Why?

Don't Worry...

'Don't like you...Mix...Gross...Prostitute...Factory Worker...'

'SLICE'

"HELP! Please, someone, help us!" someone yelled.

"What happened?" asked a voice.

"We don't know. I found her in her bathroom bleeding out." a frantic voice said.

~~~Adrien's POV~~~

"Alya...why would Marinette be cutting herself? She's literally the happiest person ever, besides Rose." I ask after about 10 minutes. Mari's parents were still talking to the doctor.

"I don't know! She was fine when we left school, although she did run right after the bell rang."

"Maybe something happened during the Akuma attack? Maybe Ladybug or Chat Noir said something rude to her?" Nino suggests.

"What?! Nino how could you even suggest something like that?! They're the heroes of Paris! They wouldn't do that." Alya shouted at Nino, defending both me and Ladybug.

"Hey, I'm just saying. No need to get upset. It could happen if they had a rough day." Nino said.

"I guess it's possible. They are just humans under the mask." I say.

'Except neither of us HAD a bad day. We both we cheery and she would've told me.'

"Alya, Nino, Adrien? You can all go home now." Sabine told us as she walked to us.

"What? I wanna see her before we leave." Alya said.

"You can't. I-I'm sorry but you'll have to leave. She'll be at school next week. Just please go home!" Sabine said with tears in her eyes.

"We'll go Mrs. Cheng, but is it alright if we come by when she's home?" I ask.

"She doesn't want to see anyone. Just know she'll be at school on Tuesday." Sabine said, before thanking us one last time and seeing us out of the hospital.

"Well, I guess we'll see each other tomorrow, and Mari next Tuesday," Nino says.

"I guess. I'll have you guys dropped off so you don't have to walk." I say with a grim smile on my face.

Alya just nods before walking to the limo and Nino quietly follows her. 

"Plagg? Do you think Marinette will be alright?" I ask my kwami, Plagg.

"Who knows? Maybe she was really upset and it was just a one-time thing? Let's hope it is. We wouldn't want her to become an Akuma." Plagg says floating by my face. I can see worry and anxiety in them. 

'Why?' I thought.

"YO! HURRY UP DUDE, BEFORE WE LEAVE YOU HERE!" Nino yells at me. 

"Maybe she'll see a certain superhero..." I whisper.

I walk off and get into my limo after Plagg hides of course. We drop Alya and Nino off and drive home. As soon as I got in my room I tell Nathalie I already ate and that I'm going to bed. When I was sure I was alone I transformed and bounded my way to the hospital. 

I walk through and ask the nurse which room is Marinette's and she tells me.

"But I'm afraid you can't go in. She doesn't want any visitors." 

"What if it's about something important?" I ask, desperate to get in there and check on her.

"I'm sorry Chat Noir. She specifically asked us to keep anyone and everyone out. You'll just have to wait and see her another time," she said with a pained expression on her face.
