Adrien's POV
Dammit.
This was all completely uncalled for.
I messed up, badly.
No-badly doesn't even sum it up.
Severely, maybe.
But a suicide attempt?
I never thought she would have gone that far.
I left Marinette in the supervision of her parents, just to be safe.
Isn't Marinette supposed to be a bubbly, cheerful person?
Okay, half of that was actually because of me, but the other half was what? Her life in general, bullying, insecurities-what?
I was pacing around in my room, tugging at the ends of my hair.
I'll just wait for that stress acne while I go to sleep for the night.
But not before sending an I love you to Marinette.
Marinette's POV
Adrien left after my little statement of his one-week deadline. Once he left with a hug, (which was one sided) my parents came up to see what all the commotion was about.
Then they noticed a whole ton of pills scattered on the tile floor behind me, my tear streaked face, and hair that looked like it was never brushed at all.
They gasped. "Sweetie, what happened here?" My mom asked in worry.
I shrugged and looked to the side. "Nothing mom, I just spilled a few things."
"Well, the tears on your face and a thrown down book bag isn't stating 'nothing'," my dad said from behind her.
I burst out crying. I can't keep bottling these emotions inside. It's too much.
They hushed me more a bit, after minutes of sobbing. "You wanna sleep with us tonight?" My mom asked. I sniffed and nodded, remembering those times as a kid when I would ask to sleep with them. "Okay, I'm going to make some room for you while Sabine makes dinner." My dad spoke softly. He left and let my mom take me downstairs into the kitchen. The bakery was closed for the night, earlier than expected. Probably my fault.
I stared off into space, leaning my head on the palm of my hand.
How come Adrien kept that secret from me? For such a long time too. He was probably disappointed that I was the one.
Or was he just afraid?
Afraid of what though?
Minutes later I felt writing being spread across my arm. That was going to take some getting used to; it felt weird.
All it took were three words to reassure me of most things. Three simple little words, each with one syllable. Three short words with so much meaning. Three words put together to bring me to comfort before bed an hour later.
I love you.
Bridgette's POV
Why did I do what I did?
For what reason?
Oh right.
Adrien.
Adrien himself.
Back in America, I knew very well who he was. Not just as a famous model, but as a classmate. I was an invisible kid in my school, particularly my fault. I would shy away from everyone who tried talking to me, having no friends at all.
Adrien was popular, obviously, but he never really took notice of me. At all.
Again, my fault.
But I was obsessed. Like crazy obsessed.
Obsessed with him.
I had posters of him all over my room, schedules of his classes and photoshoots, heck I knew what his middle name was.
So after finding out he was moving to Paris, I was bummed.
So I begged to be able to move here. My parents agreed.
I got rid of my glasses and got contacts. I dyed my once black hair to blond. I cleared my face of all acne. My braces were taken off.
In all, I went through rehab. Adrien was obviously not going to recognize me, but Marinette would, seeing as I video-chatted with her every week. She was surprised at first, but she liked the look. Said that it suited me.
In my last few weeks there, boys started gawking at me. I was slowly going up our little "chain."
This was unfortunately after Adrien's departure, though.
But I had a feeling that even though he was attached to someone else, I had that huge need to be his.
For him to be mine.
But now that I think about it, what's wrong with me? Moving all the way across an ocean just for a boy? I mean, sure, my soulmate is probably here. But I could've moved for a different reason, you know?
And what was the cause for my feelings? Did I ever even have any?
Why is life so complicated?
And now I start school tomorrow.
Now I have to face them both.
Earrings were on one.
Make that three people to face.

Third Person's POV (aka memememe)
All of those three confuzzled children were rushing to get ready for school.
Marinette wore a black T-shirt will dark blue jeans and black Nike's, her hair loose but brushed.
Adrien had a grey shirt on with the Eiffel Tower printed on it in white, simple black pants, and grey shoes. He left his hair in its messy form for once.
Bridgette wanted a good first impression on her school. So she went with her best outfit; purple shirt with the shoulder part cut open and the neckline with an extra fluttering piece, light washed jeans, and blue flats. Her hair was brushed into a braided crown, the rest of her hair flowing loose behind her. Her book bag was white with pink blossoms dotted over it, forest green leaves intersecting in between.
She was happy with her outfit. She made a finishing touch with some sharp eyeliner and a light blush.
All of these kids, dressed and ready to go, came out of their houses and traveled to school.
Adrien had his first day of impression planned out; a nice and peaceful ride to a little garden he hasn't gone to in forever. He was taking Marinette on a motorcycle she would probably remember-if not, he was revealing himself to be Chat Noir anyway. Then he would just try to relax with her and get to know her more.
Baby steps, he reminded himself. Baby steps.
