Prologue
"Hawky!" Sokka exclaimed as a messenger hawk came into view. Sokka knew that Suki had sent her response. Suki had left for Kyoshi Island about a month before saying that she was homesick and somebody needed to train the new soldiers. Sokka understood, she was afterall a very important woman. The bird landed on Sokka's shoulder and he quickly reached up to pull the note out. Everyone inched there way closer to Sokka as he unrolled the note.
"Its from Suki!" Sokka exclaimed. But of course he knew it was from her, nobody can resist the charms of the love machine.
"What does it say?" Toph asked.
"LET ME READ IT FIRST TOPH," Sokka snapped.
"Okay , okay, don't get your panties in a twist."
"Than…WHAT I AM A MAN I DON'T WEAR PANTIES." Sokka's glared at Toph.
"What every you tell yourself to get to sleep at night."
"Toph…"
"Sokka, just read the letter already," Katara interrupted stopping the argument from continuing.
"Fine" Sokka said with a pout. He shifted his glare down to the paper infront of him, still annoyed by what Toph had said. How could Toph say that? I don't know I will just have to deal will that later.
Sokka,
I can no longer live a lie. I know that you have feelings for me and for that I am sorry. When I first met you I was younger than I am now and not as experienced. When we kissed that first time when Zuko attacked my village I thought that I had fallen in love with you. But then again I really did not know what love is.
I am writing this letter to you to say goodbye Sokka. I have found someone who makes me feel like it is summer all year round. When Haru holds my hand the world just stops. I find it hard to breath, my heart starts to pound and I am truly happy. Truth be told Sokka, you are just too immature and childish for me. Haru is a real man and I have been seeing him for over a month now.
Bye Sokka maybe we will meet again someday. I am sorry that I let it go so long and that I lied to you,
Suki
Sokka just stood there gripping the letter so hard that his knuckles were turning white with sadness. Tears flowing from his eyes like great rivers running onto the letter below. The words started to run together as if they were all one. Sokka just stared straight ahead confused, his heart hollow, a dark pit that could not be filled. After what seemed lifetimes, Sokka let the letter fall to the ground. He turned and walked straight to his head, each step feeling like he was in a daze. Gods, please let this be a nightmare. He thought as he just got farther away from the rest of the gang.
"Well," said Toph annoyed, "what does it say?"
"I think Suki just left him," Zuko stated coldly. As they watched Sokka walk away Aang just looked confused and Katara had tears of her own.
