AN: hey guys! It's been too long and I'm sorry for the lack of updates....but anyway the song on top is called No one's in this alone and I absolutely love it. It is one of my favorites aside from Its not like I like you and both are made by Static-P. But for now, let's read the other part of the story.

Marinette's P.O.V.

  I closed my locker only to be met by a familiar face.

"Yes Alya?", I asked as I refused to meet her eyes.

"Um, hey Marinette....uh, Nino and I were actually heading to the park and maybe you wanna come along?", she asked.

I thought about it. It could be just like old times. When we were close. Before they...........but who knows? They could have changed. And hopefully for the better.

"Sure", I replied. "I'll just call Adrien and ask if he wants to go too."

Her eyes lit up with hope.

"You sure?"

I nodded, "yeah of course."

She was about to hug me when she stepped back when she realized that it's going to take a while for things to get back just like before.

"We'll see you both there then."

"Yeah, see you Alya."

She smiled before walking off to Nino. She whispered something in his ear and he looked at me and smiled. They waved me goodbye and I did the same.

What they did to me hurt of course, but somehow, I don't think it's like me for hating someone forever. I can image Chloe and/or Lila but not me. Sometimes the mind plans things but the heart will always intervene.

After school I walked with Alya while Nino and Adrien walked behind us. It felt as if it were old times. Back before their betrayal. I know I promised myself that I would never ask this but curiosity got the best of me.

"Hey guys?"

They hummed in response.

"What did Chloe say to you that made you turn your back on me?"

They looked shocked but it was understandable.

"What brought this on dudennete?", inquired Nino.

I shrugged,"I just wanted to know what she could say that could make you all hate me so much."

They wee hesitant but eventually Adrien spoke up,"I'm not sure of theirs, but Chloe somehow found out that I was growing a crush on you and she began spreading rumors that you and Nathaniel were going out, but with my being a model, I know how twisted and misleading rumors could be. I guess what pushed me off the edge was that you weren't denying it."

I looked at him with tears glistening in my eyes, "you would've believed me?"

He nodded, "is taut why you didn't deny it? Cause you thought that even when you deny it, no one would believe you?"

I nodded slowly.

"You were wrong Mari. You have no idea how long I waited for you to deny it. How each time Chloe or anyone would hurt you, I wasn't the one who saved you. It was him."

"I never knew you felt that.", I hiccuped.

Adrien wiped the tears that fell from my eyes and handed me a cat themed handkerchief. "Don't cry, I'm not worth being cried over by your tears."

Nino cleared his throat, "I don't want to intrude on your moment, but I should tell you mine."

I nodded from him to go on.

"Well, before my grandpa passed away, he left me an old record. He said that he wrote the song for grandma and that dad used it for mom. He said that it was his first song that was actually liked. I guess you could say music runs in the genes. Well, Chloe asked me that why should I bother being your friend when you destroyed my family record. I was suspicious since I haven't told you guys about that yet, but she pointed at your locker from across the hallway and when I saw you open it, I saw you holding the broken pieces. Anger took over me and sorry is nothing compared on how I should apologize to you." He hung his head in shame.

I shook my head,"no, you don't have to anymore, Chloe caused this and we all were just stupid enough to play right out of her hand."

Alya began to openly sob, "I'm sorry. She-she made me!"

"What? What did she make you do?"

"She-she said that if I won't stop being your friend, she would see to it that my parents would be jobless and that my siblings would end up in adoption centers. You know how much power her dad has."

Chloe. You best pray that I won't see you today, or I won't be held responsible of my actions. I will make you pay. And you will be sorry.
