The story couldn't repeat itself. He couldn't let anything happen to you like it happened to Yue. He had already lost his last girlfriend, so he couldn't lose you too. You were his partner and he wasn't going to let you down
well, at least that's what he tried to do. But he doesn't know how to bend, so there wasn't much he could do to save you from the Fire Nation
he had begged Aang, Katara and Toph to go and help you out, but they declined, since they believed that you could get out by yourself... He didn't have much hope, but he couldn't just go to the Fire Nation and get you out of there all alone
5 days without you. Yeah, he had been counting the days. The little hope he had was already gone. He had to accept that you were dead by now. So when he saw you walking towards the camp that they had made, he thought that he was alocinating. How weird. Soon he saw that he wasn't alocinating, that was you. You were alive. So without much thinking, he started running towards you with his arms opened. He looked like he was... About to cry?
"Oh my god, I can't believe you made it!"
