Hurting (Sokka)

"You're a firebender? We trusted you!" Katara yelled at me.

I winced at her yells, "I protected you guys from Azula and her crazy friends! I know I should've told you from the beginning but I know that you guys wouldn't trust me." I balled my fist up.

"But lying about it makes us not trust you anymore." Sokka said cold heartily. Seeing him mad hurt me in so many ways, I never wanted to hurt him, or anybody.

"Even before I told you guys that the Fire Nation was horrible, and it is! I'm not on their side, I never was."

"Did you lose a parent to the fire nation?" Katara spat out.

"Well no-"

"Did your parent have to fight in a war not knowing if they're gonna make it out alive?" Sokka crossed his arms.

I looked down at my feet. "No."

"Did you lose a whole nation?" Aang said.

"I didn't."

Toph didn't say anything, she just stared at the ground. She was hurt, knowing that I broke everybody's trust.

"I left the fire nation because I didn't want to be apart of them. I hated myself, i'm so guilty for what my people did to you. I never had friends, and you guys really loved and trust me and I care about you so much-"

"Just leave." Sokka said.

I chewed on my lip, I especially didn't want him to be mad at me. I accidentally fell in love with him, stupid of me I know.

They all went to bed. I packed my bags, taking some of their food and supplies. Why am I doing this? I'm only hurting them more.

I looked over at the sleeping Sokka, his hair was down and messy, some drool escaped his lips. I planted a soft, gentle kiss on his cheek. My eyes watered, I hate being a fire bender, I hate being a part of the Fire Nation. His boomerang was laying on the ground. I hesitated, but decided to take it as well.

I'm so sorry Sokka, I never wanted to hurt you.

I walked away, seeing the camp fire light going dimmer and dimmer. Since my legs was so tired of walking I made a small camp around this tree. I made my own small campfire using fire bending. At least I don't have to keep it a secret anymore.

I laid down and closed my eyes, holding Sokka's boomerang close to me.

~~
A week has went by since I left. I don't know where I'm going, or when my next meal is. I haven't ate in days, and I'm only surviving off of water. I do have food that I stole from them but I'm saving it for emergencies. Besides, I don't feel like eating, I don't deserve it.

I never let go of Sokka's boomerang, it's always been in my hand. It's the only thing I have that's apart of him, and I don't want to lose it.

I looked down at my wrist, even by a week my arms and legs look so skinny from malnourishment. I sat down next to a pond, seeing my reflection. My eyes are puffy from me crying so much, but they are sunken in because of the lack of food.

I couldn't walk any further, I know that I'm lost and have nowhere to go. The only thing I left was the map, I wished I took that. I drunk some water, feeling the cool sensation in my mouth was so refreshing.

I laid back down on the grass. Hoping that somebody could find and help me.

"Y/n?" I heard my name being called out. I shot open my eyes and stood up, getting into a fire bending stance to protect myself, but soften up once I saw Sokka.

He didn't look too happy to see me.

"You stole our things! And left us!"

"You told me to leave. How am I supposed to survive on my own without food and supplies?" I said in a numb voice.

"You also took my boomerang." He glared. Those eyes shot at me in the heart, but it didn't bother me, i'm so numb to this self hatred that I just don't care anymore. I don't care that he hates me.

I didn't say anything, just stare at him with my lifeless eyes. For a second I saw his facial expression change, but went back to that regular, disappointed and angry face.

"Are you going to say anything?" He crossed his arms.

"Why should I? You don't listen to me." I walked towards him.

He pulled out his water tribe sword weapon thing and swung it at me. I yelped and jumped back.

"Were you trying to hit me?"

"Yes because I'm so frustrated with you!" He came at me again but I created a ring of fire around me to protect myself.

"Why are you frustrated? Shouldn't I be frustrated?" My voice cracked, trying so hard to not cry.

"Because you lied about where you're from, you know how sensitive we all are to the fire nation, you stole our things, act completely innocent-"

I cut him off, making the ring of fire go away. "Innocent? I hurt myself because I was guilty of what my people did. And now I carry that burden because you guys are hurt. Have you ever asked me how I feel? No."

Sokka yelled out of frustration and picked up the boomerang, throwing it at me. I rolled and dodged it. "I refused to fight you." I said.

Sokka pinned me to the ground, holding the water tribe sword against my neck. I started to cry, but this time it wasn't because of guilt. It was because somebody I trusted, who I liked, who I ended up falling for, hates me so much and wants to hurt me.

"Sokka I'm so sorry. I know that everything is my fault, I shouldn't have ever became friends with you and the rest. I should have never fallen in love with you. You stupid idiot who I accidentally loved." I cried harder.

He didn't say anything, he got off of me and sat down next to my head. I leaned up and hugged my knees, rocking myself back and forth. I felt his arms wrap around me, putting his head onto mine.

"I'm sorry, that was stupid of me. I can't believe I almost killed you because you ended up being a firebender and stealing our things. Did you mean when you said you liked me?"

"Yeah." I whispered, I was too exhausted, mentally and physically, to say anything. I just wanted to be held.

"We need to stop hurting each other." Sokka laughed, but we both know that he was right.

"Yeah. We do."
