My Past is a Blur by Summer Cheng

Chapter 16

  Marinette's  POV:

    I  saw him blush.

    I  blushed as well.

    I was confused and worried for him.

    I  realized he still held my hand.  Why?  It was not as if he owed it to me or anything.

   I   watched as he read the information in the files or forms that Nathalie had given him.

   I   knew it must be important from all the funny faces he made.

   I saw him grimace as if in pain.

  

   I knew the prognosis was not good.

   I also realized I could not just walk away.

    I loved him.

    I smiled a small weak smile.

    I  was surprised when his hand relaxed at my touch.

    It was as if he wanted me to reach out to him.

    Why?  Why me? I thought.

     I knew it was crazy, but I hoped he would not hate me.

      I   pondered what went on in that head of his.

      I    saw him wink at me.

    

     Whoa, did Adrien Agreste have a secret crush on me or something?

      I shook my head.

      I  rebuked myself silently.   

      Bad, Marinette.  No, he could not like me.

    Not when I was probably part of the reason he was like this.

      I blamed myself for all that happened.  

    Maybe, if I got there sooner, he would be himself.
