...why? (COMPLETE)

Stressed

No, no, no, this is not happening.
This is a nightmare! I'm sleeping!
I'm going to wake up and everything will be fine!
Wake up!

...

I'm not sleeping.
I'm not dreaming.
I'm not having a nightmare.

I can't believe this...

Adrien's dead.

((Hi it's the author. Just a little heads up, this story is in Marinette's/Ladybug's point of view. Enjoy!))

         "Marinette, honey?" Mom said, "It's time for school!"
         "Mom?" I stopped her before she left my room.
         "Yes?"
         "Can I stay home from school today?" I asked.
          "Why?" She said quizzically.
          "I don't feel so well today," I answered sadly.
           "Oh, I'm sorry to hear that, dear," She responded, pressing her hand to my forehead, "My goodness, Marinette! You're burning up! Of course you can stay home today. Would you like me to get you anything for breakfast or are you nauseous?"
           "A little bit..." I said, "Maybe just some dry toast?"
           "Of course, honey," She planted a kiss on my forehead.
            This could not be good for me. Since when is "fever" one of the stages of grief?
            Oh, I know why now.
            I'm stressed.

Mom came up later with my toast and I tried to eat, but it didn't work out so well, (if you catch my drift.)
I couldn't stop thinking of him. How could I have been so stupid? So blind? I couldn't believe that this was how I found out his identity. It shouldn't have come like this!

((Flashback))

"Give me the Miraculous! You know you can't stand against me!" Oh my gosh, it was really happening.
Hawk Moth was standing right in front of us, in the flesh.
"Let's just see about that, petit butterfly!" Chat Noir shouted, whipping out his pole and cataclysm.
I began swinging my yo-yo and preparing for attack. Rena Rouge had her flute at the ready, Queen Bee unsheathing her gold sword, and Carapace ready to fling his turtle shell disk.
I bolted and tried to charge him. But he pointed his scepter at a building, striking its base. The building fell and was poised to crush me.
"Ladybug!" I heard Chat cry behind me. The next thing I knew, I was shoved out of the way.
CRASH!!!
The dust was still clearing when I squinted around and coughed, Hawk Moth no where to be seen.
"Let's do a head count and regroup!" I called, "Carapace?"
"I'm okay!" His voice answered.
"Rena Rouge?" I yelled.
"All good here!" She responded.
"Queen Bee?"
"Still okay!"
"Chat?"
Silence.
"Chat Noir?" I shouted. I began to look around.
"Oh no," I whispered, "No!" I sprinted to the building and began digging furiously. Tears stung my eyes and ran down my cheeks. My breathing shallowed, quickening with every second.
"Ladybug!" Rena Rouge called, "What's wrong?"
"Please, please please please please," I whispered.
"Ladybug," Carapace said, trying to pull me away.
"Ladybug, please!" Queen Bee pleaded, "...we're-too late."
"No!" I yelled, "It's not true! It can't be!" My breathing began to steady, "It can't..." I fell onto the building.
"You stupid cat!" I shouted, "You stupid stupid cat!! Look what you've done!!! You better not be messing with me, you hear? You hear?!! You had better not be joking! Get up! Come on!"
"Ladybug!" Rena Rouge grabbed my shoulders, "Please, don't do this to yourself. Please."
"Ladybug?" Carapace said, "There's something you need to know."
"W-what?"
"Chat Noir...he told me his identity. He knows mine too. We made each other swear never to tell anyone else, but, it doesn't really matter anymore so..."
All of us were staring at him and holding our breath.
"He's Adrien."
         ((Flashback over))
         "I don't care what it takes," I resolved, "I am going to fix this."

Hey guys! It's the author. How are you all enjoying the story? I don't even know if I'll be continuing this, so please comment and tell me if I should. Thanks a bunch!

Again, author note, I'm back. This story was made before Rena Rouge or Carapace were officially heroes, so I apologize for the full use of the names "Volpina" as Alya's superhero form and "Jade Turtle" as Nino's. I am going through the whole story and fixing that, along with some smaller things that will make the story flow a little better. Thanks falconlings!
