***Marinettes POV***
"...Thank you Adrien…" I said quietly.
He looked at me and smiled faintly, "You're welcome… But… What for?"
I smiled and looked down, "Opening yourself up to me. I always wanted to know about me and you're letting me see you. The real you. Not the famous model Adrien Agreste but the person on the inside. Basically I'm happy you're letting me see the person in here." I put my hand on his chest and felt his heartbeat.
He smiled, "Of course. I tried opening myself up to you so many times. But-"
"Now before you think I rejected you because I liked Adrien just for his looks I didn't want to get close to anyone else because he was so nice to me. I didn't want to loose him before I got to really know him."
Adrien grabbed my hand and looked into my eyes. He was so beautiful. My body suddenly got warm. His free hand grazed my neck and I got even warmer, feeling a shiver go down my spine. He leaned closer and we were only inches apart. I felt joy mix in with the million other emotions that were burning through my soul. I looked at him and he looked into my eyes before closing his. He leaned incloser and our lips met. I closed my eyes. I never felt so comfortable in my life. His lips were so soft, so amazing. I turned so he was on top of me and he grabbed my hips. I wrapped my arms around his neck and put my hands in his hair. His perfect blonde hair was so soft. It was beautiful. He was beautiful.
After a while he pulled away and breathed heavily.
I looked into his perfect green eyes and smiled.
He chuckled and looked away. I closed my eyes. Then his phone started ringing.
He picked it up, "Hello? Natalie? Um… I'm at the park… No! No! I'll walk home! I enjoy a good walk." He laughed nervously, "Okay I'll be home soon. Sorry." He hung up and looked at me, "I gotta go princess…" He kissed my forehead, "I'll text you sweetie. Plagg, claws out!" He transformed into Chat.
I smiled, "I'll walk you out Kitty." We walked to the roof and he kissed me softly.
I watched as he jumped from roof to roof and he soon disappeared.
I sighed, "I miss you already Adrien…." I stared at the sky for a few moments before remembering how upset my mom seen. I ran downstairs to see my mom still sitting on the couch, "Mom what's going on? A-Chat Noir left so we can talk now."
"Marinette…" She looked at me with a sad face, "Your father…"
I felt my body run cold, "W-What about dad?"
"He left us…" She whispered.
I felt everything go numb and I saw the tears in my mom's eyes.
"No!" I yelled, clenching my fists, "Dad would never leave us! He loves us!"
"Then Marinette explain why he's with some other woman who is pregnant with his child?!" My mom looked at me, her eyes blazing with a cold fire.
I couldn't blame her, "what's gonna happen to the bakery? It's his right?"
"He's giving us three days to move out." She sighed gently.
"Wait… Me too?" I asked softly.
"Yeah… She claims we aren't his family…"
"Not even me?!" I exclaimed, "I'm his daughter! He raised me! I… I… Why?! I'm his fucking child!" I ran up the stairs and slammed my door shut. I sat on my bed and began to cry. Why didn't my father love me? What was wrong with me that I wasn't good enough? Why did he leave me? I started sobbing, "Dad… Why?" I pulled out my phone and texted Adrien, 'My dads making me & my mom move out becausbhe cheated on her.' I let out a sob and threw my phone as I sent the message to him.
My heart hurt. Worse than when I saw Adrien with Chloe or Lila. This physically hurt.
I looked over at my stuff and I saw my scissors. I bit my lip and walked towards them.
"Marinette stop! Don't do that!" Tikki exclaimed, grabbing the scissors.
"Tikki give them back dammit!" I took them from her and pushed her away.
"Marinette you're stronger than that! You don't have to do this!" She covered her mouth with her hands as fear filled her small blue eyes.
"No I'm not. Ladybug might be… But I'm not…" I took the scissors and slashed my right wrist with it. I did it harder than ever before. I wasn't a stranger to cutting. I've been doing it ever since I was 11. It's habit. I stopped for a while. As soon as I met Adrien actually because I didn't want him thinking I was some emo.
I watched as the dark red blood rose from my wrist and I let out a sigh of relief. I would do it again… I could feel it. But I wouldn't do it now.
"Tikki…" I murmured as I grabbed a piece of cloth.
"Yes Marinette…?" She said quietly, not looking at me.
I wrapped it around my bleeding cut tightly, "Start packing… we need to be out of here in three days…"
"Yes Marinette…" She flew off to get some bags.
I opened my closet and grabbed my big black bag that I had for when we traveled. More tears ran down my face as I began putting clothes in it.
"Marinette…" Tikki flew over to my face and dried my tears, "Just because your dad is a scumbag doesn't mean you're alone. I love you. Adrien loves you. Your mom loves you."
"Yes Tikki I understand that but… My dad… he was a huge part of my life. I can't just let that go. It'd even like letting you go." I sniffled and shook my head, "It just hurts… How many dads would give up their own child…? It's not fair!" I let out a sob and I laid on the floor, curled into a ball, "At least with Adrien his mom disappeared! Chloe's mom died! My dad just got up and fucking left!" I didn't cuss much but right now everything was blurred and I was so frustrated. I just said whatever came to my mind with no second thought. I did whatever came to my mind with no second thought. I gritted my teeth and grabbed my scissors again and slashed my left wrist, deeper than the right. I growled as the blood instantly rose and I began getting dizzy.
"Tikki…" I muttered quietly, "I…" I laid down on the edge of my bed, looking. At my wrist… it was kinda bad… My bed began to get stained red and I looked at Tikki, "Tikki…" I said again. Her eyes widened in fear and I saw the corners of my vision go dark. Wait.. No… Tikki… Adrien… Help! I don't want to die!
