Miraculous ladybug one shorts ~ VOL 2

.The libary.

AN: i wanted to try something that I've seen done a few times round. The song I'm using is 'who you are' by Jessie J, so enjoy. (Warning: sad, mentions of depression and self harming)

I stare at my reflection in the mirror... why am I doing this to myself?
Losing my mind on a tiny error, I nearly left the real me on the shelf.
No, no, no, no..

Each barren Row of books was dull and lifeless, things that were meant to spark imagination and create a whole new world were old, torn and tattered. Dust and cobwebs covered most of the things that remained untouched there and most light came from the windows, yet they were all covered with cloth and pried away from the naked eye.
Marinette was the only one who knew about this place, and when something went wrong, wether it be a school day or a day out as the beloved superhero she would always come here.

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars, seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, it's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart,
Tears don't mean your losing, everybody's brushing,
It's okay not to be okay.

He always seemed to be there when she was there, no matter when he would always stumble in and she would be there.
Adrien didn't know who she was, but she would always wear long jumpers with her hair nicely plaited to one side, and play guitar as she had herself perched on one of the ledges towards the back. Her voice was always mesmerising, alluring almost like a sirens song. It wasn't until one day when he realised why she wore jumpers.
Scars and cuts ran along her arms all the way up to her elbows, some fresh some old. All from the memories of the past and the demons of today.
He never judged her, to be honest he wasn't sure she even knew he was there most of the time.

Brushing my hair do I look perfect?
I forgot what to do to fit the mold, yeah
The more I try the less it's working, yeah, cause everything inside me screams, no, no, no, no, yeah...

The first time marinette saw the boy in the green hoodie with the blonde swept hair was after a tough day fighting an akuma that had managed to get her best friend hurt and put into the hospital.
"I'm sorry i can leave if you want me too.." she mumbled, catching him by surprise,
"No it's fine honestly I love hearing you sing.. I kinda see you everyday anyways.. wait no that's not what I meant.. uhh" she giggled. And it was like hearing an angel. He'd never heard her giggle or laugh before and it was amazing.
"I'm marinette" she said before holding out a hand.
"Adrien"

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars, seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, it's okay not to be okay.

Their friendship lasted for what seemed like a lifetime after that, but it never happened outside of the walls of the library. Their words and woes always stayed within the walls. Their tears and songs. They were both fragile. Glass almost but not as see through.
Adrien never told marinette who he really was, afraid of how she would act if she knew he was a cover boy for almost every major magazine in the city.
And then it happened.
"YOU LIED TO ME! I POURED MY HEART OUT TO YOU AND YOU LIED TO ME... I.. i trusted you..." she turned around, her back now facing the pale face of the blonde. She ran a hand through her raven hair in fear and panic, "I trusted you... oh my god..." she began choking and sobbing not being able to then get the words out of her throat. Feeling like she was trapped then within the walls that she had felt so safe within these past few years she ran out and back to her house.
~~~
Yes, no's, egos, fake shows like woo, just go and leave me alone.
Real talk, real life, good love, goodnight.
With a smile that's my own,
That's my own, no, no, no, no, no.

As the water drained it created a pattern of red swirls with the few occasional drops. She always held everything in and tonight it all came pouring out. Every minute, every second, every year of pain and anger. She grabbed the Knife.
She was 6ft deep in the ground a few weeks later. And her funeral was one of the biggest anyone had ever seen. She had an impact on almost everyone she met, wether it be negative or positive. But that didn't matter to Adrien.  She was gone.

Don't lose who you are in the blur of the stars, seeing is deceiving, dreaming is believing, it's okay not to be okay.
Sometimes it's hard to follow your heart,
Tears don't mean your losing, everybody's brushing,
Just be true to who you are, yeah, yeah, yeah...
