Recap:

Marinette let out a breath she had inhaled, "Pass." She muttered.

End recap.

〰

He grabbed we chin to make we look at him, "Answer. The. Question. Mairnette." She tore away from his gaze as she looked at the bed sheets.

Tears clouded her vision. "Marinette?" His concern made her heart beat. "Why can't you answer me? What happened?"

Marinette didn't want anyone to know what happened back in her younger years. No one knew.

It hurt her to much. It was something that would haunt her for the rest of her continuance on earth. She didn't want to be looked at as insubstantial.

Just the thought made ber want to want to parish on the spot. Dematerialize. Poof, gone.

"Are you ok?" She looked back up at the couriers stray. "Um... yeah. I'm fine. Perfect."

He scowled, here she was again, lying. He could see right through her. And it was pissing him off. "Why can't you stop lying?! You're not ok! Stop lying!"

Marinette was taken back by the sentences that flew from his mouth. "Why, why can't you just tell me! I don't understand why you have to be like this. Ugh, so complicated."

He pulled at his hair in frustration. He hated himself for the outburst, obviously surprising Marientte.

She looked down at her hands that fiddles in her lap. She really wanted to tell him what happened.

Her mind was chanting.

Tell him.

Don't tell him.

Tell him.

Don't tell him.

Her mind was in a battle. Yea, she trusted him. But this was something no one knows. Could she trust him?

But what if he used it as blackmail material, and then told everyone, she would loose her job and have to liveon the streets without anything ir anyone. No food, no water, no sh-

He thoughts were cut off my Chat. "You look confuzzled." She looked at him awkwardly, trying to hold back her laughter...

Seconds later, Marinette was rolling across the mattress, dying of laughter. Chats ears drooped. "Confuzzled?!" She asked, still laughing. He couldn't help it.

He burst into laughter. Marinette looked at him and made a face. "That wasn't very nice!" He tackled Mairnette, tickling her in the process.

"I don't understand why you were so upset." He continued to laugh as Marinette stopped and frowned.

As he wiped off a 'tear' he looked back at her, her face full of anger and sadness. Was it something he said? "What's up Mari?" She looked at the feline.

"Can you keep a secret? He looked at her. "Yeah, of course." His expression now serious. Marinette looked out the window, seeing the bright, white moon.

"I'm going to tell you exactly why i throw insults at people."

She trusted Chat.

"It all started when I was going to my tenth grade year."

Flashback

This was Marinette's second year at her high school. She loved it and could ask for anything more.

She had friends, her loving family, and her cat, Tikki.

She was very well known. One, for her parents bakery. And two, because she was the sweetest girl anyone knew. It was a normal day, with her friends Kylee, Jacob, and Skyler.

They all sat in the cafeteria waiting for the bell to ring signaling for them to go to class. Skyler tried to strike a conversation. ""So, are you guys busy this weekend?" Jacob shrugged, paying attention to his phone.

"Yeah, I'm going on a cruise ship for a week, in Hawaii!" Kylee clapped her hand in excitement. "I'm so ready!"

Marientte tapped her chin, "I've going to sit at home and watch Phineas and Ferb."

Skyler raised an eyebrow, while Kylee just giggled. "Why don't we go to the movies on Saturday, Marinette. And Jacob, if you're available."

Jacob have him a thumbs up, acting as if he was paying attention. Mairnette smiled, they always had fun when they went to the movies.

Five minutes later

"Oh look, its Maribitch." She just rolled her eyes at the stupid blonde. "God, what do you need Chloe?" She smirked and backed up a tad.

"Let me introduce the new addition to our crew." A boy, with striking blue eyes and brown hair. "Hello, Mairnette. I'm Ethan." He stuck his hand for her to shake. But someone forcefully pulled his hand away.

"C'mon Ethan, let's go sit down." Chloe turned around and glared a Mairnette. She obviously didn't want Mairnette messing with Ethan.

It surprised Mairnette that he was actually nice. 'Poor Ethan, stuck with Chloe. Maybe she's nice to him.' Mairnette shrugged it off and checked her Instagram page. Nothing worth wasting her time one.

Jacob finally looked up from his phone. "So, guys. You wanna go to the movies this Saturday? Skyler glared at him and then hit his head on the table and groaned. Kylee and Mairnette just burst out laughing at the boys idioticness.

With out taking his head off the table, Skyler begin taking, "Dude, we're already going to the movies. Oh, hey, I have an idea..... you wanna come with us?" He asked with pure annoyance in his voice.

"Yeah, otherwise I would just sit at home and watch Phineas and Ferb." Marinette and Kylee just couldn't help it an let out a vociferous laugh.

Skyler groaned as he hit his head on the table once more. Jacob gave him a questioning look as to why is was hitting his head against the table. Being himself, he shrugged it off.

"Sooo," He asked, "movies?" Skylar glared at him but nodded. Marinette gave him a double thumbs up. "Ok, I'll pick you guys up a ten so we can eat lunch, go where ever, then take off to the movies."

'RRRRRIIIINNNNNGGGGG'

The girls grab their items and headed to their first period classroom. They turned around and waved to the boys as they headed off to athletics. "See you guys at lunch!"

At The End Of That Day

The bell rung again signaling the students to be on their way home. Marinette humed her favorite tune as she walked home.

She stopped. Someone was watching her...

Seconds later, she felt arms grab her and pull her into an alleyway.

Marinette looked up and saw two figures. Ethan and Chloe.

"Oh, hey guys.... What's going on?" She was confused but decided to ignore the feeling in her stomach.

"Ethan, you know what to do." Even approached her with guilt in his eyes. He dipped his head into her neck, leaving a gentle kiss. "I'm sorry, I have to do this." His hand trailed ul the thigh and to them hem of her pants.

"Oh, what would everyone think when Marinette, the goody-two-shoes, loses her virginity at fifteen? Chloe smirked at her. "Guess, we'll have to find out."

She took one last glance at her surroundings as she fell into darkness.

And Flasback

"I do it because I won't have anhone pushing me around any longer. So, I guess, from that point, it was just a habit to push people around."

Chat looked at the broken girl in front of him.

"Marinette, look at me." He grabbed her chin, forcing her to look at him once more, although, this time, she didn't look away.

Their faces now inches apart, Chat spoke,

"I won't let anyone hurt you."

And with thay, he pulled her in for a kiss.

"I love you, Marinette."
