I've always hated you

Getting away

Azula walked out of the building and joined Ozai in the car.
"So, how was it?" He asked
"It was fine" she said
"Ok, well it was your last one anyways"
"Um actually, I don't want to stop... you can schedule another one..."
"Wait really? What made you change your mind?"
"Um I don't want to say... but you can schedule another one"
"That's great to hear Azula, I'm glad you're continuing"
"Mhm, I'll continue trying..."
"I'm very proud of you for that. Come on, let's go home now"
"Oh actually can you drop me off at Sokka's house? I told him I'd come over"
"Oh well, ok then. Just don't get home too late and text me if you need a ride"

That was a lie, she didn't tell Sokka she was coming over, she just didn't want to go home and see her mother. Not after she cried over her. She wanted to try to possibly mend their relationship but... just not now. When she was ready.

Ozai dropped her off at Sokka's house and she rang his doorbell. The door opened and she was greeted by Katara.

"Oh... Sokka! Come here!" She yelled when she opened the door.
"Why?!" Azula heard Sokka yell from inside the house.
"Because your girlfriend is here! Can you just come?!"
"Really?! Ok, I'm coming" he said and Azula heard footsteps coming down stairs and was then was greeted by Sokka.

"Hey Azula, what are you doing here?"
"Um just wanted to come by, I'll explain... if I can come in that is"
"Oh yeah of course, come in" he says, moving out of the way so she could enter.

"Is your dad here too?" Azula asks as she walks in.
"Nope, just me and my sister"
"Um just because dad isn't here, doesn't mean you two get to do weird things" interjected Katara
"We won't, don't worry about it" Azula responded and started following Sokka up to his room.

"So what made you want to come over?" Sokka asked her and sat his bed.
"Um well I had a therapy session today and uh, a lot of things happened... I talked about my mom and started crying..."
"Oh no, are you ok now?"
"Yeah I'm ok, I just didn't want to go home and see my mother just now"
"Yeah I get it. You can stay here as long as you want" he says and puts his arm around her and pulls her close.
"Thank you Sokka. How about we watch a movie or something?"
"Good idea" Sokka says and grabs his old laptop and tries to find a movie for them to watch

"Ugh this thing is so slow!" Sokka exclaims when the website wasn't loading.
"Is it your wifi or something?"
"No, it's this stupid old laptop. It's a piece of junk"
"Why don't you just buy a new one?"
"Um well because laptops are pretty expensive... so yeah, I'll just tough it out with this one"
"Oh well I can just buy you one then"
"What?! No no no, don't buy me a laptop"
"Why not? I mean it's your birthday next week, it can be your gift"
"Azula no, they're expensive"
"Don't worry, it's nothing. Besides, it'll make you happy"
"Well yeah but I don't want you to keep buying me expensive gifts... like your Christmas gifts were amazing but it probably costed a lot"
"Oh don't even worry about it, it's nothing"
"Maybe but I still feel bad that you buy me all these expensive gifts and I can't buy you anything that extravagant"
"Oh it's ok, don't worry about that. Trust me, I have plenty of extravagant stuff, I don't need anymore. I love cute little gifts like the necklace you got me. Look, I'm still wearing it" she says as she pulls down the collar of her shirt to reveal the necklace Sokka got her on Christmas.
"Aw really? I'm so happy you liked it" it made him really happy that she liked his gift that much.
"I love it. Come on, the movie finally loaded, let's watch it"
"Ok great" Sokka said after playing the movie and moving closer to her to cuddle.

Ozai drove her home around 3 hours later. She didn't really want to go home because she didn't really want to face Ursa. Unfortunately for her, she was right on the couch when she got home.

"We're back" said Ozai. "Oh I forgot to tell you that Azula decided to continue her appointments"
"Oh really? How come?" Ursa asked
"I don't know, she didn't say. How come you chose to continue?"
"Um well because I just did" said Azula
"Well I think that was the right choice" said Ozai
"Yeah I think so too. I just hope you start taking it more seriously" said Ursa
"Yeah yeah, I will"
"Good. It'll do you some good if you actually try to put in some effort"
"I know... I'm just gonna go upstairs now" Azula said before leaving up to go to her room. She didn't really feel like talking anymore, she wanted to be alone for now.

She didn't want to think of the therapy or of her mother or anything like that. She just wanted to think of anything else for once. She feels like that's what's been occupying her mind the most and she just wanted to get away from it all at the moment.

To take her mind off of it, she decided to think about something funner. Something that makes her happy to think about: Her plans for Sokka's birthday next week.
