The Way We Were I + II

Chapter Eleven: Lost.

Adrien's POV

For the past three weeks I haven't seen nor heard from Marinette after the party. Not even Alya wants to tell me anything. I have gone to their apartment a few times only for Alya to open the door. Not allowing me to enter. I can no longer focus in class. It's like a part of me is gone. I miss you Mar. I'm so sorry.

Luka's POV

I haven't seen or heard from Mari ever since homecoming. By just having a quick glance at Adrien I can say something happened. Something bad.

Marinette's POV

I'm so sorry boys. But I had to leave for a while to be able to gather my thoughts on who I want to be with. Reality is hard. I soon have to face it and hurt one of you If not both. I feel that one half of my heart belongs to Adrien and the other half belongs to Luka.

Back In university..

Luka - "Mr Agreste!"

Adrien - "What do you want Luka?"

Luka - "Um so what's up?"

Adrien - "Listen I'm in no mood for your stupid games. You have something to say , say it!"

Luka - "You know me too well Agreste! I have no time to beat around the bush sooo what did you do to my girl?"

Adrien - "I - I. She is not your girl!"

Luka - "listen good and listen close. We both know I have a bigger chance of getting picked then YOU! Got it? Let's be honest they say if you really loved the first person you would have never fallen for the second.Good day and goodbye.Think about that Agreste."

Adrien - " I - I. He's right. Did she really love me?"

Later on after university ..

Adrien's POV

Who am I kidding. He's probably right I probably have no chance against him. I should probably just save my self from heartache. Oh Mar what should I do I'm confused,hurt and lost.
Should I let go? Or should I hold on from the impossible? It's time to decide. Should I hold on to someone who might not even pick me. I hope for the best for all three of us. If she doesn't pick me I will immediately leave the country and will not look back. Not all stories are meant to have happy endings.
I should start packing..

Adrien - " Where are they? Probably on my cupboard!"  (He reaches up to feel one box here .) "What's in here?"

( He rapidly opens up the box to see two framed photos. One of him and his mother when he was a little boy and one of him and Marinette.) " Oh mum I miss you so much!"

His mum had signed the photograph saying "Mommy loves you Adrien."

Tears blurred his vision. He started stuttering :

"I-if y-you were here you would know what I should have done. B-but you aren't. I love you m-mum."

Adrien starts crying more remembering his mum.
"What happened in the past is the past now. I hope your happy there!",He said as he looked out the window to the sky.

"Ohh Mar I can't seem to forget you for one second. Your everywhere.",He said as he was looking at the their picture together.

"I remember the day Nino took this picture, so many memories." A smile appeared on his face remembering. "Thank you so much Nino."

"Oh mum she is my other half for sure. She fills my entire heart. She reminds me of you. Your laugh, your smile, your wild spirit. They say some people are not meant to be tamed. They are meant to run wild until they find someone just as wild to run with." He sighs.

"T-that was you until I met Mar. That's why you could no longer stay h-here. D-dad never understood you but I did, I understand-d her too mum. Help me mum, y-your son n-needs you. P-p-please."

That was the moment the wind entered through the windows and blew over his shirt revealing Marinette's card to him. "It's my turn to fight a little longer. Thank you mum. Thank you!"
