Child hood friends

crumbling

. . . Marinette POV. . .

I woke up in my room at the Manor. Today is the day of the gala. I can't wait. To bad this weekend, I'll have to return to Paris with my class. The Gala is on a Friday. Lila was lieing up a storm today about how she is going to wear an Nettie original to the Gala. Which isn't possible unless it is second hand. I'm also pretty confident that my clients wouldn't get rid of an Nettie original. That was my school day along with turning down a bunch of people as me and Demon have kept our relationship secret. We are going to reveal that we are dating tonight at the Gala.

We arrived at the Manor at about three thirty. The Gala starts at five. The suit I made Damian is light for the warmer weather, it is mainly black with hints of green along with a tie. My dress to match him has one half sleeve of vines. The dress itself is an unevan bottom that is about knee length. It looks like a freshly bloomed red rose, with green detailing where it needs it.

It was now four forty five ish and I left my room to find My Demon. I didn't put on my red tinted lip gloss yet. I wanted to kiss my Demon. I also only put on my mascara and a little bit of eyeshadow. His back was to me so his brothers seen me first Dick whipped out his phone and started recording.

Demon heard me and turned around. He froze like a deer in head lights. His eyes grew dark with desire. I felt my cheeks turn pink. In a few swift movements he had me in his arms. Just as fast as he wrapped me up in his arms he captured my lips with his. A deep slow passionate kiss. Remembering his brothers are in this hallway with us I broke off our kiss. He seemed to realise this to as he let me go but still kept one arm around my waist.

Dick put his phone away. We talked for a while and slowly walked to the ball room, to be announced. It was now 5:30 everyone should be here by now. "Now introducing the Wayne boys. Richard Grayson, Jason Todd, Timothy Drake, and Damian Wayne with his girlfriend Marinette." The crowd immediately fell silent at the news that the youngest Wayne now has a girlfriend. Then I heard the whispers of the crowd "That is Gotham's ray of sunshine." We soon joined the sea of people.

Jagged stopped by me as well as Clara, the Kent's, Prince Ali, Diana Prince, and others. I was having a blast, me and my Demon even danced. The food was delicious. At around 7 my Demon led me to his family which were gathering around. All of them in the same spot for the first time tonight. What are they up to? I glanced at my Demon and he was smirking. The Kent's were taking photos and videos all night for stories. They sett up a camera what was the bat fam planning on doing, and in front of the media for that matter. Bruce walked up the grand staircase there was a huge screen at the top. The stairs acted like a stage. His voice echoed through the room from the mic he held. Soon the whole room was silent.

"I will admit I knew my son's were up to this, and I helped when and with the things they asked me to. Most Galas I host are family friendly but because of the pure evil of this presentation this one is not. If you do not like violence I must insist that you leave the room when you get uncomfortable. The doors to the gardens are open. Alfred well notify everyone once it is over if they chose to leave. With that being said, my boys would like to begin."

My Demon was still holding my hand. He led me up the stairs with his brothers we passed Bruce and he handed the mic to Dick. We soon reached the top. Dick began.

"Alright so we planned this as a surprise for Marinette because she is to kind for her own good and we believe she needs some sort of justice." He passed the mic to Tim.

"As the genius I hacked into security footage of and around Blueberry's school." He passed the mic to Jason.

"I sorted through it as I have seen bad things but this even made me sick. I tried to get the point across without all of the harsher stuff." He passed the mic to Damian.

"To make sure the world knows how horrid thease people are the Kent's are recording us live right now. So Marinette's class please come stand at the bottom of the stairs we got seats saved just for you." he passed the mic back to Jason. Jason waited patiently till every member of my class took the seat with there name on it.

The Kent's slowly moved the camera across each one of them making sure to capture their faces. It aimed back at us. I squeezed my Demon's hand tighter. I was nervous. I don't know what is happening. I just know my class will hate me even more. On top of that what if I must return to Paris with them. They wouldn't hesitate to kill me.

Sensing my fear my Demon pulled me into his side. Greatfully I moved closer into him. The lights dimmed and the screen turned on. It read in bold black letters on a plain whit background 'Lila Rossi's first day' then it started to play just the lies on her first day. Lady bug outting her in front of Adrein. Another white screan said 'as the year continues' it showed Adrein telling her to take the high road, even more lies.

Her framing me. My friends turning against me. The glares at first. Then the tripping. Next the names that got worse and worse. The first time they beat me up. I could hear some people leave. Then it quickly skimmed through beating after beating. Stopping a moment longer on any thing used besides there fists.

Then what they told my parents to get me kicked out. I broke then and there. All they had to tell them was 'she is beating up lila' and showing them pictures of lilas fake bruises. After that they just needed a little push. 'Where do you think she is now?' A long fake story later they left. It showed the times and dates in the corner. So at the same time it showed me sitting in my favorite place sketching not doing what my class said I was doing.

It skipped to when I got home. My parents disowning me. The beatings that never stopped. Where my new apartment was. Lastly the viral video of me outside of Gotham academy. The lights slowly turned back on. My Demon looked down at me. He was surprised at how much I was crying so I spoke nearly above a whisper. "That's all it took for when to kick me out? It wasn't even a convincing lie." I stated voice cracking. " I just. I just though that it was something more than that. But that was all it took. That was all it took for my parents to believe her." I looked up at my Demon I could feel the tears pouring down my face. I needed him to confirm it though. One glance into his eyes and I knew it was true. I buried my face into his chest. One of his hands were rubbing circles on my back, the other was on my head holding my face against his chest. I blocked out the rest of the world.

. . . Damian POV . . .

What got her was what little it took for her parents to kick her out. That stupid class was standing now and yelling at each other. There was an angry buzz around the whole room. Most on the phone with lawyers. Back in Paris they will be in for a shock. It was already broadcasted live, now it just needs to be translated. Then her parents will be crushed. The lawsuits will be delivered on Monday because they return to Paris on Saturday.

My Angel had stopped with the shuddering breathes. She most be done crying. I pulled away enough to look into her eyes. Right then and there I announced our early departure. My Angel needs rest after a day like this. We stopped at her room and she got ready for bed. We then continued to my room. While I got ready she slipped under the covers. When I joined her I pulled her close, she snuggled in deep.

The next day she was adopted by Jagged Stone. Her class never bothered her again. Blah blah blah happily ever after.

Someone wanted a sequel so I will make bonus chapters just comment what you want to see.

Also I have more Damianette books
