《Marinette One-Shots》Reasons To Stay
Advertisement
Jagged Stone's adopted daughter, the famous music artist Nettie, released a new song, with a reveal, and everyone was waiting for it to start on the News
"Don't be bemused! It's just the news, you're here with Nadja Chamack. Today we'll be reviewing the new music video by Nettie! Apparently, she'll finally be revealing her identity! Let's get into it!" after Nadja finished talking, the beginning of the video was pulled up. It showed Nettie with her tell-tale mask sitting on a Bridge overseeing the Seine. She took a deep breath, and you could tell she'd been crying. She began her song,
"I've been driving around here in this town
Know it like the back of my hand
I've been dreaming of ways, ways to get out
Put myself in a box that I'd never be
Someone I'm proud of you see
Here I am on this bridge facing defeat"
Marinette was sick of Paris, of Lila, and her lies, of those who believed Lila over her, of life. She just had to get out of this god-forsaken town.
Because they had finally driven her to the edge. She didn't believe in herself anymore. She was never proud of anything she was anymore. She hated herself, and her failures, with every fiber of her being. She was ready to jump, even if she knew she couldn't.
"I'm just doing the best I can
I'm just living in the life I have
I'm confused but I'm fine with that
The beauty will outweigh the pain
From the chill of the autumn wind
And the laugh of your sister's kid
To the first snow when it sets in
The beauty will outweigh the pain
We'll all find a purpose one day
There's so many reasons to stay"
Marinette knew she was doing her best, the best she could, Marinette was just living the life she'd been forced into. With her parents, and their abuse, and then Ladybug, and then. . . Lila, but then good things had happened too. Jagged had adopted her, she'd made new friends, this was her life now, and she wouldn't trade it for the world.

Marinette didn't want to live anymore. She didn't want to die, that wouldn't help anybody. But she didn't want to live. She wanted to reach out, she wanted to get help, but how do you tell someone that? She'd been bottling up her emotions for so long, even before Hawkmoth and his butterfly's, she didn't know how to let someone into her mind. Marinette just wanted to survive, and be happy, but that, wasn't that beyond her reach now?
""
Nettie grabbed her mask, and flung it below, into the Seine, revealing herself to be Marinette Dupain-Cheng, well, now it was Marinette Stone. Taking a shaky breath, Marinette continued the song.
"I'm just doing the best I can
I'm just living in the life I have
I'm confused but I'm fine with that
The beauty will outweigh the pain
We'll all find a purpose one day
We all have a reason to stay"
Marinette turned to the camera and told her story.
"My name was Marinette Dupain-Cheng, I was the daughter of Tom and Sabine, but unlike how thy may have looked to everyone else, they weren't good parents. They taught me I was worthless, they taught me to give all I had to help others, because I was hopeless myself, they beat me when I was nice to myself, or when I was anything less then perfect. I didn't know it then, but they were abusive. So, from the time I was a child till now, I've been bottling my emotions, you tell me. Would I have been a good Akuma with so much raw emotions I've hidden from the world, from my friends? Anyways, not to long ago, I became the ultra famous Ladybug, giving my ALL to protect those who didn't care, protecting those I cared for, protecting those that hurt me. Because I wasn't supposed to pay attention to myself, everyone else was more important. Then, a girl, a liar came into my life, she took away my reason for living, she took my friends, and got them to hate me with her lies. Despite everything that's happened to me, there were some good things. For example, Lila made me get real friends, friends who care, friends who want to help me. But I can't do it. I'm sorry Paris, I'm sorry Chloe, Alix, Kagami, Luka, Jagged, Penny, I can't, I won't do this anymore." and with that, she leaned back, and said "I've lost my reasons to stay. Goodbye Paris," and with that, Marinette transformed and teleported out of Paris.

There were a few seconds with a black screen before it shifted back to Nadja Chamack, who looked obviously stunned. She shook her head, and said, "Uh, so there you have it, Paris-" and the News cast was cut.
