I instantly regretted telling Chat that. The kitty just seemed so pompous about his new crush that I had to reign on his parade. I never new this whole thing was fake. I should have never even told Chat about Adrien in the first place. If I had just kept quiet we would never have gotten into this turmoil of drama.

I never expected him to run though, at the moment we had been sitting on some rooftops around the city, just on our normal patrol route. Chat ran straight towards the Eiffel Tower, he could run really fast if he focused all of his attention on that. I started thinking of what to say to him when I caught up with him, start off with an extreme apology, and then a little beg for forgiveness. Maybe I'll end it off with "My crush isn't real, I thought you had moved on from me so I tried to form a conversation."

I finally caught up with Chat, and we were standing at the top of the Eiffel Tower.

"Chat I'm so sorry, look, the crush isn't even real, I was just trying to relate to the crush you had I'm not going to ask anyone out!" I plead desperately. "Can we please just forget this?!"

Chat glared at me angrily, "This isn't just about the crush thing! I am absolutely worthless to this team! I can't purify an akuma, you have dealt with countless akuma attacks because I was hypnotized or trapped, or unable to transform! You never even cared about me, you were insensitive to my feelings for you! And I know the crush isn't fake! I can see in your eyes pure love! I know because I look in the mirror every day! I have no purpose to serve and after months my mind is finally clear enough to know that I was never your partner! I was your slave!" He lashed out.

I was prepared to speak some words of kindness to calm him down, because I really did love Chat, maybe not in a necessarily romantic way yet, but I loved him. So Chat has no right to speak such lies, he's gotten himself all worked up by stress.

"Chat I-" I was cut off when he did something I never expected

Chat Noir, my trusted partner in crime and best friend jumped of the Eiffel Tower.

I know, I'm used to jumping off high buildings and so is Chat, but this time was different, Chat stood on the railing and let himself lean back, closing his eyes. I reacted quickly, I CAN'T LET THIS HAPPEN AGAIN. The dream I had was a prediction, it was a vision, but I had taken it for a lousy nightmare.

I jumped out right after Chat and threw my yo-yo at him frantically. I caught him and he was harmlessly hanging from the Eiffel Tower. Unfortunately I had let go of my yo-yo in the process, so that it could catch Chat. Now I was falling to my death and nothing could stop me.

I closed my eyes and waited for peace.
