The Next Day...

Adrien sat at his desk at school next to Nino, not really paying attention to the noise and chatter happening around him. Nino, finally noticed how quite Adrien was being.

"Hey man, is everything okay? Did you have another fight with your old man?" Nino asked.

"Huh? Oh, no, nothing like that, we haven't really fought in a few months." Adrien replied.

"Well, that's good at least, is therapy finally helping?" Nino asked.

Adrien shrugged, "I don't know, honestly I feel like my father is making therapy all about himself, and I'm kind of just an after thought, but what else is new?"

"What do you mean? I thought your dad dragged you there to help fix your's two relationship?" Nino asked.

"That's what I thought too, but then all of a sudden my dad just happen to open up about his past and now that's what consumes most of his therapy time. So, like I said, he's making it all about himself...again." Adrien replied.

Nino gave his friend a concerned look, before finally sighing...

"Maybe...maybe your being a little too hard on your old man? I know this whole therapy thing was for the both of you. But, don't you think it's good he's getting the help he needs, so he can maybe be a better father to you?"

"Oh, what? Now you feel bad for my dad? He's never going to be a good father! He hasn't been one in a long time! So, why would he start now?!" Adrien snapped.

"I don't know man, I mean, why would he go through all of this if he didn't want to at least make an attempt?" Nino asked.

"What do you know?! You know nothing! You have parents who love you! So, you wouldn't understand any of this! So, stop trying to make me feel bad for my dad! He lost all my symphony a long time ago!" Adrien snapped back.

The room suddenly fell silent, and all eyes were now on the two boys, Adrien finally got up and left the room in a huff.

Alya leaned over her desk, tortes her boyfriend.

"Babe, what was that about? What did you do?"

"I didn't do anything. I was just trying to talk to him about his dad and about everything their going through. But, I guess I hit a soar spot!" Nino exclaimed.

"Well, maybe he's still not ready to really talk about things with his dad, he's going through a lot." Marinette chimed in.

"Yeah, I know you mean no harm, but we don't really understand what he's going through with his dad. So, maybe just give it time, and eventually Adrien will come around about wanting to talk about all he's been going through." Alya replied.

Nino sighed, "I'm just worried about him, I mean I know his old man can be a stick in the mud, but he's all Adrien has left. I just wonder if Adrien has come to see that yet."

"Maybe not right now, but I'm sure he'll come around eventually, it's just going to take time, after everything they went through recently." Marinette replied.

"I just wish there was more we could for for, Adrien. He's my best bud, I hate seeing him suffer." Nino replied.

"Just being there for him is the best thing we can do. So, he always knows no matter what's happening in his life, he has a support system around him, and people he can talk too about whatever." Alya replied.

Nino nodded, "You're right, he'll come around...I hope."

Meanwhile outside...

Adrien walked out of school and tortes the family car, where Natalie was waiting for him.

"Hello Adrien, how was your day?"

Adrien ignored Natalie and just climbed into the back of the car. Natalie climbed into the passenger seat and looked back at Adrien.

"Adrien, is everything alright? Did something happen at school today?" Natalie asked.

"I don't want to talk about it, Natalie! Just take me home!" Adrien snapped back.

Natalie sighed, but turned back around, and the car headed off. Adrien stewed the whole ride home.

"Nino is crazy, things between my father and I will NEVER be the same, I haven't had a father in a long time. So, why would things be different now? None of them understand, no one understands. I have no one! But...what's new? I'm use to being alone in this world...that's never going to change."
