Before I start this I want you to know I'm gonna finish this before finishing my other stories.

He's gone. I won't ever see him again. And that hurts. It hurts so much.

The next morning, I get up and take a shower. Plagg is still asleep on my pillow when I come back out. I poke him lightly.

"Plagg. It's time to get up. I have to go to school."

"Nooooo!" He whined.

"You can sleep in my bag and I can give some cheese." I try motivating him.

"Okay." He says and flies into my bag.

"Okay let's get going." I say after putting cheese in my bag.

"Yeah if we don't now, your gonna be late."

"Oh crap." I run downstairs and close the door, locking it and running to school. "Late late, I'm so LATE!" Even if I'm having a hard time, I'm normally on time to school. My thoughts are racing as I run into the classroom. Alya notices me and shakes her head. Some things never change. Of course she's disappointed in you. You're never gonna be enough. Why won't you just give up. You never let people in, like there's a cage around your heart. Heck you even got over Adrien of all people. Why are you still here? I'm standing there in the doorway, with a far away look. I'm just overthinking things. I snap back to reality and head over to my seat. Alya looks at me weird. I take my seat and wait for roll call.

With Adrien and Tikki

"Adrien! It's time to wake up!" I exclaim. Oh god if he doesn't wake up now, he will be late to school. "Adrien! You're gonna be late!?" Gosh how can he sleep like a rock! Okay next best thing. I smile before going over to him and take a deep breath. I… blow in his ear. He jumps up and out of bed.

"Tikki! What was that for!"

"You have 10 minutes before school starts." I say calmly.

"What! Oh no I'm gonna be late!" He says as he speeds to his closet and takes a fast shower. "Okay I have 5 minutes before school starts and I live 10 minutes away, but if I run I can get there in about 4 minutes. Lets go Tikki!" He says as he pulls his shoes on and throws his bag over his shoulder. I laugh and go into his jacket pocket. He runs all the way to school and makes it into the classroom just as the bell rings. His hair is a mess and still slightly wet but mostly dry and his clothes are wrinkled but at least he is wearing clothes. "Adrien, it's great you could join us." Ms Bustier says. He blushes and moves to his seat.

Marinette's POV

"Adrien, it's great you could join us." I lift my head up out of my arms. Oh great Adrien is here. I thought he was busy this morning. I don't know if I can face him or anyone, maybe I shouldn't have come today. I put my head back into my hands. Maybe it isn't a good idea, my cuts still sting from last night. I think I'll just go home and say I'm not feeling well. Yeah that sounds believable. I'll get my work and do it at home. As I'm thinking this I hear my name being called.

"Marinette!" Alya exclaims.

"What?" I groan.

"What is with you today. You don't seem like yourself."

"I'm fine, just not feeling too good. I think I'm gonna go home." I say while getting up and out of my seat.

"Oh well I hope you feel better." She says, dejectedly.

"Yeah me too. I guess I'll see you later." I say and walk out of class. I grab all of my work and go back home.

"Why would you wanna leave school?" Plagg asks.

I sigh before responding. "There's something you should know about me." Then I proceeded to tell him my story. Or my life. When I was finished Plagg was silent. Then he flew to me and hugged my cheek. He snuggle in my collarbone.

"I'm sorry. I'm so sorry. You should have never been through that. You're so bright. From the short time I've known you I can tell that you make everyone else's day brighter, but no one saw through your fake smile. I'm so sorry Marinette."

"It's okay Plagg. I'm fine. I'll be fine." I'm always fine, but maybe I'm not. Maybe I need help but I'm too scared to ask for it. At least I have Plagg. As long as I have him…

I'll be fine.

"My heart is not brave or big. It is not cruel either. It is not strong at all. I keep it within this iron cage for a reason. Breathe on it wrong and I will die... Just go now. I would rather let you see my face, than my heart."

(A/N: I'm sorry for the short chapter but I thought I should end it here and start a new chapter. I'm also hurt. (I hurt my knee somehow) so I am stuck to bed. I'll get the next chapter out relatively soon.)
