"Just be honest with me

Or stay away from me,

It's not that difficult,"

Adrians POV

"Suffering-Boy, I am Hawk Moth, I give you the power to seek revenge on your so called good friends as my sad boy. All you have to do is bring me Chat Noir's and Ladybug Miraculous, can you do that?"

"Yes Hawk Moth."

"That's my boy."

I didn't know what was going on, my body felt like someone was controlling me, the last thing I saw before being Akumatized was Marinette's heartbroken expression.

I don't know why I blew up on her all of a sudden but I did and I feel completely terrible about doing so, Mari didn't do anything wrong. I guess letting my feelings bottle up over time is not the best way to handle things. I felt my body move towards her as she jumps back quickly, my body tries to grab her again but she kicks up hitting my chin, I fall back. What about Ladybug? Who's gonna help her? I'm so glad I left Plagg and my ring in my room today for we don't know what would've happened.

"Adrian stop it your gonna hurt me!," she yelled.

"I d-don't want to I s-swear," I cried out.

"Let me just hug you okay?," I mumbled out.

Don't get near me Marinette don't fall for it, it's a trap.

"Adrian please!," she begged.

Without knowing I felt my body start running towards her.

"Crap," she said.

Once she turns a corner I turn to se Alya standing there with a camera.

Alya run.

"Alya," I cried.

"Adrian-"

"Alya run now, he's been Akumatized!," Marinette yelled.

But before she can run I hugged her and she turned into stone.

"A-Alya," Mari whispered.

"This is what I felt for so long my sweet Marinette," I walked towards her.

"All alone with no one to talk to, only people seeing a perfect masterpiece on the outside," I chuckled.

"Do you not understand-," before I can finish she tossed dirt into my eyes and I groan in pain, and by the time I can see again Marinette was gone.

"Damn," I mumbled and started to run around town.

I want to stop everytime I met someone I just had to touch them to turn them into stone, I didn't like hurting people, I hated it.

Please stop.

All of sudden I turn to see Nino trying to hide from what's going on.

No Nino.

"My best friend," I called.

Marinette's POV

"Tikki spots on!," I yelled after hiding from Adrian.

"Marinette what are we going to do?," Tikki panicked.

"It's okay, I can do this," I reassured "I know where the Akuma is at, I just need to get to that lucky bracelet I made him."

"Marinette look!," I turn to the side to only see Plagg caring Chat Noirs ring.

"Chat!," I yelled.

"Ladybug C-Chat- I can't find him," Plagg panted as he handed me his ring.

"W-what are you talking about?," I mumbled.

"I can't find him," he mumbled.

"Just go to the bakery and stay in my room I can h-handle this," I ordered.

Crap my first Akuma since I've came back and Chat Noir isn't here to help me.

I start jumping over buildings trying to find Adrian, but I was only met by stones, I felt my heart break as I crossed Nino Stone holding himself crying. Every building I jumped I was met with more and more classmates and more stones.

I see a glowing light and quickly run towards it to only see Adrian crying to Kagami who only had a straight face on.

"Adrian how can you let your feelings take over you? Was all your training for nothing? Why are you crying this time?," I clench my hand as I hear Kagami act so cold towards him.

I left him here with her, with a person that doesn't see that he needs affection, with a person that puts him down, with a person like his father, a horrible person.

"Marinette now. He isn't paying attention to anything around him," Tikki mumbled.

"Kagami, don't leave me," Adrian begged.

"Step back Adrian," Kagami warned.

"I wish you would just accept the real me," he cried.

"Oh... poor Adrian," Tikki whispered.

"Why can't you see that your hurting me?"

"I'm just trying to make you tougher," Kagami mumbled.

"Am I what you want now?," he quickly hugs he and she turns to stone.

"Marinette now!," I jump off the building and run towards him but before I reach him he jumps away from my grasp.

"You think if you touch me you won't turn into stone?," he mumbled while his back faced me.

Crap, but if he knew he should've let me touch him.

"Ladybug just the person I was looking for- well second person, I still need to stone Marinette," Adrian thought.

"Marinette is far away from you"

"Don't worry I'll find her, I just need you and Chat Noirs Miraculous, now hand it over," Adrian ran towards me.

"Marinette," Tikki cried.

I through my yo-yo and pull myself up on a building and start to run, I hide behind a wall.

"Tikki, Lucky Charm," I cheered.

I look down at my hands to only see a fishing rod.

"What am I suppose to do with this?," I mumbled.

I look around to see a large tree I can hide in and Adrian right under it, I quietly run towards it and perch on a branch as I see Adrian walking my way looking around. I start lowering it till the hook officially grabs on to the bracelet and I pull up quickly catching the bracelet and making a run for it. As the coast is clear I stomp on it only to see the Akuma fly out "no more any evil doings for you little Akuma," I capture it "time to de-evilize, gotcha!," I start swinging it around and let it lose.

"Bye-Bye little Butterfly," I turn around and grab the fishing rod before throwing it up in the air "Miraculous Ladybug!," I yelled and see my charm turn everyone back into themselves. I jump off and grab Adrian's tired body as I make my way to his house.

"Marinette what about Plagg," Tikki whispered.

"I trust him I have to get Adrian home and make sure he's calm."

"You shouldn't trust that sneaky cat," she grumbled.

"Tikki," I sigh.

"Okay fine geez"

We reach Adrians house rather quickly, I push the window that seemed open and lay him on his bed, his door opens to Nino looking like he just ran miles.

"Ladybug?," Nino looked at me confused.

"Uhm I guess you have it from here," I mumbled.

"W-wait L-ladybug," he called out before jumping out the window.

"Ladybug!," I turn to Alya already taking a picture of me.

Soon a group of people started to form as they start cheering fo me.

"It's Ladybug!"

"She's back!"

I run behind more walls and reach a top of a building and make more space between people and transform to myself.

"How are you doing kid?," Tikki whispered to me and touched my forehead.

"Today was emotionally tiring," I sighed and slowly got off the wall and started walking towards school.

"You're still going to school after this morning's incident?"

"I don't want anyone to think that after a bad day that I'm not strong enough."

"Marinette no one knows your ladybug okay? Please rest, I know today was rough for you."

I ignore her and continue walking to school, and once I reach it I notice there were barley any students, I sigh and walk into my class.

"Marinette why are you here?," my teacher asked.

"School," I mumble.

"But you were apart of the accident today"

"I'm okay please start class."

Adrians POV

I woke up to Nino and Alya saying they were sorry for making me feel alone, I don't remember anything that happened to me today, all I recall was getting in an altercation with Marinette and wanting her to suffer the way I did. I tried to get up, but Nino pushes me down saying I need rest after this morning.

"I'm sorry guys, I should've kept my feelings under control," I mumbled.

"Well now we know how you feel bro," Nino joked.

"I feel so horrible I'm so so sorry."

They look at me sadly and nod, I stay quiet for a bit till finally I have the nerve to ask.

"Where's Marinette?," I asked them.

"She's at school," Alya sighed annoyed.

"Really she still went after what happened?," Nino mumbled.

"You know how she is since she came back, nothing doesn't really affect her anymore," Alya sat on my couch and crossed her arms "you know what she said to me when we went out shopping for school the week before? She said she just wants to graduate and leave back to china," Alya scoffed.

"Don't get me wrong I love her, but she's been numb ever since she came back, to think she would've thought about Adria- I mean her crush and stayed here for him," Alya mumbled.

"She's moving? Again?," I mumbled.

"Marinette has lived a life keeping her true feelings to herself,  just like you Adrian," Nino patted my back.

"I'm gonna check up on Marinette," Alya stood up and waved by to Nino and I.

Marinette's POV

After school-

I decided to see Adrian after school after Alya explained that he felt horrible for today, I wasn't not gonna go but still.

I walk to his house and I was let in by Gorilla, who was outside, I smile to him and walk to Adrians room. His door was cracked open, before I can knock I see Kagami and him talking while Nino sat in the corner of the room looking uncomfortable.

Maybe Adrian will finally break up with Kagami after today, but that thought went down the drain as I see Adrian pull her in for a kiss.

Once again they were happy after problems they both caused, and I'm not saying it wasn't my fault, but its just frustrating that after him getting Akumatized Kagami judged him for getting caught in his emotions.

Why can't he see she is not good for him.

"Marinette are you not going in?," Tikki asked.

I grip my skirt.

"He said he'll choose us...," I mumbled.

"He said he'll choose me..."

"Marinette—"

"Why can't he just be honest with me..."

I look up to them again to only see Adrian looking at me shocked.

I show no emotion and walked out the house.

Why did he have to lie?

I just want him to get out of my head.

"Marinette!," I turn around to see Adrian running towards me as Kagami ran behind him.

I just turn away and try to get ahold of my emotions as it soon began to rain.
