Song at the top ^^^

I can take the rain on the roof of this empty house
That don't bother me

Chat silently sat on top of the railing, feet perched like a cat's, as the heavy rain poured around him. He was sat on Marinette's balcony, his usually bright green eyes, now dull.

I can take a few tears now and then and just let them out
I'm not afraid to cry every once in a while

He had cried... He had cried plenty of tears over her. The thought of her soft, pretty hair, her bluebell eyes, the smile that could light up the world, his world. But he couldn't cry anymore... He'd had enough of crying over the women he lost in his life.

So now, he just sat there, on her railing, like he did every night around 2 am. It was too hard to let her go... It wasn't fair... But yet, it was. He couldn't save her in time, from her fall off the Tower. He made her lose every memory of him and her.

So...

Even though going on with you gone still upsets me

Who was he to take away her happiness? If Jace made her happy, why would he take that away from her? To be selfish? This was what he deserved, he thought. It was only fair.

There are days every now and again I pretend I'm ok
But that's not what gets me

Adrien has distanced himself from Marinette, and Chat had as well, when she told him.

What hurts the most
Was being so close

It hurt so much. Thinking that he had way more memories about the two of them, how close they were. They were like two best friends, that were dating. And all of that was gone.

And having so much to say
And watching you walk away

Seeing her holding hands with Jace everyday in school, so much that he opted to skipping school than to see the sight.

And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

If only he had shown more affection for her. Told her he loved her everyday, take her on more romantic dates. How could he let his soul mate slip through his fingers? And to Jace of all people?

It's hard to deal with the pain of losing you everywhere I go
But I'm doin' It
It's hard to force that smile when I see our old friends and I'm alone

Talking to Nino was difficult for him. Nino was his best bud, but ever since Marinette started dating Jace, he could hardly see Nino alone. He didn't even talk to Alya anymore.

Still Harder
Getting up, getting dressed, livin' with this regret

The regret he had... It hurt him, just as much as it hurt him to lose his mother. Why did everyone leave him? Everyone he loved, is gone.

But I know if I could do it over
I would trade give away all the words that I saved in my heart
That I left unspoken

If he could turn back time, he would make everything right. He would have protected Marinette better, he would have told her everything he could say, everything he wanted to say. Tell her he was Adrien, tell her he loved her more than the sun, the moon, and the stars, kiss her like there was no tomorrow.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

So now he sat here, every night, at 2 am, wishing upon every falling star, for a do over. For a second chance, a second shot at happiness with Marinette, for a way to go back to where it all went wrong.

What hurts the most
Was being so close
And having so much to say
And watching you walk away
And never knowing
What could have been
And not seeing that loving you
Is what I was tryin' to do

But you never know. Maybe that certain falling star, on that certain night...

Not seeing that loving you
That's what I was trying to do
Oh...

Will grant his wish.

First, this has nothing to do with the plot of the book. This is just a special one shot I thought of when I heard this song, while writing severed ties.

Until next time, peace!
