Chapter 5 - eat!

marinettes pov

I hadn't eaten in days.... Kim always told me I was fat..... so I've been trying to lose weight.. "look Adrian I'm just nervous I guess.... ok that's probably why I don't feel well.... what do you want me to do with these clothes? " I looked down at the dress "well it's you're design you keep it " he said and turned for the door... as he walked out and closed the door I sat down and sighed "you can do this marinette you've almost reached your weight goal.. " I stood up and walked out of the room and headed to my office "I just can't let anyone know..." after the work day was over I headed to Adrian's office "I'm ready to go home... " I walked up to his desk "I'm very sorry marinette but I've got some papers to sign it won't take too long " I was tired and just wanted to sleep "no it's fine ill just find another way to get there..." he looked up at me as I turned to walk away "wait marinette... are you sure you're ok? " he asked with a concerned look "yes Adrian I'm fine " I was lying I wasn't ok. I head to my friends office and asked if she could take me home and thankfully she said yes. we went out to her car.

it was a little past 7 when I got home. "thank you" I said to her then walked inside and up to my room. I took the dress and shoes off then hopped in the shower. after a good shower I put a crop top and some bedroom shorts on and layed down and started to fall asleep then I heard Adrian come in the front door, I stood up and walked downstairs "welcome home" his eyes went to my stomach... "what?" I looked down and there were bruises and cuts on my stomach "oh um that's... nothing that's just what kim did....." he sighed and walked over to me "you hungry? " I was "no I already ate " I wrapped my arm's around my stomach "but um I should change your bandage, so please sit down " he sat on the couch "you don't have to do that.. " he said and looked at me as I went to get the first aid kit "it's fine Adrian " I sat on the table In front of him and started to take the bandage off his finger, I saw his face twist up with pain "hey it's ok.. I promise.... you'll be fine "

her voice was so kind I couldn't help but smile when I looked at her... her smile was so warm "thank you marinette " she cleaned it more and put more ointment on it and wrapped another bandage around it and this time she kissed my finger " there all better! " she smiled at me and stood up putting the kit away " now I'm sorry to leave you like this but I'm very tired " she said to me "it's ok " I hugged her then she went to bed

the next day I woke up and got dressed in some black Jean's and white t shirt. I walked down stairs and Adrian was sitting on the couch "are you ready to go? " "yep"

we walked out of the house and into the car. "you wanna get some breakfast " nah I don't usually eat breakfast "which was true. we just went to work.

the rest of the day went fine. after work Adrian was busy again so my friend took me home, I took a shower then Adrian got home. I was sitting on the couch watching tv " I'm home! " I looked over at the door "I see that " he had bags in hands "what's that? " I asked "food, you hungry? " I wanted to eat so bad "um no I already ate... " I stood up and went to grab one of the bags but I got real dizzy all of a sudden... I lost my balance, and I couldn't remember anything after that.

"marinette! " I ran over to her and dropped the food. I called 911 ... after some time the ambulance showed up and took us to the hospital, she was taken to a room and some tests were ran, they wouldn't tell me anything since I wasn't family but I never left her side. she was still unconscious. I stayed there all night. I woke up sometime that morning." dammit marinette wake up. " her eyes started to open and I called a nurse "Adrian... " she started to speak "no shh it's ok " the nurses ran in and tended to her , then the doctor walked "alright marinette... now I've come across some very concerning information..... are you aware that you have a crucial eating disorder? " I looked over at her and she seemed scared "um... y..yes sir I'm aware... " the doctor became more concerned "when was the last time you ate? " she hesitated "last night.. " "marinette do not lie to me, this could threaten your life.. " she teared up " I haven't eaten in a week " I looked at her surprised, angry, sad all at the same time "that's what I thought, we need to get some food in her ASAP! " the nurses ran off with the doctor "marinette.... you lied to me how could you.... you could have died?! " I grew angrier " I can't believe this! " I stood up and walked up to the bed " you can't do that to yourself marinette! Why would you do that!? " she looked over at me sobbing "I was trying to lose weight.. kim kept telling me I was fat..... " I was pissed "fat! you're not fat marinette..... " she was sobbing and was in so much pain.... I didn't like seeing her cry like this... before I knew what I was doing I had leaned over and kissed her..

I couldn't stop crying and then he kissed me, I couldn't help but kiss back, he put his hand on my cheek and I was finally happy... that pain in my chest was gone in that moment , he pulled away "marinette... you. are. perfect... and I think I'm in love with you... " I was shocked and all I could do was smile I pulled him back to me and kissed him "I love. you. too.... "
