Chapter 9

~Marinette's POV~

I just arrived home from school. Lila had eventually show up. She had a smirk on her face so she must have done something... something bad.

As usual after after school i got my beat up from Lila's best friends. Im covered in bruises and I'm wet now.

They thought that it would be a good idea to throw me in the garbage, once i got out they dump water on be " to clean me".

I'm wet, cold and i smell horrible.

No one was in the bakery for some reason. As i entered my home i saw my parents inside our house, they are usually downstairs in the bakery so seeing them here surprised me.

What surprised me more was the fact that mama was crying and papa had tears in his eyes.

Did something happen? I know that they hate me but I still love them so I want to help them if something bad happened.

" Marinette!" Mama said looking at me with tears running down her cheeks.I looked down getting ready to be yelled at but all I got was ....a hug.

A warm hug from mama and soon papa joined us. They didn't mind that i was wet, they still hugged me despite the state I'm in.

I haven't got a hug from my parents in a long time...but this really feels nice.

The only hugs I receive now are from Chat Noir. My heart feels warm because of this hug.

I hugged them back right away. I missed their warm hugs. It feels pretty nice.

If this is a dream I wish I'll never wake up. I feel loved by my parents in this hug so I don't want it to end.

" Marinette dear what happened to you!" Mama said looking at me scared and worried.

" Lila..." I said looking down. Are they going to believe me?

" My poor baby girl! Come here" papa said giving me a bear hug.

...what is happening? This morning they hated me and now they love me? Is this a joke, if it is it's not funny..

" You'll get sick if you stay like this any longer" mama said looking extremely worried.

" How about a bath?! A warm bath" papa said putting me down from the bear hug.

" That would be really nice" I said giving him a little smile.

" Ok sweetie I'll go start the water then" papa said then ran to the bathroom.

" What would you like to eat?" Mama asked ready to make me something to eat.

" I'm not that hungry mama" I said being honest. I'm not hungry at all today.

" Nonsense dear I'll make you some dumplings, how does that sound? I know you like them" she said smiling at me.That does sound nice, I don't remember the last time I had a nice meal made by my mother.

" That sounds amazing" I said smiling at her and she smiled back.

" The bath it's almost ready honey, go and get ready before you catch a cold" papa said coming to me.

" T-thank you" I said unsure. I want to believe that they care for me again but a part of me saying not to get my hopes up.

" Once you're out your dumplings will be ready too" mama said giving me a small kiss on the cheek.

I looked confused at them for a moment then went to the bathroom.

Once inside Tikki came out of my purse.She looked a little confused but happy at the same time.

" That's great. They seem to care about you again" she said hugging my cheek.

" I hope they are, I really missed them" I said smiling to myself. I removed my jacket then looked at Tikki.

" I'll leave you alone, I'll be with the other kwamiis" Tikki said, kissed my nose then went to my room.

I sighed and started to understand myself once she was gone, she saw me naked before a few times but now I need to be careful, she can't see my cuts. After I undressed myself I looked in the mirror again....

My bruises went from purple to black. It hurts, everything hurts.

I closed my eyes trying not to cry then enter the bathtub. The water was hot and relaxing.

This feels nice... My cuts sting in contact with the warm water but I don't mind it.

I took my hair out of the pigtails then started washing my hair again slowly. I do have patrol with my dear kitty tonight.

When we hug he always sais that I small really sweet and he absolutely loves it so I need to take this stink out of my hair.

I washed my hair three times to make sure that the smell it's gone. After that I cleaned my body too.

I was enjoying myself as I clean myself when I heard a knock on the door.

"Honey, your meal it's ready" mama said,  even though I can't see her from behind the door, I can feel that she's smiling.

" I'll be out in a moment!" I said, I'm done cleaning myself up but I stil want to stay in this warm bathtub.

I looked at my phone and it's already pretty late I need to get out, eat then finish my homework. Then I can meet up with my lovely kitty.

As I got up and dried myself I started feeling dizzy again, but this time...I can barely stay on my feet.

What is happening?

I eventually manage to change myself in new, clean clothes. Feels nice to be clean again.

But I still feel dizzy I think... I don't even know how I feel I never had this feeling before...but it's not a good one it's a bad one...

I exited the bathroom barely walking. When my parents saw me they got scared.

" Are you ok Marinette?" " Should we call an ambulance" " Oh no Tom..I think it's the cancer" " Did you took your pills?"

" I'm fine, I just want to eat then go to sleep" I said. I just want to stay in bed right now.

Papa helped me go to the table as mama give me the dumplings. I ate with them in silence.

I couldn't finish what she give me, it tasted amazing but I'm going to throw up if I eat another one.

" I'm done eating, thank you for the food" I said slowly getting up from the table.

" You barley ate any, don't you like them? Mama asked confused but I could see the worry in her eyes.

" They are amazing mama but I can't eat another one or I'm going to throw up" I said telling them the truth.

" Sweetie are you sure you're ok? You don't look good" papa said getting up as well.

"I-..." Before I could even reply everything went black, the last thing I remember was my body hitting the floor and my parents desperate screams, trying to wake me up.

I know very short chapter, I'm sorry but I had a lot of school work this week and I barely had time to write but I managed to post it even if it's short. This chapter may have a lot of grammar mistakes because I was tired when I wrote it, so I'm sorry for that.

A little spoiler for next chapter Ladybug will tell Chat Noir about her cancer.

(Spoilers)I also have the cutest scenario ever. I mean at this point I'm pretty sure Adrien it's a sentimonster, Felix too so...that sucks. But can you guys imagine that they defeat Hawkmoth when they are adults and Adrien propose to Marinette with the same ring that has his amok and gives it to her saying that he trusts her with his life! Like the amok is practically his life and he gives it to Marinette because he trusts her so much! That would be the cuttest thing.

Thank you for reading this chapter ❤️.

I'M SORRY FOR ALL THE GRAMMAR MISTAKES!!!!!

Bye ✨✨✨~
