The Hourglass

Willow and AJ-Chp. 12

I froze. No, no, no, no! I refused to believe that. He could be mistaken right? I mean, if you really think about it, he is only like 18 or 19. He was 18 or 19 when he got in prisoned, he then sat there for 1 thousand years, where in that time his brain and his looks did not mature. So he really is still 18 or 19, young enough to think that you love someone, and then realize that you don't. Right? "AJ, you have always been there for me. I have watched people that I know and love die, and you have stood right next to me. AJ Wesley Holinkin, I give my heart to you, I love you too," Willow the grabbed AJ and forced their lips together again. This make out session lasted twice as long as the other one, and I just sat there and watched. I walked up to the two. I sat down right next to AJ and cried. I finally looked up through my tears, just to see them continuing on with the now heated session. I reached my hand out so that it rested on his cheek. His cheek was smooth, and I felt even more heartbroken. He shivered when I touched him, he felt me like he would wind so he probably felt like a lot of wind was hitting his face. Willow suddenly pulled back, no out of breath. "AJ, what about Katie?" He froze. "I don't know Willow, but I CAN assure you that she can't and won't be able to take you away from me, I promise you." He finished, and I could tell by his voice that he meant it, I would never be able to tell him how I feel. With that they continued their session. I just cried. "Katie?" I looked up to see Nix. Because she is an air bender, she can see me, talk to me, and transform into her air form. When air benders are in their form, they can talk without anyone being able ear them. "It hurts Nix, it hurts a lot," I then started to cry again. Nix sat down next to me in her air form. "I know Katie, I know," she said sadly with a sigh. I was confused, and she must have seen that. Sighing again she launched into her story, "A few weeks ago, when I first started to like Rexly, he liked that girl over there, Madenly." she pointed and I nodded, "I don't remember how I knew, but I knew that Rexly had never kissed anyone before. I was excited, I had never kissed anyone either, and I thought it could be our special moment. A moment that would be exactly like something out of a fairy tale, with the lightning bugs and the moonlight and just everything perfect. Well one day, I walked around a tent that was on the outer edges of the camp, this was a really big tent, so it took awhile to walk around. I don't remember what I was doing but when I finally turned the corner I saw it. There was Rexly and Madenly kissing. After that I was heart broken. I could barley eat without thinking of their lips, on each other, their tongues dancing together," I scrunched up my nose in disgust, "I really have no advice Katie, it hurts, I know. But you need to know that I am here for you," and with that she hugged me and I cried into her back. "They said that they loved each other Nix, they said that they LOVED each other, they said that there was nothing that I could EVER do to separate them. They didn't even know that I was there! And they said that, that....." I couldn't finish my sentence because Willow interrupted me, "AJ listen, the wind seems to talking, I think that it's happy that we finally got to together!" He smiled and kissed her. I just cried harder, the 'wind' talking was just me crying, how ironic. Nix just stared wide eyed and hugged me again. The pain was terrible.
