~My Heart Beats Only For You~

He tried to kill me...

The thought swirled around in Asami's mind, as it had been doing since her father had tried to murder her in cold blood.

The constant thought made Asami feel cold, and she wrapped her thick comforter even tighter around her shivering body, as she lay on her bed in the room Tenzin and Pema had given to her.

Alone...she was so alone now...

No mother...no father...and now not even the boy who'd 'claimed' he'd loved her, but who had then run off at the first chance he'd gotten.

Asami Sato was now all alone in this world, and it was a very cold place to be with no one left to love her...to hold her...to tell her that everything would be alright...

The world had grown dark and unkind, and Asami just wished that she could earth-bend so that she could bury herself so deep down a hole, that she would never be seen or heard from again.

Then maybe the pain in her heart would stop...maybe then the tears would stop flowing...maybe then...

"Asami..." a soft, hesitant voice spoke up from Asami's slightly-ajar bedroom door.

Korra carefully and quietly pushed Asami's door open, then slipped quietly inside, and gently closed the door behind her. She stood in silence before the door, lightly leaning against it with her hands behind her back.

Korra was worried about Asami. She was in fact very worried about the green-eyed girl, as Asami had been withdrawing into herself more and more every day. She would barely eat, barely talk with anyone, and was obviously barely sleeping, going by the faint dark circles that had begun to form under her eyes.

Korra felt intense worry...and even more intense guilt, because she knew that she played a part in her friend's downward spiral. But how was she to fix this...how was she to help bring Asami back from the edge of the dark, bottomless pit she stood precariously perched on?

Korra had allowed her baser needs to come between a truly wonderful and beautiful friendship that had begun to form between her and Asami. Mako had appeared in her life...and Korra had allowed attentions she'd never received before from a guy to fill up her head, and cloud her better judgment. Living life in the South Pole while training to be the Avatar, definitely didn't leave much time for socializing. And Mako had actually treated her like a girl, and not the tomboy most of the boys in the South Pole thought of her as.

But despite all that, Korra knew she had been wrong. She'd stolen away the one thing Asami thought she'd had left, and it was the last straw that seemed to have broken the young woman. Guilt ate away at Korra's heart, and she could no longer stand seeing Asami like this. Asami is her friend. Even though what Korra had done was not the actions of a friend at the time, she was deeply sorry for what she'd done, and she would do anything within her power to fix things between her and Asami.

She'd already broken up with Mako.

He'd been shocked and hurt, but Korra had to be true to herself. She didn't love Mako. She once thought she had. She'd allowed her emotions to be fooled into believing infatuation was actually 'love'.

She knew better now.

She knew that her heart didn't ache when she thought of never being with Mako...it ached with pain and need when she imagined life without another...

She knew that her heart didn't clench when she thought of Mako never smiling at her again...her heart clenched in so much hurt and pain, when it imagined a world without the smile of that certain someone lighting up her day...

Her heart didn't bleed when it imagined Mako telling her to stay out of her life forever...it had nearly stopped and bled freely when Asami had told her that just two days before...

Korra couldn't take it...she couldn't take the heartache and pain that Asami's words had unleashed within her...even though she knew on a certain level that she'd deserved them...

But one thing Asami hadn't counted on, was just how stubborn Korra could be.

The blue-eyed Avatar had the strength, spirit, and will of countless Avatars before her. Nothing would break her will, and nothing would stop her from trying to make Asami see that she was sorry...so very very sorry for all the agony and hurt she'd helped bring into Asami's life.

Korra would make it all up to Asami...she had promised herself that she would, and she had silently promised it to Asami as well, and she was now here in Asami's room to fulfill that promise...

Whether Asami decided to ever forgive her...or not.

To be continued...

Hope you all enjoyed. Please review~ =3
