Where did you go?

30~ Alya

(Alya's POV)

It all happened so fast.

One minute Nadia Chamack was reporting the recent news on Paris's new akumatized villain... and the next second, breaking news comes in through all news channels.

'Cat Noir and Ladybug reported dead at Gabriel Agreste's mansion. True identities of the superheroes and Hawkmoth revealed'

I was in my room, watching the news on the fight. I stayed home because I didn't feel too well. Otherwise, I would've been there, recording every second of it.

Could I have helped them?

I wasn't there in the last seconds of my two favorite superheroes fighting for our city.

What hurt, even more, was when I find out who they were.

Sobbing already, the news switches back to the live coverage of the deaths. Two body bags being pulled out of the destroyed house. Behind them, Gabriel Agreste in handcuffs, being taken away by police officers. He was forced to renounce the akuma and the miraculous.

Two of my best friends died.

They were Cat Noir and Ladybug. The two people I looked up to the most were my best friends. I didn't even get to say goodbye. I don't even know if I hugged Marinette tight enough the last time I saw her.

Tom and Sabine.

I can't even imagine the feeling that they got when they were told that their daughter died while trying to protect all of us from harm.

Adrien's bodyguard.

He took care of Adrien like his own son. Adrien's stupid father couldn't even take care of his own child correctly.

It was exactly one week ago. I didn't leave my room for that entire time. Drowning myself in my own tears. Not eating a bite of food because of how sick I felt.

Now I'm at their funeral. The only reason I got up.

I'm sitting in the front, next to Marinette's parents and Adrien's bodyguard.

I wonder how they felt at that exact moment. Adrien realizing that his dad is the one that's been causing all of this harm. Both of their identities being revealed the second that they died.

I'm so sorry.

While in jail, Gabriel Agreste spilled everything. The way his assistant helped him the entire time. She got sent to jail too. They're both being sent to prison tomorrow. His wife, the one that he used the one wish for, ended up getting sent, too. Before she was put in a coma, it was revealed that she was using the miraculous in the wrong ways trying to benefit herself at the expense of others. That's all I heard and all I read. I don't give a crap about what happens to them. Freaks.

For as long as I live, they are going to stay in there for the rest of their miserable lives. I will make sure of it.

The more I think about it, the more I cry. I know Marinette wouldn't want me to be like this because of her. I know she and Adrien are okay now.

I'm just upset that it's not with me. Here. On Earth.

I wipe my tears and listen to another speech from one of my classmates. I look around.

Everyone's here.

Even Chloe.

I want to go up to her and slap her crazy just to get out some anger, but I know Adrien and Marinette would be disappointed in me if I did that.

Everyone deserves to be forgiven at some point.

"Alya, you're up next", Sabine says to me.

I nod and walk up slowly to the podium. Two caskets are behind me and rows of my friends and loved ones are in front of me.

I take a breath before starting to talk.

"Marinette and Adrien will never be forgotten. The two would risk their lives countless times, for all of us. Marinette was always so kind and the first to help someone if they needed it. She would always light up the room whenever she walked in. Adrien was always so respectful and genuine. He would do the exact same, he would jump at the opportunity to help or save someone. Always so giving. They will never be completely gone, they will always be in our hearts no matter what. The love that they had for each other was a lot to handle, but we all know that they loved each other more than they could express. From today on, I vow to myself to be a better person. To think of Marinette when someone needs cheering up. To think of Adrien when someone needs help. To become the people that they were before it was taken away from them. To appreciate the beauty of life while we have it", I say while tears are streaming down my face. "For them."

Everyone slowly starts clapping and I step off of the podium, about to get into full breakdown mode until a short, small man comes up to me.

"Hello, Alya", the man says to me with sad eyes. "I'm very sorry for your loss. Marinette would tell me a lot about you. I miss her and Adrien dearly, too".

"Thank you but, who are you?", I reply while wiping my nose.

"The guardian of the miraculous."
