What Part of Princess Don't You Understand?

Part 10: Paris:

Tom's POV:

Adrien told me that he saw Mari in an alley by the park, but I guess she moved. I got home and called Adrien's name to tell him that she wasn't there anymore, and I found a note on the table. I called my wife and told her. Everyone came to the bakery immediately.

Mom and dad,

I came back to the house and took my things and all of the bakery food. I have my phone incase I ever decide to come home. Adrien is coming with me. I am telling you this so you don't continue looking for me. I will come back when I am ready. Please don't try to convince me to come back. I am taking a break for a while. I love you. Stay strong without me.

Much love,

Marinette.

"No...no..." my wife said, "Alya, call Marinette!"

"Sure Sabine." Alya said.

She didn't pick up. Actually, she picked up to Lila's call.

Marinette-Who is this??

Lila-Marinette?

M-You are the LAST person I want to talk to, Lila.

L-Your parents made me call you.

M-Oh are you on speaker??

Sabine-Yes sweetie! Where are you?! We're worried sick!!

M-Mom, I'm fine! I can't tell you where I am, but I'm safe! I'm with Adrien!!

S-Why not!?

M-Mom, I just can't. I'm going to hang up now. Love you and miss you all! Except Lila, that is. I even miss you, Chloe, and I know that you came out looking for me, and I really appreciate it.

Chloe-No problem. Look, when you come back, can we talk?

M-Sure, and you can text me any time.

C-Really? Thanks!!

M-All of you can! Call me though, not Adrien. Love you (not you, Lila)! Bye!!

The call ended. Alya took Lila's phone and deleted Marinette's number from it.

"So...we can still communicate with her, we just can't know where she is?" I said, "Oh, I'll track her phone!"

Just then, Alya got a text.

"'Tell my parents that trying to track my phone is useless, I disabled the tracking ability on my phone.'" Alya read aloud.

"Well, maybe we just have to let her be for a bit. She'll come back when she's ready." I said.

"No! She...well...okay, that's probably smart." Sabine said, "She'll come back when she's ready."

"Um...Sabine? I...I was wondering if we could stay here tonight. I mean...not Lila or Nathaniel, but the rest of us. We could sleep in Marinette's room. All squished together. I think it...it would make me feel better." Alya said, tears staining her eyes.

"Well, alright. Lila, Nathaniel, please go home." Sabine said.

"Bye." Nathaniel and Lila said.

Alya followed them out. She came back in with a disgusted look on her face.

"They were KISSING!!!" Alya screamed, "They were all OVER each other!! And they were talking about how DUMB Marinette was for not realizing that they have been together for a month and a half!!"

Oh, that boy is going to PAY for what he did to my daughter.

"Hey, I got a text!" Rose said, "Ooh, it's Marinette!! She says to tell Nathaniel that she's breaking up with him..."

"Good." Alix said, rolling her eyes.

"And now she's dating Adrien!!" Rose squealed.

"Haha, took them long enough!" Mylene laughed.

"Finally." Juleka said.

I'm glad that Mari's girls are so supportive.

"Those two were made for each other." Kim said.

"Like me and Alya!" Nino said, "Or Ivan and Mylene! Rose and Juleka! Maybe...Sabrina and Max?Kim and Alix definitely!"

"Eww!!!" Alix and Kim said. Sabine and I laughed.

"Yeah, but they weren't as blind as you guys!" I joked.

"Let's go!" Alya said. Everyone had their stuff with them. I was very surprised.

"Let's play truth or dare!" Alya said.

"Okay!" Said everyone else.

"But TEXTING." Alya said, "So we can stay in bed. I'll make the group chat."

"Should we add Adrien and Marinette?" Nino asked.

"Naw, let's let them be." Alya said.
