The Lost Gothamite

Chapter 11

Note: This chapter is more commonly know as the 'oh Emilia and Jon confessed, that's pretty pog' chapter. Also writing this first part on iPad and it sucks tbh.

Emilia was currently having a mental crisis, then again her entire existence was a crisis so she supposed it wasn't anything new. How was she supposed to deal with the fact that she had a crush on her best friend.

Well she supposed she'd just have to wing it, like she always did. She really did not appreciate the fact that Jon was so bloody cute, it made it harder for her to ignore her crush on him. She changed quickly and laid on her bed thinking about how she would deal with her crush.

~~~~~~~~~POV Change~~~~~~~~~

Meanwhile, Bridgette looked at her older sister from across the room, knowing that she was having boy problems because that was how she usually acted while thinking about Adrien, although she knew her sister didn't like him that much.

Then again, her sister was very hard to understand. Bridgette knew about her problems with school, with the rumors about her, Lie-bitch and her classmates who seemed to want to torment her, she had long since forgotten about her crush on Adrien when she found out he told Marinette to take the high road (Calling her Marinette cause we're in Bridgette pov.) and was set on hating him. There were other boys for her anyways and Adrien was not one of them.

~~~~~~~~~POV Change~~~~~~~~~

Emilia waited by the alley where Jon usually arrived in, conveniently the one that they told each other their secret identities, well Emilia did. She was nervous to say to say the least, it was her first time seeing Jon after realizing she had a crush on him and she wasn't exactly sure if she could hide it.

Thousands of thoughts raced through her head, what if Jon didn't want to be friends if she confessed? What if confessing went wrong and Jon thought she didn't like him? What if he liked her?

From this, you could tell she was very indecisive. It wasn't exactly one of her best traits but it wasn't the worst, she assumed that her worst was probably the pickpocketing habit she got from Jason.

Arriving at the café, she and Jon went over to the counter and made a small argument about who would be paying. Jon won, much to Emilia's distaste. As she sat a a window table, she looked out of the window at the street. Wondering how Jon would react to her class bullying her. She had mentioned Lila, but never mentioned that they always tried beating her up.

So far they hadn't really succeeded, just a few bruises here and there but that wasn't that important. She was sure that Jon had noticed some of the bruises but never mentioned them out of respect for her, another trait of Jon's that she liked.

She gazed out of the window and noticed two familiar figures, dread filled her as she recognized the two as Alya and Lila. This definitely wasn't gonna end well, and she wasn't looking forward to any of it.

Just then, Jon started approaching her the other exact moment that the evil duo entered the café, this definitely wasn't going to end well. Lila noticed her, whispering something to to Alya before heading over to her.

"Hi Marinette, what are you doing here all alone? Do you have no one to hang out with? You can hang out with us if you'd like?" That voice, that annoying voice. Didn't they have anything better to do than torturing her with their senseless chatter.

"Like I'd hang out with you. Besides, I'm not alone."

"How could you Marinette, I was trying to be nice but you don't seem to want to be friends with me." Oh dear, there were the crocodile tears.

"MARINETTE HOW COULD YOU! SHE WAS ONLY TRYING TO BE NICE!" And there went Alya, comforting Lila and yelling at Emilia. Out of the corner of her eye, she saw Jon pause, watching the scene carefully.

"What's going on here." Somehow, in the brief moment that she looked away from Jon, he had managed to walk over to the table that she was sitting at.

"Oh thank god someone's here, this girl was bullying me! I did nothing wrong."

"Oh really? By the looks of things, you were the one bothering her. She simply rejected your offer to sit with you." Lila looked in shock of Jon's words and Emilia quietly snickered from her spot. Jon really was the best.

Lila scoffed and walked away, Alya following close behind. Jon sat down next to Emilia and looked at her questionably, clearly she had not told him some things about the bullying. She sighed and started explaining the full extent of the bullying.

By the time she had finished, he was practically fuming and she didn't even have to use her powers to guess. She had a strong feeling that Jon wanted to  go over to where Lila and Alya was and beat them up. Which was quite out character for him. She gently grabbed his hand and dragged him outside.

"You didn't have to drag me outside you know."

"I know, I just did it so you wouldn't beat them up."

"I wouldn't have beat them up."

"Oh yeah? Your emotions tell me otherwise." Emilia smirked as she watched Jon's expression slowly become a smile.

"Oh come on, damn magic users."

"You know you love me." She said this as a joke but as she watched Jon's face slowly heat up, she questioned herself whether it was true. She shook her head to clear her thoughts and went back to the conversation.

"Anyways, you should have told me what they were doing to you earlier, I could have helped."

"I didn't want you to worry about me."

"I want to worry about you."

"Well you shouldn't."

"I want to worry about you because I like you." The sentence was a whisper but she heard it anyways, she paused, wondering what would happen if she responded. In a panic, she answered Jon without thinking.

"I like you too Jon." He looked her in surprise, clearly not expecting her to say that. She was surprised at herself as well but hid it much better than he did. This was certainly a way to confess.

Note: Sorry it took me so long to update, I am an amazing procrastinator, which isn't really something to be proud of. If you're still here after my extremely long break, congrats! I'll try to update the next chapter soon, but I don't make any promises. Anyways, bye <3! Also I changed Abigail's name to Emilia to avoid confusion.
