Back at the Agrest home...

Adrien went strait to his room once home, he didn't feel like dealing with Natalie or his father, Natalie, however, went to Gabriel and informed him that something seemed to be bothering Adrien.

So, Gabriel stopped what he was doing, and went up to his sons room. Where Adrien was sitting at his desk, trying to focus on his homework.

Adrien looked up when he heard his door open, he frowned at the sight of his father.

"If Natalie sent you up here to try and talk to me, you can save it, I'm not in the mood to talk to anyone, especially you." Adrien hissed.

Gabriel sighed, and took a seat on his sons bed.

"Are you deaf? I don't want to talk! What do you not understand about that?!" Adrien snapped.

"I can see that, and that's fine, you don't have to talk right now, if you don't want too. But, something is clearly bothering you. I'm willing to sit here and wait, until you are ready to talk." Gabriel replied.

Adrien rolled his eyes, and returned to his homework, hoping that if he ignored his father, he would eventually leave the room. Gabriel, however, was not gonna budge easily. He was ready to sit there the whole night, if that's what is was going to take, to show Adrien that he truly cared about him and wanted to be there for him, in his time of need.

Father and son, sat in silence for over an hour, Adrien glancing at his father every now and then, hoping he would take the silence as a hint and leave. But, to no avail, after another forty five minutes, Adrien had, had enough, he jumped up from his chair and faced his father.

"What is wrong with you? Did you not pick up that I was purposely ignoring you, so you would just give up and leave my room?!" Adrien snapped.

"Yes, that was very clear to me. But, I know something is bothering you. And as your father, it's my job to be there for you, when you are upset or hurting." Gabriel replied.

"Oh really?! Now all of a sudden you care about my pain and well being? Where were you the past year while mom was missing? I was in the worst pain I had ever been in, and you were no where to be found! You didn't care then, you don't care now! So, why are you still trying so hard?" Adrien asked

Gabriel sighed, "Adrien, I know I messed up when your mother went missing, I fully acknowledge that, and I understand I will never be able to show you how truly sorry I am for that. But, I still want to try and change things now. Why do you think I put us into therapy? Why do you think I'm willing to sit in your room for hours on end, even though you purposely ignore me? It's because I love you. And I truly am trying to pick up the pieces of our shattered relationship, and put back together what I can. I'm sorry, you are still unable to see that."

"You are delusional! All you've ever cared about is yourself and what's best for you! I'm sorry you were treated like garbage as a kid, but if you were just going to repeat the cycle, then mom should of just aborted me!" Adrien snapped.

Gabriel finally stood and faced his fuming son, "Don't say that, you are the best thing that ever happened to your mother and I, and you think this is repeating the cycle? I know I was neglectful this past year, but you think what you went through is anything like what I went through? I never put my hands on you, I never left you bruised and bleeding, making you feel like it was all your fault. You will never understand what I went through. You will never truly understand the pain I suffered for my entire childhood. So, don't you dare talk about me not breaking the cycle, I've been trying my best!" Gabriel replied.

"See? It's all about you! All about what you went through, all about how bad your childhood was! All about the pain you suffered! All about how much your trying! It's all about you! Why don't you go throw a pity party somewhere else? Cause I'm not in the mood to deal with it!" Adrien snapped.

Gabriel sighed, "I can see this isn't going anywhere. I do love you, son. And I really do want to change things between us. But, that isn't going to happen right now. So, if you want, I will leave you alone. And you know you can come talk to me when and if you ever want too."

"You don't love me, you never have! You are no better then your father! You are a monster just like him! I wish your father would of killed you during one of those beatings! So, you would of never grown up and had me!" Adrien hissed.

Almost as soon as those words left Adrien's mouth, he snapped out of his fit of anger, and even he couldn't believe what he had just said. Adrien looked into his fathers eyes, and he could see tears forming.

Gabriel finally let out a sad sigh, "Okay son, if that's how you truly feel, then I will leave and not bother you again. I'm sorry for interrupting you."

With that, Gabriel let his sons room.

Adrien stood there frozen for a moment, he couldn't believe he had just wished death on his

father. Yes, he had messed up and had not been the best father the past year. But, to wish death on him? Even Adrien knew that was one step too far.

Adrien sank back into his computer chair, feeling like the world had just crashed down on him. He could feel tears in his own eyes. Adrien looked over at a picture of his mother, that he kept on his computer desk.

"I'm sorry, marmee. I took it too far, dad was trying his best to fix things between us. And I think I just completely destroyed any chance we had left. I didn't mean what I said, I was just angry, but that's no excuse, dad will never forgive me, no matter how sorry I am. But...I am sorry, I-I'm so sorry..."

Adrien now had tears on his face, he buried his face and broke down crying. His heart shattered into piece's, that he wasn't sure could ever be put back together.

Okay, maybe not the best ending, but I do hope y'all enjoyed this chapter. I know Adrien was a little out of character in this chapter, but bare with me dear readers. It will all wrap back around soon enough. Until then, please remember to R&R, Blessings! Butterfly582
