Invisible

11 - Efforts

Chat was taking Marinette back, but the bluenette wasn't completely calm. She seriously needed to start working on her return. Chat noticed her uneased state, so he stopped.

"What's wrong, Princess?" he asked, looking down at her. She looked at him and sighed. She had to tell him, he would surely understand.

"It's just that... I would like to start trying to... I don't know... Bring me back. I have a bad feeling, I don't want to wait too long". She analyzed his expression: guilt. Of course he would feel that way. Chat was really selfless and he probably was blaming himself for not trying hard enough.

"Don't get me wrong Chat, I'm not blaming you for anything. I'm just telling you my thoughts" she said before he could open his mouth. His expression changed into a relieved one, he smiled a bit.

"Maybe we can go to the hospital now? And try something out if there's no one in the room?" Chat offered and Marinette nodded. He changed directions and jumped to the hospital. It took them 20 minutes to get there. When Chat located the window of Marinette's room, he used his baton to reach it while still carrying his friend's ghost.

Chat was about to leap in when he saw her parents got inside. He moved to one side of the window.

"Dang it" he mumbled, but Marinette still heard it. She raised an eyebrow.

"What is it?".

"Your parents are there" he sighed. Marinette quickly understood that they had to wait for a while. She climbed to the way, using Chat as some kind of ladder, and sat on the window. That she would tell Chat Noir when the room was empty.

After 10 minutes which seemed like 10 hours, her parents finally left. She was about to inform him, when the door opened once again, but this time it was Alya. Marinette sighed and told Chat it was a false alarm, so he lowered his baton so people would stop looking at him like some kind of creepy stalker. Everybody would look like one if they stood next to a window looking down as if they were concentrated listening to what was happening inside.

When he was on the ground, Marinette entered to see what Alya was going to do. She saw that her friend had brought a card and placed on the desk next to the bed. It was filled with cards and presents, there was even a bouquet of red roses. Marinette got closer to Alya and watched.

Alya grabbed her hand, but Marinette didn't feel a thing. Huh... She thought. Alya then kneeled and started talking.

"Hey Mari... The doctor said that if I talked to you, maybe your brain would catch some of things I say," she smiled weakly and Marinette smiled genuinely "Well... Nino, Adrien and I agreed to come every Tuesday and Saturday. Adrien, Marinette! He's super concerned about you, Nino thinks he feels somehow guilty for what happened to you... I'm sure it isn't his fault, but it's just so cute how he's worried about you. Also, the three of us are going to see a movie this afternoon, at 6 to be exact. We are going to watch Back to the Future since neither Adrien nor Nino have watched it, and it's going to be in my place... When, you, u-umm, when you wake up, I remember you wanted us to see Pretty Woman because according to you, it's a really good movie. Please wake up soon girl, I can't wait to watch that movie" Alya then sobbed, left Marinette's hand on the bed and brought the chair closer. She then started narrating a lot of things that had happened lately. When she finished, she started reading all the cards that she could find. When she read Adrien's, Marinette couldn't help but blush a little. Then she read Chat's card, and Marinette kept the blush but formed a little smile with her lips. Everything took around half and hour. Alya said goodbye and left, saying that Adrien should be the next to visit since he had a photoshoot in 10. When she left, Marinette quickly called Chat and he immediately leaped in.
