Save Me From Myself

Flatline and Hope

Adrien POV

When I got the call that something was up with Marinette, something bad, I didn't know how to react. I was heart broken. I rushed to the hospital, and when I got there, Alya told me she flatlined. They revived her but her organs were shutting down on her. And then I went home, I couldn't take it.

My room felt like a cold dungeon. I cried on my bed and cried until I almost threw up. Charm sat at the foot of my bed with her ears down.

"Kid, it-it's going to be okay." Plagg said trying to cheer me up. It wasn't. I was losing hope that she would wake up. She's Marinette, She's Ladybug. Paris would be an empty city without them.

I picked up Charm and held the poor cat as if that was my lifeline. I felt alone, I felt like I was losing a part of me, the good part of me.

I stood up and walked to the bathroom, hiccuping. I locked the door and turned on the shower. As I took off my jeans and was about to put them in the hamper, the lucky charm Mari gave me fell to the floor I picked it up and held it to my chest choking on sobs.

All I wanted was for Marinette to be awake and healthy, and I wanted my mom. I didn't understand what Marinette did to deserve the pain she felt. I didn't understand why my mom wasn't in this house. I started blaming everyone. My dad for not being there for me. Chloe for bullying Marinette. The teachers for not punishing Chloe. Classmates for staying silent. But most of all, myself for being silent.

"WHY?!" I yelled at the top of my lungs and punched the mirror above the sink. Shards of the mirror littered the ground and my knuckles were bleeding. I cursed under my breath from how much my knuckles stung. I turned off the water and put my pajamas on when I heard a knock on my door.

"Adrien? Adrien what's going on? I heard a crash. Open the door." I heard Nathalie rambling from the other side of the door.

"Go away." I choked out. There was a pause before Nathalie spoke again.

"Are you okay, Adrien?" She asked. She sounded more sincere and sympathetic. My eyes burned front tears and my breath was shaky.

"Open the door." I listened that time and opened the door. She examined my hand and my face before letting out a sigh.

"Let's get your hand cleaned up and let you rest." Her serious composer was coming back but was still loose. She got a first aid kit and cleaned a bandaged my hand. I stayed silent the whole time, not even being able to think. When she left the room, I curled up on my bed and Charm laid on the pillow beside me.

Nathalie POV

I walked into Mr. Agreste's office without a second thought about it. I walked into the black and white office. "Nathalie, I did not say to come in." Mr. Agreste nearly spat while looking between his computer and sketch pad.

I turned the tablet around to face him and showed him the pictures of Adrien's broken mirror, his knuckles, and a picture of Marinette. "What did th-."

"Your son needs you." I cut Mr. Agreste off from the nonsense he was about to say. "This girl," I pointed to my screen and pointed to the girl with her derby hat, "this is one of Adrien's best friends and she is in the hospital from an overdose. He has been torn up about this for over a week. Emilie isn't here but you are. Do your job as a parent and be there for him." I swiftly placed the tablet on Mr. Agreste's desk before he could reply and walked out.

Adrien POV

I felt someone shake my shoulder slightly and I jumped. I opened my eyes and rubbed the sleep out of them, and then I noticed my dad sitting on the edge of my bed. I didn't say a word, only sat up and stared at my lap while playing with the ring on my finger.

"Son, I know I haven't been a great father," not gonna argue there, "but I care for you so much and apologize for not being around very much. I know it's been heard since..." he trailed off. It's been hard since mom disappeared but I was able to look past it. About Marinette, I haven't even been able to see my hand in front of my face. Father handed me the tablet that was in his hands and it was a picture of Marinette when she won her prize for the derby hat. "Go to the next picture." He said in a slightly less monotone voice. I swiped the screen and it was a picture Nathalie took of all of us.

"Oh Marinette..." I choked back a sob. Everything seemed impossible and unreal. Something happened as I was gazing at the picture. Father hugged me. It wasn't something I was use to but accepted any comfort I could get.

As he let go he stood up abruptly and gave me a sincere look. "I promise you that she will be okay." He said and then left the room.

I blinked a few times and sighed. I laid down and tossed and turned trying to get to sleep, I just needed to escape for a little bit. I drifted off and felt Plagg lay on my shoulder and Charm lay beside me.

When I woke up, my phone was going off but I ignored it, not fully aware of what it was. The phone went off a second time and I answered to hear Alya...happy?

"Adrien, she's waking up!"

I could explain all of my excuses but I'm gonna give it to y'all straight forward. I have school! And I rarely have time to write! I actually finished this chapter 2 weeks ago but something messed up and for some reason the whole thing deleted so I had to rewrite it. I am very thankful for you all giving so much support and for being patience. Please continue to stay patience because this story isn't over. Also please know I read all your comments and they make me very happy! I can't describe how much I appreciate y'all!

Okay it's 4 in the morning I sleep now.

AND I CAN CONFIRM THAT THE NEXT CHAPTER WILL BE UP FRIDAY OR SATURDAY BECAUSE IM ON BREAK
