He's Not That Bad

Chapter 24 - Visiting

Marinettes pov

        I looked up and began reaching for the door nob. I didn't turn it once I grabbed it, I kind of just stared at it for a second. I slowly turned it, and pushed the door open. And then I saw him. Laying in that hospital bed, in a coma, with machines and tubes hooked up to him. Bandages covered his body in multiple places, but the one that caught my attention most was the one on his head. I slowly walked in the room, dreading each step. Alya pulled over a chat and sat it next to his bed for me to sit in.

I sat down and stared at him silently, before my eyes slowly filled with tears that began spilling over. "Alya, would you mind leaving me alone with him for a few minutes?" I asked, keeping my gaze on my boyfriend. "Of course, let me know if you need anything" Alya said in response, then with the click of the door closing I knew it was just him and I. I began heavily sobbing silently until it turned into me bawling hard. I grabbed his hand with mine and intertwined our fingers.
"Stupid cat. Stupid stupid cat." I muttered under my sobs.

Adrien's pov

       This place is so fucking boring. What even is there to do? I can't believe that this happened. All I wanted to do was save people, not end up killing myself! But I guess helping others comes with a price sometimes.. I hope Mari is doing okay.. I really miss her.. I wonder why she hasn't visited me yet? Is she mad at me? Is she too upset? Is she blaming herself? I really hope she's handling this okay. But now this all leaves me thinking.. will I remember this when I wake up? Am I going to forget everything? My questions were all forgotten when I heard some talking outside of my room. "He's still in a coma, we've figured out he could be in a coma for as little as two weeks up to a year." I could hear an unfamiliar voice say, though it was muffled due to the walls. I'm sorry, what?! A YEAR?!?! No. No way in HELL I'm staying here for a goddamn year. I have to wake up. I have to figure out how. How do I wake up? My thoughts were erased again when I heard more talking. "You ready girl?" I heard muffled through the walls again. Was that.. Alya? I listened in to see what else I could hear. After a solid minute or so, I heard my door click open, then it stayed silent. I waited and listened hard, then I heard light steps. I heard someone else in the room move something next to my bed. Before I could even think of what it could be, I heard a bit of shuffling. It was probably a chair, and someone was probably sitting down in it.

"Alya, would you mind leaving me alone with him for a few minutes?" I heard Marinette say quietly. Marinette! She's here! Shes.. she's here!! "Of course, Let me know if you need anything." Then I heard my door click shut again. All I heard for a minute or so we're some choked silent sobs, then I heard her bawling. This sucks. I'm sitting right here, listening to her crying, and I can't do anything about it. "Stupid cat. Stupid stupid cat." I heard her mutter under her breath. I could feel her interlocking my fingers with mine. So badly I wanted to just sit up and grab her and tell her how much I loved her. But I can't. I want to tell her how I am a stupid cat. I want to hold her hand and go on that picnic. With all the strength and might I had left in me, I moved my fingers to hold her hand a little. It didn't last long, but I was able to softly grasp her hand for a minute, and it was easier to do than moving my finger yesterday.

I heard her stop crying for a second after I did. "Oh my god, Adrien! Can you hear me? If you can hear me, do your best to show me some how. Like move your finger or something. If you can't then I'll probably talk anyways.. but it would be a huge relief" I heard her say. Okay. I can do this. I just need to focus. Focus Adrien. Just move your finger. Did I do it? I think I did it. Let me try again just to make sure. I heard her slightly giggle and sigh happily. "Thank you. I'm relieved to know you're still with me." She said softly. She lightly picked up my hand and planted a soft kiss on it.

"I love you so much Adrien. So so much." She whispered to me before kissing my hand again. "I love you too" was the last thing I thought before I lost all consciousness. My hearing slowly went out, but the last thing I heard was a painful heart breaking scream, and a call for help.
