Chapter 4

Alya's POV

I walked out the door thinking Marinette was behind me, but when I stopped to say something about my ladyblog to her by the gym doors she wasn't behind me. I frantically scanned everywhere for her but then found her still by our class door talking to CHLOE! I ran over to her, glaring at chloe looking her up and down "what was all that about girl?". Before I could do anything chloe kicked my best friend in the back of her leg! Marinette screamed in pain falling to the ground.

Ugghh that girl, that was sooo uncalled for!

"Mmnn mnn no way you be thinking that your getting away with this girl UH UH!" For once I actually thought I saw fear in her eyes as I marched up to her taking off my jumper.
I clenched my fists revealing my bulging knuckles and swung at her, my fist connected hard with the side off her cheek making her fall down. I started to kick her, she was covering her face screaming, blood streaming down her face when" as Nino and kim started trying to hold me back telling me to calm down.
"No, let me go lemme at her"

Kim had given up trying to restrain me a while back but Nino stayed clinging onto me dragging me back, so I finally gave up knowing that Nino was a lot stronger then me when he wanted to be.
I turned around to to help up Marinette but when I did she wasn't there, looked up from where she was and saw her laying limp in Adrien's arms. My stomach turned as I saw the blood trail leading from where I was to Marinette practically flowing from her leg! "Adrien? ADRIEN!"

I gasped as flashbacks of the akuma fight yesterday flooded back into my head "ladybug?"

[Time skip 1 month]

Adrien's POV

It has been one month since I've heard m'ladys laugh, seen her beautiful sky blue Crystal eyes, shared late night patrols and had late night chats with my princess eating cinnamon rolls.
It's been one whole month thats she's been in hospital in a coma from the amount of blood she lost, only just surviving on a drip. I had to ask for only one main nurse to take care of her because of her secret identity. I didn't want to tell her but she forced me to, they said they needed to know what happened to her fully understand the reason for all the cuts and bruises.
I had come to visit her every night (as chat noir obviously,, each time bringing her flowers hoping that one day she would be awake cracking jokes with the nurse, but each time I did, all I saw was the love of my life laying still in the hospital bed, chest barely rising!
I set down the new set of flowers I had brought and took her hand
"Oh Mari, please, please come back. Everyone misses you, and jeez do I miss you!" Tears were rolling down my face now dropping onto the squeaky clean floor one landing on her small, soft hand.
"I'm s-sorry, I am so so so sorry princess, I should have been there to protect you."

Marinette's POV

"-nd jeez do I miss you!" I woke to a light tought on my right hand and what felt like rain droplets on my hand aswell!
Aswell as a soft voice that sounded just like my beloved kitty
"I'm s-sorry, I am so so so sorry princess, I should have been there to protect you." I heard the voice sob,
"It's okay kitty, I'm okay." I lightly squeezed his hand as a smile played across my lips.

Chat wrapped his arms around me laughing abit to himself,

'Oh thank god your okay, I thought I'd never see you again
You were so close to death'

'Well you should have more faith in me, you know I'm a fighter'
I sat up wincing at the slight pain that was going to be with me for a long time from now. Chat got up and handed me the clipboard at the end of my bed.

I gasped at the amount of time I was out, then realization hit me.

"Chat?"

'Yes princess.' His breathing had become less hitched since je had stopped crying.

"Who know who I am now don't you!" My voice was trembling I had no idea what he thought of me now or if he even still loved me!

'Yes, i do m'lady, and I am not one bit less in love with you. In fact I think I've fallen in love with you even more than I was before!"

I stared up at him in disbelief, as if what he said was all in my mind. My eyes were tearing up up and my hands were shaking
"H how I I'm just Marinette, I I'm clumsy, stupid and MOST d definitely not pretty!?"

Adrien's POV

I wrapped my arms around her wast hugging her close, never wanting to let her go.
"Listen, you are clumsy but you are most definitely not stupid you are the most prettiest girl I've ever met. Now you probably think I say this to all the pretty girls I come across, well I've only ever said this to you! The beautiful, courageous, brave, clumsy, artistic, smart and loving girl I have ever met l. . . Mari...I l..love you, and honestly it would be a privilege for my heart to be broken by you." I stared deeply into her eyes biting my lip nervously waiting for a response.

She stared up to me in awe, as I had just poured my entire heart out to her the only one I have ever let through the walls I had ever so carefully built up brick by brick.

'I...I love you too silly kitty' tears now full on rolling down her face, she swung her arms around me sobbing into my neck!

Finally updated, first week back was too much for me so it took longer than expected!
Hope you liked it, and thank you so much for all the encouragement people have sent me.

Until next time?
