I can't believe myself. I had my chance and I failed. Alya was screaming in my face and all I did was stand there, motionless, my mind frozen in fear of losing anything or anyone else. This wasn't how I imagined any of it. I turned, I started running. I had already lost Cat Noir, I couldn't lose Adrien too. We're meant to be, but I'm beginning to think it's only me that sees it. I was panicking. Adrien was calling me. I fumbled with my phone, tears running down my face as I tried to answer. My phone died and I could have sworn everyone in New York City could hear my cries. I grabbed a lost bike on the side of the road and threw myself on. I don't know what was going through my mind. All I heard was a slip and I slammed onto the dirty streets screaming his name, hoping he'd hear me, begging to admit my love. I didn't realize I loved him this much until I was this close to losing him.

When we got back to Paris I went straight home. No ice cream from Andre's, no visit to the park, no... nothing. I felt like a piece of me had been torn out. I needed to tell Adrien if it's the last thing I do. Like Alya said, he wanted me to tell him to stay. I was just too scared to ask him.

His photo shoot would be ending at five o'clock. I needed to be there at 4:45, before his bodyguard or nanny had time to park their car. I was going to get it right this time. No tripping over my words.
