Not Ladybug

Mari POV*Chat ended up staying with me and we slept together. I slept with my "heroes don't cry" pajamas on but I couldn't stop thinking about how I acted. I barely slept because I was thinking about it. The next day we had off school because of a teacher work day. So that's great. "Marinette?" I hear my kwami tikki ask me as I awaken. I look up at her and she looks concerned. "Mari, is something wrong?" I get up from my bed. "I'm fine tikki. I just.... I froze when I was in danger instead of doing something! I acted defenseless! Maybe I'm not cut out to be ladybug.." I start to cry. "Marinette! Your the best Ladybug I ever had! You were just shocked and had a hesitation! After all this was your first thug! You didn't know how to handle it! And that's normal." Tikki said reassuring me that it's ok. I turn on the TV and of course the thug incident is on the news. " hello viewers, it's me nadja shamack. Here reporting from an alleyway where a thug was captured before killing a 14 year old girl. People know her as a girl named Marinette Dupein-cheng. She was saved by the famous Chat Noir seconds before she almost died. Police say the criminal was injured, Likely by Chat Noir, he seemed to have attacked the thug after the thug almost killed the girl." I turned off my TV. I sigh... atleast they didn't catch my freeze up on camera or as a witness or something. I decide to go outside and get some fresh air. I wore my heroes don't cry sweater again. As I was walking down the street I see.. great... Chloe. "Well if it isn't Mari-Trash from the news. Ha! I bet you just froze up before that thug killed you! Ooh or I bet you just stood there because you already knew you were gonna die since your too weak to defend your self! That sounds like a Marinette thing! Hahahahaha!! Maybe you should have let him kill you, we would have been better off! Hahahahah!!bTry being more like Ladybug!!"I clench my fist while tears threaten to fall. I ran off towards my house, threw open the door and ran up to my room. I took a red marker and crossed out "don't " on my shirt so it says "heroes cry" because I'm about to cry right now. I start to cry and I let my hair down and cry. Hard. She's right.. Im Nothing like Ladybug.
