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

Ch. 20- The Secret is Out

*Emily's POV*

I sat at my desk for another 10 minutes still trying to figure out what to do. I got up and walked to the door. I stepped out into the hallway and walked into the hangout room where everyone was asleep on the beanbags. I saw Marinette and I had mixed feelings about what to do. Marinette was curled up to Adrien and they were snuggled really really close to each other. I wanted to gush, fangirl, and take a picture but at the same time I wanted to puke, pull them apart, and kick Marinette out while yelling at her.

Adrien loves Marinette A LOT. I can't separate them, if I do then he will be so hurt and I know so will she.

Softly sighing, I nudged Marinette and eventually she woke up. When she saw me she looked at me confused. I motioned for her to get up and she eventually did, since Adrien kept pulling her back.

We walked down the hall and into my office. I closed the door behind her and she sat down on one of the chairs. I sat behind my desk and folded my hands, I wasn't sure how this would go.

"Do you need anything Mrs.Agreste?" Mari asked sweetly

She definately is an actor since Harley talked in a lower raspy voice

"Why?" I asked softly

"Why what?" she said confused

"Why are you doing that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Why are you stripping?" I asked softly, afraid of what would happen next

"Excuse me? I'm not a stripper" she said offended

"Please don't deny, I know it's you....Harley" I said looking right in her eyes. All of a sudden they turned cold and empty

"Congrats, the agent is finally smart enough to get me. Although I think your son helped" she said completely loosing the sweet tone, that took me by surprise

"I don't care what you say about me. Now answer me, why are you stripping?"

Silence

"Mari? Please answer me"

Silence

"Because" she said softly

"Because why?"

"You don't have to know" she snarled

"You're right but I at least want to know some things"

She nodded

"Do you really do it for fun?"

"Sometimes"

"When did you start?"

Silence

"Mari? Please answer" I whispered

"......11"

I blinked in shock

11!?!? She's been stripping since she was 11!?!?

"O-ok umm, were you forced to do it?"

She tensed....that's not good. Well, I know my answer....this really isn't good.

She sighed, "Yes" she said barely audible

"Why? By who?"

"Money and I can't tell you"

"Well that's not right. Ok. Do you know who owns the club?"

"Yes but no one's supposed to say"

"Ugh, please Mari" I begged

"No, maybe one day" she said shaking her head

I sighed, "Ok well you can go now"

"What? Aren't you gonna kick me out? Or make me and Adrien break up and you put extra bodyguards on him and move me from his class or even out of the school? Ohh but I love him!! Please you can't-" Mari rambled

"Mari!! No I'm not gonna do any of that stuff. Yes I don't like it that my son is dating a stripper but now since I know that you were forced and you never got to choose to do it then I won't make you guys break up. Plus I don't think it would matter because I can tell that you and Adrien love each other so much, I can't even explain it so I don't think I would have the heart to" I explained, cutting her off

"Really?" she asked shocked

"Yes and don't worry, this stays between us"

She gave a small and sad smile, "Thank you"

"No problem.....oh and Mari?"

"Hmmm?" she hummed, turning towards me

"I love the tattoos" I said and winked

Her eyes went wide as she tensed but then she chuckled, shaking her head and left.

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

*Marinette's POV*

I can't believe she knows. I would have lied and said that I wasn't forced but I knew she knew the answer before I even said it, so there was no point.

I walked back into the hang out room and laid down next to Adrien. His arms immediately went around me, even tho he was asleep. I snuggled into him and stared into his chest.

What the hell am I gonna do?

My mind was racing. What now? My boyfriend's mother knows that I'm a tattooed stripper....the fuck? That's just messed up.......
