Adrien cried for hours, or until it was morning. He need her but, but she was gone. He walked to school, the usual hoodie, shirt, jeans and tennis shoes with his backpack. He walked into the school where everyone was talking about Chat Noirs appearance last night. There was a statue under the Eiffel Tower for her, of her. He saw it on his walk to school and prayed that this was all just one big dream. He saw a big group of people around Chloe, her shaken up so he walked towards it.

"A-re you sure?" Sabrina asked, worried.

"I'm positive it was her!" Chloe yelled. "Marinette was in my room! I'm sure of it!"

"How do you know it was her and not one of your maids?" Alya crossed her arms.

"She had a whole in her chest and was bleeding, everywhere."

"W-what happened here?" Kim asked as he walked up to the group.

"Chloe saw Marinettes ghost," Max chuckled. "Crazy right?"

"Are you sure it's not the guilt of bullying her eating at you?"

"I'm positive it was her! She just kept saying the same thing over and over again!" Her hair was a mess and her clothes were even messier.

"Which was?"

"Adrien isn't guilty." Chloe said and everyone scoffed.

"Guilty of what? Killing her? He was the last person who saw her as her." Alya growled.

"She didn't say, it was just that!" Chloe panicked and the bell rang. Everyone went to class and Adrien sat in the back and listened to the music Ladybug once told him she liked. He closed his eyes and listened.

"Adrien, Adrien, Adrien!" Ms.Bustier yelled at him and he took out his earbuds without her noticing. The class was laughing. "If my class is so boring why don't you tell that to the principal."

Adrien sighed and got up, walking out of the classroom and to Mr.Damocles office. He knocked then walked inside, Mr.Damocles sighing heavily. "This is the fourth time this week Adrien, I'm afraid I have to call your father."

"I-I understand." Adrien whispered and sat down. A few minutes later Nathalie walked through the door.

"Where is Mr.Agreste?" Mr.Damocles asked.

"I'm here," Adriens heart dropped when Gabriel walked into the room and sat down next to him. Nathalie walked out and stood on the other end of the door, doing work on her tablet. "What was this about my son?"

"Adrien has been in my office four times this week," Gabriel glared at Adrien. "Most of the disturbances have been about not getting enough sleep. Is he sleeping regularly at home?"

''No.' Adrien thought. "Yes, he's sleeping perfectly fine." Gabriel answered and Adrien sighed.

"Adrien, are you sleeping okay at home?" Mr.Damocles asked him.

"Y-yes."

"He's just missing that classmate of his," Gabriel stood up. "Are we done here? I have a very important meeting to get to."

"Yes Mr.Agreste," Gabriel walked out of the room and Adrien stood up and grabbed his bag. "Adrien, are you sleeping well at home?"

"I told you yes."

"Truthfully?"

"N-no. Every time I close my eyes I see Marinette crying." Adrien partly lied. Mr.Damocles nodded.

"I see. Go on to class, you don't want to miss out on your learning." Adrien sighed and went back to Ms.Bustiers room. He sat in his seat and Ms.Bustier sighed when he closed his eyes again, listening to music. The bell rang and he left the classroom and went to his next. Then his next. At lunch he sat by himself at home and ate then went back to school. Nino and Alya glared him down as he walked in, twenty minutes before lunch break ended.

"Alya, just leave him alone." Nino held her shoulder and she tensed.

"Why? He's guilty of everything!" She stood up and marched towards Adrien, pushing him down onto the ground, his bag falling off his shoulder and everything falling out. He hurried to pick it up, not caring who pushed him. "Why were you at her funeral?" Adrien grabbed his bag and stood up. "Answer me!"

"H-Her parents w-wanted me there." Adrien flinched as she raised her voice.

"Bullshit!" Alya yelled at him and he flinched again. "No one wanted you at her funeral! It was for the people who cared about her!"

"I-I did care about her! As a friend! I'm sorry I didn't like her! If I did it would hurt more to see her gone!" He did love her, he just didn't realize it.

"If you did then she wouldn't be dead you jackass!" Alya shoved him again and he fell over. He got up and walked out the classroom and sat in his seat. He rested his arms on the table and put his head on top of them. He cried, hard. He missed her so bad that it felt like a knife going threw his chest. Rose, Nathanael and Juleka walked in and heard the crying and looked at Adrien.

Rose looked at her friend who were shaking their heads. She glared at them before walking over to Adrien and sitting next to him. She touched his back and he jolted up and wiped away the tears on his cheeks. "Adrien, why were you crying?" she asked.

"W-why would you care?" He asked, barely above a whisper.

"I just do. Tell me what's wrong, maybe I can help." She gave him a warm smile.

"No one can help me," Adrien shakily sighed. "Unless you can bring Marinette back, then you can't help me."

"Oh Adrien, we all miss her," Rose hugged him, he didn't hug back. He just wanted to go home. "We have a group after school that everyone goes too. We talk about the good times with her so we can learn to get over it together wanna come tonight?"

"I-I'm good. I don't need help." The bell rang and Rose sighed and sat in her seat, everyone coming in and sitting in theirs. Class passed by and Adrien went home, looking out the window into the night.
