Without You

So, several of you requested me to write another chapter to Apologize, and I didn't there for a while because I didn't know what to write about, but after hearing the song Without You by David Guetta, an idea popped into my head, and after a while, I came up with this idea. :)

It had been 2 weeks since… well, you know, Po and Tigress broke up, and life had really changed. Not just for the two warriors, but also for their comrades. For you see, before any of that happened, everyone was always in a good mood. Even Master Shifu. But ever since, fewer jokes have been made by Monkey and Mantis, and Master Shifu went back to his normal self, and so did Tigress. But… one remained, and his name… is Po, and this is his story.

*Flashback*

Po's P.O.V.

It was a stormy Saturday night, and I was sitting on my bed, lost in my thoughts. It had been a week and a half since Tigress and I broke up. I just couldn't believe I didn't at least let her explain! But instead, I just jumped to conclusion and thought that she loved someone else. Why? I loved her with all my heart, and was going to propose to her in about a month!

I just wanted to punch myself in the face, and just beat me into pieces for doing such a thing. I would of, except I then heard the five coming down the hall. I waited for a second, watching my door for Tigress's shadow to pass it and go into her room, but that never happened. After a minute, I decided to get up and actually try and find her. I needed to talk to her right then.

I started with the kitchen, thinking she might be making herself some tea, but she wasn't there. I then tried the training hall. Same results. I then went to check the Peach Tree. On my way up the cliff, I thought to myself what I was going to ask or say to her.

When I finally made up my mind, I was at the top of the cliff. I walked over silently to the other side of the cliff, and took a deep breath. But before I said anything, Tigress interrupted me.

"What is it, panda?" she asked, slightly annoyed.

I was shocked for a second. How did she know that it was me? Never the less, I needed to ask her what I wanted to talk to her about. "Well, um… you remember a week and a half ago when…" I trailed off, to hurt to say what had happened next.

"When you broke my heart? Yes," she said, opening her eyes from meditating.

"Tigress… I-I'm sorry," I said, sitting down next to her.

"For what?" she asked, turning towards me.

"For what I did. I broke your heart and didn't even let you explain!"

"Why do you even care? I thought you were the one who was certain that I was cheating on you."

"Tigress, please! Just tell me what happed!"

"The world was created and the world ended. There! I explained what happened, and what will happen in a few billion years. Now, will you just leave me alone so that I can get back to my meditation?"

"Tigress… you know that's not what I meant. Now, what happened a week and a half ago?"

"Why do you care?"

"Because… I-I"

"Because you what?"

"Because I still love you! I never stopped! OK? I was just angry, and I just jumped to conclusion that you were cheating on me! I wasn't thinking at all. And now, I-I just…" I felt my eyes water up, and a few salty tears roll down my cheeks as I glanced up at Tigress for a moment, before looking back down to the valley.

Tigress placed a paw on my shoulder as I glanced back at her, seeing her eyes water up as well, but she refused to let any tears fall. "Po… if you really want to know what happened, then I'll go ahead and tell you."

"OK, go on."

"Well, I was in the valley to get some groceries, when I saw him. He was an old friend back at the Bau Gu Orphanage, and so I went over to him and we started to talk for a while, but when I turned to leave, he asked me out. I of course refused, because I was going out with you. He then said, 'Well, maybe this will change your mind,' and leaned in to kiss me. Well, he then pushed me up against a wall, and tried to make out with me. I then tried to fight him off, but he was almost as strong as Tai Lung. After he broke it, Viper came up and told me that there were bandits at the bridge, and I told her just to go tell the others that I had some personal matters to attend to. When she was finally out of sight, I made it clear to him to get his god damn ass out of my life, and he did." When she finished, there were tears rolling down her cheeks as she looked up to me with heart broken eyes.

"So… you never cheated on me…" I said, looking down at the ground.

"No, I never did."

I sighed and let it be silent for a second before saying, "Look, Tigress… I love you with all my heart, but…"

"After what happened you're not sure if right now is the best time to get back together?"

"Yea."

"Look, Po, I understand. I think I also need some time too."

"OK, well… I guess I'll see you tomorrow at the gong."

"See you too."

I then stood up and walked off, back to the barracks.

*End of Flashback*

No P.O.V.

Po now was sitting on his bed, recalling what had happened a few days ago. "Why hadn't I just gotten back together with her then? I love her, I truly do, but… I guess I was just too nervous to do so." He thought. After thinking for years, or what it seemed like, he then recalled a song from his childhood and started to sing it.

I can't win, I can't reign
I will never win this game
Without you, without you
I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same

Without you, without you
I won't run, I won't fly
I will never make it by
Without you, without you
I can't rest, I can't fight
All I need is you and I
Without you

Without you
You! You! You!
Without
You! You! You!
Without you

Tigress was walking down the hall of the barracks when she had heard his beautiful voice singing. She had stopped in front of his door and just listened.

Can't erase, so I'll take blame
But I can't accept that we're estranged
Without you, without you
I can'tquit now, this can't be right
I can't take one more sleepless night
Without you, without you

I won't soar, I won't climb
If you're not here, I'm paralyzed
Without you, without you
I can't look, I'm so blind
I lost my heart, I lost my mind
Without you
Without you

Oh, oh, oh!
You! You! You!
Without
You! You! You!
Without you

I am lost, I am vain,
I will never be the same
Without you, without you
Without you

When he was finally done, Tigress knocked lightly on the door and went in.

"Oh… Tigress. Did you… hear any of that?" he asked nervously.

"Only all of it."

"Oh."

She then walked over to him and placed her paw on his shoulder and asked, "As if I don't already know, why did you sing that song?"

"Well…"

"Yea?"

"It's just that I really miss you, and I don't think I can go that much longer without you," he said with sorrow.

But before Tigress gave herself time to react, she kissed him square on the lips. When she broke, she said with a smile, "Po, I've felt the exact same way for all this time."

Po then leaned in, and they shared a passionate kiss that lasted several minutes. When they broke, Po asked, "So, I guess this means that we're back together?"

"Yep, we are." Tigress said with a smile, before they shared another passionate kiss.
