3 weeks later

Marinette's POV:3

"Let's go out on a mini adventure babe hm? Just me and you since Alya's to busy with her little boyfriend," Chloe growled.

"First off I'm going to his family reunion, and second I'm sorry for not being able to come, why can't we reschedule?," Alya groaned in annoyance.

"Because Marinette hasn't left her room in 3 weeks-."

"Hey! I go to school though," I cut her off.

"Oh please," Chloe rolled her eyes "like that's any better, let's just get you all nice and dolled up to go eat out and head shopping maybe even get some new fabrics hmmmmm?," she took out her credit card and waved it in my face.

"I have my own money thank you very much, plus I'm actually busy today," I smiled softly.

"Really with what?," she asked.

"I'm to do an interview for my martial arts as well as possibly model," I flipped my hair mocking Chloe.

"Ooo can I tag along?," she asked as she sat up on my couch like a little puppy.

"I mean if I say no you'll still come," I joked.

"True," Alya laughed as she turns to us in her short red evening dress that I designed for her "how do I look?," she asked.

"Like crap," Chloe began to gag.

"Shut up," I laughed lightly and stood up before fixing Alyas hair a bit and small details on the dress.

"You look stunning babe," I smiled to her.

"Yeah yeah I guess I can give you that," Chloe smiled at Alya.

"Well thank you for being so kind Chloe," Alya chuckled.

She looked down at her watch and quickly began to pack her stuff "shit, I gotta go I didn't check my watch and Nino has been outside for 20 minutes already," she freaked and hugged Chloe and I before kissing our cheeks and saying a quick goodbye.

"What time do you have that interview at babes?," Chloe looked at me cheerfully.

I look at my clock and laugh lightly "in 3 hours, why?," I asked.

"Perfecttttt let's go shopping!!," Chloe grabbed my hand before pulling me out my room.

"Chloe I'm in my pjs!," I growled before pulling away and going back into my room.

"But, but shopping," she cried.

"Girl, I never said no, just let me change," I rolled my eyes.

"Yay!"

I close my door before locking it and look around my room for Tikki.

"Lovebug?," I called.

Tikki all of sudden shows up in front of me with her arms crossed. "I just finished my show and ugh it wasn't even a good ending," Tikki sighed, I laugh lightly and look around my room for a simple outfit "we are heading out with Chloe to go shopping," I mumbled as I began to change into a Jean skirt and a regular tank top with a cropped cardigan and some cute black Mary Jane heals.

"Now come on and get in the bag, is your phone charged?," I asked.

"Yeah, when we get home after doing all of our business can you ask Sabine to make us a hotpot?," Tikki smiled at me as she flew into the purse.

(Rest in peace Philece Sampler🌸)

"Yeah," I smiled.

——

"Don't I look just absolutely beautiful in this?!," Chloe ran out in a designer gown that was totally more expensive than my entire home.

"Ugh, sometimes I just can't with how pretty I am," she turned around and looked at herself in the mirror.

I smiled at her attitude.

"If Kim saw you in that I think he'd faint," I laughed.

"I don't really care for Kim's opinion on how I look," Chloe grumbled.

I look at her confused at her tone.

"Woah," I mumbled.

Ever since they got together I knew it wasn't always going to be sunshine and rainbows. But recently Chloe rarely talks about her and Kim, when someone even mentions his name her face goes completely numb. Chloe liked Kim a lot from how much she spoke about him when they first got together and Kim was already madly in love with Chloe, but now that Kim barely comes to school and he is always busy with swimming they've seem like they have grown apart. Chloe understood he was going to be a busy guy and accepted since she was always busy shopping. I know there was more going on with them but I didn't know how to excatly ask Chloe about her problems without accidentally triggering something in her.

"Babe-," I called, I hated seeing Chloe look so troubled by her suppose boyfriends name, and as her friend I didn't want her to go through whatever she is going through alone.

"Hmm?," she hummed and turned to me as she placed diamond earrings on.

"About Kim-."

"What about that asshole?," Chloe rolled her eyes as mine widen at the name she just called him.

"As-asshole?," I mumbled.

"Yeah that piece of garbage."

"Chloe why are you calling him these names? What's going on?," I asked.

"Oh I haven't told you?," Chloe looked at me confused.

"Told me what?," I asked.

"What really? Was I talking to myself then? Ah no I told my dad," Chloe spoke to herself.

"Chloe," I sighed.

"Oh yeah sorry, I thought I told you guys this, but apparently not," her smile faded softly as she takes a deep breath.

"So Kim and I broke up a week ago," I felt my heart break for Chloe as she looks at me with hurt in her eyes.

"But-but why, and why didn't you tell me?," I asked.

"Well for starters, Anthony just left and I didn't really feel the need to trouble you more with my problems," She laughed lightly.

"Chloe," I said sternly "no matter what your problems will never trouble me, you are one of my best friends and I would really like it when something serious like this doesn't get swept under the rug," I sighed.

"I just don't want to worry you that's all," she shrugged.

I gave her a small glare till she huffed "he cheated on me."

"What?!"

"Yeah."

"Chloe...," I sighed.

"It's okay," she whispered.

"Do you mind telling me what exactly went down, if you don't want to I totally understand, it's just my brain can't really process what you just said."

"It's okay, it's just he never answered me or even looked for me, he was going around town with another girl from his swim team and was two timing me," Chloe mumbled. "But I mean who cares, he wasn't the best looking guy and he didn't even have money,-," I can see the tears start to form at the corner of her eyes "I hate him," she whispered "how can he cheat on moi I mean I'm the total package-," she began to cry and I quickly pull her into a hug.

"I'm pretty, and I'm rich, I even payed for his swimming team when they went out of town, I-I did so much and h-he still cheated on me," Chloe cried into my shoulder.

"Am I not perfect?," she pulled away a bit and looked at me.

"You're perfect and more love," I sighed and pushed her hair behind her ear as she wiped her nose with her palm.

"It's just ugh! I hate crying for his stupidity and it's his loss either way, - I just, I just felt like he truly liked me, you know how he was when we first met. That dipshit was head over heels for me, so how? why the hell did he cheat, I was even nice, Mari I was nice!"

"I know, I know," I mumbled.

"It's not easy for me to be nice to anybody hell not even to Alya, and I was nice to him, I did so much for him and he took everything without even feeling guilty for what he was doing behind my back."

"Come on, let's get you out of this dress and let's go get some ice cream yeah?," I whispered.

"Okay," she sniffed "I'm buying the dress too, hey!," she called for a worker "when I take off this dress my best friend will hand it to you and ring it up for me," Chloe ordered, I laugh lightly at how she's still herself after basically crying her heart out. I'm glad Chloe didn't shut her self up and acted like everything was normal, but it still worries me that she thinks her problems will trouble me, I just hope she doesn't go down the same hole I did sophomore year.

But I won't let that happen because she has me!

Chloe gets up and changes and walks out in her normal clothes before she wraps her arm around mine and she began to lead us to an ice cream parlor that was actually close by.

We walk in and sit down and asked for our orders.

"Why are you wearing your sunglasses inside?," I giggled as Chloe looks around the room.

"First why not? Second my eyes are puffy now," she mumbled.

"Good reason," I laughed.

"So about your interview, are you also going to model or what?"

"Honestly I really don't know but I designed a dress if they do ask for a couple of photos, I mean why not advertise my clothing, but they'll ask me about my recent competition and a bit on how I started you know?," I mumbled as our waiter brought our ice cream.

"If they do, want me to do your makeup?," Chloe asked.

"Of course I love the way you do my makeup and hair babe," I smiled.

"Well how much more time do we have?"

I look at a clock on the wall and realize we have an hour left.

"How far are we from that modeling area you use to pose for?"

"We just have to walk a block," Chloe answered.

"Thank god I thought I almost pulled an Alya and thought we were behind time."

As Chloe and I chatted for a bit longer I hear someone call my name, I turn to see Adrien walking towards us with his driver/bodyguard Gorilla.

"Adrien," I smiled.

"Hey Marinette, Chloe," he waved, and I give a small wave to gorilla as he does the same.

Adrien looked way more expensive then he usually does as he stands in front of us wearing clothing that I presume is Versace.

"What's the occasion, runway?," Chloe laughed.

"Photoshoot around the block, just came down for something sweet to wake me up," Adrien looks at me and smiles "haven't really slept lately."

"Marinette actually has an interview there in a few minutes what if we head there together when you get your dessert?," Chloe laughed and looked at me happily.

"You don't have to Adrien you seem busy, Chloe doesn't know what she's saying-."

"No that's actually a great idea, let me place my order and we can head out together," Adrien pats my shoulder softly as I feel my cheeks begin to blush at his sudden contact.

He walks away and I quickly give Chloe a glare, "why would you do that?," I groaned.

"Well why not? By looks of it he wanted to spend more time with you," she shrugged.

"Oh really what look did he exactly give me?," I said sarcastically "he just looked at me!"

"Girl trust me he gave you that look," Chloe flipped her hair.

"He didn't give me a look!," I argued.

"What look? What are you guys talking about?," Adrien asked from behind us.

"Nothing!," Chloe and I say together and laugh nervously.

He raises an eyebrow and mouths okay "uhm should we head out now?," he asked nervously and smiled.

"Let's go!," Chloe cheered and pushed me onto Adrien.

I bump into his chest pretty hard and catch myself before we can actually tumble to the floor, I rub my head softly and suddenly feel Adrians large hand over mine. I look up at him as he looks at me worried "are you alright? Chloe you could've gotten Marinette hurt," Adrien sighed.

"I'm alright, Chloes just messing around," I mumbled and pulled away from his touch.

"Yeah Adrien go take a bubbleee bathhh, have a latteee, sip some chai teaaa," Chloe rolled her eyes.

"Isn't that from?- never," I laughed lightly.

"Just be careful," he said and began to eat his ice cream as he used his other arm to push open the door for us.

"Now shall we go?," he asked.

Chloe gives me a wink as we began to walk through the door.

"Oh today's going to be a long day isn't it?," I whispered to myself.

"Oh yes it is babe," Chloe laughed and wrapped her arm around me.
