Chapter 4

Adrien's POV

My body moves on it's own. I quickly open the latch and grab the knife from her and tossed it to the other side of the room. Holding her close to me, I feel her tears drip fast on my suit. She falls limp in my arms, and I do the first thing I think of.

"TOM! SABINE! GET UP HERE QUICKLY! IT'S MARINETTE!" I shouted as loud as I could, I swear the whole town could've heard me. I hear loud footsteps running up the stairs and pound on the hatch. I quickly go to unlock it as I watch their eyes in horror. They run and kneel down next to their daughter. Tom looks straight at me while Sabine calls an ambulance.

"What happened here, Chat, and you better answer quickly. What were you doing in her room? Why did she have a knife in her hands?"
"I come to see her once in a while after battles just to vent about my life with my father or if I'm having a bad day. She's become a close friend of mine over that time. I came here because I... I heard about some things in my civilian form and was worried about her. I wanted to make sure she was okay," I start to crying. "I was horrified at what I saw and threw the knife out of her hands, and quickly called you two up here. Also.. the ambulance will take too long. Please let me take her and save her..." I look straight into her fathers eyes showing so much sadness yet determination. I guess it worked because all he did was nod. I carefully lifted her up and jumped swiftly yet carefully across the rooftops until I was inside the hospital.

"I need a doctor! Quickly! She's lost too much blood!" As I speak, doctors were rushing around me, one bringing a gurny. I gently place her onto it, and follow the doctors as far as I could. One nurse came out and asked me how I found her. I told him the story except leaving out that I was in her room and I've already told her parents as well.
"Well, Chat. It's not looking good for her. She's lost a lot of blood and needs a transfusion. Problem is, we don't have her type in at the moment. If we don't get it, she will die." I look at them wide eyed. 'Well, they're certainly straight forward!' At that moment, Tom and Sabine enter the hospital huffing and puffing like they just ran a marathon.
"Then let me be the donor! I can't lose her!" I start tearing up again. 'I just can't... she's... she's everything to me.'
"We'll have to see if you're the right type, and you'll have to have your arms free. Are you okay with that?"
"Anything!"
"What about you're identity?" I look at them in disbelief that they were asking that in this kind of moment while she's dying!
"I can zip this down with my bell, but only I can do it. So I don't care, even if I had to show you who I am! Just save her!"
"Alright, lets check your blood type quickly."

We run into the testing area, and while running, I zip down my suit and take out an arm so they can test. After a minute, we were running into the operating room to do the transfussion. 'Thank God! Plagg, for the love of god, I'll give you four cheese wheels if you stay for the whole thing.' I look over at Marinette the whole time they clean my arm and stick a needle in me and hook me up to the machine that will save her life. The whole time, she was looking more and more pale. 'I HAVE to save her.. I have to see her smile again, hear her laugh, her adorable stutter, and see her blush... I need to see all of it! I...'
"Okay Chat, how are you feeling?"
"I'll be better once she's conscience." I say, never breaking my eyes off of her.
"She needs you to relax right now so the blood can flow better," she hands me a ball I've seen other people use for blood drives, and tells me to do squeezes in a couple second incroments. I, of course do it a little faster just so she can get it quicker and live. Trust me, I got scolded a little bit. "We don't need you passing out now, do as we suggested."

About 5 minutes go by, and during that time, they're stitching up her cuts. Another 20 minutes go by; another 10. 'So much blood... I can't forget that sight.' I notice color coming back to her face, and I call for the doctors feeling a little light headed in doing so. They run in and notice the color in her face and blood flow getting slower. They unstick the needle from my arm and clasp the hose shut, letting the rest of the blood flow into her. They give me some juice and pudding as they bandage up my arm. I look over at Marinette before I go to the bathroom to let Plagg rest for a moment. I undo the transformation and give him a lot of cheese. Looking at the ground, I can't help but remember everything that just happened.

"Kid? That was risky, but you did the right thing." Plagg spoke softly so no one could hear him, careful not to use my name.
"Plagg... I-I almost l-lost her. If only I had gotten there earlier, this never would've ha-"
"Don't you dare blame yourself for this. It is not your fault, not even close. If it weren't for you, she would be dead!" he flies on my shoulder and places his tiny paw on my shoulder. "It'll be okay, kid, thanks to you." I look at him and start crying. He knows how worried I am for her, so he quickly eats his cheese and tells me to transform to go see her.

As I exit the bathroom resuited, I am hugged by Tom and Sabine tightly, with tears falling and thanks being said over and over.

"Chat, thank you so much for saving our little girl!" Sabine says, trying hard not to squeeze my donated arm too tight to restart the bleeding process over again. I hug them back knowing that I did what I had to do. No; what I NEEDED to do. The hug lasted for about 5 minutes and we learn Marinette is now in her room resting. The three of us went into her room to check on her before visiting hours were over. I didn't want to leave though. 'I should be with her.' Yet, while Tom and Sabine had to leave, I too had to. It wouldn't be fair to them if I got to stay and they weren't. She was their daughter after all. I gently squeeze Marinette's hand before leaving, giving a silent promise to come back tomorrow when she hopefully woke, but as Adrien. I walk out of the hosptial with Tom and Sabine walking close beside me, asking if I wanted to stay the night and come with them in the morning. I told them I sadly couldn't and that I had to get home. They understood and gave me one last hug for the night, and we went our separate ways. I walk across the rooftops, trying to think of something- ANYTHING to get my mind off of Marinette and everything I had thought of in that time. 'What would've happened if I didn't see her tonight? What would've happened if I had stayed there and never left? There was that akuma though, so I would've had to come up with an excuse for that. DAMMIT!' I run the final way to my house and jump through the window, letting Plagg free and grab the cheese I had promised him. I lie in my bed with too many thoughts to even have one coherent one. I look over at my phone to see multiple texts from Alya and Nino, asking if I knew anything about Marinette and why I wasn't responding. 'Her parent's must have told them.' I make a group chat so they both know at the same time.

A "Marinette... she is going to be fine now. I saw Chat Noir leaving the hospital shortly after I learned about it with a bandage around his arm. I think he gave her some of his blood."
Al "OH MY GOD! I can't believe this happened!"
N "I'm glad she'll be good now though... We should all go see her tomorrow morning! You guys free?"
A "I already planned on going."
Al "We should meet up then and go together."
N "Sounds good. 9am good?"
Al "Sounds good, babe! Adrien?"
A "Yeah, but I'll be bringing something for her, so I'll meet you in front of the hospital."
Al/N "Sounds like a plan. We'll see you there at 9."

That night had gone so slowly, and I barely got any sleep. Any sleep I got were just nightmares of what happened, until I finally went to sleep out of exaustion.
I woke up from the nightmare and look at the time, realizing it was 8:30. I quickly get out of bed, putting in a quick shower before I decide to wear a hoodie so no one could see the puncture wound on my vien and put two and two together. I grab Plagg who was still sleeping and put him in my inside pocket and ran out the door. I went to the garden my mother grew and took care of which I now took care of for her after her passing. Carefully cutting the stems, I make a somewhat decent boquet and tie a green and black ribbon around it. Finding a small vase to put them in, I add water and head towards the hospital where Alya and Nino were already waiting. They wave at me and compliment the flowers while Alya just nudges me on the side. She may not look it, but damn was she strong. We walk into her room, where her parents awaited us.
"Hey guys. It's nice to see you guys again," Tom said. "If only under better circumstances."
"It's always nice to see you," Sabine said, holding her husbands hands tight. "Oh, Adrien, are those for her?" She looks at the vase.
"Y-yeah, I picked them myself from my mother's garden. She would've let me for this anyways." I said sadly. Sabine takes the vase from my hands and sets them next to Marinette right on the windowcill.
"That was very sweet of you, Adrien. I know how much you love your mother and still cherish her." She said, giving me a gentle hug.
"Thanks, but it was the least I could do."
"You've done so much for her, especially standing up to Chloe like that." That's when I realized; CHLOE. She WOULD do something like this! She has the people to do this sort of thing! I quickly look at Alya and Nino, and led them out of the room.

"Hey dude, what's up?" Nino asked.
"CHLOE! She did this!" I bursted out.
"As much as I hate her, why would she?" Alya asked.
"Probably because she's crazy obsessed with me, and I've been spending time with Marinette!"
"Oh my god..." Nino gasped.
"That little bitch! She couldn't just leave her alone, could she?! She just had to push her this far!" Alya started crying.
"I got an idea, Adrien, but you're not going to like it." Nino spoke.
"What is it?"
"Now, Alya, I need to do exactly what I say. We need proof that she actually did it. So, what I was thinking was, Adrien, was call her and ease into her confessing." Alya and I look at thim in disbelief at his request.
"You want me to call her and have her confess to pretty much murder? Yeah, like she'll do that."
"I agree with Adrien, Nino. That is really unlikely."
"Now, hear me out: we all know she is crazy obsessed with 'Adri-kins' here," I shudder at that stupid nickname she gave me. "So, if he says if she confesses, you'll be her friend again. Only if she is telling the truth though, and if she confesses to her parents." I look at him jaw-dropped. It was unlikely, but we needed to find out.
"Well," I start to say.
"You can't honestly be considering this!" Alya shouted.
"Do you have any other ideas?" I see her smile evilishly.
"As a matter of fact, I do." Nino and I look at her questioningly.
"You all know I'm a techy, right? Well, we'll just hack into her phone's records. Then we'll have all the proof we need." Nino and I just look at each other wide-eyed.
"If we get caught, we're in huge trouble, you know this right?" I say quietly.
"Oh yeah, but I would do anything to see that bicth pay, and well, this is everything." I think about the two options and I decide to go with Alya's.
"Alright, Alya. Let's say something came up and we all had to leave. We'll go to my place since no one is there besides Gorilla. We're going to get to the bottom of this. Today.

'I will help you Mari. Til my death.'
