Chapter 176
Jin was woken up by Ami’s father. Her mother refused to go into the tunnels due to the number of spiders but he had grown up crawling though them and easily found the spot the girls had designated as their secret hiding place as children. He hadn’t said a word but they could both tell he was angry by how quickly he was walking. Jin paused briefly at the peephole they’d left open after seeing Lee laying on top of the other girl and moving. It had been a mistake to give into her curiosity. She was starting to believe that Ami was right about him lying about being with the Waterbender since he had lied about being with her. That hope was demolished when Lee told the Waterbender he loved her before he began kissing her chest.
She ran away at that point but Ami quickly caught up to her and reminded her to pull off the dress. They went back to Ami’s room and Jin changed before they slipped back into the tunnel. This time she heard Lee asking the Waterbender to promise not to do anything to make him hit her before they heard footsteps approaching. They quickly hid as Ami’s brother crept by. He stopped a few doors from Lee’s and opened the peephole to peer in the room where three Fire Nation girls were staying. They covered their ears and shut their eyes as soon as they saw his hand go to the front of his pants.
By the time they deemed it safe to emerge Lee was lying in bed and moving on top of the other girl; after seeing that she had sought shelter in the farthest corner of the tunnel. Ami had tried to convince her that it may not have been what it looked like. The Waterbender may have been giving him a pail of milk but holding out on the whole cow. If Lee was as shy as Jin seemed to think perhaps they hadn’t gone any further. Jin still cried until she hyperventilated and passed out.
Jin was jerked forward when Ami’s father grabbed her arm but she could see that Lee was lying in bed smiling while holding the other girl. New tears crept to her eyes as she was pushed into the bedroom where her mother was impatiently waiting. Kin was pacing and Jin could see her mother’s eyes and face were red. Jin apologized and braced herself for a blow that never came, “I’m sorry, Mom, I didn’t mean to scare you.”
“You can’t apologize for this Jin. I thought something had happened to you even though he has placed you under his protection. I thought…I thought you were in his bedroom,” her mother said crying and turning her back.
“No, I wasn’t,” Jin denied while shaking her head and reaching out to hug her mother, “I wouldn’t…”
“Liar,” Kin hissed knocking her daughter’s hand away, “You wanted to be with him. Even though you know he’s Fire Nation and not the boy you thought him to be; you still attempted to sneak into his room. I’m not stupid Jin. I was once your age. Ami’s father and I have been friends since we were children. You are here because I bribed him with sweets to let me in to see your father. You’ve already given that boy your virtue. I will not let you become another one of his whores.”
“Mom I didn’t…” Jin began before her mother slapped her.
“Jin you are a liar. You will help Ami fill their holding tank with water and then she will do the same at the restaurant.”
Ami’s father gruffly added, “Enjoy your time together. It will be months before either of you has enough free time to see the other.”
The two girls carried water back and forth for over an hour before Ami’s brother began bringing down bedding from the guest rooms to the laundry room that had been turned into a makeshift detention center. A patrol had found a small group of women and children while they were backtracking from the site of the ambush to locate the rebel camp. In spite of her punishment and not caring about the audience, Ami smiled and approached her brother, “Hey Perv, I’m telling Mom what you do in the tunnels unless you bring us the laundry from the Prince’s room.”
“Go ahead, you wouldn’t know I was in them unless you were. You’ll be snitching on yourself” he laughed.
“We’re already busted, hence all the water,” She leaned closer and hissed, “They don’t know you were standing outside those girls room dingling yourself. Can you imagine what Mom would say if she found out you were doing that again? Maybe this time it would be two months of saltpeter?”
“You wouldn’t!” he yelped as Jin closed in on him. “Do you know what that stuff does to a growing man?”
“Yeah, it stops him from growing; that’s the whole point dumbass. Bring us the sheets and we’ll keep your dirty little secret, Pervert,” Jin added menacingly while pointing at the older boy’s crotch. “Bring us all of them the whole time they’re here.”
He blushed but by the time the two of them had brought in two more buckets of water the sheets were waiting on them. “Here, they’re clean.” He grumbled spreading them out for them to see.
“Yes!” Ami exclaimed jumping up and down, “You know what this means Jin? You still have a chance with him. Go get your Prince!”
Jin stared at the sheets. She too had spent a lot of time at the hotel as a child. She had learned at an early age that dirty sheets meant grown up things had happened. These sheets were wrinkled but didn’t have the residual odor and crust that had them trying to figure out what kind of clay only adults could play with. Jin nodded dumbly as relief washed over her; Lee wasn’t sleeping with the Waterbender.
She tilted her head at them quizzically, “What did you tell them so they’d let you change the sheets?”
“Nothing they weren’t in there,” Ami’s brother replied.
She and Ami shared a look before racing to the secret entryway in the laundry. To make up for the time they spent searching the prince’s room they took a short cut by stables to the community well to get water for the restaurant. In spite of being in trouble Jin’s heart was lighter and she felt vindicated; the five gallon container of water wasn’t the only thing she carried.
