Marinette's POV
"No!!! CHAT NOIR!!" I threw my yoyo at him to pull him back up. He used cataclysm and broke the string of my yoyo. Chat! What are you doing?! I said,"Lucky charm!!!" A large bouncy object appeared out of the sky. It was bouncy like a trampoline, and cushioned like a bean bag. I threw it at him hoping he would land on it. I had to save Chat no matter what he was trying to do.
Flashback
Tikki and I were standing on my balcony talking and admiring the start night sky. I noticed a black figure sitting ok top of the Eiffel Tower. Chat Noir. What is he doing out, we don't have patrols today. "Tikki! Spots on!" I transformed and head toward Chat. He was staring out. What was he staring at? I was standing next to him now. His eyes looked so dull so lifeless. He was so distant although I was only mere inches from him. His cheek...was bleeding? What happened? I reached out to touch it, but he caught my hand and shoved me away. I gasped at his coldness. I saw him look at the ground. He stood up, then leaned forward. Chat if you are playing a joke on my this isn't funny.
End of flashback
Chat's eyes closed. He landed softly on my lucky charm. I was holding him in his arms. What happened to you Chat? Both cheeks were red only one with blood. I wanted to clean it up, but I had no medical supplies. Everyone was crowding around us. I think someone called the police. People were panicking. I told everyone to leave. Slowly but surely everyone dispersed. I looked at Chat. He looked so sad, lost, depressed. I wanted to help him. I don't know if he would want me to know then.

Chat's POV
"Mama! Mama!"

"Yes?" She said.

"Do you like my new pajamas?" I asked. I was wearing my cat onsies. It had a hood on it with cat ears.

"It looks so good on you, Chaton. I love your ears." She touched them. She kissed my forehead and twirled me around. I giggled.

"What's your favorite flower?"

"Pink roses. Roses means love, and pink is my favorite color."

"Your mother isn't coming home. You don't need this anymore."

"Your just a painful memory of your mother."

I jolted awake. I slowly opened my eyes. The light was blinding. Someone was above me. "Ladybug?" My voice was weak. She crushed me in a hug.

"Thank goodness you're okay!" What happened? "Now tell me why you jumped. Tell me." All the memories flooded back to me. My pain came back. My escape...disappeared. Ladybug saved me. Why? I didn't want saving. I just wanted the torture to end.

I got up. "You are about to change back. Leave." I said coldly. I wanted to be alone. I started walking but fell.

"I am not leaving you after you did that. I don't care if I detransformed. You know who I am already. So come back to my house with me. Tell me what happened! I want to help you." I could hear how desperate she was.

How did she know that I knew? "No one has ever care before. So why do you? You have no reason to care. You don't even know me." I said. Even though My heart wanted to tell her. My brain said not to. To end it once and for all. To leave this awful place.

"You are my partner. My friend! My best friend! I care how you feel. Please just tell me." I gave in. I didn't want to fight. I followed her to her house. She detransformed me and brought me in for a hug. She was so warm just like my mother. My limit broke. I started crying. The tears didn't stop. I didn't want her to see me like this. I couldn't help it. I was so broken, so vulnerable. I wanted to be healed. At this point to me, it seemed near to impossible. My heart was in a million pieces.

Marinette just comforted me. Held me. I loved this girl. Would she love me back? I didn't want more heartbreak. I was calming down. Just small tears drilled down my face occasionally. "Do you want to talk about it?" I nodded into her chest. I sat down on her bed, and she sat next to me.

"My mother. She dissapeared when I was a small child. Once she left, my dad turned cold, a-abusive." My voice cracked. "I tried to do want he wanted hoping that one day he would love me again, but every time I slipped up he hit me, kicked me, and hurt me. It didn't have to be big either. Something simple like talking back or forgetting something. I hid my bruises and scars with makeup. I did it well. No one noticed anything for a while anyway. You noticed.

"People look at me as a perfect example of well, perfection. I didn't want to be that image. If my dad was happy that I did it, I did it. Today, I miss an important event. When I came home, he scolded me. He told me I was a painful reminder of my mother. He beat me with a stick kind of thing. It hurt so much. I was bleeding and bruised. I couldn't sleep so I let outside as Chat to get air. I fell to escape. To meet my mother. I didn't want to live like this anymore. I wanted to go." The poor girl was in tears. She was crying her eyes out. I embraced her and said,"It's okay, Princess. Don't worry about me. I'll be okay. I have you of course."

She broke the hug and screamed,"Chat! YOU AREN'T OKAY! Stop pretending you are! You almost killed yourself! How can I not worry about you?" Her voice got quieter. "You don't deserve to live in a place like that. How could a father treat his own son like that. I'm so sorry, Chat." She dried her tears. "I want you to listen to me okay? Look at me." I stared into her dark blue eyes. They almost sparkled. "You are welcome to come here anytime you want." I nodded not breaking from her eyes. We were so close. My lips were inches from hers. I leaned in slowly closing my eyes. Our lips touched and electricity rubbed through my veins. I was hungry for love. I have been without it for so long. I broke the kiss and looked at her. She was blushing. Pink just highlighting her face.

"Thank you, Princess. I'll be back soon. I promise." I got up. She caught my hand.

"Wait, are you going back to your house?"

I nodded in response. "I have no where else to go." I didn't want to go back, but if I didn't my dad...I didn't want to think about what he would do. "Goodnight, Princess." I kissed her cheek. As I left and jumped from building to building, I felt a warm feeling inside of me. It felt good. I finally found my REFUGE.
