The next morning Alya and Marinette moved together to the bathroom while the boys did still sleep. "Mari, can I ask you something?" Alya softly asked and looked in the eyes of Marinette in the mirror. Marinette nodded and said "Since when are you asking me this before asking? You are my best friend Alya so please go ahead."

Alya needed to smile but this smile faded quickly into a worried look. "Nino said 'we can skip the last part' yesterday. I agreed but I want to know what happened last." Marinette turned Alya her way and looked in her brown eyes with the soft but serious tone "Alya, are you sure? Even Nino didn't want to talk about that and also Adrien did not want to hear it". Alya nodded and hugged Marinette with the words "Please I need to know it. I was not able to sleep last night."

Marinette guided Alya to the toilet to sit on. Alya was looking confused to Marinette who squatted down and looked in Alya's eyes once more and asked "Short or long?" "Spare the details and tell me what happened" Alya said with a worried face and a mixed expression of fear and curiosity.

"You remember the fight in front of the school between Adrien and Nino?" Marinette asked while holding Alya's hands who nodded. "This was just the beginning. In the end Nino was so angry and fired up with the three of us that he..." Marinette stopped mid sentence and looked at Alya who had tears in her eyes. "Tell it to me please." Alya begged.

Marinette wiped a rolling tear from Alya's cheek and said with a chuckle "Good that you did not apply the makeup so far." Alya needed to laugh and Marinette continued "One evening Adrien was at your place. Nino used the spare key to your flat to 'surprise' you two and it ended badly for Adrien and you." Alya interrupted Marinette "How bad?" Marinette only shook her head.

"Oh that's bad I see." Alya said, watching the knees of Marinette. "After that he came to me with the statement 'I need to talk'. I was happy about this because I wanted Nino somehow back to be as normal as possible." Marinette explained and took a deep breath before continuing "My parents went to dinner night with friends. Right when I opened the flat door and saw Nino I knew 'talking' was not what he wanted."

Alya looked at Marinette with more tears on her cheeks and saw that Marinette forced a smile and said "I am sorry Alya." Alya shook her head and said quietly "Thank you. Can you tell me how bad it was? I mean what he did to Adrien, you and me." Marinette shook her head and said "No Alya I will not tell you the details of it, ok? It is way too dark and brutal. This is a memory I will never share with Adrien or you. You, Nino and Adrien are my closest friends and if I tell you this it will never be undone."

Marinette added softly while noticing tears rolling down her cheeks, ruining her fresh applied make-up "I know you are a tough one Alya but this is too much please do not push me ok? There is no need to know the details." Alya nodded but gulped at the explanations from Marinette. A tear from Marinette dropped down on the white tiles between her knees and left a black mark on it. Alya directly looked up to Marinette and softly touched her cheek "Mari I am sorry. Please stop crying. I was selfish for asking this."
