(Adrien's POV)

I don't know what I'm doing.

I got taken over by my emotions and let them get the best of me. I was doing okay with trying to hide my feelings but I just lost it. Before I know it, I'm leaning in to kiss Marinette. She has no reaction. Is she shocked? Mad? Uncomfortable? I know she has Luka and is in a relationship with him, but at this moment I decided to not care.

I know that makes me a bad person.

I acknowledge it. Before I can get a grip of myself and stop, the door of our hotel room opens and in comes Luka, who's holding a bouquet of red roses and has a smile on his face.

"Surprise!", he says, before dropping his arms after realizing what's going on.

Shit.

(Marinette's POV)

It's almost like I can feel my heartbeat in my stomach. I feel horrible. As soon as Luka realizes what's going on, his arms drop and he looks absolutely defeated. I want to throw myself off of a cliff right now.

Adrien lets go of my face and pulls away quickly. I stand up and try to walk to Luka to explain but he throws the flowers in front of my feet before I can go any further.

"This... this is what you've been doing for the past two days? Making me look stupid?", he says as his voice cracks.

I feel tears start to form in my eyes. The one and only thing I never wanted to do was hurt Luka. He's amazing and does everything for me. He doesn't deserve this, I'm a complete loser.

"N-No! Luka, please let me explain!", I beg.

I try to walk closer to him but he backs up. The tears start to roll down my face at a quick speed as he starts walking towards Adrien who's standing by the bed with a shocked and scared expression. He doesn't move. He's like a complete statue as Luka towers over him and looks down on him.

Before I know it, a punch is thrown and Adrien is on the floor.

I don't know what to do. I feel so stupid. This is all my fault.

"Luka! Stop!", I yell.

He ignores me and continues hitting Adrien. Adrien hit back once, but it was a low-impact hit and barely affected Luka.

After hitting Adrien maybe 4 times, he stands back up and wipes his eyes.

"We're over", he says with no hesitation and a low voice.

"Luka, please-"

He pushes past me and steps on the flowers as he walks out the door. The door closes with a slam and the room is left in complete silence. This all happened so quickly that I didn't even have a chance to react. Silent tears are rolling down my face quicker than I could blink. Everything I had for these past couple of months is gone. Absolutely gone.

My mind leaves that topic as I get down to the floor to see if Adrien's okay. He's just laying there with his eyes closed as if he's trying to process everything too. His lip and eyebrow are bleeding.

"I'm so sorry, Adrien. None of this should've happened. It's my fault", I say to him while trying to help him get up.

He shakes his head weakly.

"It's my fault. I tried to kiss you and I knew the consequences. Karma caught up with me", he replies while sitting on the bed and letting out a big breath.

The world is so crazy. Things can change in a matter of minutes, seconds even. We went from laughing about some stupid corn to being here in our room. Crushed roses scattered on the floor, some blood on it too, Adrien's face busted, and everyone's heartbroken.

We stay in absolute silence as I help Adrien fix his wounds. After doing that, I pick up the flowers and head to the bathroom just to catch a break. I'm so tired. I hurt the person who would do anything for me. I take a second to cry.

To let it out, after forever.

After crying a ton, I call Alya.

She picks up.

"Hey, girl! I thought you would be asleep by now! What's up?", she says.

"Can I stay in your room tonight? I can sleep on the floor, I don't care. I just don't want to be here", I say.

It feels like there's a giant ball in my throat. I can't even speak right without feeling like crying again.

"Are you okay? Of course, you can stay here. I'll set up something for you to sleep."

"Thanks, Alya. Love you a ton. I'll see you there in a second", I reply.

We say our goodbyes and I hang up the phone. I get up to look at myself in the mirror and I look like a mess. My eyes are puffy and irritated and I look like I just got ran over by a car going 90 miles per hour.

The only thing that matters to me right now is Luka. I need to find him, I need to explain.

Adrien, too. I need to talk to both of them.

I always hurt the people I love.

(Adrien's POV)

I feel dizzy. Almost like passing out. My lip and eyebrow stopped bleeding, but I still feel like I got freshly knocked in the face.

I feel so stupid. This is all my fault. Marinette continues to blame herself but it's all completely on me. She faced the consequences for my actions. I know I got punched in the face, but she got broken up with without any chance to explain. I have to apologize to Luka. It was my fault, not hers.

I feel even worse after hearing her sob in the bathroom for a solid 20 minutes non-stop. I can hear her call Alya, asking her if she can stay with her in her room. She wants nothing to do with me either.

What have I done?
