Hey everyone! I am so so so so sorry for the late update, but I was having a hard time writing this.
What did you guys think of the Finale? I liked it! :) Anywho, here it is... Please review and enjoy!
Let Me Go and Don't Try to Fix Me
"Don't try to fix me, I'm not broken
Hello I am the lie living for you so you can hide"
Chapter Four: Lost Pain
"One day I'm gonna forget your name,
And one sweet day,
you're gonna drown in my lost pain"
Five weeks later,
Air Temple Island
Korra's Room:
Korra lifted her pale blue top partway up her stomach. Her mocha-colored hands caressed her belly and a small baby bump. She was eight weeks along in her pregnancy. The thought of the unborn child made Korra grin, even though the child would change everything in her life.
Over the last week, Korra had been distancing herself from her friends and spending more time with Tenzin and Pema, learning how to take care of a child by practicing with Rohan. Bolin was the first to find out something was wrong, he asked why Korra was gone she often, she said she had "Avatar Duties". When Bolin said he felt another heartbeat (Lin Beifong was teaching Bolin the finer parts of Earthbending.) in the room, Korra was the first to wipe the thought away; she claimed that there was a mouse in the room. Asami was also noticing things. Asami asked why Korra was feasting on Flame's superbly-spicy noddles piled high on surged honey white-bread. A dish that Korra would never ever touch before.
Sighing, Korra pulled her top back down and opened her bedroom door. She stepped out the door and walked swiftly to the lounge room. She soon discovered the rest of 'Team Avatar' seated on the plush sofas. Asami looked up at Korra and with a cheery tone she said,
"There you are, we were waiting for you. Ready?" Asami was referring to the new a new cafe/diner that had just opened up in wake of Amon's defeat. It was called The Red Panda Lilly, and served delicious soups and dumplings. Korra shifted her eyes to the right, they were fixated on the midnight black hair of Mako's head. Mako had not even moved to glance at Korra and he was sitting next to Asami like always; he ignored Korra.
"Yeah, let's go." Korra answered and hoped her friends wouldn't kill her later. They were almost out of the house when Korra saw Tenzin in a hallway. Korra started walking slower and let her friends pass her then, she nodded to him, a signal to tell him that she would say it.
Republic City
The Red Panda Lilly:
The Red Panda Lilly was a quite, little brunch cafe/diner, so one can imagine the shock when the Avatar and her friend came in. Thankfully, not many people were in it, Korra was the most relived at that fact. The walls were a pale tan and covered with all sorts of beautiful paintings. They all went up to the counter top to order, after ordering they all found a booth to sit. Korra (who sat on the end) wasn't really playing any attention to the meal or the conversation. She was worried and frankly, a bit scared about what would happen.
"Hey Kor, what do you want for desert?" Bolin asked, interrupting her thoughts.
"What? Oh, um I'll," her eyes glanced to the menu; she was aware of all the eyes on her, "I'll have... the er, I'll take vanilla ice-cream topped with chopped fruits and nuts and extra chocolate and caramel on top. Oh and lots and lots of cookie crumbs!" She said the last part a little to excitedly, but who was she to blame? It wasn't her fault that her baby liked cookies! "Might as well call him/her Cookie Monster" Korra had cravings for cookies for the past weeks. Pema assured Korra it was normal, but was it normal to eat Grand-Paku's Gingerbread with Chocolate Chips at two in the morning? Korra didn't think so.
"Ahh!" Korra yelped quietly as a great pain in her head hit her. She had been having many headaches, but none hurt as much as this. "Hey Bo," Bolin looked up at her, "Can you order for me? My head hurts and I'm going to get some air." She got up, out of her seat; putting on her parka
"Sure Kor!" He said happily, but then his eyes grew concerned, "Are you all right? You've been—''
"I'm fine!" Korra said sharply, but then immediately changed her tone. "Sorry. It's just... well. You'll see." The Avatar was about to turn away when the Earthbender pulled her into a hug and said (grinning widely),
"Well Kor, you better tell me, after all I was you're first friend here!"
"Sure Bo, don't worry I'm going to tell you guys," Korra motioned to their group, "after dessert."
"Okay, now, I gotta order." He waved off to her and Korra felt a pang of sadness as she walked out the door. Outside Korra took a deep breathe and rubbed her temples as she leaned on the window of the cafe. She failed to hear the door open and footsteps pad toward her.
"Hey Korra, we got the dessert... Are you okay?" Asami asked, her face concerned. Korra didn't notice Asami until she spoke, after recovering from the shock Korra answered,
"Yeah, I've just got a really bad headache. That's all. Thanks though." Korra smiled slightly at the end and in her head she said, Asami, I am so, so sorry. If you ever find out, I just want you to know that I never wanted this to happen." At that moment, Korra wished everyone could red her mind. So she wouldn't feel so bad, so all the guilt would stop weighing her down.
"Okay." Asami replied, then after a moment she spoke again, "Hey did you that Mako ordered almost the same thing as you? Yeah, it's weird. Although, Mako's didn't have nuts and fruits. But he really loves chocolate and caramel with cookies crumbs on his ice-cream."
"Oh yeah that really is odd." Korra said. "Spirits! No wonder I'm craving cookies so much. I just hope that the baby doesn't look like Mako too!"
"Are you going to come in?" The Sato heiress asked, her gloved hand holding the door open.
"Yeah, I'll be in a sec'." Korra said to her. Asami nodded in reply and stepped in. "Now or never, Just get it over with." She sighed and took a deep breath, an effort to calm herself. "Please, please just let this work. Please Spirit, let this go well."
As soon as Korra was done with her dessert, she spoke up,
"Guys, I'm—
Republic City
The Red Panda Lilly
Mako:
"—Leaving Republic City in five days." Korra finished. Mako struggled to keep his face indifferent, her words chilled him to the bone. It wouldn't be the same with out Korra. He couldn't imagine life without her, and now She was leaving. Five days and Mako would, most likely, never see her again. His troubled mind wondered to a conversation her had with Korra eight weeks ago...
" …I know, we didn't even know each other then. And now, I can't imagine my life without you in it." Mako finished, he was about to open his mouth to say more when Korra interrupted him.
"Mako this has to stop." She said, her eyes cold and hard; devoid of the usual warmth and happiness.
"What does?" he asked stupidly. Mako already knew the answer.
Korra looked slightly mad and sad. "THIS, us." She gestured her hand between them. "Mako this... it just isn't right. You have a girlfriend and she needs your support. This. Has. To. Stop."
"Why?" Suddenly right at this moment Mako would do anything for Korra. He wanted to be with her, to just kiss her. He's leaning forward, inching his head closer to hers and then, Korra's hands push him away from her.
"Korra... I—''
"Mako" she looks up, staring hard into his amber eyes, "Just go." In a softer tone she adds, "Please, Mako just think this through." As Mako walks away, he swore to the Spirits that he saw a tear roll down her cheek.
Mako barely listens to the conversation. He hears little snippets; "Tenzin helped... three nice apartments... Lin wants...… Bolin and Asami... work at police... Mako." His head snaps up as he hears his name.
"Yes?" as soon as the words roll out of his mouth, he knew they were harsh and mean.
"Tenzin manged to promote you at the Power Plant that you work at. You got a raise."
"Oh. Give him my thanks." Mako says, really thankful to her. She nods and continues to talk to Bolin and Asami. "That was the only conversation we've had in weeks." Mako missed the sound of her voice and wondered why he has not yet made things right between them. But he knew one thing: he was slowly drowning in all the pain hat he had given Korra.
So there it is! I kinda had to work around some stuff, but I think I made it work! ;)
Btw, what do you guys think of the following pairings:
MakoxKorra
SokkaxSuki
AangxKatara... Tell me your opinions on them!
The next chapter will be up next week! Please Review, because every time you don't review, Korra has to watch Mako and Asami makeout. Help her, please!
Replies to the Reviews!
Thank you all for reviewing, you have helped me write this chapter!:) :)
sunayna4sho: Thank you! :)
Be953: Thanks! Sorry about the late update!
Suyi :Sorry, I just had a hard time pacing the plot and putting it together. But this chapter long.
Jaguar Jenny:I didn't. I just got all these spoilers from tumbler and changed the name. It is odd though, my name for the baby was similar to the baby's real name. (Locan to Rohan)
RealMcCoy16: Thanks! I hope that you liked this chapter!
Gwen : Thank you so much for you review. It gave me a TON of new ideas. ( Like when you said "As we saw with Toph regardless of the fact she's blind. I think Bolin should least hear another heartbeat coming when she's about 8 weeks." I wrote that in. Also,"Asami didn't pick it up yet" I started to write that in. "I'm just anxious waiting for a Makkorra talk" I hope that you like the way I wrote it in. It was kind of a talk. Please tell me what you thought of it. "Pretty soon the human race will have no rights!" Lol yes! They tried with SOPA, and it failed, but what if do takeover/Censor the internet? 0.0 If they do, well, they better get ready for a war lead by crazy fangirls. "What does Locen mean, by the way" Actually, I made the name up. I couldn't think of a name, but then I saw a picture of BBC's Sherlock (One of my fav TV shows) and it said Sherlock. I thought, Lok! But then I thought "Locen fits better." And it stuck. Anywho, I hope that you liked this chapter! (Is it okay if I dedicate the next chapter of this story to you?) I'm sorry for the late uodate!

Brittana4ever: Your right. The reason Korra is being all distant is because she doesn't want to hurt people.
Katherine: Mako is starting to feel like an 'ass' at the end of this chapter and he will later on.
silverpedals1402: Thanks! Hope that you like this one! :)
breaking6883 : Thanks! But if you read Slumber, My Darling, you'll see the type of ending my story will have.
Nyla Stilez: Yep, that's what I was going for!
