She cracked her voice on the last part. She looked down and started crying a bit. Not full on sobbing but tears were streaming from her eyes. Alya got up to go comfort her but Adrien got there first. Alya saw this and let him comfort her but watched him closely. 
                          
Adrien ran to Marinettes side when she started crying. He held her tight and whispered in her ear. 
                          
"I meant every single word Marinette. From the second you confessed your feelings a couple days ago to now. I mean every word I say. You ARE beautiful. You ARE amazing. You ARE smart. You ARE kind. And most of all you ARE brave. I would never mean to hurt you. Chloé wanted to hurt you. She forced me into hurting you and I plan on confronting her later but I need YOU Marinette. You're the only one I need and I don't think I can go on without YOU. I need you to forgive me but I'd understand if you weren't ready. I also still want to go on that date with you but I'd understand if you don't want to do that anymore."
                          
Marinette stopped crying and looked at him. Her tears were still evident in her eyes they just weren't flowing. He held her close into his chest. He never wanted to let go. He wanted her to be his... Forever. She finally pulled away from the hug and said something. 
                          
"I forgive you Adrien." It was barely a whisper but it was there. He felt so relieved. He let out a breath he had been holding. He was so glad that she forgave him. Wait! She didn't answer his question about that date. Did that mean she didn't want to go? Does she not like him amymore? He was so worried that he almost missed the rest of what she said. 
                          
"I know what you're thinking right now. You want to know if I'll go on a date with you still. As for that part I'm still not sure yet. Can I get back you tomorrow about that?"
                          
He pulled her in for another hug and whispered in her ear "That's okay. You take all the time you need. I will always be here waiting for your answer. See you tomorrow at school."
                          
With that said he walked away and left her house. He knew that she needed to talk to Alya alone and that he couldn't be there for it. He would have to wait for his answer. He was satisfied that she was at least thinking about it. 
                          
-back with Alya and Marinette-
                          
They stayed silent until they were sure he was gone. They didn't want him hearing something he wasn't supposed to hear. Finally once they were sure he was gone Marinette turned to Alya and asked her what she thought of everything that just happened. 
                          
"I didn't hear everything but when I talked to him earlier he seemed pretty serious I'm only assuming that he was serious with what he said to you."
                          
"I think he was. I'm not sure if I want to go on a date with him still. He's my friend and stuff but what he breaks my heart again? How can I ever forgive him and forgive myself for doing that?"
                          
"Don't worry girl I've got you back. If he eve hurts you again he's going down. I'll make sure of that."
                          
Marinette chuckled a bit before responding "Thanks Alya."
                          
"No problem girl. Now I'm gonna leave you alone because you have some serious thinking to do. Bye girl."
                          
"Bye Alya."
                          
Alya was right Marinette had to do some serious thinking. 
                          
Marinette wanted to go on the date with Adrien but something was telling her not to. Something was saying don't go on a date with him. He's just gonna hurt you again. Marinette wasn't sure of what to do. Finally she went to sleep in hopes that she can be up on time tomorrow.
