All That's Left of Us

Chapter 22: Sokka

Chapter Text

I had a different letter all written out, but after what happened today, I can’t send it to you. I’m writing to tell you I can’t do this anymore. You turned on me in the one moment we had to be together, just the two of us, right when I started thinking we had a real chance. You ruined everything. And yeah, maybe I ruined things too, but I’m not sorry I lied. I need to keep Aang and my sister safe. That’s more important than anything I might feel have felt for you. I know you’re in a tough situation, but guess what, I am too, and it doesn’t make me act like a total asshole to you. I can’t keep doing this to myself, always making excuses for you in my head. I guess it’s finally hit me that we’re not just on opposite sides of the war, we are the opposite sides. Even so, I thought we could make it work but you showed me we can’t. Thanks for that. I especially appreciated getting burned. Spirits, this was all so much easier when I didn’t know who you were. And I know it makes me a liar and a coward and a terrible person for backing out now when I said so many things I can never take back. But I guess I’ll just have to live with that. Don’t write to me anymore.

            S.
