This is a continuation of the first chapter, heartache. I left that one on a really sad note and I really wanted to finish the second chapter as fast as I could so it is fairly short. This is going to be the last chapter in this little series because I really don't know where I can take it after this. So without further ado, chapter 2 of Borra!

I was replacing the flowers by Korras bed as I looked down at her. She still hasn't woken up since the battle. It has been 3 days, I barley eat, and I blame myself for everything. That camping trip wasn't just supposed to be to take her mind off of everything. I was going to tell her how I really felt about her, and now, I may never get that chance. It is about 2 in the morning. I sit by her bed and hold her hand, laying my head down next to her. I let sleep take over my body. I awake to someone stirring next to me. My head shoots up and I see Korras eyes open. She looks over to me and squeezes my hand

"Hey" She gives me all the smile that she can muster.

I wrap my arms around her and I let tears stream down my face. I am overjoyed that she is FINALLY awake. I hold her in a tight embrace and she tries to return it to the best of your ability. I loosen my embrace and sat up next to her, staring into her deep blue eyes. She looks around her in slight panic.

"What happened? Where am I?"

I look down to my feet, a sinking feeling in my gut, "A member of the Red Lotus attacked us, I - I was helpless to stop him…. He shot you full of lightning and I carried you here after you took him out from the avatar state. You've been out for about 5 days"

"That long?!" She gave me a look of pain.

The air feels thin, I can't help but feel worthless. All I want to do is let out all of my emotion, I think to myself, 'I'm so sorry Korra. I was completely usueless to you, just blow up at me already! You know that its my fault.' My heart crumbled looking at her pained expression.

"Korra I- I am so sorry" I choked back tears but tried my best to look into her eyes, "This is my fault, you could have died and I was helpless to stop it from happening. You have every right to be mad at me, the only thing that I could do was carry your limp body to the hospital…. I'm sorry Korra" I slowly started to get up, at this point, I could feel the tears staining my cheeks. Before I could get up I felt warm arms pull me close.

"Bo, I'm not angry with you." Korra pulled back from the tight embrace while talking, "If anything, I should be thanking you. If you weren't there with me, I would have been dead long ago. Judging from my injuries, I don't imagine that I would have lasted long on my own." She gave me a comforting smile, and I knew that she really meant it. I wiped the tears from my face and gave her a tight hug. I didn't want to let go. While still embracing her, I sighed, "Korra, I need to tell you something."

She pulled back slightly and looked into my eyes, I could see slight confusion and worry in her eyes.

"This whole thing, made me realize even more what I already knew, and I want - no I NEED you to know this too." I didn't break my gaze in her eyes as I spoke.

"Korra, I love you, I love you so much and I don't want to imagine my life without you. Ever since the first time I saw you, I've been in love with you. You are amazing, beautiful you take my breath awa-" I was cut off by her lips pressing against mine. At first, I opened my eyes wide in shock, but then closed my eyes and put her face in my hands, deepening the kiss. My heart rose and I felt sparks flow throughout my body. She pulled back from the kiss and stared into my eyes, giving off a big smile, she wrapped her arms around my neck and leaned in so our faces were inches apart,

"I love you too Bolin" We fell into another passionate kiss. I sat behind her and she leaned on my chest, holding me close. I wrapped my arms around her, held her close and buried my face into her head. I've never felt more safe.
