Breaking Free

Chapter 16- Marinette

After Damian and Jason stormed out of the room, Chloé, Mar'i and I decided to play a game instead. I pulled out my phone and we played heads up. We decided to do Disney characters were the best option. Mar'i was good, but I was better. I know that's mean to do to a kid, but still. Everything was good, till Damian and Jason walked in with Nino, Alix, Kim, and Max. I froze and slowly turned around.

"Hi guys. What's- what's going on?" I asked, my hands shaking slightly.
"We.....kinda.....outed.......ourselves." Alix said with a sigh.
"Yeah, sorry Mari." Nino stated
I made a small noise, that could have been a whine. "It's ok guys. I'm still not a 100% sure I can trust you still."
"We know, we're going yo earn it back. Don't worry to much about it." Kim said with a smile. "You know how I love a challenge."
I couldn't hold back the giggle that escaped me. I felt a hand on my leg and a tug on my shirt.
"Marinette, who is that?" Mar'i asked
"These are my other friends, Nino, Kim, Alix, and Max."
"Are they nice?"
"Yes Mar'i they are." I sighed as they came closer, and gathered me in a hug.
"How are you doing Mari?" Kim asked
"Peachy. Just Peachy."

After what felt like forever, Alix, Kim, Max and Nino left to join up with the class. I collapsed on the couch and sighed, rubbing my face to try and relieve the pressure. This sucks.
"You ok Angel?" Damian asked as he came over and wrapped his arm around me.
"I'm ok. I'm just tired"
He kissed my head, and entwined our fingers. It was silent. Chloe and Jason snuck off sometime ago. Kor'i and Mar'i left after Nino and them came in. It felt like a never ending reminder that I had no friends.
"Lets go. I wanna go to the park and see if I can get one of the moms to let me babysit their kid." I giggled, knowing full well that it wasn't going to happen.
"Yeah, you can end up like Robbie selling ice cream. You saw how well that played out." Damian responded with a chuckle.
I gasped "He was going about it the wrong way. You can't show up on a bike and call out 'Hey Kids! Who wants some ice cream?!' It doesn't work that way."
He kissed my cheek, his hand brushed against small amount of skin showing. "How would you do it then?"
"Well, I would sit on a bench and have random toys scattered around me to draw the mothers attention. Put up an add on my website. The usual."
"mmmhhhh. And when your brilliant plan crashes and burns, what will you do then?" He pushed
I giggled and smirked "Blame it on you of course."
Chuckling he stood up and grabbed a coke cola from the fridge before helping me up and escorting me to the elevator. The ride was silent, but comforting. The best part was we didn't have to say anything to fill said silence. When we got to the ground floor, we bumped into Lila, Alya, and Adrien.

"Look Marislut showed up after all." Alya snickered
Ignoring them I pushed past them. Not giving them the time of day, and dragging a very reluctant Damian. That wasn't enough though. Someone grabbed my shoulder and pulled me to a stop.
"I wasn't done talking Dupain-Cheng." Aya growled
"I wasn't even listening to you, so......goodbye."
I turned to leave a second time, but was shoved. I hit the ground hard. My wrist was bent the wrong way. Crap, not again. Suppressing the urge to cry out, pushed myself up and glared at them. I straightened my hand as much as I could to make it look normal, before standing and walking out.
"Hey!! Were're not done!!"
I didn't stop, but i burst into a sprint. I ran all the way back to the Manor. I slammed my bedroom door close and collapsed. That stupid-UGH!!!! I looked at my wrist, saw and felt nothing major broken. I slowly moved it around. Sharp pain shot through me, like a bullet. Gritting my teeth, I moved it into place. I didn't scream, but tears escaped my eyes. Taking a bandage from the closet, I wrapped my wrist tightly. Taking a deep breath I looked around the room. Adrey wasn't to return till next week. This was going to be so very painful. There was knock on the door.
"Mari?"
Damian.
"Go away"
I heard the door open and close. I slid a blanket over myself, and covered my wrist. This is going to be difficult to hide.
"Marinette, are you ok?"
A breathy laugh escape, "Yeah, just fine. You know Lila, being Lila."
Damian gave me a deadpaned look before glancing at the wrists hidden behind the blanket. He gently tugged at the blanket. When I came into my room, I threw my shirt across the room so I was only in a bra and my pants. I was about to put a tank-top on, but I obviously didn't have enough time to do that. I let the blanket slip ever so slightly, and he paused. He stepped closer and tugged the blanket so it was below my shoulders. I watched as his hand tugged at the opening where my hands were holding it closed. He tugged it hard and it slipped completely. I gasped. Instead of grabbing my hand and checking my wrist, he pulled me against him and kissed me breathless. My hands wrapped around his neck as he kissed me. And kissed me. And kissed me. A groan escaped as his hands started to roam. I stopped thinking. Stopped remembering. All I knew is that Damian was kissing me, and it was intense and hungry.
I felt every inch he touched. I felt every kiss against my lips. I felt his breath mingle with my own.
"...Marinette..." He whispered against my neck.
Breathing was difficult. So I stepped back. Kissing him once more.
"Are you ok Mari?" Damian asked as he inspected my wrist.
"I'll be fine. Its not the first time this happened." I said, not making eye contacts hen he looked at me. I pulled away from him and pulled out a shirt. I really should have done that when I got inside my room. I shook my head, too late now.
"I don't care what you say, I gonna kill her." He said and stormed out of the room. I sighed and texted Dick.

Damian on rampage to kill Lila. Only jump in if he starts getting physical.

Got it.
