Chloe POV
He loves me.
I plucked a single petal off. It fell to the ground, just like the ones before it. I plucked another.
He loves me not.
I continued pluck off the petals.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
He loves me.
He loves me not.
Again. And again. No matter what I did, it was always the same. He loves me not. No matter how much I pretended he did, we all knew he was in love with another. Just a few flowers left.
Marinette Dupain-Cheng
The girl who wasn't afraid of me. My rival, but who believes that, we all knew I already lost. Long ago. It wan't a surprise when we learned she was ladybug. My world fell, crumbling, but it didn't hurt. Why? I knew. We all did. It was nothing more than a facade. Then we learned that he was Chat Noir. Again, no surprise. Those beautiful green eyes that I admired so much. I just couldn't bring myself to believe it. So I fed myself lies.
Flash back
"Yeah, I'm Chat Noir and Mari is Ladybug." He said, blushing slightly while holding Marinette's hands. Marinette was also flushed. I didn't want to believe it, but it was true. My heart shattered. I turned, letting that mask leave, just for a moment, of course, not a single person realized. I placed my hand on my hip and spun, laughing, replacing that mask with a crueler one.
"Whatever, you still can't be as great as me." I saw faces staring at me in disbelief. I swallowed down my nervousness. Marinette looked sad. He was angry. I stalked out.
"C'mon Sabrina, we have better things to do." She followed me, after all what else could she do? I sent her off to go buy me some stuff. Again another facade. Just so I could be alone. Just for a moment, I broke down, crying my heart out in an isolated place I found as a young girl who needed to cry. It was untamed and filled with nature. I loved it, plus nobody ever passed by. I heard rustling. I turned and gasped, doing my best to get rid of my tears.
"Nathaniel?" I questioned.
"Hey." He replied in a cool, yet sad tone, with his bangs swaying. He seemed just as hurt as me. Then it hit me. Nathaniel had a crush on Marinette! I looked at him with a bit of sympathy. He did the same to me.
Flash back ends
Pain. I wasn't the only one.
He loves me.
I plucked another petal.
He loves me not.
The last one fell.
I knew it.
I'm sorry,
Adrien.
You deserved better.
