Hi Marinette…
It's me again. How are you doing up there? Are you happy? Do you…miss us?
Do you even watch us from there? Knowing that we'll grow up and get married and have kids while you…stay the same age for the rest of your life? Does it hurt? Knowing that you can never come back?
Your funeral was today. I went but… I couldn't look at your dead body. I just couldn't do it. I couldn't find the courage to look at the beautiful soul I destroyed… Knowing that I'm the reason that you died… I don't have the right to look at your dead body. I walked outside past the church to the bench…and I cried. It felt like hours, even though it was only minutes… Even Chloe was there… She didn't cry…but it looked like she was going to.
Why was I even allowed to go to your funeral? Your parents invited me to go, but they don't even know that I'm the reason that you're gone. They don't know that their daughter was taken away from the cat themed superhero of Paris.
I haven't even turned into Chat Noir since you left… how would I be able to fight akumas knowing that I won't see you coming? Fighting without you isn't the same anymore…
Master Fu decided to give someone else your earrings… but I don't want to fight crime with anyone but you…
Tell me how to move on, Marinette. I don't know what to do anymore. How can I forget that fatal night? How can I forget when I'm the one who caused it? I can still see you pulling the trigger…me telling you to not do it. The hot tears that went down your eyes as you whispered goodbye… The blood that pooled out of your head as I cradled your dead body.
Do you remember that night? The night you told me that you couldn't do it anymore? The night that you didn't know would change all of us?
I miss your smile. The one that would make me smile every time I was feeling down? Do you still smile that same smile? Once I go to heaven…will you save that smile for me? I want to see it again…
Can you make me a promise up there Marinette? Would you…
Would you welcome me with open arms? Or look at me as the broken man I am now? Do you think differently of me because I couldn't help you? Do you see me as the helpless pathetic loser who couldn't even tell that his best friend was depressed?
I didn't know…I didn't know how you felt. And because of that, it destroyed you. It tore you up inside until…until you decided to take your own life. I wish I saw the signs…
Marinette…I'm so sorry. I wish I could bring you back. I have one more question for you…
If I had saved you, would you still be here today? Once I get up there…
I'll ask you.
Love,
Adrien Agreste
Penguin: I hope you enjoyed the second part. I'm not sure if I'll do a third part yet, so please don't ask. Bai!
