The Way We Were I + II

Chapter Nineteen: I hope..

Marinettes POV

This past few days have been...fine.Enzo has been spending a lot of time with us since well...Luka has been going through a few things. One thing that is bothering me the most is that he isn't tell anyone whats wrong and poor little Enzo is getting affected by it. Every day, Every morning he comes and drops off Enzo and leaves only to return extremely late or sometimes not at all. This past two days I haven't allowed Luka to take Enzo back to their house, I guess I was wrong Luka is not ready to be a father all alone. I hope he gets through everything before something happens to him or Enzo or even to both of them. I just hope that Enzo doesn't change his mind about his father.

later on the day...

Marinette - "Enzo, Adri time for lunch come on!"

From the other room..

Adri - "OKAY mommy! Come on Enzo lets go.

Enzo sighs,"Hm I'm coming."

Adria - "Enzo whats wrong?"

Enzo - "Im okay lets go."

Enzo gives off a faint smile and just walks away before Adria could question him any longer. Adria stands there worrying on whats wrong with Enzo. Soon she makes her way down the stairs to the kitchen. She looks to see Enzo quietly eating his lunch while her mom worriedly watched him.

Adria whispers "Mommy!Mommy!"

Marinette - "Im coming ."

Marinette walks up to Adria and asks as in whats wrong with Little Enzo.

Adria - "Mommy, im worried about Enzo. I think its because of Uncle Luka, he seems to not be here anymore. Do you know whats wrong?"

Marinette - "Im not sure honey. Don't worry your pretty little head about it. Ill talk to Uncle Luka.Now go and join Enzo. Okay?"

Adria - "Okay mommy."

Marinette's POV

Oh Luka my fear has become a reality. I hope your alright. I hope everything goes back to normal soon. I really do. I fear that you might even lose your own son. I have to find you Luk where ever you are.

later on..In a park somewhere in Paris..

Luka - "Ugh My head.Its bounding."

Marinate - "Maybe its because you've been drowning yourself in unnecessary drinks."

Luka - "Mar is t-that you? I can't even see probably!"

Marinette sat herself next to Luka.

Marinette - "Luk, what have you been doing?"

Luka - "Mar i dont-."

Marinette - "No luka don't tell me you don't know. Because you surely do! Stop lying to everyone."

Luka - "Im sorry I left you again."

Marinette - "Luka don't think about me but think about your son. Luka he misses you. He probably even thinks you don't want him. Luka you have to get a hold of yourself."

Luka - "Marinette I CANT!"

Marinette - "M-marinette? Why are you getting mad at me I've been looking for you for hours now.And you have the decency to get mad at me. Unbelievable! Luka listen to me this isn't you. The Luka I know would never raise his voice at me.Never.Please stop this we need you back.I need you.Enzo needs you."

Luka -"Mar I'm sorry.Please forgive me!?"

Marinette - "Thank you Luka now your son needs you. Com-."

Luka - "SON. ENZO your just thinking about him aren't you. You don't really care about what I want do y-you?"

Marinette - "Luk dont cry please. Of-course I think about you. Yes I don't know what you want because you don't tell me. You can tell me I'm here for you. Please.."

Luka - "n-no. You don't c-care."

Marinette - "Ofcourse I do luk. I love you and I care very much about you how could I not."

Luka - "Y-you love me?"

Marinette - "ofcourse I do Luk, your my best friend. How could I not."

Luka - "Oh.Um yea."

Marinette - "Luka tell me what is it that you want?"

Luka - "Umm.I want. The thing I want-."

Marinette's POV

Luka stands up and starts dusting himself off. He sighed as he looked into my eyes.

Luka - "I'll be fine on my own. I guess I'll see you soon."

And just like that he turned around and started walking away.He suddenly turned around and said,"Im sorry."

Marinette - "For what Luka?"

Luka - "Only time will tell."

and just like that he disappeared into the sunset.

2 weeks later....
