"Marinette?" Sabine knocked on the trap door softly, then opened it.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Marinette asked, trying to sound as cheerful as possible.
"Cut the act and tell me what happened," Sabine told her.
Marinette gasped, "Nothing happened! I swear!"
"Seriously, tell me everything that happened and don't leave out a single detail," she ordered.

After hearing everything from Felix, Adrien felt a strange wave of sympathy. But that was quickly replaced by anger.
"Felix! What's wrong with you?!!" he shouted, "You took advantage of me and Marinette!"
"Yeah no s—obviously!" he said, stopping mid-sentence.
"Felix, don't swear," his cousin advised.
Felix didn't respond.
"Come on Felix, why don't you just talk to her?"
Felix glared at the wall, "If only it was that easy," he muttered. His cousin must be stupid. She was obviously avoiding him for a reason.
"I have her number," Adrien offered.
"Do you want a cookie?" he snapped.
"I could try and convince her to—"
He shook his head so aggressively, the cheese on his plate flew off onto the tray. Adrien eyed the tray nervously, "Maybe I should take that Fel,"
Felix held the tray to his chest, "No,"
"Well at least let me give you her phone number," he insisted.
"No. She'll just block me again," he muttered, "What's the point,"
Adrien opened his phone and started texting Marinette.
Adrien - Hey
marinette - why r u texting me?
Adrien - oof, that's harsh, what happened?
marinette - ask ur twin- i mean cousin felix
Adrien - he's not with me :(
marinette - good for him
Adrien - i didn't do anything, why are you being so harsh?
marinette - you're prolly him
Adrien - ft?
marinette - that's what felix would say
Adrien - i'm not felix, i swear
marinette - prove it
Adrien - well um...
marinette - how did we meet?
Adrien - you and me, or you and Felix?
marinette - me and adrien
Adrien - on the first day of school when i took the gum off your seat
marinette - fine, let's facetime
She called him. He answered and tossed the phone to Felix.
"Adrien, what the hell!" he hissed, putting his hand over the camera.
Marinete cocked her head, "Is this actually Adrien?"
Felix shoved the phone back to his cousin, "Adrien, take the freaking phone!"
Adrien sighed and picked up the phone. "Hey, Mari,"
"Don't call me that," she snapped. "That's what Felix called me,"
"Marinette. Felix didn't mean to—" he started.
She gave him a tight smile, "Okay?"
"He's just not good at that kind of stuff," Adrien continued, "He's really upset about what happened,"
"He has no right to be upset. If he really wanted to be with me he should have just told me," she replied.
Adrien sighed, "Marinette, if Felix walked up to you, —considering his history and your uh crush— and confessed his love for you, would you date him?"
Marinette bit her lip, "Well it'd be better to tell me than to lie to me,"
"That's not the point. Everyone makes mistakes. You should still forgive them. Look at Chloe, you gave her a second chance and now she's one of your best friends,"
"Well I don't have his number, plus he hates me anyway,"
Felix grumbled something about how Marinette shouldn't victimize herself because nothing happened to her and she acted like a real jerk, but Adrien ignored him.
"Felix doesn't hate you. I'm sure he's a bit sour over everything. But he does have the right to be,"
"No he doesn't. He brought all this on himself. He can't just expect me to fall for him just because he looks like you!"
"Marinette, I've got to go," Adrien said. Marinette hung up.
Felix turned to Adrien, "I don't need you to interfere with my life, Cousin. I can do it myself."

Hope you enjoyed this chapter, sorry that it's been like a week since I updated :)
i chose the song "You'll Never Know"
Because of these lyrics
You will never know (oh oh)
What we could have been
and
But if you woul'da manned up,
Put your hand up, stand up, tell me how you really felt
Then maybe it'd be different
and
It's not my fault
You're a little bit too late
You're the only one to blame
Wipe that look off your face
You can wish a thousand times, but
None of that will change my mind boy
You had a chance you'll never get back
and finally
You'll never know
Boy you could've told me told me
You'll never know
Boy you could've let me know
You'll never know
