The Bet

chapter 12

Marinette's body went limp and she stopped breathing. Everyone gasped in horror.

"No!!", Alya screamed. Nino held her tightly. Adrien had a mental breakdown while he held her cold hand in his.

Tears streamed down Chloe's face and she regretted telling adrien about the bet. Some secrets are best kept secrets. And she now understood that the hard way.

"Marinette", Chloe whispered. She touched Marinette's hand and it's cold like ice. She gasped, "you!! This is all your fault!!", Alya shouted in anger.

"Wait....calm down alya please", Nino said as he placed his hands on her shoulders. "No!! She did this!! If It wasn't for you telling adrien about this bet none of this would have happened!!", Alya screamed in rage.

"I-i I'm so sorry", Chloe apologized softly. Believe it or not she felt really broken now that Marinette took her last breath. And it was all because of her.

"No....it's my fault. If I hadn't screamed at her she wouldn't have had a mental break down. And if she didn't have a mental breakdown she wouldn't have died", adrien explained in a broken tone.

"I'm sorry", he said as he went close to Marinette's face. He picked up Marinette's cold body in his arms and hugged her tightly.

He held her close to his chest. He rocked back and foward. He cried.....he cried his heart out.

Memories of Marinette and him kept flashing in his mind. Adrien cried so hard Chloe even felt bad at that point.

As he rocked he screamed in agony. Marinette not being able to be here with him put a strain on his heart, And he felt broken.

(Flashback) Adrien pulled Marinette closer and kissed her passionately. (End of flashback)

Adrien cried and cried. But that's all he could do, All he could do was mourn.

"Why!!", Adrien screamed. He squeezed Marinette tightly. He continued to rock back and forth. He closed his eyes and placed his forehead against Marinette's.

Everyone watched in sorrow as adrien rocked back in forth with Marinette in his arms. He was crazy about her and everyone knew it.

So they all felt that for him. Marinette's death hit adrien like a brick. He felt that physically and mentally. Marinette was his world even tho he said he hated her he didn't mean it he was just angry.

5 months later

Adrien sat in the hospital chair next to Marinette's bed. She was in the hospital for 5 months. She was in a coma.

Everytime he looked at her he always remembered that night she died. And that haunted him for the rest of the 5 months she's been in that coma.

He moved his hand towards hers and placed his hand on hers. He sighed, "please Marinette.....I need you to wake up soon. I miss you", he whispered.

"Chloe even feels bad. She keeps blaming herself", he added. But obviously he got no response.

He went closer to her. "I love you Marinette. And I'll wait until you come out of this coma. I'll wait as long as I can, I'm not leaving you....ever. ", adrien said in a determined tone.

"No matter what happens I'm staying with you", he squeezed her hand tightly. He then kissed her forehead softly.

He decided to leave after a few minutes of talking to her. He left a gift card on the burrow beside her. All type of gifts and 'get well' cards were on it. Most of the gifts were from adrien.

He missed her so much. If only he could see her blue bell eyes again. If only he could hear her voice again. Just one more time....he would be satisfied.
