What You Never Knew......She's Insane

Ch. 9- Hold Back the Tears

*Adrien's POV*

"I thought you said she'd be here" Rose said

"I thought she would" I said defeated

"Now what?" Kim asked

"I guess go back to my place, we'll finish eating then I'll call Mari" I said as we started to walk back to my house

-----------------------

*Marinette's POV*

I flopped down on my bed and groaned. I pulled the covers over my head and curled up in a ball under the covers. I felt cold even tho it was chilly out and I was under the covers with the heat on.

I wanted it all to end.
I wanted to cry.
I wanted a hug.
I wanted parents to care for me.
I wanted someone to save me.
I wanted my friends.
I wanted Adrien.
I wanted to scream.
I wanted to be loved.

I covered my ears in hopes that tonights events and my fathers words to stop. It wouldn't stop.

'Mari? Is this your first thanksgiving?'
Silence
'You're so fat!!'
'Stop eating you pig!!'
'Look at you!! No guy will want you!!'
Silence
'I'm eating too much'
'You need to stop eating so much'
'A guy wants a skinny girl with a flat stomach'
Silence
'No one wants you'
'No one wants a fat girl'
Silence
'Fatty'
'Pig'
'Weigh too much'
Silence
Silence
'Your eating habits are disgusting'
'You embarass me when we eat out'
Silence
'You eat all the food'
Silence
Silence.......

The still atmosphere was louder than my father's words that were blasting through my ears. All the yelling stopped and the silence was getting louder and louder and louder until.......

*Scream*

I let out an ear piercing scream and thrashed around under the covers, staying underneath them. I couldn't stop screaming and I didn't stop. I could slightly hear Tikki yelling for me to stop but I didn't. It felt good. I was home alone and I wasn't gonna get in trouble so I might as well. I heard a noise but I didn't stop screaming and thrashing around.

*Tap tap tap*

I still kept screaming

*Tap tap tap* "Mari!!"

Still screaming

"Mari!!" Adrien- well Chat screamed while straddling me and pulling the covers off me while shaking me, "Hey hey, calm down princess. Calm down. I'm here. Shhhh" Adrien whispered as he pulled me into his lap and hugged me while whispering to me on how he was here. Adrien detransformed and I heard Plagg and Tikki talking. I could also hear Adrien heart racing against his chest.

I guess I scared him pretty bad......

I realized I let a couple tears fall when Adrien wiped the tears off my face. I bit my lip to stop more tears from flowing by seeing the look on his face. It was a mix of scared, worry, concern, sadness, and love. I tried to get up but he pulled me back to him and into a tight hug.

"You're not getting up. Never and I mean never do that to me again" he said, his voice cracking while burying his face into the crook of my neck

Is he about to cry? Because of me?

"Sorry" I muttered

"It's ok, you just scared me. I heard you from my house and when I got here you wouldn't stop screaming and I had no idea what was wrong. I couldn't stand seeing you like that." he said, his voice started to quiver at the end and then I felt a hot liquid on my neck.
