_______________________________________________________

As the rain poured down, the girl couldn't help but Gaze out of the window.

Gaze at the city, the people, the buildings.

They all were connected in a type of way, Even though they've never met before. They share a bond that can't be broken or cut.

All Except her.

As the bus moved through the dark parts of her city, she took in every detail she passed. It was an early Monday morning, and the sun was slowly starting to rise. The blue eyed girl gave a silent sigh, and concentrated.

A man in a black suit, carrying a heavy briefcase. If you looked closer, you would notice, that wasn't the only thing he carried. He carried emotion. He could own everything, but still feel nothing. Maybe he had a bad day, or maybe this was him. Only she knew the backstory of this saddened soul, but she left him alone, she didn't want to judge him. because that is his life, his story. His choice.

The bus made a sharp turn, but not strong enough to break the girl's Gaze.

She watched as another person walked by, umbrella in hand. She wore nothing but black. Losing someone close to you isn't easy. You wake up everyday wishing you had spent more time with them. But now they were gone. They can go to therapy, or cry their heart out. But it wont fix the feeling that they should have tried harder. With time, this feeling will pass, or it won't. This was her choice.

They slowed down to let more people on.

A girl sat under the roof of the bus stop. Her hair wet and her eyes glossy. This was a different type of loss. The person they cared for was very much alive, But they left her. She was betrayed by the one she trusted, the one she loved. She will move on, and find her other half. Or she will build walls around her. Cutting herself off from everyone. She will live a life of solitude. Others will try to find a way to climb that wall, but will fail. When will the girl open up to the world again? That is up to her.

Once everyone was seated, they continued their journey.

You might be asking, Where was the bus going? And when will she get off? All will be revealed dear reader.

They passed several houses, then turned onto another street, this street was only occupied by one house. The Agreste mansion.

She was very much aware of the famous fashion designer. And his son. She has never seen him in real life, only on billboards and posters. Everyone must have thought how lucky the boy was to be surrounded by money and fame. But she could see past that fake smile of his.

Marinette's heart began to ache. She held onto her chest for dear life. She bit back the pain, and tried to ease her heartbeat. That was when she realised, her heart was in pain because of him.

What happened to the boy to make her heart throb this much?

The son of her most idled fashion designer was sitting at his desk in his room. He was packing his school bag with school supplies. How strange. She didn't know he went to school.

The more she looked at the boy, the more she felt like she wanted to cry.

How can Life be so cruel? It can easily take away your happiness, and replace it with nothing. The boy had a single tear running down his cheek, and a hesitant look in his eyes. What happened to the poor boy? Where were his parents? He walked out the door, with his hoodie over his head, and made his way to the bus. Once he got on, he had too much adrenaline to sit down, so he held on to the handles.

Marinette was still staring out the foggy window of the bus. Her heart had calmed, but her mind was racing with confusion and concern. It's happing again.

He couldn't help but stare at the girl. Something was different about her and he knew it. What if she was like him?

They started to move, as the bus  -yet again-  made its way to nowhere.
