Tim's pov:

After Marinette and I woke up in the closet we went back to the others.
"Welcome back to the land of the living." Steph laughed. "How was you nap?" Cass signed.
"Very funny you guys. Why didn't you wake us up?" I asked. "You look too comfortable." Jason smiled.
Marinette looked at her phone. "It's already 5. You guys I'm sorry but i have to go. I still have stuff to do. Where is Mar'i?", "Taking her own nap." Dick said.
After saying goodbye she and Jason drove home.

Saturday

Marinette's pov:

It was already late at night when Nick sat across from me at my coffee table.
"Marinette I think I can't concentrate anymore for today. " Nick grumbled and closed his book. "Ok." I laughed.
"Wanna play a videogame?" I asked. "Sure if you want to lo..."
Someone knocked on the window.
I looked over and saw Red Robin waving through the window. "What's he doing here?" Nick asked.
"I don't know I told him I have no time today." I said getting up to opened the window.
"Today? That's not the first time he's here?", "Yup." I answered and pushed the window up.
"Hello." I smiled. "Good evening. Can I come in?". I steped aside letting him in.
Nick and Red made I contact. "Ooh you're the friend that she's helping to study?",
"Yes and why are you here? I never heard of a vigilante making house visits. ",Nick said confused.
"We have coffee dates sometimes." He said looking at me.
" Coffee dates?" Nick asked looking at me .
"He stops by sometimes after patrol I make coffee and we talk." I shrugged.
"She makes great coffee." Red said putting an arm around my schouler.
"Well why are you here today? Apparently she told you not to come." Nick said getting up.
"I came to whish her safe travels.", "What does he mean?".
I got out from under reds arm. "I didn't manage to tell you yet. I'll be going on a business trip for a week.".
"With you're boss?" , I nodded.
"Is it just the two of you?", "No. His family will be there too.",
" Yeah at least that."He scoffed. "Nick." I said a bit irritated.
"What's the matter. I thought you and your Boss are on good terms again. " Red said.
"We are." I said.
"They are more than good. They also have coffee dates." Nick crossing his arms. "What has gotten into you?" I asked.
"Somebody is jealous. Did he see the pictures?" Red asked. My head slowly turned towards him. I was speechless.
"Pictures? What pictures.".
I'm going to kill him.
"Remember when I came to late one time and I said I got held up at work. I was doing a photoshoot.",
"With your Ex?" ,"With my Boss." I snapped back.
"Why didn't you tell me?", he asked upset.
"I didn't mention it because it's not important to me. If I don't care you shouldn't either.".
Nick took out his phone and looked up the photos. "He didn't see the pictures?" Red laughed,
"What is wrong with you?!" I screamed at Red.
"Oh wow. They are all couple pictures. And look at this underwear commercial. That's nothing to mention?"
"What's it to you?" I asked frustrated. "I like you. You know that!" ,
"Yes but that doesn't mean I belong to you! I made it clear where we stand right now .You said it's fine!"
"Yeah what I didn't know is that you regularly meet with.. that guy.... " he said pointing at Red "... and are on such good terms with your Ex that you're fine with such a photoshoot." He said grabbing his things and walking towards the door. "Have fun on your trip. Don't call me anymore. " he said slamming the door.
I was fuming and turned around slowly. "Why did you do this?" I growled at Red.
"I thought he knew about the photoshoot. ", "You look good together? "I hissed.
"I- that was a bit to much wasn't it?", he winced. "A bit!? You knew that he liked me!" I screamed.
"Listen I know guys like this. Sooner or later just friends wouldn't have been enough for him.",
"Than I would have cut him off!", "No! Because you're to nice to cut people off!",
"I'm not!Either way this wasn't your decision to make!", "Yes it was because you're in over your head!" He screamed.
"You don't get too make decisions for me!".

Tim's pov:

"If I know that it's not good for you I do! I know that you can't stand to be told what to do which is probably why you left your paren...","Shut up! Do not.. go there." She threatened with tears in her eyes.
"No I'm going there! I'm going there because this is ridicules!",
"You have no idea what you're talking about so shut up!" She screamed.
"That's what you do Marinette! People care about you and you blow up in there faces! Your parents...",
"My parents hit me!!" She screamed taking deep breaths afterwards.
I froze.
"I got emaciated because I couldn't take it anymore and threatened to sue them if they didn't sign the papers!"
She cried.
"Marinette I'm..","Stay..back! Don't come any closer." She said holding out her hands. "I told you to stop." She cried.
"I'm sorry I was angry and couldn't... I'm sorry. Please. " I begged trying to get close. "No! Get out.", "M..", "Leave!".

Jason's pov :

I heard a knock on my door. When I opened the door I saw Marinette standing there looking down hugging herself.
Her shoulders were shaking. "What's wrong? What happened?" I asked concerned softly grabbing her arms.
Instead of answering she jumped onto me. I held her in a tight hug as she began to sob.
"It's okay kiddo. Let it out.", between sobs I could make out that she said something along the lines of 'Boys suck'.
"I know. That's why I date girls." I answered wich caused her to laugh while crying and she lightly slapped my shoulder. "What?" I laughed.
