Breaking Free

Chapter 15- MIXED

Hey guys, so I am going to go back a chapter and give you the POV'S of the other characters that were there. Enjoy.

Jason

It was quiet after Chloé left. It was quiet outside the door. So being myself, decided to go mess with Tim. Tim of course was making coffee. Me being me, took it from his hands and placed it on the counter.
"Wanna make a bet?"
That got his attention. "What's it about?"
I smirked, my mind going instantly to the gutter, but no one said it had to be a civil bet. "How much are you offering to find out?"
"$100"
We shook hands and smiled. "Alright here's the bet. Damian is the first to skin the cat, before Chloé can."
"Oh, no. Chloé will skin the cat and Lila before Damian can even reach the hotel." Tim smirked.
I was about to say more when I got a call from Chloé.

"Tell me what's going on with Marinette now."
What? "Right now, nothing. She is sleeping and should-"
There was a scream that came from the hallway. I took off at full speed, ending the call with Chloé. When I got to the door the screaming came from, I froze. Damian was trying to wake Marinette, she was thrashing around on the bed screaming. She was quiet but didn't stop thrashing, she kept shaking her head. She actually punched Damian, and he fell off the bed. Chloé came in just as Damian was getting up. She rushed over and tried to wake her up. I could see the pure terror in her eyes. She tried shaking her awake, yelling at her, nothing. She started thrashing harder and harder, as if trying to reach for someone. Damina, Tim and I rushed over and pinned her arms to the bed, along with her legs. Chloé held her shoulder down. A few minutes later she froze. Then slowly she opened her eyes. I sighed and released her and watched as Chloé held Mari. I saw Damian trying to calm down, but I was totally going to win that bet. When Mari went downstairs I stayed behind and pulled Chloé into a hug. She was shaking, and not talking.
"What did he say?"
I felt her clutch my shirt. "That I could save her, and that she was already gone. Losing Alya took a toll on Mari, but Adrien said he would be there for her. He lied to her, he slipped past her walls and dug his claws in. I couldn't save her. I can't save her now. I failed. With Kagami and Luka in Paris, Jagged and Penny on tour, Marinette has no one but me and her parents. Even then her parents didn't know. I am suppose to keep her grounded, Tikki makes sure to tell me, because she only told me everything. She told me about what Adrien did the first time. When. When I was locked in a closet. She refused to tell anyone what happened, she only told me, because I caught her crying in her hospital bed. I have to keep her afloat. He was just the crack in the wall, Lila finished it, by making the wall crumble and burning it to ash." She was trembling as she rambled on. I squeezed her just a little bit tighter. I heard her sigh before pressing her forehead into my chest.
"Thank you" she whispered
"For what?" I asked
"I know I'm a mess, but your there for me, and I appreciate it."
I lifted her chin up and kissed her. "Anytime Love."

~~~~~The Next Day__Damian~~~~~~~~~

Today, father thought it would be a good idea to have Marinette bring us lunch. One thing he forgot is that today, the class we hate, will be touring. Thankfully Dick will be their tour guide. Me and Marinette were cuddled up on the couch in Fathers office, when Jason and Chloé came in. They both had homework and class work they missed yesterday. I kissed Marinette and smiled when she giggled. She was much more happier today. Yesterday. I never want to see her like that again.

"Alright, Chloé has Marinette's and I have yours, Demon Spawn." Jason said as he placed the papers on the small table in front of us.
"Thanks Jason. Did you get lunch?" Marinette asked
"Yep, we got Noodles and Company." Chloé said as she pulled out a bowl and handed it to Marinette. "Your Wisconsin Mac n' Cheese, Madame." Chloé dramatically bowed as Mari took the bowl.
"Why thank you, Majesty." Mari Gabe a small bow from her seated position. Both girls burst out laughing. They were both trying to keep the mood light. Jason told me this morning, Chloé stayed in his room, afraid to be alone. Marinette sat down in the kitchen propped up against me, coffee in her hand. She wouldn't touch her sewing machine.
"Majesty? Where did that come from?" I asked
The girls giggled again. "Well, once upon a time, Chloe called herself the Queen of everything. She would walk around calling us peasants, mostly me because my parents are bakers." Mari giggled "So when we became friends and she called me Madame, I call her majesty."

I grabbed my salad, Jason bought me, and dug in. We talked the whole time, we ate. We joked around, and told stories about each other. Chloé made sure to tell me about the time Marinette thought it would be fun to try and be friends with her, and she decided that she was going to regret trying. Mari groaned, her only response was, well look at us now.
After eating, we cleaned up and was surprised when Kor'i walked in with Mar'i. Mar'i jumped out of her mothers arms and rushed over to Marinette, who caught her and spun in a circle.
"Hello, Doll. What are you doing here?" Marinette asked
"I wanted to see you. Pluse this girl downstairs kept saying she was dating Uncle Damian. I told her no, and she called me a bad name." Mar'i said with a frown and nuzzled into Marinette's shoulder. I stood and strode to the door, flinging it open I left. Ignoring the group behind me. I felt a hand grab my shoulder, but shrugged it off.
"I'm with you Little D." Jason. Why was he here?
"What are you doing Todd?"
"She went after my girlfriend too. And Mar'i is my niece as well." Was Jason's only reply.

When we caught up to the group, Dick looked ready to burst out of his skin. I found the sausage hairs girl and forced her to look at us. She gave me a flirtatious look, before it disappeared.
"What do you think your doing?" I asked
"One, I'm looking at a very handsome man. Two, how about dinner?" Lila offered
"No, gross. I heard your dating Damian Wayne?" Jason butt in.
"Yeah, isn't it great!" A blond with bright blue eyes said
"No, she's not. Damian Wayne already has a girlfriend, and it's not you." I replied
"And how would you know that?" Lila challenged
"Because I am Damian Wayne, and my girlfriend isn't you." I replied
Lila glared at me, as she grew pale. "H-How is that possible? Your dating Marislut. She's not good enough for you." She stated
"One, don't call my girlfriend a slut. Second you owe my niece an apology."
"Your who?"
"Our niece. You called her a name, that is not appropriate for children at the age of 6." Jason stated, arms crossed across his chest.
"What did she say to Mar'i?" Dick fumed
"She called her a brat and a shit maker." I replied. "You owe her an apology, you should already be expecting lawsuits from one Chloé and Marinette, along with us. You can't throw our name around and not expect repercussions." I stated.
I saw Lilas face pale drastically.
"What do you mean, she should expect lawsuits?" Alya asked
"She has been lying to all of you. She lied to you about Marinette, and about what has been happening to her. Have you ever thought to ask Marinette if Jagged Stone knew Lila? She has him on speed dial, you know."
"Chloé said she publicly apologized to you guys and the only one to forgive her was Marinette. When was the last time you checked your facts?!" Jason yelled
Dick was still fuming about Lila calling Mar'i names, but I could see four people start to smirk. They walked over and glared at the rest of the class.
"WE TOLD YOU!!" The pink hairs girl yelled.
"We told you guys, but did you listen? No! Mari forgave us before she left, but we told her we were working to earn it! You guys wouldn't hear us out, even before we told Mari, we knew Lila was lying." The guy in the athletic hoodie stated
"I told you all, there is a 100% chance that Lila was lying, you guys always listen to my calculations. You didn't listen the one time it mattered." Another spoke
"We've know her since KINDERGARTEN! Do you know how long that is? It's our whole lives. One other person has know her just as long, and he refuses to believe us. So you tell me, are you going to listen now?" The boy with headphones called out.
No one moved. We all stood there frozen, staring at each other. I got tired of it and walked back to the elevator, with Jason and the four students behind me. Oh boy, Mari is going to kill me.
