Heartbreak part 4 //
Marinette's POV:
I sighed deeply as I starred at the clock on the wall across from me. Maybe it was just me but today seemed to be flying by so fast. I pulled my gaze from the clock to my notebook in front of me. It has been one week since Adrien rejected my confession and left me out in the cold. I would be lying if I said I wasn't hurt or that I had forgotten. All of my thoughts have been consumed by Adrien; if it weren't for Alya, I don't know if I would be here right now. Not only is my life rough now as Marinette, but also as Ladybug. Without a clear head my job as a hero has been effected severely.
I look up once more and notice Adrien's eyes on me. I starred back into his eyes before quickly turning away, putting my hand up to avoid his gaze. Why was he starring at me? He doesn't love me like I love him so why? I peeked through my fingers to glance at him once more. He had turned away from me, his face flushed red as he tapped his pencil on his desk. Why is he blushing? Does he actually like me back? Was he just scared? WHAT IS GOING ON?!
I shook my head vigorously as I tried to concentrate on the class. He can't love you back, Marinette. Get your head on straight, He rejected you remember? I sniffled slightly as I held my tears back. Just the thought of that day makes me sick to my stomach. Alya looks over at me with a reassuring face, patting me on the back. I give hero a slight nod before composing myself.
This is going to be a really rough week.

"Are you listening to me Marinette?? I've been talking to you for the past ten minutes!" Alya said as she took a bite of her ham sandwich, starring at me with a questionable glance.
"I am listening, I'm sorry Alya I just don't feel like talking about Chloe today." I mumbled, leaning forward onto the table. "How are you and Nino doing?" I say quickly, trying to change the subject. Alya narrowed her eyes but decided not to push it. "We are doing better, I'm still mad at the way Adrien acted towards you." Alya hissed, crunching on a slice of apple. I rolled my eyes before giving her a light smile. "Don't let my problems interfere with your love life, Alya." She gave me a sad smile which quickly changed to a furious glare as she starred off behind me. I curiously turn around to see what she was looking at. I instantly regretted that decision when I locked eyes with Adrien. He waved at us, making me whip my head back around.
"They're coming over here!" Alya whispered to me as Adrien and Nino came up to our lunch table. Alya gave a warm smile to Nino but refused to acknowledge Adrien. "Hey girls! How are you all doing today?" Nino said sweetly as I starred at my hands in my lap, fidgeting with the hem of my shirt. "We're doing pretty good, What are you doing here?" Alya said coldly, burning holes into Adrien. Adrien was looking at the ground, a sad expression covering his face. He looked... sad. His eyes wore a tired look with unkempt hair and a haggard complexion. I instantly felt my heart drop as I looked at him. He must really feel horrible about the way everything went down and I couldn't help but feel bad about it.
'You shouldn't feel bad, Marinette! Its all his fault! He broke your heart, remember?' I thought to myself before dismissing it. Even though he broke my heart maybe he had a explanation. I have come to terms with the fact that he will never love me the same way I love him.
"Can...C-can I talk to you for a minute, Marinette?" Adrien whispered, shuffling anxiously as he looked up at me with dull eyes. I gulped the lump forming in my throat as I rose from my seat. "S-sure, lets go somewhere quiet."
"What is it that you wanted to tell me, Adrien?" I replied, standing in the same very place he rejected me. Why would he bring me out here? Why here? I tilted my head to the side as I gazed at him. Adrien locked eyes with me as he stepped closer to me. My heart skipped as I felt heat rising to my cheeks. "W-what is it? Why are you so close?" I muttered out, trying not to get my hopes up. This isn't a confession anyway.
"Marinette I have something to tell you."
My heart rate sped up as my hands began to tremble.
"What is it, Adrien?"
"I love ladybug."
What? Is this real? He loves Ladybug, but I'M ladybug! I felt tears welling up in my eyes, it was good news but also bad. I can't tell him I'm Ladybug, but he rejected me for ME!
"That's why I rejected you... I'm so sorry Marinette, I should of explained this better that day. Can you ever forgive me?" Adrien pleaded, clasping my hands in his with hopeful eyes.
I let the tears run down my face as I smiled brightly at him.
" Of course I forgive you, Adrien."
