My mouth opened and closed. The air in my lungs seemed to have ran out.  My heart started to hurt, the hurt slowly spreading to my whole body, making it numb. 

He liked someone else.

Of course he did.

He's a model. 

What did you expect??

I wanted to play it out confidently, to suppress all the emotions that were exploding inside of me. I wanted to be confident.

'Oooh who's the lucky girl?' smirkingly, confidently, teasingly, my eyebrows rising up and down.

"Um, sure... Who-who is it?" I cleared my throat, avoiding his eyes. So much for confidence.

Jealousy started nibble away at my heart when he smiled coyly and looked down.  

"I can't tell you... I will, but not yet. Until then, can you please help me out?" 

Why not now Adrien? Am I that untrustworthy?

"Okay, can you tell me why you like her?"

He started to blush, his face glowing. He smiled, a different type of smile. He looked like a completely different person. So this was lovesick Adrien. I'd always imagined what it would be like, him finally liking me as much as I liked him. 

Guess someone else took my place.

Oh, this was going to hurt.  

"Oh she's amazing. She's so confident and beautiful. She's so smart and daring, always brave no matter what the situation is. Yet despite all that, she cares about everyone and she's always placing others before her. Everyday, it's a new adventure with her and everyday I wake up hoping I'll see her again."

Adrien was describing a girl I could never be. 

That moment was when I truly understood, I never really had a chance with Adrien Agreste. The famous supermodel, the perfectly gorgeous guy with millions of fans. One of the most compassionate, caring person I've ever met.

He won my heart through a simple act of kindness. 

Now someone had won his.

And it wasn't me.

"I've been trying to tell her my feelings for a while now, but she never really payed any attention to it, she thought I was just kidding around." he started picking the bark off the tree, throwing it. 

Stupid girl. 

How can she ignore someone like you?

There was a tense silence between us. He wanted to say more, but I didn't want to hear anymore. If he continued to gush over this girl, I don't think my heart would able to break into more pieces. 

The bell rang in the distance, like my silent prayer had been answered

"We should get down." he said quietly, sadly.    

"Yeah." I said quietly too, absorbed in my own bubble of sadness. 

The view front of me was beautiful, so beautiful I could stay up here forever. But the view down was terrifying, I felt like I would die just by looking. 

I was Ladybug, I jumped off  the Eiffel tower. Wasn't I meant to be brave?

Well, to be fair, I had a magical Yoyo that didn't let me break my neck, now I didn't. But, bravery would've been nice to have right now.

"Do you need help? I don't want you to fall." he held out his hand. I wanted to take it, I really did, but it made the butterflies go wild inside, so no thanks.

"Nope, I'm fine thanks. I got to be brave sometimes, can't always have a knight in shining armour to save me, am I right?" 

I clambered my way down, praying to every God I knew, hoping I  could dissolve into thin air. 

"We'll talk about this later... I promise. Got to go now, bye!" before he came down completely, I fast walked away, hoping the foolish tears didn't just make me have a breakdown right then and there.

"Marinette wait!" I stood there and then slowly turned around.

"I don't know how to tell her. So I wanted advice from someone I really trusted. I trust you Marinette, please help me out." he looked at me desperately. Just like that the broken pieces started to attract to each other, like a magnet attracting to one another. 

Somehow, I felt important. Out of every person in this school, Adrien told ME his secret. That's got to mean something right? I kept on hoping that it does, that I meant more to him than a friend. Clearly, I couldn't anymore. But, I could become a best friend right?

I mustered up the best smile I could, not letting those bubbling emotions get the best of me. 

"Your secret is safe with me Adrien. I'll do everything I can to help you win the girl's heart."

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I'm alive. 

Shocking I know. 

What has it been? A year? 2 years?

I don't know.

But I really want to continue this book, because I love Miraculous more than I love myself sometimes...

Your support is much appreciated. 

This chapter is rushed, but I will progress from this. 

Oh and many events that have happened already in Miraculous, might be twisted and turned to suit my story. 

The chapter's length also varies. 

Thank you so much!!
