I'm so sorry! I just got my new battery for the laptop. This chapter may be a little shorter than the others, but it's something.

Hearts on Fire
chapter fifteen: Accept them
Korra's P.O.V
"But...Why?" Asami asks
"Asami, these people dirty our streets. They bring our society down to nothing. This common trash, Asami, I did not send you to that school to be friends. I sent you in hopes that you would understand how much better we are!" Her father shouts
"That makes no sense!" Asami yells
"Darling, you have to understand, These people are not worth our time." he says softer, moving closer to Asami
She backs away and looks at her father as if he were unrecognizable.
"They're my friends, father. I wouldn't trade them for anything."
Her father's face contorts in anger. "They are not welcome here!"
"You can't treat them this way!"
Mako, Bolin and I can only stand there, speechless. Watching the whole thing unfold.
"I can treat them how ever I please Asami! You are not to see these people again! I won't allow it! You live under my roof and you will do as I say!"
He turns to mako, Bolin and I. "GET OUT OF MY HOME!" He yells at us
"Dad!"
"It's okay Asami." I give her a small reassuring smile
"Yeah Asami. We don't want to cause anymore trouble." Bolin says sadly
"Say goodbye and go to your room Asami." Hiroshi says
Hiroshi walks away from us and we're left alone in the hallway. We all stand there quietly, not knowing how to take what just happened.
I inhale deeply and hug Asami. A sob escapes her and she hugs me back. She sniffles a few times before pulling away.
"Bye." I say quietly
"Bye..." she says and slowly closes the door.
I decided to stay with Mako and Bolin tonight. The rest of the day was quiet, and there were a few times I wanted to call Asami, only to remember that I couldn't. There is a knock on the door and I look up to see Mako and Bolin standing in the doorway.
"Are you okay?" Mako asks as he and Bo walk in and sit next to me.
"I'm fine. What about you two?"
"Well I'm bummed out." Bolin says as he flops back on my bed
"It'll be okay Bo." I say and he gives me a small smile
"I'm gonna go start dinner."
Mako goes down stairs. Bolin gets up and decides to go and wash up before dinner. I walk into the kitchen and sit on the counter.
"Do you need any help?" I ask
"No."
I shrug my shoulders. I'm about to hop down off the counter when he turns to speak to me again.
"Are things getting better at home?"
"I'm staying here tonight aren't I." I say "It's nothing I can't handle for a little while longer. My birthday is only two weeks away."
"You know, you can move in if you wanted to."
A small smile appears on my face. "Afraid once I turn 18 I'll move as far away from here as I can and you won't see me again?"
"Actually, Bo would be devastated." he says turning back to the food he's preparing.
I let out a giggle. "So are you saying you wouldn't miss me at all?"
"I could deal with the peace and quiet."
"Oh please! You would be bored out of you mind without me." We both laugh
The doorbell rings and I go answer it. I gasp when I see Asami standing at the door with travel bags behind her.
"Who is it?" Mako asks as he walks up behind me "Asami?"
Asami walks in pulling the bags with her. She closes the door behind her.
"What are you doing here?" I ask
"I told my father that I wouldn't stop being friends with you guys and that I accept you as my friends. You're no different than me. He told me that if i was living with him, I would do what I was told...So I told him I was leaving. He disowned me after that. I packed all my clothes and came here. It was all I can think of. So can I stay here?"
"Yeah. I don't see why not."
We help Asami move all of her stuff into the other bedroom next to the one I'm staying in.
"I'm sorry that this happened to you Asami." I say
"It's fine. Now I get to spend more time with my best friends." she says as she gives me a hug
Bolin bounces into the room. "Mako says to come down stairs for dinner."
"Oh, Thank God! I'm starving!" Asami yells as we walk down the stairs.
Okay, so this isn't my best chapter and it's not what I originally wanted to write. My first idea flew right out the window. Literally! I almost cried when my brother rolled down the window and what I wrote flew down the interstate. So...I'm so so so so so so so soooooooooooooo sorry!
