Who Am I?

Chapter 6: My Savior

Adrien's Pov:

Do you know what it's like to be trapped? By someone or somewhere? Trapped by expectations or locked gates? I'm suffocating, yearning for escape. I was always an independent person. I've been working since I was a child and I was always alone. But, I've realized lately. I've been waiting for someone. When my dad hits me all I can think is someone save me. I'm constantly waiting for someone to save me. For someone to help me escape. That's when she came into my life.

Ladybug

She taught me the meaning of freedom and friendship. She taught me how to rely on others. And I'm selfish and greedy for wanting more. Ladybug can't save me anymore. No one can open these gates.

Sometimes I wonder what I did to deserve this. What have I done in my past life for this to happen to me? I feel depressed. I'm no longer motivated to fence or to study. I no longer want to be around my friends. I'm so alone and I have no one to blame but, myself.

I should have protected her when I had the chance...

I continue to jump over buildings like a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle when I hear faint shouting. A familiar klutzy voice-cracks follow me. My body stops. Someone is tracking me. Someone is trying to find out where I'm going. Usually, I'd put them on a wild goose chase but, I know who this is.

"Marinette, go home" I whisper to myself. I turn and look at the streets. She's tired but, not as tired as I thought she would be. Never took her for an athletic person...

Her face looks up at me. She looks frustrated.

Good, be angry at me.

"Stop running away from me!" She screams. Her screams aren't soothing at all. It's just annoying. Why is she chasing me? Why is she so persistent?

"You run away to me and you run away from me!" She continues, people start to stare at the crazy teenager screaming at the sky "Stop being so stubborn and let me help you!"

At first, I'm shocked and flustered. She's chasing after me. For once, someone notices something is wrong. I felt invisible. Like no one bothered to care. But, there was someone looking for me after all. This impulsive, stubborn and overly confident girl was chasing after me.

"I give up," I say, just loud enough for her to hear " You just won't back down" Marinette continues to stare at me. Her eyes widen in shock.

"I'll see you tomorrow, Princess" I wink, and this time, she doesn't follow me.

Author's Note:

I was listening to Dan's live stream while writing this. Where I live, the snow is crazy. I had no school today and I won't have school tomorrow. At this point in the story, Adrien begins to soften up to Marinette. he realizes that he doesn't want to be alone anymore. Adrien's been trying to protect Marinette from himself but, the tables have turned.

What will happen to their relationship?
