Korrasami-AU

After All These Years

It's been 3 years since Korra disappeared. I haven't been the same since.

I'm still so confused, she was sick and having a bad day, and I leave the room for 5 minutes. 5 stupid minutes and she's gone.

I should've stayed with her. If I had stayed in the room with her, she wouldn't be gone.

I'm such an idiot.

"Asami, it's been 3 years. You need to let this go. It's probably not even her."

I snapped my head to face Mako. "How could you say that? I love Korra! She means the world to me. I don't care how long it takes, I'm not going to let this go until she's back in my arms."

I got out of the car and walked towards the doors to the police station.

We had gotten calls before, telling us that someone had found Korra. So far they've all been wrong. Mako didn't want to look for her anymore, but I would look forever.

"So is it her? Is it really Korra this time?"

The police officer shrugged and pointed to a room.

"The woman we found is in there. She didn't want to be found or brought here, she was a struggle. But she's here now, go take a look."

I walked to the door and opened it up.

I had so much hope.

I wanted it to be Korra so badly.

But it wasn't her.

It wasn't Korra.

I teared up and left the room.

"Was it her?" The officer asked.

I shook my head without looking at him and continued my way out of the building.

---------------

I ask myself every day why she left.

If it was because of something I did.

If it was because of something I didn't do.

If it was because something was going on and I didn't push her to tell me so I could help.

I had so many questions.

Why did she leave?

Did she really love me?

Does she hate me?

Would I ever see her again?

A knock at the door interrupted my trail of thoughts.

I got up from by bed and walked down the stairs to answer it.

I opened the door and there stood Mako and Bolin.

"Asami? Are you ok? You're crying."

My eyes widened a little. I brought a hand to my face and wiped. I pulled back my hand to see it was wet.

I didn't realize I had been crying.

"Oh. I didn't even notice."
