⭐Marinette⭐

I couldn't sleep that night; every time I closed my eyes I was transported back in time to that moment. Reliving it, over and over again. I was in a horror movie.

Monday morning was extremely difficult. I could barely walk, but somehow I managed to get myself past my parents seeming like nothing was wrong and then barely managed to get to school. I got there luckily and just on time as well, somehow. I went and sat in my seat next to Felix but Felix wasn't there.

'What the actual fuck?! He's always at school and he told me he hasn't gotten sick in like three years so he's almost definitely not sick. Why is he away? Why does he have to be away? Doesn't he know that he's my protection from Chloe? Why? Why did he leave me by myself? We also have a project to do. Why isn't he here to help me with that? Doesn't he realise that we have to do it together? What is he doing? Where is he?'

An actually representation of me overthinking something lol.

I was only snapped out of my thoughts because I heard the teacher call my name to see if I was present. I just put my hand up to signal I was here and she nodded her head at me and continued.

After class I went up to my teacher to ask where Felix was and she told me he was away for the week. I thanked her and left. As headed to the library I ended up crossing paths with Chloe.

'It's going to be ok Marinette just mentally prepare yourself'

⚠️ ⚠️ - start (abuse and mention of no longer being on earth)

I just stood there silently as she berated me, reminding me of how worthless and pathetic I truly am, and she was right. I was worthless and pathetic, no one wanted me, I was nothing, I was a burden to everyone.

"Just kill yourself already, you'd be doing yourself and everyone a favour." She rolled her eyes at me.

I heard her loud and clear. Once again she was right. I should just kill myself. No one would need to worry about me anymore. My parent's life would be better, they wouldn't need to worry about me. I would no longer be a burden to everyone. They would all be free to live a happy life.

I suddenly felt a huge pain in my stomach and fell to floor unable to scream out in pain. I looked at her as she knelt down and she slapped me across the face. The pain was horrible but then it faded into numbness. I felt nothing, not my hands that held my face not even the breeze on my skin. I couldn't see anything, I just heard Chloe's shoes as she walked away proud of herself and I just knew she had a smug smile on her annoyingly perfect face. How I wish I looked as good as her but I just lay there pathetic and unable to move.

⚠️ ⚠️ - end (summary: Chloe said mean stuff and hurt Marinette)

About 10 minutes had passed and somehow no one had walked past but I had just been able to start moving and luckily regained all my vision.

"Oh my god! Marinette! What happened?!", I heard a very concerned voice for behind me.

I turned around to see who it was, it was... Adrien?

He tried to help me up but as soon as he touched me I snapped at him, " Don't touch me!", he looked completely stunned and I understand why I never yell I'm always super calm and quiet.

"I'm sorry Adrien, I just don't want anyone touching me" he had done nothing wrong but I still went off at him, I felt so guilty.

"It's ok Marinette, I understand", he looked at me and I could the pain in his eyes, he was genuinely concerned about me. "Do you want to tell me what happened" he just as he sat down in front of me trying his best to comfort me.
