"Because her yo-yo is ruined she probably can't transform. Which means I shouldn't capture their miraculous then." I sighed as I spun around in my chair.

"[Name] sweetheart what's been going on since then?" I didn't turn around because it didn't make sense. "You're not going to talk to dad?" He patted my head. "Don't tell me you're out growing me." He laughed.

"Well Chloe is mad at me." He went to my bed and sat down. "How come?" I was still in shock. "She says I'm very secretive about things with her, which I am, but I have my reasons."

"You just gotta give her time. Chloe admires you as if you're her sister." I've never thought of us as sisters, just bestfriends. "Yeah you're right. Hey dad why are you here?"

He seemed surprised. "Because it's what you want." I didn't know what he meant. "Your mind is imagining me here." My dad gets up to look around the room. "Your mother has always had a great sense of style." He smiled to himself.

"So you're not real?" He shook his head no. How come he was so nonchalant about it? "Traumatic experiences can change someone." Of course I was confused. I sighed.

"Dad what are you talking about?" He frowned. "The day I died, I was coming home. You were waiting for me and when you saw me you ran out the house, while your mother was in the kitchen."

"You saw me get shot, traumatic events can change someone. It's why you have to take medicine. But you're mother didn't want to tell you, maybe because she didn't want you to think you had problems."

It was like he unlocked a memory that I didn't have access to. "If you don't take your medicine, you lose your sanity." My eyes widened. "And that's what's going on right now, that's why you're here."

"You're absolutely correct. Though it seems like it's been like this for a while, two weeks now." Yeah that's when Felix left. "So if I don't take it you stay?" He seemed reluctant to say anything.

"You could say that, but losing your sanity means you lose what's in front of you." I smiled. "If that means you can be by my side then I'll lose my sanity for that." I go up to him and see if I could hug him.

"I can hug you." My tone was overall happy. "Come with me." He said and I followed. "You haven't even checked where the medicine was, right?" He went into the bathroom and opened the cabinet. "No I've never thought to check."

He sighed. "We raises you to be a smart girl, yet not checking is dumb." I chuckled. "What can I say, I have my moments." He handed me the bottle and I turned back into my room. I glanced around, trying to find a hiding spot.

"Under the mattress. Put it in a ziplock bag and toss it under there." I hit my fist into my palm. "What a genius." Of course I did what my father suggested. Every time I took a glance at him he was frowning.

"Adrien and I are dating." Maybe if I tell him something happy he'd be happy. "You sure are growing, all of you are." His smile was sincere. I felt my eyes water.

"I would love to see Felix, Adrien and Chloe. I would love to see everyone especially your mother." He chuckled. "I'd do anything to see her again." Tears fell from his eyes. I wanted to hold mines back but, how could I?

"I'll make sure you get to see her again, we'll be a family like before." I was sobbing, hard and loud. "Dad-" My knees hit the ground and my head in his lap. "Please believe that I will do whatever it takes."

"[Name], of course I believe that you'll do it." His smile turned into a frown. "But I don't want to ruin what you have now. I don't want to take away that happiness."

Happy? "No I feel confused and miserable. Dad I feel so alone without you, can't you see?!" I backed away slowly grasping my hair. "That's why you're here." I nearly whispered as he stood up coming towards me.

As long as I don't take those pills, "We can be together forever." I smiled at him as tears streamed down my face. "You have to take them. Look at you." He grabbed my face, bringing it towards the mirror. "You're falling into despair."

I simply laughed. "No dad, this is hope." I held a grip on the miraculous. "Sweetheart listen to me. This is hope disguised by despair. And you are falling way too deep."

"Dad I love you so much." I begin to laugh and cry at the same time. "[Name]!?" My door flew opened and my father was nowhere to be found. "Dad? Where did you go?" The room was spinning.

"Calm down." I looked up and saw Felix holding me while Adrien stood in the back. "Who were you talking to?" Felix shaky voice filled my ears. I continued to look around the room.

I smiled. My dad was on my bed smiling. "Dad." I looked back at the boys and gave my biggest smile. "No one is there." Adrien spoke up. I sighed and threw my hands up. "You don't see what I'm seeing, I get that. Sanity is sinking."

They seemed confused. "Ah, goodnight. I'm quite busy tomorrow." I get up and dust myself of. "[Name] what's gotten into you?" Felix asked. I flopped on my bed and muffled my face into my pillow.

Then I stopped. "For the first time in a while I'm really happy." "Have you been taking your medicine?" I frowned. "Of course Felix, I'm a responsible young girl."

I pointed to the empty bottle. "I actually finished it all today." He nods and takes the bottle. "I'll get you more tomorrow." After that he left.

"Adrien I bet you're tired after today, you should go to sleep." He didn't move or say anything, he just stared. I sighed. "What you want to sleep with me?"

"Yeah I do actually. I got a lot to discuss and I wanna do it before our sleepover with Chloe." I was shocked on his answer. I looked behind me. "Go ahead, you can have me accompany you anytime sweetheart."

"Okay Golden Turd, come on." I patted the empty space in my bed and smirked. "No funny business either."
