Where the Sky meets the Sea

What If I've Lost Him?

Zuko was watching Azula, but I looked away. She looked so helpless, I felt sorry for her.

What now...

I heard Zuko wince in pain.

"Let's go inside so I can heal you." I suggested. I hated being out here and I wanted to get away from Azula so I was eager to get inside.

Zuko commanded the fire sages to watch her until she fell asleep and take her to a prison cell.

Once we were inside, I gave Zuko a healing session. We were sitting in silience, our minds asking the same questions: Have we won? What now? Is everyone else okay?

Is Aang okay?

Zuko fell asleep once the session was over and I went to to the window. The comet looked so beautiful. I wish I could enjoy it...

I was so worried. What if Aang doesn't win?

I promised I wouldn't let myself think like that but I couldn't help it. I miss him. I felt tears start pouring down my face. What's wrong with me? Aang will be fine. He'll be fine. We'll be fine. I just wish I had a chance to say goodbye to him and wish him luck. I'd say... I love you.

I love him? Of course I love him! He's my best friend. No one understands me like Aang. No one makes me feel like Aang makes me feel. I blushed again. I love him, I repeated in my head. I do.

I realised this a while back but I have never admitted this to myself because... what if I lost him?

What if I've lost him?

I love him and I've lost him. I should have told him before but it's too late... he's not going to come back and he'll never know how much I love him.

I love everything about him. I love talking to him, laughing with him. I love when we practice waterbending together. We rarely get to be alone. I love when we're alone. I love when I make him blush and I love when he makes me blush. I love how fun and exciting he makes everything feel. I love how he makes me feel. I love him. And he'll never know.

Katara stop. Stop thinking like this. He will come back. And when he does you will tell him you love him and everything will be okay.
