Misunderstanding

Sweetheart

Marinette woke up by her alarm clock she ran downstairs off her bed leading her to the hard wooden floor, she grabbed her pink jeans, flower printed shirt, and her grey jacket. Then she put her shirt on replacing her pajama pink pants with her normal hot pink jeans afterwards her grey jacket. After a bit she slid her pink platforms on along with her pink small bag. Marinette flew down the stairs and through the bakery she goes.. "Marinette me and your father will be at a baking convention. We will return tonight." "Alright mom see you tonight!"  Marinette responded while swinging the bakery door wide open as she was running to the crosswalk. "Get off of me!" She heard a voice cry Marinette turned her head to see a small little girl..with brown hair as hot tears rolled down her hazel eyes getting pulled into a van by the arm... "Let Me Go!" She whined.. Marinette Immediately jumped into action.. she ran to the scene "Hey! You!" She yelled.. the guy turned to her while pulling the girl harder.. "Let the Girl Go or I will report you to the police!" She spoke as she took her phone out meanwhile the guy let the small brunette girl alone as he ran to the driver seat.. it was windy and cold the small girl started shivering. Marinette crouched down to her level "Hey are you okay? where are your parents?" The small girl looked down with fear in her eyes.. she started shivering more Marinette noticed. She took off her jacket and wrapped it around on her small shoulders.. "Where are you parents sweetie?" "Mommy and daddy left me here saying they are never coming back for me. Papa always hits me and mama always don't listen to me.." She whispered As Marinette's eyes widen.. "What's your name?.." She asks while brushing a small hair behind her ear.. "Melody.." . "Do you have any Aunt or Uncle's..Grandma or Grandpa?.." Melody shook her head while wiping her small red nose.. Marinette didn't want to leave her in an orphanage.. or in a foster home..she was 17 either way and going to move out soon.. "Come with me Ill be taking care of you now." Marinette spoke as she opened her arms to her.. melody took a step back, she looked at they grey jacket marinette gave her and gave her a small smile as she knitted her eyebrows together.

Melody ran into her arms and hugging her neck tightly.. "I'm going to drop you off at your grandpa and grandma house.." Marinette walked to her house. "So...can I call you mama..?" Melody asked softly, Marinette took one of her hands and rubbed her back up and down smoothly "If you'd like.".. "What's your favorite food Melody?" "..uh.. choquettes." "You know your grandpa and grandma own a bakery." Melody lifted her head up.. "Really?" "Mhm!" Soon enough As Marinette arrived shortly there was a sign that said

"Oh I guess they left early.." Marinette mumbled.. "Are you hungry Melody?" Melody shook her head.. "But I'm really cold.." she spoke as she frowned.. Marinette goes around to the back door having a lot of thoughts strolling

through her head..How did she get in the streets in the first place, what will my parents say about her, will I get kicked out just for taking care of her?"

As she arrived, she puts Melody down beside her exhaling slowly while she searched for her 'emergency key.' Marinette felt a small tight grip on her pink jean pant's. Melody looked around to see a young fellow with blonde hair and emerald eyes.."Mama why is that guy starring at you?" Marinette turned her head to see Adrien with his long sleeved white shirt..dark black pants.. from across the road waving to her...she waved back to him, she shook her head then unlocked the door.. Adrien looked both ways to walk across the street then he walked to her.. Marinette felt a tug on her pants, she looked down to see melody as her eyebrows knitted together. "What's wrong Sweetheart?" "I'm cold.." Marinette giggled.. "Than go inside.." "No I want you to go with me mama.." "Alright come on then.." Marinette held out to her to Melody, Melody got got on her tippy-toes to hold her hand.. Marinette realized. "Melody it's okay you don't have to get on your tippy-toes go back on your feet." Melody reclined back on her small pink tennis shoes. Marinette crouched down and walked with her inside. "Marinette wait up!" A voice called. She turned back to see Adrien running to her. "O-oh! Hi A-adrien.." "Hi Marinette! School starts in an hour..You might wanna hurry if you don't wanna be late for school." "Yeah...I mean No! I can't sorry and I don't know if I'm able to return till tomorrow.." "What why? Is everything okay?!" It was silent for a moment till there was a small sneeze. Adrien got confused because he didn't see Marinette sneeze.  "What was that? Was that your Parents?" "It will be easier to explain if You come inside?" He nodded with a smile.. as Marinette Moved aside, Adrien walked inside looking down to see small Melody with her eyes looking directly up to him. "Hi there!" He spoke as he crouched down to her

She quickly ran to Marinette hiding behind her leg. He chuckled. "So your babysitting her is that why you can't come today?" He asked as he slowly got up. "Not exactly." Marinette looked down to see Melody.. "Well you see it's just uh.." before she could finish she look down at melody with worry brows looking down at the floor. "What's wrong Sweetie..?" Marinette asked as she looks slowly up to her. "Uhm..Can you make me hot chocolate Mama..?" Adrien eyes open when she called her that name. "Of course. Marshmallow, Whipped cream or both?" "Marshmallow please..?" "Okay can you give me at least 5 minutes..?" She nodded with a smile.
" 'Mama?' " Adrien asks with one eyebrow raised. "It's hard to explain. Really.. lets just say she almost got kidnapped. So then I asked her about her mom and dad and she said one was abusive the other wasn't but ignoring her." He put his hands over his mouth with worried brows. "And your going to take care of her? How about your parents what did they say..?" She looked down biting her lips. "Well they said nothing because they are at a convention..but I decided to take care of her. Whatever they say." He looks at Melody then back to Marinette. "Are you sure you can take of her.?" He whispers softly. "Yeah I've got it.." he tilted his head. "I should get going to school.." as he was about to head out the door Marinette called out for him he turned back "Please don't tell anybody about this.." he nodded with a smile.
