The Confession...

The accident...

WARNING! VERY SAD CHAPTER AND MAY CAUSE TEARS! SORRY DON'T HATE ME PLEASE!

Mari's POV:

I was very worried at this point. Maman had a very nervous look on her face and papa kept laughing awkwardly every 2 minutes even if nothing was funny.

Tom's POV:

I never thought that I'll be having this conversation so soon but I guess I thought wrong. It's time we told her about my past and hers.
"Hey Mari honey!"
"Umm, hey papa?" She chuckled nervously.
"Ok Tom why don't you cut the crap and tell her the truth." Sabine said blankly.
"Ok Marinette. The truth is that we're not your real parents. Your real parents were called Bridgette and Felix, they were killed in a car accident after my ex killed them."
"W- what? Your ex? Killed? Accident?!" She stammered.
"Yes Marinette. I had an ex. She was my best friend in high school. Before I married your mother, I umm mean Sabine or umm I don't know what you'd call her-"

Mari's POV:

"PAPA! Calling her Maman is just fine." He smiled at me proudly.
"We got married and after we filed a divorce, I found out that she had a baby girl called Lila."
"W-wait WHAT?! LILA?! AS IN LILA FREAKING ROSSI?!" I was shocked at the information I had just recieved.
"YES! THAT'S HER LILA ROSSI! Wait how do you know her?!"
"She's that lying two-faced little snake who's been getting out of her way to make my life a living hell at school but I had no idea she's your daughter!" I blurted out not thinking of the consequences and papa's face defined shock.
"I-I'm sorry Papa I didn't mean that I swear I- "
"NO MARINETTE! IT'S NOT YOUR FAULT. IT'S MY FAULT FOR GIVING YOU ENOUGH FREEDOM TO SPEAK TO ME LIKE THAT!"
"I- I'm sorry I swear Papa I really didn't mean that I- "
"SHUT IT! YOU WANNA KNOW THE TRUTH?! WELL GUESS WHAT YOUR PARENTS' DEATH WASN'T ACCIDENTAL, MY EX KILLED THEM! SHE COMMITTED SUICIDE TO KILL ANYTHING THAT CAUSED ME HAPPINESS! THAT DAY YOUR PARENTS ASKED US TO BABYSIT YOU FOR THEIR ANNIVERSARY DATE NIGHT! WELL I GUESS OUR BABYSITTING JOB LASTED A BIT LONGER THAN EXPECTED! WE, I MEAN I GAVE YOU LOVE I NEVER EVEN GAVE MY OWN DAUGHTER! YOU DON'T DESERVE ANYTHING YOU SHOULD'VE BEEN SENT TO A RUSTY OLD ORPHANAGE FOR ORPHANS LIKE YOU!" I couldn't believe that this was the sweet, kind, bubbly man that I called my father. I couldn't take it and I ran out of the house not looking back once. I ran so fast I couldn't even see where I was going. I ran into an alleyway where I was about to transform before a tall male figure appeared in front of me with a smirk on his face. I looked up in fear, his facial features were blocked by the light. I closed my eyes and burst out crying prepared for the torture that came my way. I was tortured alright, but not the way you'd think. I was tortured with the love that was out of my reach for the past two days. A thumb softly rubbed my cheek while a pair of soft lips kissed my forehead.
"What's wrong sweetheart? What's a beautiful young lady like you doing alone in an alleyway? Don't you have a home or a family to go to?" He asked softly. I jumped into his arms sobbing in his sweet scent of cologne.
"NO ADRIEN! I'm homeless!"
"What? You have a home! What about the bakery? Did Chloe get her dad to shut it down?!"
"No, yesterday my mother told me that my parents died in a car accident."
"W-what?!"
"Yeah and then my so-called 'Papa' shouted that it was his ex killed my parents because she was jealous that he left her and their daughter! But the problem is you'd never guess who his daughter is!"
"He does not seem like a kind of guy who'd do that but who's his daughter? Nobody can be worse than Manon! Ha ha!"
"ADRIEN!"
"Ok sorry he he who's his daughter then Chloe?"
"ADRIEN NO! IT'S LILA! LILA FREAKIN' ROSSI!"
"L-L-L-LILA?! AS IN LILA ROSSI?!"
"YES!"
"ARE YOU SURE IT'S NOT A RUMOUR?! ARE YOU SURE I'M NOT DEAF?! ARE YOU REALLY SURE?!"
"No Adrien, unfortunately. I really need Luka right now."
"WHAT?! SO NOW I'M NOT GOOD ENOUGH FOR YOU TOO?!"
"NO YOU IDIOT! I NEED HIM SO HE CAN USE HIS SECOND CHANCE TO ERASE WHAT I JUST HEARD."
"Oh sorry..."
"It's ok. Sorry for calling you an idiot. But what he said is too much for me. That's not even the worst part! He said that my parents left me with Maman and Papa for their anniversary night but they left me with them for too long and I deserve to live in a dirty RUSTY OLD DAMN ORPHANAGE! He said that I don't deserve to have a f-family!" I broke down in his arms while nuzzling my head into his chest, inhaling his sweet perfume.
"It's ok Mari, normally I'd say to a sad person that it's ok I understand what they mean but it's just to cheer that person up but for once I'm really not lying. I really know how it feels to be rejected. It hurts, like someone rips your heart out, blends it till it's no longer a solid and then pours in back in you in the most painful way imaginable. It really sucks, a lot. Especially knowing that Lila is related to you in a way."
"I don't believe it, please tell me this is a lie or that this is some sort of nightmare that I can wake up from! Please!" I screamed into the dead of night, then it started to rain. How perfect. Note the sarcasm...
"It's ok Marinette. Shhhh." He pressed a finger on my lips. "It'll be alright, I promise and if it won't then I'll be with you every step of the way to help make things right. Okay?" He cooed lightly while rubbing my cheek softly while kissing my cheek lightly showing how true his words are and honestly, those were the truest words I have heard yet.
"I love you Adrien, I swear if this is how your life in the past before when your father was harsh I can't describe how sorry I feel for you."
"I love you too baby and when you came into my life it just got a million times better because you were the one who always stood up for me as Adrien or Chat, you faced the worst akuma to the worst civilian who is also know as my father, just for me." We both giggled at his silly comment. "I swear Marinette, you are the most spectacular girl I've ever met. The bravest, the awesomest, the luckiest, the most loyal, the kindest, the craziest, stupid, clumsy, risk-taking, stubborn, determined, beautiful girl. The one who walked into my life like nobody's business and turned it upside down! I'll never let you go, you're amazing and unbelievable you're too good to be real. So please know that when I say that I love you, those are the short 3 worded version of all I've just said. You have flaws ok? Not everyone is perfect, so just let it all out now. Your flaws are what make you lovable and cute and don't let anyone and I mean ANYONE tell you otherwise because you're my everything Mari. Without you I don't have a reason to live." My mouth dropped at that breath-taking speech and now I know that these are the truest words I've ever heard and the truest words I'll ever hear.
"I-I I love you Adrien Agreste!" I screamed into the empty streets of Paris as the rain poured onto my tear-stained cheeks and I started laughing proudly. Adrien just stood there leaning on the brick wall with a smirk plastered on his face. I suddenly stopped and my face dropped.
"What are you up to?" I raised an eyebrow in suspense. Suddenly he gasped and pointed behind me and before I had the chance to look back he screamed,
"POLICE!" And me, being the idiot I am, I raised my hands up and he ran towards me scooping me up and running towards the direction of where he said the police was and it took me a few seconds before I realised that it was his only way of getting my hands up so he can pick me up. As he ran I glared at him. He started laughing so hard before screaming again, "I LOVE YOU MARINETTE DUPAIN-CHENG!!!!! I LOVE YOU SO MUCH THAT I'M NOT ASHAMED TO SAY I'M GREEDY FOR YOU AND DON'T PLAN ON SHARING YOU WITH ANYONE!!! YOU HEAR ME PARIS?! I HAVE A GIRLFRIEND AND I LOVE HER SO MUCH!!!" We both started laughing as he started spinning us around while I was still in his arms. He suddenly pulled me into a passionate love-filled kiss. Suddenly we see Gabriel burst open the window in one of those old grandpa pyjamas, you know those stripey blue and red button ups?
"THAT'S MY SON! BOI WHAT ARE YOU DOING?! PROPOSE TO HER ALREADY! PLUS PLEASE DON'T WAKE UP HALF OF PARIS FOR YOUR LOVE CONFESSION! I DON'T WANNA PAY A FINE FOR SLEEP DISRUPTION!" He screamed.
"IT'S NOT ME WHO'S GONNA WAKE UP PARIS. THEY'LL ONLY WAKE UP IF YOU KEEP SCOLDING ME FOR SHOWING MARINETTE HOW MUCH I LOVE HER." I was just clutching my stomach from laughing at how these two were bickering like a bunch of 5 year-old kids. Suddenly Adrien turned to me with a lovesick smile plastered on his face as he said, "Shall we go inside? You're probably freezing and my dad will probably wake Paris up and you probably don't wanna go home either right?" I just pulled him into another kiss. Suddenly, I felt a strong connection as we both closed our eyes. I could feel us both sharing that flashback.

"I was only taking that gum of your seat I swear," I looked up at him.
"I've never had any friends before and this whole school thing is new to me." I look up, captivating by his glowing green orbs. He passes my his umbrella and before I can take it, our fingers touch for the first time and lightning strikes. I have officially fallen in love. The umbrella then closed on me. Wow great first impressions Marinette. He laughed first and I joined in and we giggled for a while before he had to go.
"See ya tomorrow," He waved.
"Yeah s-s-see ya!" I stammered but waved back.

We broke our kiss and locked eyes. Lighting struck again. It was rain that brought us together. Whoever said that the rain is the worst weather is definitely wrong.
"That was- " I started.
"Miraculous." We said in unison.
We really are soulmates. Just like creation and destruction. And we headed in...

It was what the French call...

Coupe de foudre... I do believe in it.... I do...
