Adrein's pov

I didn't mean to upset her. I just couldn't control my temper, and now I can't find her either. I searched everywhere but still couldn't find her. Felix got back from his date with Bridgette and they were now studying. Since they came into the house from the back, they didn't hear the fighting. I decided not to bother them since they were having fun.

I went downstairs and saw moms bruised face. "Marinette's missing!" I yelled to them. They both stop an stare in disbelief. Mom called the police while dad called the detective. I sat on the stairs and let the tears fall. I really missed her. I don't know what I would do without her.

Moments later the police arrived and started investigating the house. "In her room some clothes, her school bag, a duffel bag and her jacket are missing." I told the police. "If I didn't know any better I would've said she ran away. Anything that could've triggered that behaviour?" The female police said. I sat down, put my head in my hands and started sobbing. I told the cop everything that happened. All from the beginning.

The cop suggested that we go to shoppers drug mart first (the one with beds) and check there. We asked the cashier and showed pictures. The lady took us to her room and all we saw was a pool of blood on the floor. There was a note saying 'I took the brat and she's going to get what she deserved!'

I sat down and cried. I cried my heart out. She was going to die. I just know it. And it's all my fault.

Pain. So much pain. I opened my heavy eyelids to see a huge room with only me in it. Blood. There is blood coming out of my arm. A huge cut. It hurts. I got up and went to the door. It was locked. Hey, it's just like those mystery things. The character is to dense to remember they have a phone. I pulled it my phone, 100%. Perfect. I call Adrein. He picks up. "Are you alive? ANSWER ME MARINETTE ARE YOU ALIVE?"

"No dummy, I'm dead"

"No time to be joking! I was worried sick about you!"

"You sound like mom in her overprotective state"

"I don't care. Where are you?"

"I haven't the slightest idea. Use the find your iPhone app, I obviously have my phone with me"

"Why didn't I think of that?"

"Because I'm the smarter one, hurry up so my phone doesn't die." I said as I sat down.

"Okay, bye, and stay safe"

"... Bye.... I love you."

I quickly cut the phone as I heard footsteps and started pretending to talk to myself. "Please, someone, ANYONE FIND ME!" I yelled out to thin air, as a figure came out from the dark, but with a hoodie on. "Who are you?" I asked pretty harshly, not getting up because of pain. The person came out of the dark, though was covered with a huge sweater, one that wasn't mine. This person had a female-like figure, so I could easily say she was female.

She said no words, and that scared me. She just walked around in a circle around me for what seemed like forever, and she had a knife in her hand.

"OPEN THE DOOR IN THE NAME OF THE POLICE!!" We heard. She ran up to me, slid the knife across my whole leg and ran away, leaving no traces that she was there. She was wearing gloves and shoes and had all her hair intact. I didn't even see any hair. Blood poured out of my leg until my vision became blurry. I saw Adrien and tons of cops. Adrien ran up to me and called 9-1-1. The ambulance soon got here. Adrien was watching me the whole time, and I tried to keep consciousness but I just couldn't.

I heard muffled voices and sobbing. I wanted to wake up, but I couldn't. Was I dead? No, I couldn't be. Or could I? I heard someone say " She's in a coma". And the word 'coma' a lot more times. I did a project on comas once so I'll try to get their attention.

I focused all my energy on my good hand, the one that wasn't injured and moved it up. I tried a circle, but it was a preschool circle, very sloppy. I heard louder muffled voices and movements. I put down my hand and focused on my eyes. I opened them, and it got easier. I took a few blinks and I was conscious again!

I felt arms around me, and I looked at who it was it was Adrien. I put my good arm around him and we hugged each their untill the doctor wanted to give me a check up.

I was in the hospital for a couple of hours, and they put stitches on my leg and my arm. I'm just lying in the hospital bed doing nothing. They said they would release me tomorrow, but I don't want to go home. I don't not want to see my parents fight, but it is what it is.

***

The dreaded day came, the day I had to go home. They weren't major stitches so I got them taken out already, I just need a lot of rest and water. Mom picked me up from the hospital and I saw a huge bandage on her face. I was still very mad at her, so I didn't say a word.

When we got home, I put my school bag and duffel bag away, and then walked to Adrien's room since I couldn't run. I opened the door and he was still asleep. Late sleeper. I went to Felix's room and saw him and Bridgette asleep on the desk, holding hands though. I decided to leave them be since they are together. I went to my room and laid down thinking about the past week. Drama filled, heart-breaking, hurtful. Very hurtful. I doze off into sleep thinking about all the pain inflicted.

BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BUZZ-BEE-DO-BEE-DO-BEE-DO-BEE-DO-BEE-DO-BEE-DO *smack**groan*.

I heard Adrien's groan from down the hall. Adrein's alarm is loud as... I don't even know what would be that loud. I'm not going to school seeing as I got discharged from the hospital 3 hours ago. 3 hours of sleep. Nice. Pawsitively purrfect. I love cats, and their puns. I get up and force myself downstairs.

As I got downstairs I saw Adrein. I sad good morning and grabbed one of his pancakes. "Give it back!" He yelled. Classic Adrein. I took a huge bite and waved it in his face. I need the fat. I'm skinnier than I stick. I sat across from him and kept eating his pancakes until there where none left.

"What's wrong with you?!" Adrein yelled. "The real question is what ISNT wrong with me?" I replied, and he just sat there with a confused look on his face. "Hasn't anyone ever told you it isn't good to stare?" I said as long f I was a sassy mother, going up the stairs. I flopped onto my bed and a few minutes later I heard the door shut. That must've been Adrein, Felix, and Bridgette leaving for school.

"Mari let's go out, I have places to be!" I heard my dad yell from his room. I groaned, took a quick shower, and slipped on a crop top with a skirt.

((A/n: Mari's outpfit but knee length skirt(I hate clothes descriptions and love photos))
I went to my mirror and curled my hair. I knew we were going to my dad's office and all the people dress classy and formal, I wanted to stick out. I went downstairs and put on my pink flats. "Dad I'm ready!" I yelled into the house and he came downstairs.

"You aren't wearing that" he said the moment he saw me. "Why not? If you can give me a reason personal to this case then I'll change. And I want to stand out" I said cheerfully. He just opened the door and pointed to the car. I got into the front seat and within a hour we were at the office.

Everyone was looking at me, and my dad and I got many compliments. "See? If I had changed people wouldn't care!" He looked at me and walked into my office. I went to the section I always go to, the section for kids. I sat on my favorite, comfy chair and pulled out my phone.

I scrolled through social media satisfying all my notifications, and I went to wattpad. My 2 favorite authors are donutandfries and GreekMythology17 . They write great books. I was reading Hospital girl by donutandfries when a kid my age came up to me, pushed me to the side, and sat on the chair.

I pushed him with all my might and he fell to the ground. I glared at him. "What do you think your doing?" I said trying to act mean. I saw tears as he got up from the floor. "I'm sorry!" I managed to get out of me. I felt really bad. "It's ok, I'm just not very used to people" he said as he wiped his tears. I moved over and motion him to sit to.

"My name is Marinette, but you can call me Mari!" I said full of confidence. I want to get to know him. "M-my names Antonio" he said the, he seemed uneasy. "Um, I hope you don't mind me asking but why aren't you used to people?" I asked, my voice full of cation. "Well, um, I had cancer since I was born. When I'm not at the hospital I coped up at home being homeschooled, but I'm all better now!" He exclaimed while he was doing jazz hands.

"Y-you look very pretty!" He said to me, eyeing me up and down. "Thanks!" I said back, knowing today will be a good day.

We have been talking for hours now, and he's going to be coming to our school now that he is cured. It'll be nice seeing a friendly face around. I also told him what was going on in my family, since he told me what was going on in his.

"Marinette, it's time to leave!" Dad said to me. "Coming!" I said back. Me and Antonio quickly shared numbers and took a we took a selfie together. I wave to him and he waves back.

When we get in the car he starts talking, though his words are slurred. "Who was that?" He slurredl it was obvious that he was drunk. I carefully got to the back middle seat and sat tight. He gets drunk a lot more nowadays.

"T-t-that is a new boy, his name is Antonio" I said very nervously, gripping the seat as he made a horrible long right turn. We swerved all the way across the road until I couldn't take it. I took out the keys, knocked him out, put him in the back seat, and started driving.

I had learned to drive in a 4 year military camp Adrein and I were signed up for. I care fully pulled up into the driveway and heaved dad into the house. After about 10 minutes he was in the house. I slapped him awake. "You really need to lose weight, and to stop driving drunk! I had to drive us home because you almost killed us!" I yelled.

A few moments later mom burst through the front door, and told dad to pack all his stuff. She then slapped him. He slapped back. Then they started punching and kicking each other. Then he pushed her to the ground, ran out of the house, and got into the car. His car. The one he takes when he will just drive around and around and around.

I just sunk into the chair, sobbing and trying to forget what just happened. A few minutes later Adrein got home. I felt him or someone carry me up the stairs and onto a bed. He started stroking my hair and that really calmed me down. Until I remembered dad again.

I got up, pushed him away, went to my room and slammed the door, letting some of my rage out of me. I grabbed my stress ball and carefully got onto my bed then I heard my phone vibrate. I got a message. And looking at the messengers name, I smiled. A real genuine smile.
