"Sometimes all you need to do is just sit and cry. Cry until you can no longer cry anymore. Let out all of your feelings. It's okay to cry."

-Me

A lot of people think crying is a weakness, but in reality crying makes you stronger. Just because you're crying doesn't make you weak. If you're told that crying is a weakness, I'm telling you it's not. It's a natural thing to do when you tend to bottle up all of your feelings.

I got home late that night, not aware of my surroundings. I just flopped on bed after releasing my transformation. I was worn out from all of the crying. I fell asleep right away. I woke up the next morning with the sun shining through my balcony window. I groaned and got up. For once I didn't cut. I walked to the shower and relaxed. I started crying, all of my bottled up feelings coming out in my sobs. I get out of the shower wrapping myself up in a towel. I walk out and grab some black jeans and a white hoodie. I pull my hair into a bun on the top of my head. I put some socks and shoes on, grabbing my keys and sketchbook. I grab a small bag and place my items in the bag, as I swing it over my shoulder I look over to Plagg.

"Are you ready to go?"

"Sure." He says as he grabs some cheese and zooms into my bun. As I walked out of the bakery, I locked the doors and quickly ran across the street. What I didn't see was the car zooming right through the red light. Next thing I know I'm laying on the ground with barely any air going into my lungs.

"Are you okay Mari?"

"No. I'm not." I breathe. Why the hell didn't I look where I was going. This was my last thought before my broken and bruised body fell into darkness.

Tikki (POV)

I was sitting next to Adrien, when I felt Plagg's aura become even more negative than usual. I felt his concern and anger. Confused, I called out to him. Plagg?

Tikki?

Are you okay?

I'm fine. But not so much for my charge.

What happened.

She was going out for a walk when a car hit her..

Oh no! Is she okay?

No. No she isn't.

Well school is about to start so we can try and find you then.

I don't think anyone will notice that she's not in class..

I'm coming over.

Tikki, what about your charge?

I can just tell him that you are hurt and I can come by.

Okay.

I silently fly over to Adrien. "Adrien, I need to go somewhere."

"Where?" He asked, confused.

"It's about Plagg and his charge. Something happened and I need to go."

He stands up, "Not without me."

"Adrien. Please. She's hurt and she probably can't move properly or trust anyone. So please just trust me."

"I'm not letting you leave alone. I understand she can't trust anyone but if she is hurt then wouldn't she need someone. Someone to stand by her?" I sigh.

"Let me ask Plagg." I once again reach out to Plagg.

Plagg?

Yes?

Can my charge come too? He won't let me go alone, saying that she needs someone she can trust.

I guess. She isn't waking up and her body is bleeding and bruised. I can't do anything. She was hurt and I couldn't do anything. That guy just hit her.

We are on our way. With that said I turn to Adrien and give him a slight nod. His face brightens up just slightly.

"I hope you know that you are finding out Lady Chat's identity. She's badly hurt."

"I know. Let's go." He says rushing downstairs. "I'm leaving!" He yells out.

"Stay safe!" His mother says.

"I will." He responds and walks out of the door. "Where to?"

"The Dupain-Cheng Bakery." I hold my breath for his answer. He stops in his place.

"Hold up. You telling me Marinette has been Lady Chat this entire time?" He asks, astonished, and keeps walking.

"Yup."

"And now she's hurt. Do you know what happened?"

"She… was hit by a car." I whisper.

"What!" He shrieks.

"I'm not joking and we need to get to her fast."

"Okay." He says before he's sprinting to our destination. As soon as we are there I see Plagg flying around frantically in the bakery part. He sees us and motions us to follow him. We follow him to an alleyway, Marinette is sitting up slightly and barely breathing.

"Marinette!" She opens her eyes slightly.

"Tikki?" She says, questionaly before passing out again.

"Oh god. This is bad, this is so bad!" Adrien comes up to her. One look at her and his face pales.

"She needs to get to the hospital right away." He exclaims.

"Smiling has always been easier than explaining why you're sad."

(A/N: So yea. That wasn't what I had in mind but I think this is good? I don't know. I'm kinda still dealing with my own problems at the moment. But I will try my very best to get another chapter out. And a huge announcement. I'm looking for a beta. I think it would be a good idea, and if you want to beta my work please message me and I will try my hardest to get back to you. I myself am a beta-er and I've only had one person reach out to me. I use google docs to write my stories and just copy and paste. I am also trying to get longer and better chapters. This chapter is 970 words long. Have a great day and please, favorite, follow and review!)
