Moving On

Marinette POV.

I called Alya and told her about my situation. She came over as soon as she could with a tub of ice cream while we watched the Titanic.

"Don't let go Jack..." I whispered as I took another spoonful of ice cream.

I know that I'm being so cliche right now but the irony of it all actually makes me feel a lot better.

Alya knew this too. We always joked about doing this if one of us were ever in a heartbreak situation. It made me feel a little better.

"I'm sorry but the ending to this movie is so fucking stupid." Alya commented "I mean why the hell did she jump BACK on the boat he could have survived if she wasn't there and drift on the drift wood himself."

"Its because they love each other so much.." I defended even though at one point I thought the exact same thing. "You don't think when your in love..."

"Then she tells him to not let go and what does she do?" She questioned "SHE LETS GO! Like why the fuck you lying." She sang.

"I thought I told you to stop looking at American memes with Nino." I scolded with a smile.

She laughed "I'm sorry I can't help it. Americans are so weird its hilarious."

I smiled but then frowned as I saw my ice cream was gone and the credits began to roll on our movie.

Alya took my bowl and set it too the side. "Well now that that's out of the way." She opened my laptop and began to type. "On to stage 3."

"Stage 3?"

"Yeah. Stage 1 was acceptance. Stage 2 was greiving which you just did. Now Stage 3 is moving on finding a new man or..." She continued. "If your feeling risky you could make last man jealous." She winked.

"No. No. No. I can't do that." I thought for a moment. "How exactly do you plan on finding me a new man?"

"Two words. Online Dating."

"What?!" I shouted. "I can't do that either!"

"Oh yes you can." She told me. "We can't just keep sitting here eating ice cream and watching dank romance films. The best way to get over a heart break is to find a new boo. Girl after I'm done Adrien is going to regret not taking you when he had the chance."

The next evening I looked through the dating website with Tikki on my shoulder. I haven't left my room since I we came back home from the photoshoot yesterday. I didn't have any work today as Mr. Agreste was at another meeting and Adrien had went to his fencing lesson. The only one here was Natalie and some of the staff.

"What about that one." Tikki asked when I stopped at a picture of a male brunette with brown eyes. "He looks nice."

"Yeah..." I don't really trust online dating to much. Not everyone are who they say they are on the internet. Although I'm sure I can handle myself if I were to get in some kind of trouble but still.

I heard a knock on my door.

"Who is it?" I asked.

"Its me...Adrien."

I froze and closed my computer as Tikki hid. After coming to my decision yesterday I wasn't sure if I wanted to face him again anytime soon.

I took slow steps towards the door and opened it a little.

There he was in all his glory still looking as handsome as ever. He smiled that gorgeous smile of his and spoke.

"Hi."

"H..Hi." I tried not to stutter I really did, but it felt so weird seeing him after deciding I was going to give up on him.

"I was wondering if you were doing okay." He started. "I didn't get to speak to you all yesterday afternoon and Natalie told me that you've been in your room all day. Is everything alright?"

"Yes! I mean no...I mean...everything fine!" I said trying to summon up my best smile.

Adrien didn't seem too convinced. "Okay...well was wondering if you wanted to watch a movie together tonight. I ment to ask you last night but I guess you and Alya were having a girls night."

"Oh...um I'm sorry but I'm...working on something." I tried to think of a reasonable excuse. I can't be alone with him right now.

"Oh..." He looked a little disappointed at my answer and I couldn't help swallowing the guilt. "Okay then...maybe another time. Do you need any help with anything."

"No its fine but Thank you."

He nodded and made his way back to his room. I closed the door and slid to the floor.

"Ugh...this is going to be hard."

Tikki came out of her hiding spot. "What do you want to do Marinette?"

I went back to my laptop and opened it showing the male brunette from before.

"I'm...going to take a risk." With that I clicked accept.
