Today was the day. I had to do it. I loved him after all. I had to visit my father. It's been a few weeks since the accident, and I was scheduled to see my father in prison. I would be lying if I said I wasn't nervous. We left on good terms so I was hoping that we could have an actual conversation since I was little. Marinette asked if I wanted her to come along, but this was between my father and I.
I took in a deep breath and walked into was seemed like a jail. They were large buildings, about 6 of them in all. Which my father was in? I didn't know. I stepped up to the front desk where I met a lady. She was wearing a black uniform with a badge on the left side.
"Are you Adrien agreste?" She asked. She was probably just asking because of protocol. Everyone in Paris knew my face. I almost cringed at how nasally her voice was.
"Yes ma'am." I replied.
"Go to the guard on the left. He will take you to your father."
I approached the guard on the left. He had a very bulky structure. He patted me down and checked my bags for weapons. I followed him to a small room with a window. I could see my father waiting for me in a blue chair.
"If anything gets so crazy just call for me, alright?" The guard in front if the door instructed. I nodded in response and went inside. I sat down in my chair and put my bag down. We sat there not speaking. Everything was dead silent.
"Adrien. I just have to say this again. I'm sorry. I am truly sorry. I'm sorry for the pain I caused you. I'm sorry for the permeant scars, physical and mental. I'm sorry that I was blind to the fact that I was hurting you. I love you Adrien." He stood up and embraced me tightly. I sat there shocked for some reason. He already apologized so why was I shocked at all? I let the feeling pass and wrapped my arms around him.
"It's okay dad. I'm okay." I whispered. We separated, and I attempted to start a conversation. "So how is life here in prison?"
"I don't want to talk about me. I want to talk about you. I haven't ever put my attention to you. I need to start now." I could tell he was determined to change. I was proud of that.
"I'm doing alright. Marinette, that girl from school is at the orphanage too. She lost both parents in a huge fire. She is in the hospital right now. I would be lying if I said I wasn't worried about her." My father just smiled. I swear I saw a second of a smirk.
"Do you love her? Is she your girlfriend?" He almost laughed. I blushed at the question.
"Um. I do love her. She isn't my offical girlfriend though." There wasn't any point in denying it so I decided to be straight forward. My dad smiled.
"Adrien our time is limited. I have to tell you one more thing. Kathryn your foster parent, she is your aunt. She is your mother's sister. I know she is taking good care of you. Our time is done. Please come back some day." He said hugging me. I silently nodded in response.
I left the room and went back to the hospital to see Mari. She was getting out of the hospital today. I ran to her room with my hoodie on and head down. I hated it when people stared at me. I entered her room and saw Marinette standing up. She was staring at the window looking sorrowful.
"Hey Adrien," she said softly. "How is your father?" That must be what is bothering her.
"He is doing great actually." I replied. I walked over to her and hugged her from behind. I know she was still pained by the lost of her parents and be me seeing one of mine, she was heavily reminded of them.
She quickly turned around in tears and embraced me tightly. She sobbed into my chest. I comforted her by rubbing her back. "I'm sorry, princess." She nodded into my chest but didn't move otherwise. "Has Miss Kathryn signed your lease papers yet?" I inquired.
Marinette let go of me then looking me straight in the eyes. "She is doing it right now. Can we go back home? I hate staying in this hospital room." I nodded but my face turned sour at her comment. It once again reminded me that it was my fault she was here. She didn't seem to notice it and walked right out of the room.
Kathryn drove us back to the house, and there was want I thought was a couple standing right outside the front doors. We got out of the car and my new found aunt introduced us. "Marinette, Adrien." She began. "This is Mr. and Mrs. Underwood." (Special thanks for ApplejackM and google for the last name:) "They are going to adopt Marinette." She said happily with a smile on he face. Both our jaws dropped to the ground. I was in completely shock. Marinette is leaving?
"Hold on! Where do you live?" Marinette inquired obviously upset.
"We live in the northern outskirts of France. We leave in three days." Mrs. Underwood informed us remorsefully. I took this hard. Marinette, my only light, is leaving me. Just like my mother did all those years ago. I forced tears back. Marinette nodded, and we both went back inside. Once we were away from everyone, I let tears pool in my eyes. Marinette was crying to but I wiped the tears off her face.
"Hey, don't cry princess. This is good for you." I attempted to smile.
Marinette leaned into my touch. "But Adrien. I worry about you." She said.
"Don't worry about me. I will be okay. What's important is that you have a family again. Plus if you want, we can text everyday, for as long as you want." He promised her.
"Alright." She sighed. "I'm going to miss you so much kitty!" She cried.
"I'll miss you too buggaboo." I lifted her chin and leaned in for a kiss. She met me halfway with force I wasn't expecting. We shared a sweet kiss for a few seconds before we separated and put our forehead together. I had to accept that my light was leaving me in the darkness.
