"After this commercial break I will announce the winner!"Alec smiled as the camera went off, everyone in the theater moving out of the seats to stretch as Alec and the other judges figured out the winner. Every contestant was moved on stage by order of which they preformed, Adrien shaking as the camera turned back on and Alec smiling at it as the other judges walked onto the stage. "And we're back! Now, the winner of this music competition gets 500,000 Euros and a contract with Jagged Stones Agency! The second place winners get 25,000 Euros and the third place winners get 12,500 Euros!"

Adriens palms were sweating. What if they didn't win. He's be fine with that but he just preformed a song about his Father, in front of his Father with the entirety of his school in the audience. He couldn't move. Marinette looked at him, nudging his side and smiling at him as Jagged handed Alec the third place winner envelope.

"The third place winner is," Alec opened the envelope, pulling out the piece of paper and smiling at the camera. "Alex and The Fevers!" They smiled as Jagged handed them the giant check and being told to stand on the side of the stage as Mr.XY handed him the second place winner envelope. "The second place winners are," Alec slowly opened the envelope then smiling. "Anthony Guzman-Ontario!" Anthony went on after Adrien and Marinette. He smiled as he took the check from Mr.XY and stood next to the third place winner as Gabriel handed him the first place envelope. "Now, the next group or person I say will pack up and go to Paris to make it big! Let's see who it is!" Alec opened the envelope, smiling as Gabriel clenched the giant check in his hands. "Adrien Bonier and Marinette Dupain-Cheng!"

Adrien was deaf. He couldn't be hear correctly. There was no way they won. Marinette missed her entrance and the piano was off key. Who was he kidding, they played perfectly and even he knew that they should win. Marinette nudged his shoulder and he looked at her as she smiled at him, taking the check in her hands. "Adrien we won, say something."

He was quiet for a moment. "No freaking way."

Adrien held Marinettes hand as they walked into the parking lot, Marinette gripping his hand as her teeth chattered from the snow already on the ground. "You okay?" Adrien turned to Marinette as she griped the violin case handle.

"Y-Yeah. J-Just cold." Marinette stammered, her teeth chattering as Adrien let go of her hand to take off his jacket. A grey jacket pulled over her shoulders before Adrien got his off, Marinette looking behind herself and seeing the redhead she never wanted to see again. She dropped her violin case.

"H-Hey Mari." Nathanael smiled at her.

Marinette turned her back to him, pushing his jacket off her shoulders as she crossed her arms. "Go away Nathanael." Adrien was growling, ready to attack him.

Nathanael placed his hand on her shoulder, Marinette glaring at him as he turned her. "Marinette please. I-I know I messed up, but I really, really miss you. Please, just, forgive me, and take me back. Please."

"You cheated on me!" Marinette raised her voice, Nathanael gripping her shoulders more.

"Please Marinette," she didn't answer, only glaring at him and trying to find a good place to punch him. He moved one hand to her lower back, pulling her close and pressing his lips to hers. "Please."

"Get off her!" Adrien yelled, pushing Nathanael off of Marinette and to the ground, sitting on his abdomen and punching him left and right.

"Adrien stop!" Marinette pulled at his arms, only to be pushed back by him and to land in the snow. She pushed herself up and ran inside the theatre, grabbing Gabriel and pushing him outside to break up the fight before Adrien killed Nathanael.

Gabriel's eyes widened, soon grabbing Adrien by the back of his jackets collar and pulling him off of Nathanael, Marinette holding her hand over her mouth at much blood there was on Adriens shirt, knuckles and snow.

"What is wrong with you!" Gabriel yelled, not even remembering the child's connection to him. "You could have killed him!"

"And you could have choose to stay!" Adrien shouted stomping to his truck and getting in, Marinette following with the violin case and check and soon Adrien speeding off down the highway.

"Adrien slow down!" Marinette yelled as the truck reached 75 miles per hour. "You'll kill us!"

He didn't answer. He didn't need too, have too. He had a mission, and wanted to complete it. His Father didn't want him, mother doesn't care about what he wants;hell she wasn't even at the theatre. She was at home, asleep, with Charlotte awake in her own room coloring because Adrien wasn't there to put her to bed.

Adrien swiveled out of the road and onto fields, roaring through them as Marinette gripped onto the seat in fear. "Adrien you'll kill us! Slow down!" Marinette yelled at him, Adrien only going faster as a giant oak tree came into view. Marinette looked at Adrien as he went faster, the tree coming closer. "Adrien!"

He looked at her for a second, shaking his head and swerving away from the tree and stopping his car. He let go of the wheel, his hands shaking as he gripped his hair, the gel moving out of place and holding his hair in random strands. Marinette undid her buckle, holding Adriens head against her chest as her heart slowed down, his breathing uneven and ramped.

"It's okay, you're okay. We'll be okay." Marinette whispered in his ear, kissing his head as Adrien shook his head against her chest.

"C-Can we go and stay at your place?" Her parents were gone.

"Yes, just, drive calmly, please." Adrien nodded, bringing his head up and starting to drive again, going to Marinettes house and parking in the driveway. She helped him upstairs to his room, sitting him on her bed.
