Freedom

A/N: Fan art was made by one of my friends @TealEnvy Thank you so much, I love it. I hope you all love it just as much as I do.

"Doug?" She hasn't seen them in a long time. Their style was completely different. Their hair was now a lighter brown and a deeper teal color in their eyes. Of course, they still had their signature glasses, round gold wireframes. Another new thing was that they had long cyan chains around their neck.

"Hi, your mom called me in to talk to you."

"Right. I just. I need to let everything out but I don't want to in front of my family and friends. I don't know how to cope with any of this and it's time I should talk about it and maybe get some freedom back."

"Of course. I'll just sit here and listen. Don't worry, nothing you say will get relayed back to anyone." Marinette nodded and took in a deep breath.

"Um so I want to start at the beginning, from Luka to now. Our entire relationship was good until one day after school he trapped me in a closet and tried things but I don't really remember it much. I-I couldn't do anything and I didn't dare say anything in fear he'd do it again. A week later was the first time he did it."

"Did what?" Mari knew that she had to say the word that she hated to hear.

"The first time he.....raped me. After that, it just kept happening and I became numb to it. It stopped bothering me and I just expected it to happen. I know I never ever gave consent and yet everytime it felt like I did, even though I knew I didn't. About a month after I ended up becoming pregnant and he forced me to.....abort it. After he made me take birth control and even told my parents that it'd be a good idea for me to take it. I didn't know how to cope with everything after he left and I pretty much turned into him. I hated that I turned into that person. Every night I would have flash backs, nightmares, and panic attacks. They only way I could make them stop was if I just slept with someone. It became my unhealthy way of coping. But then Adrien came along and helped me. He's helped stop almost every flashback any nightmares. Sure I have Alya but it just wasn't the same with her. She couldn't just drop everything and leave in the middle of the night. With Adrien everything felt right. Nothing about him was wrong. We got into a fight and I accidentally called him.....Luka. I-I didn't mean to say that. I know he says it was okay and that I only said it due to my trauma but I still feel horrible to this day about it. After there was the whole thing when I was kidnapped when I got my concussion. I was just abused there, right after the whole alley situation where Adrien's cousin tried to rape me. The people who took me were a part of his team. I have dreams and nightmares almost every night and anytime I try to do something with Adrien I always get scared too at first. I always want to say no.....but I get scared and think he'll be like Luka too. Then I got pregnant but during an akuma I was hit and-and.....lost it. I didn't even know I had it."

"Mari I'm so sorry."

"I want to hurt myself right now T, really badly but I won't. I've done it before and I regret it. I don't want to die anymore because of the people around me and then the possibility of me becoming pregnant again and I'm excited for that. I just want someone to talk to about this and not worry my family or friends. Please don't tell my mom any of this!"

"I won't Marinette. How about we do a weekly appointment and hopefully you'll get better. If you want, call me any time."  Marinette nodded and after Doug left, she felt better. It was nice to get everything off her chest. She didn't even realize they were talking for over two hours. She guessed that she took so many pauses to sob and just to think. She just ranted to them. She heard them talking downstairs and prayed that they didn't say anything to her parents.

Her mom came up and asked if she was okay. Her mom told her that Doug didn't say anything and that neither she nor Tom wanted to know what Mari said. After her parents left her room she just laid in bed, thinking about what she told Doug. Before she knew it she heard more voices downstairs and recognized that voice as Adrien's. Soon after he opened the door to her room and walked in.
