Marinette's POV

"Ring, Ring!" sounded my alarm. I groaned as I attempted to basically roll out of bed. I got dressed in my normal attire with my back brace on underneath and brushed my blackish-blue hair. I left it down today, and I let it frame my face. Most of my bruises were gone now so I didn't need to apply too much makeup. I applied mascara, a light pink lip gloss, and even a tad of eye shadow. It was going to be my first day back from the accident, and I readied myself to be for the waves of questions about to overthrow me. I don't think anyone actually knows what really happened. And honestly I was very happy about it. I fastened Chat's necklace proud my neck and took one last glance into the mirror. Not bad for a first day.

Satisfied, I grabbed my crutches and slowly made my way down the stairs. I ate some cereal, grabbed my backpack, and left for school. It took almost twice as long to get there because I wasn't very practiced with these crutches. Luckily, when I entered the classroom, the bell rang. Yes! I thought. Made it just in time. Alya ran up to me and hugged me.

"Girl, I miss you so much!" Alya exclaimed. All I could go was chuckle. She helped me up to my desk and get everything situated.

"Look who finally showed up to school!" a snobby voice said. "I bet you did all of this for the attention," she claimed while laughing that annoying laugh.

Just when I was about to fire back another insult another voice came in to defend me. "Lay off Chloe! Marinette is in enough pain right now so don't add to it." To my surprise that voice belonged to no one other then Adrian Agreste.

"Adrikins! How could you defend this little brat?" Chloe protested.

"Stop Chloe! This is the end of it. Go sit down and stop bothering Marinette," the blond Parisian commanded. Chloe pouted but did as told. Adrian walked up to me and said,"I hope she didn't cause you too many problems."

"No! Not at all! Thank you though. For what you did," I managed to say.

"No problem! I hope you're doing well, Mari..nette." He almost called me Marie. Only Chat called me that. "I like your necklace by the way. Where did you get it?"

"Umm...no one in particular. I can't really tell, sorry." I clutched my necklace remembering that amazing day. As the day went on, I was bombarded with questions just as suspected. Things like "What happened?" Or "Are you ok?" Or "Does it hurt now?" Or "Are you comfortable?" I was getting kinda annoyed but I wasn't overwhelmed. I always gave the same answers. "I got hit be a car, I am fine right now, only a little, and not really." Of only I had Tikki! I miss her so much!

It was lunch. Chloe decided to waltz up to me. "Hey Marinette! Where did you get that necklace? I bet those stones are fake."

"For you're information, Chloe, they aren't fake. These diamonds are real!" I shouted at her.

"Who would buy you a diamond necklace? You're just a nobody!" she threatened. She ran up to me and grabbed my necklace. I gasped in horror as she ripped it off my neck. She threw it on the floor causing it to shatter.

"No!!!" I yelled! I dropped the ground which make pain surge through my broken leg. I didn't care. I carefully picked up all the pieces and clutched them to my chest. I stood up as carefully as I could, grabbed my crutches, and made my way to the lockers. Tears flew from my eyes both from physical and emotional pain. I heard a loud scream, I didn't care. I fled from school and hid my face in an alleyway. I started sobbing loudly. How could she? She broke my necklace. The one that Chat gave to me. I can't replace it. I swear. I will kill her for this! She won't get away this time. I saw a black and purple butterfly flutter towards me. I didn't care. I wasn't Ladybug anymore I am just plain old weak Marinette. I was enveloped in dark purple.

"Hello, Shatterette. (Stop judging me! I said stop!! Jk guys. I didn't know what to call her.) I will help you destroy Chloe if you give me Ladybug and Chat Noir's miraculous." Hawkmoth proposed.

I know better than to give in to my pain. "No! I will not hurt Chat for you! I will not give you his miraculous. I love him, you hear!!! Get away from him and me!" I screamed.

"Since you refused you will feel my wrath! Thanks for the useful information!" His voice faded but as soon as it did, I felt some sort of force squeeze every part of my body mercilessly. I couldn't cry out either. The pressure in my head sky rocketed. I felt as if hundreds of thousands of pounds was pushing on me. I collapsed, falling towards the ground in pain. As soon as I hit the concrete, the pressure ascended. I was weeping harder than ever.

"PRINCESS!" I heard a voice shout. My vision went blurry then completely black.

A/N: A very emotional chapter. Sorry for the cliff hanger. I don't think I will make a lot of cliff hangers in my stories. Anyone else think Chloe was being a jerk?

Tomorrow will me Adrian/Chats side. I will skip around places, and I will conclude it with more of the story. Thanks so much for reading this chapter! Also I apologize for not uploading this earlier.
Remember love,live, learn!
