Trying to Move On (Felix x Bridgette)

Chapter 2: Silence

Normal POV
Tomorrow arrives faster than usual. Bridgette wasn't feeling well again and her cousin picked her up and took her to her house. Felix sighed in relief that he won't get Plagg mad anymore. He looked at the time and realized it was time for one of his lessons. He got up from his bed and took a step forward and immediately pain ran through his body.

He forgot he got injured yesterday during the battle. He winced and fell to the ground. The pain was incredible. He called for Adrien and Adrien panicked. He was taken to the hospital to check on his injuries.

Apparently, he had terribly bruised his back and chest and cracked a few bones but didn't break them. He shouldn't go to school and little exercise would be great.

Felix was relieved. He didn't have to go to school even though he'll probably get left with a lot of homework. Or he'll be let off because of his father. Either way he was sorta happy he got to stay home.

As Felix looked around his room, his thoughts took him into a trance. What was Bridgette doing during the attack? I thought she went to got take her cousin to safety? Wait, what happened to Ladybug? I was knocked out by Adrien when I was still with her. Did he... no, he wouldn't have? Does he know who she is?

Felix shook these thoughts from his head but soon winced in pain. He let his body relax slowly and breathed in, and out.

"Well look What cat dragged in?" Felix heard his kwamii say.
"Shut it Plagg, I'm in so much pain." Felix growled.
"Ooh really? Let me jump on you!" Plagg started to jump on Felix.
As reflex from the pain he lashed out at Plagg sending the little kwamii to the ground and Felix in such terrible pain, limping on the ground.

"...Felix? Are you okay?" Plagg asked worriedly at his not moving friend.
"Plagg, help...I need... help." Felix coughed in pain.
Plagg freaked out and didn't know what to do.
"Felix... hang in there buddy." Plagg said as he rushed out the room trying to find out what to do.
He saw Natalie and made noises from Felix's room.

Natalie heard the noises and went in his room and immediately went pale at the sight of poor Felix on the ground.
Yet once again Felix was sent to the hospital and was told he had to stay for his injures seemed to have gotten infected and worse.

Later that day a certain blue haired girl met him that day.
"Hello, Felix." Felix saw Bridgette come in.
"Hello, Bridgette." Felix greeted.
"I heard you were taken to the hospital because of injuries, are you feeling better?" She asked.
"No, I feel terrible. I feel like dying." He groaned.
"Felix... stop getting yourself into messes." She wiped away some of his hair from his face and put down flowers she brought for him.

Felix looked at the young girl and saw she too was bruised and hurt.
"Ah, Bridgette, aren't you hurt as well?" Felix said shocked.
"...yes. But don't worry! I can take it! The minute I heard you were hurt, even if I was in pain I ran to see you." Bridgette looked away from him.
"...Bridgette I..." Felix started to say.
"I think I should go." She got up quickly.
Felix grabbed her hand and felt pain shoot up.
"Agh!" He dropped his hand.
"Felix!" He saw tears in her eyes before he blacked out.

Bridgette POV
Oh no! What do I do?
"Nurse! Nurse" I yelled.
"What is it?" A woman came in running.
"He passed out after he stretched his arm!"

"Oh dear, he shouldn't move at all in this state, it looks like his bandages need to change, I'm sorry, but I'm afraid I'll have to ask you to leave the room young lady." The nurse said sternly.

I refused and had to be pushed out the door and kicked out the hospital for the day, I was furious.

"Who do they think they are?! Treating me like that." I stopped.
What am I saying? Has the fame gotten to my head? I-I don't think I can do this much longer.

I ran home, I was tired, I just... couldn't hold myself together anymore.

"Hey sweetie, how wa-"
"I'm tired mom, I'm going to bed." I cut her off.
I rushed towards my room and locked it.
"Tikki... what do I do." I cried.

"Oh Bridgette, it's okay." She patted my head.
But I wasn't okay, I hadn't been this entire time.
I finally lost myself into the darkness, instead of the light.
What...will become of me?

I cried that entire night, I didn't eat, I didn't sleep. Eventually my injuries got worse because I was being restless, and soon I was severely sick. I had to stay home.

"Huff... huff, Tikki, I...need water." I panted, my fever was really high, I really was in trouble this time.

"Oh Bridgette, I can't do that. You'll have to get up, you're parents aren't here either."
"You're right. I just have t-"

Ding! Ding!
Someone had entered the shop.
"Huh? I forgot to close it." I sighed.
"Hello?" That voice!

"Hello?"
"Hey... I'm up here!" I yelled hoarsely.
I heard someone running up the steps, finally the door opened.
"Ah, there you are." He smiled to me.
"I was looking all over for you, Bridgette, or should I say M'lady like Chat Noir?" I giggled.

"Hello there, Adrien."

Adrien POV
"How have you been? Are you healing well?" I asked her as I brought in some tea.
"Unfortunately no. I've gotten a lot worse whereas if I push myself harder it can be life threatening."
"That's terrible! Here, just sit up properly, don't put to much pressure on your arms, you have broken bones there."

"My Adrien, you really are a nice kid, and the image of your brother." I smiled.
"I'm not like him." I said quietly.
"Huh?"
"We... fought. We fought at the hospital yesterday. I had to be taken out because of it."
"Oh Adrien. What'd you say?" She asked.

"Honestly, it's better if you didn't know."
"...I see." She sipped some tea.
"I'm so-"
"No, it's the business between you and your brother, it has nothing to do with me. I shouldn't be nosy." She smiled at me.

When I looked at her, she really did remind a lot of Marinette, of course she was a bit more calmer around me then Marinette, I don't understand why she acts weird around me, but their personalities definitely do reflect each other.

"Hey, Bridgette, why did you fall in love with my brother." She was quiet.
"Well, I'll keep it simple, I was exactly like him when I was little. It wasn't until a tragic accident that I am like this today. I told Chat the entire story when he asked me why I loved Felix, but I didn't exactly tell him why I love him."

"Ah, why do you love him."

She turned to me.
"Because he showed me an act of kindness."

"After I was becoming a bit more friendly, I still had trouble not being nice and sometimes my personality before couldn't be kept in. One day I lost my self completely, not in anger, but sadness."

"I don't remember why exactly, but it was raining. I was on the ground crying, while rain poured on me, but he saw me, bended down, and gave me his hand for help. I was flustered. I accepted it and we sorta just stared at each other. At the time my hair was chopped short and his hair was messy. He told me, "here, take this umbrella." And I accepted it. That one act of kindness, made my heart beat faster then ever."

I stared at her with wonder and she giggled.
"That's why." She said as she ruffled my hair
"I see your brother in you."

Okay so I'm sorry for the super duper long hiatus, I've been really busy with family coming over and visiting that I haven't been able to do much typing. I might start posting at least 2 times a month. This chapter was short cause I didn't have much time. Please be patient, thank you.
