to get what you want! She wouldn't do that! She's compassionate and cares deeply about me!"
"How do you know that?! Has she told you that?!"
"No…but I don't its true!"
My heart pounded. He had to be talking about me. And something happened that proved it. As Mai stormed off she spotted me.
"YOU! YOU RUINED MY RELATIOSHIP!" She yelled, very angrily at me.
My eyes widened in terror. This was the first time I had been deathly afraid of Mai. She had her daggers but I could easily stop them if I needed but right now I had no water.
"YOU'LL BE SORRY!" She shouted as she pulled out a very pointy, scary- looking dagger.
