Chapter Twenty Five: His Broken Melody

(A/N: Still failing history HAHAHAH- but seriously its giving me anxiety to look at my grades- I swear I'm somewhat smart-)

TY GUYS FOR 5K❤️😩✨

Luka's POV

I sighed sniffling near the love-lock bridge.

In Paris and around the world it was tradition to put you and your soulmate's names once you found each other on the bridge.  Using a padlock-to lock your love eternally.

Soulmates... what a bunch of bullshit.

The thoughts of last night's morning flashed through my mind.

There was nothing I wanted to do more than kiss Marinette-Nothing I wanted to do more.

But the last thing I wanted to do was hurt Marinette. 

I wasn't gonna hurt both of us in the process if we ever did get together. I was just the second choice.

What would have happened if we made out on my bed? It wouldn't fix the fact that Marinette still loved her boyfriend and had broken up with him after two years less than twenty four hours prior-

I needed to be sure...

And-

I clutched onto my ripped jeans- digging my fingers through the holes.

She didn't love me.

"WE MAY BE SOULMATES BUT I LOVE HIM NOT YOU!"

Those were the words she told me at the dance when I snuck into the girls bathroom like a pervert.

I sighed opening my phone to see a bunch of missed messages from Marinette and Juleka. 

Juleka was in the other room on the boat when everything went down-awkward I know-but she didn't interfere.  I was thankful for that.

My phone dinged cutting off my thoughts as I was about to read Marinette's messages.

It was another Instagram post from Adrien- the only reason I started following him on that account in the first place was to-to see photos of Marinette.

Ugh. I shivered. What had I become?

Don't blame me! He had a lot of cute photos of her-and at the time I told myself I was only following him so that he wouldn't figure out we were soulmates-

Yeah... looking back that is one of the most bullshit excuses I've ever heard.

I sighed looking at the Instagram photos. 

Marinette had seen them too right before I came into her room with breakfast.  I saw her eyes tear up- and I couldn't bear to see her cry again.

Most of the pictures he posted last night were of him and Kagami.

I knew he was grieving over her drunken speech, the breakup, and finding out that we were soulmates but-

I looked back at the pictures of him making out with Kagami.

Gross.  He was just using her as a second cho-

I sighed.  I was Marinette's second choice too... wasn't I? 

Looking down at my feet the reflection of the water was cast down on me.

I smiled at the memories Marinette and I had on the houseboat together.

Like that one time I held her in my arms as we watched the sunset.

I sighed. Like she'd ever love me like I loved her.
