𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗽𝘁𝗲𝗿 𝟭𝟰: 𝗖𝗼𝗻𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻

Lo'ak arrived at his pod with his vision blurry. He looked up to see if anyone was there and thankfully no one was. He didn't want anyone to see him like this and know that he was heartbroken. Even though him and Aila weren't in a official relationship he still felt like he just lost his other half. Even after just a few days of them being "together" he still felt as if he lost someone he couldn't replace.

He went into the room with his and Neteyam's bed and laid down. He felt the tears fall down his cheek and over his nose as he curled up on his side into a fetal position. He had slept next to Aila the past few nights and he already missed her warmth.

Nobody knew about him and Aila, but Neteyam and Aonung had seen them coming back from their date and Aonung had saw them sleeping in each other's arms, but nobody knew what they said on their date and what happened the night the before.

Lo'ak felt sad and hurt. He felt betrayed but he also felt something that he didn't want to feel. He felt anger and resentment towards her. He knew that it was forbidden for them to be together but if Aila really wanted them to be together then why didn't she at least try and make it work.

As for Aila, she was still sitting on the tree. She couldn't move. She was hurt by how Lo'ak just walked away without even fighting for her. Did he really see her? She missed his warm embrace and just being in his presence. How whenever she saw him, her face lit up and every ounce of pain, confusion, and hurt went away when she was with him.

She couldn't help but think of the night of their date. How she felt so peaceful that night looking up at the sky with him. How he could make her laugh without even trying. How his lips felt against hers and his eyes. She loved his eyes, how they were a perfect golden yellow and how they glistened under the moonlight.

She missed everything about him. How he makes her feel. How she gets butterflies every time he touches her. How she couldn't stop thinking about him since the night he kissed her.

Aila didn't know what to do. She knew it was forbidden but she couldn't help but want to be with Lo'ak all the time. She wanted to break the rules for him, but she was too scared. She couldn't betray her people; she was supposed to be the next Tsahik.

Aila's cheeks were soaked with tears as they were falling down to her chest. She just wanted to scream. How could she mess things up in one single sentence. She should have thought about it before letting her feelings overwhelm her thoughts. How could she be so stupid to let her feelings for Lo'ak cloud her thoughts.

She only knew him for what? A month, and he had already become her main priority. Spending time with him was all that mattered to her for three weeks. She thought about how she felt when Lo'ak was unconscious and how she was a wreck for two long days before he woke up. She then remembered that she hadn't talked to her older brother in a couple days and how worried he must be.

She had been sitting thinking about everything that had happened that she ended up crying herself to sleep, her thoughts being overwhelmed with her feelings and her heart being broken.

The sun glistened into the Sully family hut and hit Lo'ak's face. He groaned at the brightness and rubbed his eyes trying to adjust to the light. He instinctively got up and saw that his brother was already out of bed.

He walked out to where he heard his family talking while eating breakfast. Neteyam waved him over while patting a seat beside him, implying for Lo'ak to sit beside him. Lo'ak realized that he had been so busy spending time with Aila that he never had eaten breakfast with his family. So, he sat down and had a little grin plastered on his face as he grabbed the fruit from the center of the table.
