Save Me From Myself

Crashing

No one POV

"Girl, you have got to tell me what's going on. You haven't eaten lunch. You haven't sketched at all today. And you didn't even look at Adrien today." Alya said worried, placing a hand on her forehead to see if she was sick. Marinette gave her a reassuring smile to try to calm her friend down.

"I'm fine, Alya. I'm just tired. I didn't get a lot of sleep last night." Marinette lied. She really felt weak. She wanted to cry.

"You never get enough sleep." Alya giggled. "Oh, there's my ride. Bye, girl." Alya bid her friend goodbye getting in her car. Marinette was about to head home but was tripped.

"Well, if it isn't my favorite person, Maritrash. How was your trip?" Chloe laughed.

"Great." Marinette said under her breath.

"Leave me alone Chloe." Marinette barked, tears threatening to spill. She started to stand back up but was kicked back down.

"Don't talk to me like that. Oh, and my Adrikins wanted me to give you a message. He said he thinks you're absolutely repulsive and worthless. And try losing a pound or two." Chloe said poking Marinette's chest with each word. Tears fell from the bluenette's face. She ran away from Chloe, running into someone else.

"Hey, Marinette. You okay?" A boy asked. She looked at who it was, it was Adrien. His eyes were filled with worry but Marinette just ran past him, not wanting him to see her cry. She knew Adrien wouldn't say something like that, he's too much of a gentleman, right? But she didn't want to be a burden. That's all she has ever felt lately. Like a burden. A mistake. She didn't understand why. She ran up to her apartment, to her room. Tikki flew out of her purse to comfort her crying holder.

Marinette POV

My mind was screaming at me. My head hurt and all I felt was pain. My spirit crashed.

Stupid!
Pathetic!
Ugly!
Unwanted!
Worthless!
Mistake!
Fat!

I fell to my knees in tears covering my face. I'm crashing. Chloe's been treating me like this for weeks now.

I stood up and looked at the pictures of Adrien. With a heavy heart, I started taking them down. Carefully, I took every last thing down and put them neatly in a box and put it in my closet.

"Marinette?" Tikki asked.

"I'm okay, Tikki. I'm just gonna go take a shower." I said and walked to the bathroom.

I turned the water and made sure it wasn't too hot. I took off my clothes and took down my pigtails and stepped in the shower letting the warm water run down my back. I cried and cried in there until I couldn't cry anymore.

I finished my shower and when I walked back out of the bathroom in my pajamas, I realized it was getting dark. Tikki was asleep on my pillow up in the loft. I went up and sat on my bed. I laid down and thought.

Being Ladybug and Marinette is so stressful. I just...I'm too weak. I probably am a burden to Chat.

I'm probably a burden to everyone. I have no chance with Adrien. He loves Ladybug. Everyone loves Ladybug.

Next day, no ones POV

Marinette ran through the hall of the school towards her class late as usual. She successfully snuck into class and sat down in her seat next to Alya.
