ANYWAY, LETS GET ON WITH THE CHAPTER: 

——————————————————————————————————————

Emma's POV:

After leaving Alya's I felt like a huge weight had been lifted off my shoulders. Jumping over the buildings towards Adrien's house I was reminded of a feeling I hadn't felt for a long time. Relaxed. I felt calmer than i had ever been since coming here and now that I know I can rely on Alya to help me and Louis stop hawkmoth and take his miraculous. I told Alya everything that had happened since I got here but unfortunately I couldn't tell her about Chat noir and Ladybug's identities. Which also means that we're going to have to fight hawkmoth without Chat Noir. I'm sure we'll figure something out, well I hope we do anyway.

As I bounded over a set of terrace houses I saw a familiar silhouette in the distance. Walking closer towards him I saw that he had turned to face me. Part of me was shocked that he ran to me so quickly but I stood frozen as chat noir hugged me tighter than I've ever been hugged in my life. "Oh my gosh, Emma are you ok? Where did you go! I went to your room almost as soon as I got back but Louis said you weren't in there so I thought I should try find you and then I didn't and I was so worried." He let out a huge sigh. "I'm just glad you're ok."

"Me too," I responded.

Adrien's POV:

I had been searching for Emma for over 2 hours now and I was really worried. Thankfully I've found her at 1:00 in the morning. For some reason I felt protective of her. Holding Emma in my arms, ready to take her home made my racing heart immediately calm down. I felt like a father finding a lost child, or what imagine that would be like anyway. "Where did you go,"

Emma stayed silent in my embrace and i began to feel her shake. Thoughts came back of what I last said to her and I felt so horrible. "Emma, I'm so sorry. I guess i was just upset about losing plagg."

She took a deep breath and pushed herself off me. "You should be sad about that, and you should be mad at me. It's my fault after all." She looked down at the rooftop we were standing on and I placed my hands on her arms.

"I feel awful about what I said to you, please don't feel like this is your fault." She gave me a look to show she wasn't convinced so I did my best to make conversation "Hey I might not be chat noir anymore from tomorrow but that shouldn't stop us being friends should it?" She gave a light chuckle and I was pleased that id made her feel better.

"You're not very smart. You know that right?"

I was a little taken aback by what Emma had said after I just made her laugh. "excuse me but this cat helped outsmart many akuma's I'll have you know." Part of me was joking and part of me was upset by Emma's comment. It was still unclear to me wether she was joking or not and I was curious to know if she was.

"While that may be true..." she walked past me, as if I wasn't there. She didn't look at me as she spoke but I knew she still wanted me to hear. "What makes you think we can be friends..." she looked my right in the eyes.

"W...what! What are you saying, why can't we be friends?" I grabbed her tightly by the arms and held her near me.

she relaxed, letting me know she wasn't going to run and I let go. "Look, if i start hanging out, like really hanging out with you like friends do. How long do you think it's going to be until ladybug finds out that you were chat noir. And if she figures that out-"

"She'd also have to give up her miraculous." I finished Emma's sentence much to my own dislike. I couldn't bare the thought of never talking to Emma again. She lives in my house, maybe we could convince people that we've become friends at home....or my father arranged something so we'd become closer. "We can figure something out! We can find a way to see and talk to each other outside of my house! You know who ladybug is so we can make sure we never act like friends around her!"

"That's harder than you would think." She laughed out then immediately slapped her forehead. "YOU SEE THIS EXACTLY WHY WE CANT BE FRIENDS." She calmed down. "I know too much about you guys, and I'm a blabber-mouth. It's only a mater of time before I mess something up and before I know it, you'll end up knowing ladybug's identity. Either way she has to give it up."

Defeated, I responded to her. "Then I guess we can't be friends. I mean its not like we can have an entirely new ladybug and chat noir to defeat hawk moth."

Emma froze and I quickly thought of what I could've said to get this kind of reaction from her. "What did you say?"

A little intimidated I repeated my previous sentence. "It's not like we can have an entirely different ladybug and chat noir defeat hawk moth?" Almost instantaneous, Emma jumped to her feet.

"I have an idea!" She started pacing back and forth in front of me. Meanwhile I was left completely clueless. "Get ladybug to meet me and Louis here in 30 minutes! I think I know how to beat hawk moth."

Wait what. "Emma what are you talking about!" I yelled to her as she bounded in the direction of my house. I was tempted to follow her but I knew it was pointless trying to stop her. Reluctantly and with no backup plan I phoned ladybug. Hopefully she's not asleep or we may miss are only opportunity to defeat hawkmoth.
