What Part of Princess Don't You Understand?

Part 5

3rd person POV:

Marinette got mad and stormed out of the classroom. Everyone looked at Nathaniel, glaring at him. Marinette had changed, a lot, but they hated to see her in this state, and they knew that Nathaniel wasn't trying to get her out, but he was actually trying to bring her deeper in.

As Marinette stormed by Adrien and Ms. Bustier, Adrien grabbed her hand and pulled her towards him.

"GET OFF OF ME!!!" Marinette shouted, "YOU RUINED MY LIFE!!!"

"No." Adrien said calmly, "You did. You hurt your best friend, you are totally changing your personality, you're not the fun, kind Marinette that everyone loves."

"WHAT DO YOU KNOW ABOUT LOVE!?" Marinette screamed, "NO ONE HAS EVER LOVED YOU!! YOU HAVE CRAZY FANS WHO DON'T KNOW ANYTHING ABOUT WHAT YOU'RE REALLY LIKE!!! YOU'VE NEVER HAD A FAMILY, SO YOU THOUGHT IT WOULD BE A GOOD IDEA TO TAKE MINE AWAY FROM ME?!? JUST BECAUSE YOU DON'T HAVE ANY FRIENDS DOESN'T MEAN I DON'T!!!" Marinette started to cry, "JUST BECAUSE YOUR MOM IS GONE AND YOUR DAD WOULDN'T NOTICE IF YOU DIED DOESN'T MEAN THAT MY PARENTS WOULDN'T HAVE ALSO!!! YOU KNOW THAT YOUR DAD ONLY CARES ABOUT YOU BECAUSE YOU MAKE HIM A LOT OF MONEY, DON'T YOU!?!"

Adrien's POV:

Everything she said cut me like a knife. Her words stung, as I realized that most of them were actually true.

"You loved me." I said.

"Did she?" Nathaniel asked, butting in, and taking his girlfriend out of my arms and into his. I hated Tomato more than anything I've even incountered, even more than Hawk Moth. He was just trying to get my Princess even more miserable. He didn't deserve her. But he had her under a spell. He pulled out his phone to show ripped photos of me with scratches and darts. I pulled Marinette out of his grasp.

"Nathaniel!!" She yelled, "Nathaniel!!!"

Nathaniel tried to grab her back, but I kicked him. Huh, maybe Karate is useful after all.

"No!! Nath!!" Marinette cried. I hated that nickname so much.

"Marinette," I said, "He's trying to hurt you! He's trying to make you hate us all."

"Why would he do that?" Marinette said, "YOU'RE THE ONE THAT RUINED MY LIFE!! Alya feels betrayed and my parents don't trust me anymore! Nath is helping me!! He listens to me!!!"

"What about Tikki?" I said, referring to the Ladybug kwami, "Why can't she listen to you?"

Marinette started sobbing at the mention of her kwami's name. "Tikki...Master Fu...I gave Tikki back to Master Fu!!" She sobbed.

"Hey, hey, it's alright." I said, "Why'd you do that??"

"I...I hurt her! I hurt Tikki!" Marinette said. I was shocked. She loved Tikki more than anything in the world.

"What happened?" I said.
