The Waiting Game

Chapter Six - Carousel

So I'm going to start a thing where with each chapter (well it may not be EVERY chapter but most of them) there will be a song reference hidden in the chapter and the title of the chapter will be that song :) I think it will be kinda cool.

ALSO QUEEN HALSEY DROPPED HFK I AM SHOOKETH I LOVE HER SO MUCH

Okay I'm good :)

Positive.

I held the little stick with shaky hands as I read that one word over and over again, praying it would fade away into a negative.

Positive.

That stupid word didn't make me feel so positive on the inside. I wanted to throw up, cry, scream and punch my way through the wall.

Positive...

"Marinette...are you okay?" 

I furiously wiped the tears away from my eyes. "Y-yes Olivia, I'm fine."

"I thought I heard crying, are you sure?" 

Deep breathe in, deep breathe out, just like my mama taught me. "I hit my toe on the- uh- edge of the bathroom-I MEAN TUB! Yeah, tub. It just really hurts." I laughed away the pain the best that I could.

"Okay...if you need anything let me know." 

I frantically pulled my phone out of my back pocket and stared at his contact name. Adrien Agreste, my thumb hovered over the green dial button, but I shut my phone off. I can't go crawling back to him. I spent most of my teen years doing that, it got me nowhere. That night meant nothing to him, I can accept that, but I can't just come back into his life ten days later with banners and confetti.

"I'm pregnant Adrien! I left you without a proper explanation but I'm here with your child yay!"

Yeah, that would not work.

I threw the test in the trash and covered it with some tissues. I needed a friend, sure Olivia was kind enough to let me stay at her place but her parents would surely kick me out. 

Marinette: Alya I've messed up big this time...

Alya: What do you mean? What happened?

Marinette: I can't tell you exactly

Alya: Girl don't leave me hanging like that. You know you can tell me anything.

Marinette: I know, and I will tell you soon, I promise. I just can't be alone right now.

Alya: What about Adrien?

Marinette: He's a large part of the problem...and I'm also not at the apartment right now.

Alya: Woah woah, where are you? What happened between you and Adrien?

Marinette: It's so bad Alya, I don't know what to do.

Alya: Wait-

Alya: He texted me.

Marinette: Oh?

Alya: He wants me to tell you that he's sorry.

Marinette: Oh...

Alya: He sounded really worried Mari, you should talk to him.

Marinette: I can't Alya, not after what I did...

Alya: What happened between you two?

Marinette: I can't get into it right now. Just don't tell him that you haven't spoken to me in a while.
