WARNING! MENTIONS OF ANEIXTY AND PANIC ATTACKS IN THIS CHAPTER, ALSO A CHARACTER HAVING ONE.
Two days. Two days it had been since the accident, since Marinette had been hit by the car. It was now Monday, time to go back to school. Adrien didn't know if he was ready, could he face school, where everyone would be talking about her? About the accident? It had been on the news yesterday, police asking if anyone had seen or recognised the car.
He lay in bed a bit longer, his photoshoots for the weekend had been cancelled due to his father seeing how upset he was. He took a deep breath and sat up, firefly rubbing his eyes and pushing his hair out his face. He stretched his arms as he stood up to get ready, he decided maybe going to school was a good thing? To be around other people who loved and cared about Marinette as much as he did.
He felt a small paw on his cheek "You can do it Adrien, maybe being with Ayla and Nino will help you, give you someone other than me and Plagg to talk to" He smiled at Tikki's words, he brought up his hand and cuddled her into his cheek.
"Thank you Tikki, you're so good at advice, all Plagg ever does is encourage me to rebel" He responded, Tikki giggled.
"Sounds just like that grumpy cat, you know he once convinced a prince to run away and find the lover of his life after she went missing?"
"Wait really? There was prince Chat Noir?" Adrien asked in amazement, Plagg never really talked about his past chosens.
"Yes there was, their story was so romantic, she was Ladybug of course, it was horrid that she got put under that sleeping spell by her step mother, but once he woke her up they lived happily ever after! After taking down the queen" Tikki explained the story, Adrien stopped that sounded familiar.
"Woah wait, are you telling me Snow White and Prince Charming were Ladybug and Chat Noir? They were real? The story is real?" He questioned, Tikki nodded.
"Yes I dare say they were the most romantic and in love pair we ever had... next to you and Marinette of course" She winked that made the boy blush.
"Y-yeah...a love story I will make happen... once she wakes up..." He trailed off looking down again, Tikki looked down too.
"She will, as you said she's a fighter... she'll be out of that coma soon then we can explain this whole situation to her and she will be ever so happy that you are her Chat Noir" Tikki encouraged. Beside them they heard a grumble from a just woken Plagg.
"Gee you two are as bad as eachother with this romance stuff" Plagg grumbled as he woke up.
"Oh shush Plagg, you like it too" Tikki scolded. Adrien smiled slightly at the two as he got out of bed and started to get ready fro school.
Adrien arrived at school, his back hanging off his shoulder were Tikki and Plagg were hiding. He got out the car and noticed Nino waiting for him, Adrien noticed his friend look less happy than usual, which was expected, Marinette is his friend too, he walked up to hid friend and gave a small sad smile.
"How you doing man? You okay?" Adrien asked Nino, putting a hand on his shoulder, Nino returned the small smile.
"Tired dude, I've been up all weekend worrying about Mari, when Ayla phoned me I couldn't believe it, I've also been with Ayla making sure she's okay" Nino sighed, he looked at Adrien and noticed his red eyes and tired look.
"You okay dude? You look like you might pass out, you worried too? She'll get better man... but I understand" Nino pulled his friend in for a hug, Adrien returned the hug and nodded. They hugged for a minute before pulling away.
"Come on, we better get to class" Adrien said, the two boys walked to the class room together in silence.
They both noticed the sad atmosphere as soon as they walked into the class room, all the students looked down, no doubt the news of their classmate getting run over had spread, also the fact that she hadn't woke yet since the accident. No one knew how severe her condition was, the bakery had been shut all weekend as Marinettes parents had been spending all their time at the hospital only going home to shower and sleep.
Adrien looked sadly at the empty bench behind his and Nino's, his breath caught in his throat, he had to try and hold back tears, his vison blurred as tears threatened his eyes, Why? Why was just seeing her empty seat affecting him so much? He couldn't stop as the tears rolled down his cheeks.
He was snapped out his trance when he felt a hand on his shoulder, He turned to see Ayla, looking at him with concern, her eyed were red, like she hadn't stopped crying all weekend, she looked tired and shaken, like she hadn't slept at all. She didn't say anything as she hugged him tight. He hugged her back, Nino soon joined in the hug too, wrapping his arms around both of them. One by the one the classmates walked down, all joining in the hug, some even had tears in their eyes too.
The teacher walked in and stopped at the sight of her students all hugging together, she sighed sadly, she didn't even plan a lesson for the day, knowing that Marinette was a very loved girl and the class wouldn't be focused.
"Okay class, why don't we forget about the lesson and turn this into a sort of therapy session?" The class all turned to look at her, breaking out the hug "You don't have to talk about anything you don't want to but I think we all need each other right now"
The class agreed and everyone took their seats, all ready to talk about their friend.
Looking up at the hotel doors Chloe held onto her bag a bit tighter, she couldn't, she couldn't walk through the door, every time she did she saw the road... saw Marinette lying there, blood coming out her head.
Her breathing felt shallow, her chest felt tight, her throat felt like it had closed up, she felt dizzy, the room was spinning, she couldn't breath, she felt as though she was going to throw up. She felt the hotel carpet beneath her fingers, when did she fall to ground? Reality was slipping, her vision was going black, has she passed out? Was she dying? She felt herself shake, she felt trapped, isolated.
"Chloe, Chloe, you're okay, its okay, look at me" The blonde vaguely registered s voice, she turned seeing a blop of red hair, she managed to turn herself fully to face her friend "Breath with me okay, you ready, in and out" Sabrina instructed breathing steadily.
Chloe followed, breathing with her friend, she reached out and shakily took Sabrina's hands, which the redhead let her do, but held them loosely enough so Chloe could pull sway if she wanted or needed to.
After five minutes of breathing Chloe seemed to calm down, She threw her arms around Sabrina's waist, holding her tight, Sabrina hugged back, stroking Chloe's hair "You don't have to go in today you know, we can skip together if you want, we can put on Netflix and just lay in your bed eating junk" Sabrina spoke with a soft voice.
Chloe shook her head "N-no I need to do this...I-I need to be there" She explained, she stood up shakily with Sabrina's help.
"Well we'll go together" Sabrina replied taking Chloe's hand once again, The blonde smiled sadly and held Sabrina's hand tight as they walked through the doors of the hotel.
Chloe tried to ignore the way her heart was beating, or the fact that somehow Sabrina made her feel better... that was a problem for another day not now.
"She is always so kind to everyone, I just don't understand why this happened to her, why did this bad thing happen to someone like her? Someone with a heart as good as hers?" Rose wiped her eyed with a tissue as Juleka hugged her.
The class all agreed, they had been talking about Marinette for the last half hour, talking about all the good things she did, how she helped everyone, even reminding themselves off the times she tripped or made the class laugh. They laughed and smiled and cried.
It was then the door opened, everyone stopped as Chloe and Sabrina walked in, hand in hand, no one said anything but everyone saw how Chloe looked, she stopped and gulped squeezing Sabrina's hand.
"Umm I-I just want to say...I-i'm not here to be mean... I umm actually... I want to change... to be a better person... after seeing what happened on Friday...i just...I want to make it uo to all of you... for everything I've done... before its too late..I'm not asking for straight up forgiveness... but will you sell give me a chance?.." The whole class looked at her, Deciding whether or not Chloe meant it.
Adrien stood up, having seen what Chloe was like that night he knew she meant it, she had been so scared, so terrified. He walked towards her, standing in front of her, The model held his arms open, he hugged her lightly "I believe you Chloe" He whispered.
They pulled sway as Chloe offered him a smile "Thanks Adrien, you're a great friend" She replied, as she stood back "I'm sorry for hanging all over you, I don't know why I did it, I never felt that way about you, I actually think of you as more as a big brother"
The male just nodded "I know don't worry" He moved to sit back down. Chloe looked at the class, to find them all giving her a sympathetic look.
"We'll give you a chance Chloe" Rose started sweetly.
"But you have to earn it, okay?" Alix added.
Chloe nodded "I will, thank you, thank you all"
The rest of the class was spent speaking some more about Marinette, talking about her designs and talents and how she became friends with them all.
Ayala had stayed quiet but enjoyed listening to the stories, she was sat in between Nino and Adrien not wanting to sit alone, Nino was holding her hand under the table whilst Adrien would put a comforting hand on her shoulder. Ayla knew both boys were as worried as she was . Both boys loved her as much ss she did... maybe one in a different way.
She glanced at the blonde, he looked worried sick, like her he had been up all weekend worrying. She looked down again.
Suddenly her phone started ringing, fishing it out of her pocket she jumped dust the name, looking at the teacher, silently begging her to take it "I-it's Mari's mom.."
The teacher nodded and Ayla picked up the phone, everyone stopped, trying to listen.
"Hey Sabine... no no I've got permission...everyones worried about her, how is she?... what?... really?... oh my god... that's... that's amazing... yeah yeah I will tell everyone... thank you... tell her I love her and i'll visit her soon... okay bee.." She hung up the phone and looked at everyone happily.
"Marinettes awake... she woke up... she doesn't remember what happened but she's awake"
The whole class cheered, Adrien and Nino caught Ayala in a threeway hug, all smiling happily.
