He's Not That Bad

Chapter 29 - Phone Call

Alyas pov

       After Nino and I left the hospital, I had a bad gut feeling about something. I wonder what it could be.. Nino walked me home, then dropped me off and planted a goodbye kiss on my lips. We went on his way, and I went back inside my house then made my way to my bedroom. I didn't really sleep at all that night, I just layed away thinking. Is it Nino? Is he going to leave me? Is there someone else? Does he love someone else? Did he fall out of love? No, no Alya. It's not Nino. Nino loves you. Maybe it's Marinette? Did she lose interest in being my friend? No Alya, she adores and cares for you endlessly.

And then it hit me. "Adrien" I whispered to myself as I put the pieces together. It made total sense. He's in a coma, the dreams Marinettes been having, the death, the CPR, everything.. was he going to die? Or maybe... Amnesia. He's going to get amnesia if I'm correct. I thought. Then the gut feeling became stronger. It kept getting stronger and stronger as I drifted to sleep.

"Where am I?" I thought as I opened my eyes and looked around. I was at the hospital with Adrien, Marinette, and Nino. Marinette was crying and Adrien was looking at us confused. "I'm sorry I don't remember anything you guys, especially you, Marinette." Adrien said, visibly feeling guilty. "Don't be, it'll be okay. You'll remember everything. You'll remember." Marinette said smiling through choking sobs. He smiled back at her and raised a hand to her cheek, wiping away her tears. "I must've been very lucky to have a girl as gorgeous as you are" Adrien said softly to my bluebell eyes best friend. She sadly smiled at his words. "I was the lucky one. You were very cold to everyone, and to be honest an asshole. But you always had a soft spot for me, even though you tried to hide it" Marinette said with a few chuckles.

"This isn't real guys. This is a dream." I finally spoke. The two turned to me confused. "Alya what are you talking about?" Marinette asked confused. "Adrien you're not going to get amnesia. You're going to wake up and be fine." I said looking at the confused blond. "I'm sorry Alya, but I don't think this is a dream" Adrien said hesitantly. I shook my head angrily and stood up. "No! Marinettes been having these crazy dreams and now I am too! No! You're going to be fine." I yelled angrily. Marinette jumped taken aback by what I just said. Adrien turned to Marinette confused and she nervously laughed. "Alya I haven't been having any weird dreams, can we please talk about this later?" Marinette asked. I shook my head and sighed angrily. "This is just a dream. It's just a dream." Was the last thing I thought before I jolted awake, looking around my room to make sure I was at home.

"I have to go see Marinette" I said aloud to no one. I looked at my clock. 7:56am. I immediately got out of bed and got dressed, then grabbed my phone and texted Marinette to stay at the hospital and that I was on my way.

Marinettes pov

        I was scrolling my social medias when I got a funny text from Alya. I'm on my way to the hospital, so don't leave. I have something important to tell you about. It read. I replied with an okay, then decided to put my phone down until Alya arrived. Soon enough Alya arrived and came in my room, shutting the door behind her. "I had one of the weird Adrien dreams." She said seriously. My eyes widened and my jaw dropped. "wait what?" I said confused. "I had this weird gut feeling when I left the hospital yesterday, and I just had one of those dreams when I fell asleep. Do you think it's a sign or just us freaking out?" Alya said nervously in reply. I didn't know what to think. How should I react? "I.. I don't know. Mama told me that dreams are just made up of things that have occured throughout our days or things we've thought about, so it could just be a coincidence." I said softly. At this point, I was practically begging that he wouldn't get amnesia.

Alya invited Nino and we all talked for awhile before deciding to go out for some I've cream. The walk there was nice, the weather was just right, with just enough of a breeze to lightly low my hair. André was more than happy to see us, as he gave us out ice cream. We were on the lock fence bride, so we decided to sit at the edge of the water that was calmly flowing under it. I found comfort right there, for the first time since Adrien's been gone. It's been about a week and a half now, almost every night I've had a dream about him dying, having amnesia, or the fire. I finally felt free, content with myself. I was still wearing his hoodie, and I could still smell him. The smell of him just added to my nice morning, well now it was about afternoon. We were all talking and laughing, when Luka strolled by and decided to join us.

He played us some of his newer songs, which all sounded beautiful. He also told all of us about how Kitty Section was coming out with a new album that would be out by next month, and that they're having a concert at the part the day before to preform it live. We all congratulated him and told him we'd be there, but we all got silent when my phone began ringing. I froze and felt the color drain from my face as I slowly picked it up. It was from the hospital.

"Hello, this is _____ hospital, is this Marinette Dupain-Cheng?" The kind lady asked as I put my phone on speaker.

"Yes this is her"

"Hello Marinette, we would like to inform you about Adrien Agreste. Would you like to come down in person?"

"Uh could you give me just a minute?"

"Yes, I'll stay on the line"

"Awesome, thank you" I said before pressing the mute button. Everyone looked at me confused. "They've never told me this before, they've always said they wanted to update me on him, they never asked me to go down in person" I said shakily. "We should probably go in person then, it's probably serious" Alya said. I nodded in agreement, then pressed the unmute button. "I'll be down in about 1p minutes, does that work?" I asked.

"Yes that's perfect! See you soon." The lady said hanging up the phone.

Luka decided to tag along with us, so we all began walking towards the hospital silently. I was dreading the feeling I had in my gut.
