Her hands shook uncontrollably as she read the test once, twice. This wasn't right, the two pink lines shouldn't be there. He promised her he was safe, then again he promised a lot of things. How could she look after a baby when her heart was in tatters? When she hadn't even finished school? When she had the whole of Paris to save?
Crying, Marienette chucked the pregnancy test into the bin and looked in the mirror. Her face was red and puffy from the tears, sick still hung on the edge of her mouth from this morning. Wiping it off, the bluenette sighed, she was a joke. Her parents would hate her, they wouldn't want to see her again.
Memories of that night came back to her mind.
"Chat are you okay?" Marienette asked, the leather-clad hero looked at the ground.
"I feel like I'm loosing her," Chat answered.
"Who?"
"Ladybug,"
The words stung around her heart and gripped it tight. Maybe it was emotions, maybe it was what they both secretly wanted, Marienette kissed him once, he returned it with another. Things went on as they often do until they did... it.
The next morning regret hung in the air. Chat was gone, no note, no goodbye, nothing. Marienette curled into a ball and cried helplessly. Did he hate her that much he couldn't even speak to her? Granted it would be awkward, but this- this was just plain rude. And she wasn't going to kid herself, the night was amazing, better than she imagined it would be.
He didn't visit anymore after that night, it hurt her more than she let on. Subtle differences arose at first, waking up early, smiling less, frowning at things she wouldn't usually do so at. Alya noticed and did everything available in her power, but you cannot fix a broken heart with cat videos- especially when the heartbreak is from one.
The teen slung on her headphones and played a song from P!nk 'Chaos and Piss', she thought the song accurately described her current situation well.
'I thought that you were driving, but you've given me the wheel,'
Mari began to design an outfit, trying to take her mind off things.
'There's rain clouds out there, that you don't wanna feel'
The rain splattered onto her balcony, she went up to take down her washing.
'Your angers like a razor blade, its just too bloody real'
She threw the clothes indoors and slumped outside in the heavy rain.
'I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it'
Marienette watched the Eiffel tower and wished he was there.
'Hey I also feel things more than I should'
She shuddered as a raindrop splattered onto her forehead.
'I don't relax very often, as often as I should'
The thought of being Ladybug made her muscles tense.
'I worry how the whole thing looks, it doesn't look good'
The raven haired girl looked to her stomach, and sighed.
'But I thought that you would be here, no I just don't get it
And being clear gets too much for me, just like it does for you
Even though I want to, I want to, I don't'
All her emotions combined into one as she felt the need to shout her life out, hopefully to get his attention. Luckily, there was still some sanity left in her.
"I don't feel like calming down, no I don't
I don't feel like hiding out, so I won't
I can't turn the volume down, so I sit here in this
Chaos and piss, watching the storm passing
Storms are beautiful, right here it's beautiful"
Marienette sang the chorus quietly, not to gather attention. All her hatred came out into one and her mind cooled. The music stopped and she got out her phone, it was out of battery. Her shivers forced her inside, it may be unplanned but she would give her baby the best life.
With no one from this life in it.
Other than Alya and her parents, no one else had the right to know.
A single note was on her parents table, along with the test. Another was on Alya's door. Marienette packed a small bag, filled it with money that she had received as Ladybug, and then left. Tears streamed down her face as she headed to the train station. A text came through from Alya.
'I'll beat that hero black and blue'
A small smile crept to her lips and she replied.
'Just don't make a scene'
It was a couple of seconds before the next text came through.
'I will look after things here for you'
The train rolled into the station.
'I will come back when I can for visits, I'm moving to a small village near Paris'
She turned off her phone and entered the train, her bag in tow. Marienette's heart stopped as she looked up to see a certain blonde smiling at her, ashamed she turned away- much to his confusion.
"Going somewhere?" He asked.
"You could say that," Mari mumbled.
"Cool have fun," Adrien said.
"Goodbye Adrien," Marienette responded sadly," I'm going away for the better,"
"Huh?"
"Don't worry, just live your life," Mari replied, trying to regain composure.
"You're not making sense," He rebuffed.
"Not many in my situation do," She joked, this puzzled him more," Like I said goodbye,"
Marienette jumped off the train and went to the next stop. A giant poster of Chat Noir was hung above, she winced and turned away from it. It would be the last time he would see her, it was for the best. Her stomach lurched as sickness crept back to her. The only thing close enough to throw up in so she ran to a bin. Mostly everything she had eaten came out of her, it hurt.
A small shop was located on the station, she purchased a bottle of water and a muffin. After eating, the pain stopped. Mari's train rolled into the station and she clambered onto it.
Safely seated, her mind wandered about what the future held for her. Was it going to be good? Who knew.
First chapter guys!
There may be more songs in this in the future, we will have to see. I just think this one suited the situation that Marienette was in well. Heck, I love this song.
I am a major P!nk fan, not just her recent stuff but I like the older songs to (Slut like you, don't let me get me, there you go, Dear Mr President)
Anyway please review, I wanna know if I did good.
