Love Is Miraculous

Chapter 20

YOUR P.O.V


     I didn't mean what I said when I said I hated him. He just got me mad. He thought I left them there, that I somehow knew this would happen. I didn't know it would. But then again Adrian would never assume things like this and never shout and put up a fight about it. I'm still going back. They need me.
I left a note for my dad and grabbed my bag and left. I was on the first plane back to Paris, France. The ride was long and even longer because it had been delayed, which unfortunately gave me time to think and regret going out of the country. Eventually, I made it to France. The streets of my hometown were empty. The whole place seemed deserted.
"Plagg, what's happened?"
"How am I supposed to know? I've been with you the whole time." the kwami said with a bit of attitude. I scolded him as I continued walking around. I pulled out my phone to call Adrian, but then I remembered that he was made at me. So I called someone else.
"Hey, Marionette! I'm back in Paris. Ummm... where is everybody?"
"H-hey, (y/n). They're hiding form the villain." she whispered.
"Okay. Do you know where it's keeping Ladybug?"
"Yeah. At the Mayor's home."
"Okay, thanks. I'll call you later." I hung up and felt miserable. This was all my fault. If I hadn't left, Ladybug would be alright.

      I made my way to Mayor Bourgeois's home. There was someone out in the distance that I couldn't really recognize. All I really saw was blonde hair. As the person became more clear, I saw it was Adrian. He came running towards me and with a happy yet terrified smile. I had no time to react and he came right in for a hug, which I did not return.
"Whats wrong?" he asked.
"First you blame me for all this and now you're happy to see me? You ruined my vacation and the little time I had with my dad, Agreste!!"
"I didn't blame you for all this. You couldn't have known all this would happen."
"You called me on the 4th of July and just started yelling at me and blaming me for all this. Do you not remember?"
"I have no idea what you're talking about. I hadn't called you since the day you left." I showed him my call logs just to prove that he did call. He seemed dumbfounded when he saw that he did in fact call. Then he looked through his call logs and was even more confused.
"I don't have anything saying that I called you."
"What? Well, then... Who called me?"
"It could've been the villain. It can change anything about itself. There's really no one we can trust." If that was true, then how did I know that this Adrian was the real Adrian?
"How did you know I was here?" I asked suspiciously.
"I was with Marionette when you called. When I heard it was you, I bolted out the door to find you. Wait. you don't think I'm the villain, do you?"
"Well, like you said, 'there's really no one we can trust'."
After running a few tests, we decided that none of us was the villain and went to Marionette's place where all our friends were hiding. Everyone was so relieved that Adrian and I were safe. As they discussed the matter of the villain, I snuck away to transform and help Ladybug. I jumped out the window and headed straight for the Bourgeois residence. Immediately when I walked in, I saw Ladybug tied down and gagged. His yo-yo was on the opposite side of the room.
"Hold on, I'll get you out." I said as I cut away with my nails.
"Well, look who decides to show up." he said after taking off the gag.
"Sorry, I was out of town with my dad." There was a noise and the sound of feet. Not from one person, but it sounded like millions. I knew it was the villain taunting us--taunting me. A cat-like growl escaped my mouth as I remembered that it made me mad at Adrian for no reason and ruined my holiday. "Come get me." I whispered angrily to myself.
