I land in my room and detransform. I can't believe that Marinette....likes me. Even more, I can't believe I spent so much time with Marinette that I missed my own dinner event. I have been planning this for months. It is the first project my dad actually let me do myself.

But she likes me?

"Adrien is that you?" I hear someone say on the other side of the door.

"Yes," I say.

"Can I come in?" Natalie asks

"Yea" I say. She walk in. 

"Your father would like to see you, he is very disappointed." She says in her usual monotone voice. 

"Okay." I sigh. I make way over to my father's office. I know how much he was counting on me to make this event a success. I failed him. Solemnly, I knock on the door.

"Come in." I hear on the other side. As soon as I open the door I begin to advocate for myself but he must have anticipate that because I barely get past 'I' before he starts.

"How could you Adrien?" His voice booms echoing throughout.

"I'm sorry father." I say in shame.

"You have disgraced my company, as a part of it you need to set a good example. Not showing up to your own event is not a good example." He says sternly.

"Of course not father." I say not daring to lift my eyes from the ground.

"From now on I no longer allow you to address me as your father. I am Gabriel Agreste the head of Gabriel. You are a model under a contract in my company. That is our relationship."He says coldly. My head snaps up. D-did he just say what I think he did? Did my father just disown me?

"B-but-" I stutter to find the right words.

"This is final." He says. I let out a sigh.

"Yes...Mr.Agreste." I say before retreating back to my room.When I walk in I see the picture of my mom on the computer. Why? Why did you leave us? Why can't you be here. I begin to cry. This is worst than I could have imagined. My dad doesn't love me, he's not my family. The screen switches to a picture of my friends and I. We look so happy together. They are the only ones who understand me. My true family.

"Adrien." I hear someone say. I think it's Plagg but I don't pay attention, I just revel in my thoughts. "Please Adrien, you can't get akumatized." So what if I'm akumatized. Unlike my dad at least Hawkmoth is there when your sad or anytime. He's so random. But he's there. He's more family than my dad has ever been. Out of the corner of my eye I can see the black butterfly appear. The only way to feel better is to drown in my feelings.

More juicy story ahead. See you soon. Bye Bye!
