Marinette looks away.  She feels the shame from all the years of lies.   Lies all beacause of a secret she was sworn to hold.  Others because she could never confess her love for Adrien.  Not then, and certainly not now.  She knew as she always has Adrien is some one special.  Some one dreamy, rich, famous, and some one she could never measure up too.  

         Adrien  glances at Marinette.  He feels she makes no sense at all. How could she go on like Ladybug has love for him, when she know as well as anyone that the hero never once gave him a chance.  Why if the woman in the red spandex suit with black polka dots, were here now he could tell she despises him!  She always had and always will.   He was most certain of it.

        "Adrien, I really must go!"  Marinette says.

      "Wait, why?"  Adrien says.

     "This was a  mistake."  Marinette says.

     "A mistake?   How can you say this?"  Adrien ask.

      "We both know no matter how many life times we meet, no one will ever compete with Ladybug!"  Marinette says sadly.

      "Ladybug?  I told you I love someone else.  I love a civilian girl.  Some one much better!"  Adrien says.

      "I know that is what you  want to believe, but it is simply is not true!"  Marinette protest.

     "What do you mean?"  Adrien says.

      "You practically could think of no one, but her!  I could tell then, and I can tell now."  Marinette says.

       "Mari, please!  Mari!"  Adrien says.

       "I am sorry, but I have to go."  Marinette says.

        "When will I see you again?" Adrien says.  His voice pleads with her.

        "Hopefully, for both of us, never.  Some things are just never meant to be."  Marinette says.  She gets up and walks away.

        Adrien stands up too.  He walks with her to the door. He thinks, wow she is so stubborn.  He sighs.  He watches as she opens the door and exits the cafe.  He follows close behind her.

        "Look, please listen to me!"  Adrien says.

       "Why should I ,when you never once thought about it felt for me to discover one of my very good friends was none other than Chat Noir!   I should say it was a complete shock."  Marinette says.

       "Does it not matter that I gave all that up for you?"  Adrien says.

    "Please, you gave it up for yourself!  You were in fear your father would find out and disapprove. "  Marinette says.  She runs off again!  She runs as fast as she can to get away from the one who she loves, but believes hates her the most.

      "Mari, that is simply is not true!  I could care less about what my father thinks.  I gave up the model job, I never would agree to date the woman my father would approve for me, and I left home."  Adrien mutters to himself.  

       Adrien's  POV:  Good grief, what did I ever do to her?  I mean it.  I try to be  kind to her, after all this time, and she accuses me of hatred towards her.   Why?   I never once felt this way about her.  I could never hate her.  I love her!  Why is she like this?   Some boy, must have broken her heart beyond repair years ago.  I try to apologize and it makes things worse.  "Some things are never meant to be," she says.  I sure hope she is wrong.  I  must  see her again!  I have too. I can not let her go, not again.  I  just found her again, and she escapes.  

     Adrien's  POV: One thing is certain, Plagg was right, I am bad at love.  I always seem to let her go.  I always loose in the end.  I end up alone without the one I love.   Should  I just forget it all?  Is it really worth the looks of anger, the accusations in her voice, and the hate she has for me?

    Marinette's  POV:  How could he?   How could he let me fall in love with him all over again?  How could he say he never felt loves towards Ladybug?  He did too.   I should know  because I was her.  I even save him from death when he jumps off the top of a building to get away from his body guard who was under the influence of  Hawkmoth.  I save  him so he lives, and he looks at her like she was the only woman for him!  I know it to be true as he does!  So, how then can he say he loves someone who is not Ladybug?  

   Marinette's  POV:  If he does then who is she?   She must be some one grand.  Some one who everyone likes.  Some one unlike me.   I mean there is no way he could love me?  Is there?  I mean, I am just a nobody !  I  have a job, but it does not pay  much.  I  must not think about him anyway.  It really does no good as I practically told him I hope not to see him anymore.  I did this for the second time since I told him this years ago.  Oh, my!  What have I done?   I am the worst!  I love him.  I ruin every chance I have with him.  I really am no good at this kind of thing. No good at love at all.  Why if I were, then why do I always seem to make a run for it?   Why  do I always push him away?   I  truly am bad at this whole thing.

    Adrien's  POV:  I  will have to figure out something.  There must  be some way for her to find out the truth.  I can not let her just leave me for good.  I almost lost her once already.  Some how I feel as if it were more than once.  Strange is  it not?   Why is it I feel like the whole thing seems familiar as if she were some one else?   The only thing is this is not even possible, right?   It is not as if she is ladybug.   I sigh as I try to figure out what to do.
