It had been three days. Bolin said give him three days and she did. Korra couldn't take it. Each day went by slowly and painfully. Mako still sat by Asami and avoided her every way possible. Korra was saddened and hurt that Mako was acting so childish. It was too much pain to cope with.
At the dinner table Mako kept whispering in Asami's ear never once glancing at Korra. Bolin saw the hurt look on Korra's face and kept trying to make her smile by telling her jokes. Korra didn't even listen. Instead her focus was on Mako. She hoped that maybe if she stared at him long enough he would look at her and see that she's upset. But he never did. Korra slammed her fist on the table and in return the room fell silent and she earned the attention of everyone in the room, even Mako's. She stared into his eyes and he stared back but then looked away. Before the tears fell, she got up and left. Everyone watched her go. After she disappeared down the hall everyone began talking again. Bolin looked at Mako who in surprise was looking at him.
"Outside. Now."
Bolin got up and left heading outside the door with Mako following close behind. Bolin made sure he walked out far enough so no one would hear him.
"Mako what's going on?"
"What do you mean?"
"Between you and Korra?"
"Nothing."
"Mako stop playing dumb. I know Korra is pregnant and I know you have abandoned her. Why?"
"Look Bolin I'm just not ready to be-"
"A father? Well Korra's not ready to be a mother! But you two were intimate and look what happened!"
"Bolin I don't need this right now."
Mako started walking back to the door.
"But you do! You need to take responsibility and help Korra. Grow up Mako. Since when did I become the big brother?"
Mako just tuned him out and went to his room. He didn't need this right now.
…...
It was late. The sun had set and everyone should be asleep. Korra hadn't talked to Bolin or seen anyone since dinner. She didn't know what happened after she left. All she knew was that she was feeling so alone. She couldn't do this anymore.
Korra got out of bed and went quietly down the hall and out out the door. She walked to the edge of the Island where there was a cliff above the water. She sat there and realized her and the baby shouldn't live in pain, in sadness, in regret. So she was going to end it, right here right now.
Standing on the edge of the cliff she looked down. The waves were rushing against the rocks. How nice it would be to be at peace in her natural element. Korra closed her eyes and leaned forward. She was just about to fall when she felt someone grab her and pull her back. The person laid her on the ground and she opened her eyes. She stared into his amber eyes and he stared back.
"Mako..."
"Korra I'm sorry. I didn't mean to abandon you but I just wasn't ready. I was scared and stupid. I'm sorry. But you didn't need to do that. You know I love you and that I would come back."
"I know. But I was so sad and felt so much regret so I thought that if we died, we wouldn't have to live in pain."
"But you failed to remember that everyone else here would. The world needs you. We need you. I need you."
Korra stood up and hugged Mako. He held her tightly in his arms as the wind blew. Korra wondered what made him come to his senses but already knew it was Bolin. Aang was right he was persuasive. She was better now that Mako was here. He could help her in a way no one else could.
"Soo..."
"Sooo what?"
"You won't leave again?"
"No I'm staying and never leaving again. I promise."
