Aang pulled up next to Katara's house and saw her sitting on the curb. He honked the horn making Katara flinch. She got up and got in Aang's car. "Thanks for coming to get me." Katara said giving Aang a kiss on the cheek. "No problem. Now where are we going?" Aang asked. "Your house." Katara said getting buckled. "M-my house? B-but why?" Aang askes panicking a little bit. "Oh I'm sorry is it not a good time?" Katara asked. Aang nervously chuckled. "Oh no no it's totally fine." Aang said. "Shit Zhao is at home." Aang thought to himself. He then hit the gas and they were off.

Aang pulled the car into the parking lot and parked it. He turned the car off and got out the car. Katara got out and walked with Aang to the door. Katara was about to walk in but Aang stopped her. "I'm just letting you know, Zhao, the man I live with is a total dick. He's a gambler and I hate him so much, but I'm also thankful because without him I would still be in foster care." Aang explained and Katara nodded. Aang opened the door and saw a tables of men playing cards. The air was full of cigarette smoke, and there were girls walking around giving people drinks in little black dresses. Aang looked at Katara. "I'm so sorry." He said to her. She smiled. "Don't worry your fine." Just then Zhao came walking up to the two, he was clearly drunk. He patted Aang on that back while laughing. "Aang im so proud of you! Your just like me when I was in high school! Bringing the ladies to the house for a little 'game' I love it! Well done Aang. You will be rewarded tomorrow, but only if u hear her screaming Like the last one!" Zhao then walked away laughing. Katara was a little ticked off by what Zhao had said but she didn't let it get to her. "That was in the past. Aang's different now, he wouldn't cheat on me. Wait we aren't even dating, he could have been a girl in his bed last night! Is he even planning to ask me out? Or just take me on dates?" Katara was snapped out of her thoughts by Aang yelling her name. "KATARA!" Aang yelled snapping his fingers I'm front of her face. Katara flinched. "W-wha? What? What's wrong?" Katara asked confused. Aang chuckled. "Come on let's go to my room." Katara was still a little angry at Aang for something she wasn't even sure he did but I'm her mind it made sense. "He just said like the last one. He must of had some girl over! But who? I'm not going into that room where that slut was!" Katara thought to herself. Aang grabbed her hand to pull her upstairs but Katara snatched it away. "No I'm staying down here. I don't want to go to your room I don't know what or WHOS been in there in the last 24 hours. I'm staying down here." Katara said crossing her arms. "Katara I promise Zhao is just a dick and thinks that I'm gonna smash every girl I'm seen with. But I promise ever since I met you there has been no girl in my room but you." Aang said lightly grabbing her hand. Katara sighed. "Okay I'm sorry for snapping at you. I was just overthinking."

Katara and Aang sat down on his bed. "Now what happened that you needed me to pick you up?" Aang asked. "My stupid ass father brought some woman to the house and she went ordering me and Sokka around like she owned the place or something." Katara said. "Wait wait wait." Katara looked at Aang confused. "What? What's wrong?" "Why was Sokka at your house?" Aang asked. "What do you mean why was he at my house he lives there." Katara said. "Why does he live with you? I don't really like that." Aang said. Katara stated laughing. "What's so funny?" Aang asked a little jealous. "Y-YOU DONT KNOW?!" Katara yelled. "Know what?" Aang asked. "SOKKA IS MY BROTHER!" Katara yelled still laughing. Aang's eyes widened. "Ooooohhh that makes a lot of sense." Aang thought to himself then started laughing with Katara. "We have known each other for a while and you didn't know that Sokka was my brother?" Katata asked. "Well I don't know he could have just been another best friend like Haru." Aang said. Katara stopped laughing. "Me and Haru aren't friends anymore." Katara said. Aang was extremely happy but pretended to be sad for her. "Oh no what happened?" Aang asked. Katara looked into his eyes. "Cut the crap Aang I know your happy about it." Katara said. Aang couldn't hide his smile. "Okay yeah maybe I'm a little happy about it but can you blame me? It's only a matter of time till he goes pinning you to the wall one night and saying he's in love with you!" Aang laughed. Katara lightly laughed. "That's actually exactly what he did." Katara said calmly. Aang immediately stopped laughing. "Excuse me?" Aang asked. "Yeah that's what he did and I told him that he should go back home but he told his dad that he was staying at my house for the rest of the year. I was going to kick him out but then I remembered that if I did he could go to the po-" Katara cut herself off. "Shit I almost said it gotta be more careful." Katara thought. Aang was fuming. "I can help you kick him out!" Aang said angrily. "NO!" Katara cleared her throat. "I-I mean no. He has some black mail on me and if I kick him out he could let it out." Katara said. Aang laughed. "Katara whatever he has on you I'm sure it's not that bad. Your probably just overthinking it. I'm going to have a talk with him." Aang said. "No! You don't understand I did something like really really bad! And if he tells people about it my whole life could be ruined!" Katara yelled. "Lemme guess, it's nudes." Aang said leaning back on his bed frame. "W-what?! No! It's worse than that!" "A sex tape." Katara face palmed. "I'm a virgin! I can't make that! And why would you even think of any of that stuff. Anyways it's really bad. And we can't do anything about it." Aang sat up getting a little frustrated. "Why Katara? I don't like him living with you." Aang said. "Why do you care you never asked me out anyways! We went on one date and then that's it!" Katara stood up. "What even are we?!" Katara yelled. Aang looked down at his carpet. "I don't know what we are. But I know we're more than friends." Aang said. "So do you want to be my boyfriend or do you not want to?!" Katara asked. "I do want to but I can't!" Aang yelled. "That makes no sense if you want to date me do it! Why can't you?!" Katara yelled. "Why can't you just kick Haru out?!" Aang yelled. "I told you he has black mail on me! Now stop changing the subject! If you want to be with me just be with me!" Katara yelled. "I can't be with you! I told you that!" "Why not?!" "Tell me why you can't kick out Haru and then maybe I'll tell you!" Katara turned around so her back was facing Aang. "I can't tell you what I did..." Katara said calmly. "Why?! Why can't you tell me?!" Aang asked. Katara's eyes started to water. She turned at faces Aang. She looked him in the eye. "Because what I did would affect you too. And I know it will hurt you." Aang walked up to Katara and hugged her. "You can tell me." "No I can't you will hate me." Katara said. "Katara I know you whatever you did couldn't have been that bad." Katara pulled away. "Oh but it is that bad. I've done worse than you think Aang." Katara said. Aang was curious to know what Katara thought was so horrible. He was so sure she was going to say something like she broke someones arm or something. "What did you do Katara?" Aang said relaxing agains his bed frame. Katara stood up right in front of him. She took a deep breath. "I ki-"

Sokka, Haru, Hakoda, and Malina were all standing around the table. "WHY THE HELL WOULD YOU PROPOSE TO THIS WOMAN?! HOW MUCH YOU WANNA BET YOUVE ONLY KNOWN HER FOR 4 HOURS?!" Sokka screamed. "Alright calm down son. It's been 7 hours by the way. But I can just feel it Malina is the one." Hakoda said. Malina smiled at Sokka. "I know I might have come off as rude when I first got here, but I didn't mean to, I was just a big triggered when I had walked in the house and was immediately getting yelled at and I haven't said a word yet." Malina said. "Well I definitely don't like you! You hurt Katara!" Haru yelled. "Aw are you Katara's boyfriend? That's so sweet she's lucky to have such a supportive boyfriend even when she's not around." Malina said. "Hakoda she need a to go. I actually don't give two shits who your marrying but you can't just kick us out, did we move here so you could have a better relationship with us? So you could be better for us? Didn't you want to spend time with us?!" Sokka yelled. "I DID EVERYTHING FOR YOU AND KATARA! I TRIED TO HAVE A BOND WITH YOU TWO AND YOU GUYS WOULDNT COOPERATE! IM NOT GOING TO CHASE YOU TWO AROUND FOR THE REST OF MY LIFE! I HAVE A LIFE TOO! NOW SINCE YOUR BEING RUDE GO UPSTAIRS AND PACK YOU AND YOUR SISTERS THINGS! SINCE YOU ARE BOTH UNGRATEFUL BRATS YOU CAN GO FIGURE OUT YOUR LIVING SITUATIONS ON YOUR OWN!" Sokka's eyes watered. "FUCK YOU! YOUR THE MOST HORRIBLE PERSON ALIVE!" Sokka screamed his voice cracking throughout the sentence. Sokka ran upstairs and started packing him and Katara's things. He called Katara.

Katara was cut off by her phone ringing. She grabbed it and saw it was Sokka.

Call

Katara: sokka are you okay what's wrong?
Sokka: Katara Hakoda's officially gone insane. You know for a while I thought maybe we might be able to fix our relationship with him but he just started gambling again. And now this woman is apparently more important than me.

Sokka finally for the first time in forever, Let his emotions out. He cried.

Hearing Sokka cry was the most heartbreaking sound for Katara. She had only ever seen him cry once and that was when their mother was being murdered. Katara couldn't control it and stayed to cry along with him. Aang sat up noticing that Katara was crying.

Sokka: he's kicking us out Katara. We don't have anywhere to go. Could you come and see if you could talk to him?
Katara: yeah of course.

Katata hung up the phone. "I have to go home. And I want you to drop me off then leave. I don't want you seeing what's about to go down because it's not going to be pretty. Aang nodded and took Katara out the door and into the car. Once they were buckled up he started driving to Katara's house.
