The only thought clogging his brain was that his own father, his only family, turned out to be his greatest enemy.
Adrien had no idea what to do. After turning Gabriel to the police, he found himself locked up in his room trying to find a way to escape the reality he was living in.
He didn't quite understand what was real about it. he wished it was only a simple nightmare that he often has. what kind of world he lived in where his own father terrorizes the city with magic jewels.
All the model wanted was to be swallowed into the ground to disappear from the disappointing truth.
The only other thought crossed his head was 'ladybug'. he loved her too much to let go. he didn't want to leave his love behind. he was this close to earning her heart the other night, as the taste of her skin lingered on his lips, her smell stuck in his head, and he could practically still taste her sweetness. He wouldn't abandon her, he promised himself. she was his whole life, the only one left for him.
Adrien suddenly looked out of the window. Friends.
He still had friends. maybe not. he didn't know if Chloe would still hang out with him now that the truth about Gabriel was out.
He knew Nino would still be there along with would be there supporting him.
Kagami's mother would probably not think twice as she snatches her daughter from his side before giving him a chance.
Marinette, his sweet classmate, he knew she would be there for her. she was too nice for this world. he didn't want to leave her. she reminded him of his mom. her care and love and kindness. she warms up any place she goes. Luka is so lucky to have her like him.
He shrugged to himself as tears spilled more.
Voices started coming back with more negative thoughts.
Chloe wouldn't be there.
Marinette would eventually get busy with her to be boyfriend.
Kagami wouldn't be allowed to talk to him again.
Alya and Nino would eventually get serious and get too busy for him.
no.
He knew the night was just for her to move on from the other guy. they both knew it was useless. she loved that guy too much to move on. Adrien loved her too much so he took in every inch she let him take. he out the whole logic and responsibility behind him just because he loved her so much to care and she was willing to.
Adrien knew deep down she would never return his feelings.
He knew she didn't love him.
She never will.
He stared hard at his ring wrapped up in his hand.
After all, once everyone leaves.
Once everyone gets busy.
Once she gets disappointed he was the son of the enemy.
He would be alone all again.
She shook his head.
Not worth it, the voices in his head repeated.
He will never be accepted by anyone. everyone knew who he was. because he wasn't the heartthrob model anymore.
He was the son of the terrorist.
"That's it. I'm leaving"
In a matter of weeks. Adrien, with the help of Nathalie, had the company, mansion, and everything his father had sold for a fair amount of money.
He found himself packing to run away and never return.
"I'm sorry ladybug. I hope the guy you like loves you eventually." he said as he laid on his bed at 4 am. "you're not going to see me again." he cried as he stared into the ceiling. and just before he blacked out and couldn't see but darkness around him.
"I'm sorry, m'lady"
