helping hand

Marinettes POV
I awoke at 5 am to get the bakery set up for today, I sat up and rubbed my eyes, trying to wake up, I looked over and looked at Alya who was spread out across the bed, but I didn't see Chloe, I looked over the side of the bed and saw her on the floor, I nudged her and she groaned; I let out a slight chuckle and pushed the covers off me, I got out of bed grabbed a pink and white dress and made my way to the bathroom , I threw my clothes on the counter and walked to Tikis room, I quietly opened the door, and peaked inside, she was cuddled up with a stuffed pig our mother got her when she was 5, I smiled at her and closed the door. I walked back to the bathroom and turned on the shower, I got un dressed and threw my clothes in the hamper, stepped in the shower and washed the dirt and grime from last night, my mind felt fuzzy but I didn't push it, I washed my hair.

Stepping out, I grabbed a towel and dried off, I put my bra and underwear on and stepped into the dress and zipped it up, I blowed dried my hair, brushed it and brushed my teeth. I was finally done and walked out the bathroom, and made my way to the bakery.
I stood outside the bakery and unlocked the door, and slowly walked in, turned on the lights and walked my happy ass to the back, I turned on the ovens and started baking the breads and treats that we normally sold, I heard the bell chime and stepped out from the back wiping my hands on my apron, "sorry where closed till after school" I said not looking up
" I came to help out, I know you could use it" said a male voice I looked up and saw Adrian standing in the door, his hands in his pockets and a grin on his face,
" can you bake?" I asked
" of course I can, I watched my mother do it before she died" his grin fell and he looked sad, I grabbed an apron and threw it at him
" your making the bread, I'll help when I can, show me what you got pretty boy" I joked he grabbed the apron and and tied it around his waist,
"Game on princess" he smiled back we ran to the back and began baking, every so often I would glance up and saw him completely failing to make the bread
" your single handily ruined the bread. How do you mess up that badly!" I laughed, he glared at me,
" and what you could do better" he looked at me and shook his head "of course you could your a bakers daughter" his face turned pale like he regretted what he had just said, I walked over to him and helped him with the bread
"you know it took years to learn how my papa baked, yes he taught me but do you know how badly I fucked up." I explained he raised his eye brows at me, "I fucked up so bad we ended up throwing away bags of flower, and a whole lot of burnt, dry as fuck baked goods, I tried. Follow me," I gestured towards the back room, he followed me and I pulled out pictures of my screw up, "this is when I tried to bake bread, I almost set the bakery on fire," I joked, "this was the macaroons, I left out a few things and they where dry" I laughed, he let out a slight chuckle,
"wow you sucked" he laughed I smiled
"Yeah I know, but I was determined to get better" I laughed.

We continued to look at the photos taking a break every once in a while to finish the baking. I pulled out a photo of me on my Papas shoulder and my momma was holding Tiki, "This is another good one, my momma just had Tiki and couldn't work for a while so I was trying to help papa, I tripped and fell and ended up dumping an entire bag of flower all over my papa. A customer had walk in right when it happened and momma followed him; she wanted too see how everything was going, and the customer was nice enough to take a picture for us" I smiled with tears filling my eyes, I set the pictures back in the box; my heart broke just looking at them
"you okay?" Adrian asked placing a hand on my shoulder,
"Ill live, I managed a month without them, whats the rest of my life" I sadly laughed, realizing how much my parents would miss out, my graduation, mine and Tikis weddings, our children.
"why did I have to call them? They should have stayed home" I cried placing my head in my hands I felt arms around my shoulders and I was pulled into a hug I removed my hands and just cried into his chest
"it'll be okay, im here" Adrian whispered in my hair.
"what if it doesn't though?" I continued to cry, hearing the oven bing I stepped out and walked over to it , pulling out the last of the baked goods for the after school opening. Adrian helped me fill the puff pastries, I did what was needed to the macaroons, I started putting things in the cases, when I closed the case the bell to the shop went off "you ready sister?" I looked up and saw red hair that was tied into a high pony tail, she wore a black skirt and a bright red top
"just finishing up, ill be done in a moment, Do you have my keys, we need to take Alya and Chloe" I asked she nodded her head and I went to the back to turn off the ovens, I turned to look at Adrian and smiled "thanks for this, I needed it. Also you can't stay here I gotta close up" I smiled at him
"alright, i'll be back when you get out of school" he smiled and I started to walk away, "Mari wait." he said
"yeah" I turned around and looked at him
"Drive safe, please" he gave me a pleading smile
"I will, come on I gotta close" I said we walked out the back and Tiki was waiting outside, she gave me a smile an I glared at her waved bye to Adrian and Tiki and I walked to my car, Alya and Chloe where standing by it already, I unlocked the car and we all got in "buckle up" I smiled Tiki, Alya and Chloe all groaned but did as they where told, I put the car in gear and started to school.
