The mechanic (Old Version)

chapter 127 meanwhile with eri

Chloe:hush you. So if your living for free here they will be serious rules you will need to follow while living under our roof and eating our food for free

Marinette:paid for

*Chloe looked at her with with an exasperated look while Marinette gave her an innocent smile *

Chloe:you want to do this right now? Like really undermined me right now? While I'm in the middle of something here?

Marinette:fine, look kids we don't expect much just don't be stupid, wear protection, if your going anywhere tell us first, and if we say something you best believe it like it's law understood?

Mínoka:yeah yeah, now Chloe keep telling us how you founded team miraculous

*Chloe flinched and could feel her wife looking at with with an angry smile*

Marinette:yes love, please tell them All about that

Chloe:well i uh... umm...how about instead i tell you how i got my kwami?!

Marquis:so, I'm guessing you weren't all that truthful with that reaction

Chloe:w..well the team did get better after i replaced that stupid cat

*Chloe mumbled blushing thinking of a way to escape the hole she dug for herself*

Marinette:how about you tell them how you were before? I feel like that would help them

*Chloe's breath hitched in her throat as she looked at Marinette and instantly knew what she meant. With a sigh she sat down on the armchair and rubbed her neck*

Chloe:i...well I'm not gonna lie i was just a total bitch towards everyone, i was a bully no two ways about it

*This got eri's attention as she looked at Chloe who was playing with her hands*

Chloe:i...did horrible thing towards everyone but especially at Marinette, i abused her mentally, i would harras her, steal her stuff and....a lot of things that i still for the life of me i can't figured out why she forgave me

*Chloe said as she cleaned away a tear from her face, Marinette walked towards her and rubbed her shoulder giving Chloe the smile she loved so much the smile she doesn't deserve but is still blessed with*

Chloe:it got worse when this girl Lila something came to our school she managed to manipulate me in to being a worse version of myself and it got so much worse. Until my kwami appeared and dragged me to Marinette's house. And...i saw her crying, like actually crying for the first time i saw her broken i saw what my actions has caused.

Eri:and what, that makes it ok? Just because you saw her crying you suddenly saw everything you did as finally bad? It never came to mind that you might be wrong?

*Eri said harshly, Chloe chuckled softly to herself as she looked at the young girl who was seeing her like she was satsuki*

Chloe:no it doesn't. Nothing that i did made my actions ok. But i did change for the better because of it, i stopped hanging out with Lila and started defending Mirabel. It took a long time to gain her trust...like a very long time

Marinette: can't blame me for that

Chloe: fair. But i did change even if i was the only one in that class that saw the truth. My point being and the reason I'm telling you all my story, especially you Eri. Is that people can change, hopefully military school will help her change like seeing Mirabel crying helped me. And maybe one day you two can become friends again

Eri:it's still too fucking early to see that ever happening

*Eri mumbled crossing her arms, she calmed a little feeling Mínoka rub her back*
