This story is my entry for TwilightRose2's September contest. Basically you have to write a whole fic based on two lines.
"It hurts."
"Not as much as it should."
So this is my take. I Started this a long time ago and It sat in the middle of nowhere. I couldn't give it a true plot. And when I saw this contest and these lines... INSPIRATION struck like... Like... Like Crazula's crazy lightning! O.o...
Whatever... It's still retarded...XD
She pulled clothes out of the dresser. She had stood there, in the middle of the street. And couldn't react. She would wait and listen. It was her thing. For now the listening part was too much for her. Begging. She hated him begging. Begging her to stay. Not to leave him. That he was sorry and all the other crap. She was done with it. Done with the begging, whining, and especially the lies.
"Sokka! Just shut up! I'm packing my stuff and going home!"
"But Toph! This is your home!"
"No! It used to be our home! Now it's yours! I'm moving back in with my parents!"
"But you hate your parents!"
"Not as much as you! We were getting married Sokka! Married!"
"Were?" His eyes were the picture of sadness. Too bad she couldn't see them.
"Yeah! Were! As in not anymore! I'm tired of all this!" She threw the betrothal necklace at him.
"But-"
"No! I'm not dealing with you anymore!"
"Toph! Stop! Don't go! Please forgive me!" He ran in front of the door.
"Get out of the way before I hurt you Sokka." She stated with an edge.
"But Toph. Please forgive me. Please."
"No! Not again! Not ever!" She hit him in the head with a rock and he blacked out.
His eyes opened slowly and adjusted to the light. Light? Hadn't it been midnight a few seconds ago?
"What the?" He turned and found a woman healing his head.
"Hold still." She ordered.
"Oww. My head… it hurts."
"Not as much as it should." He looked to the other side of the room and saw Toph sitting on a chair with a scowl on her face. Unfortunately his sudden movement made Tami lose focus and drop the water on his face. He sat up immediately and wiped his eyes, careful not to touch the large bruise starting to form. Tami sighed and left to make some tea for her growing headache.
"Toph? What? I thought you were leav-"
"I am. I just couldn't bring myself to leave you there. And now that your fine, I can go." She stood up and picked her green bag from the floor.
"Toph. Please. Don't go."
"Sokka. You have no idea how much you hurt me. I love you. I really do. But I guess you don't feel the same way."
"Toph. I would never cheat on you. I tried to tell her that we were engaged but she didn't listen. She kissed me, Toph. I pushed her away. I just… I just don't want to lose you."
"Sokka. I… I didn't know." She set her bag on the floor and walked to the bed.
"I'm sorry." She hugged him gently. He tightened his grip on her.
"It's okay. It's okay." She sniffed and he realized she was close to crying. She smiled.
"I completely overreacted. I normally wouldn't flip out like that. I guess this is how it's gonna be for a while, huh?" She laughed softly. He looked at her confused. 'Wait. A while? Normally? Katara said the same thing when I was spy… watching her and Aang. She was…'
"Toph? Are you…"
"Yup!" She smiled. He hugged her tighter. And a thought came to mind.
'My life is in grave danger. Isn't it?'
If you didn't catch it- Toph's preggers! MOOOood SWINGS! So yeah. This was horribly written and retarded! :D
