*Friday After School*
"Gumball, we need to talk." Penny said. Immediately, nervousness struck the blue cat. He'd heard about conversations that started like this, and they never ended well.
"A-Alright. About what?" He stuttered.
"Well, I just think that we-" she was cut off.
"Should get ice cream, right? I-I was just thinking the same thing, heh." He chuckled nervously, scratching the back of his head.
"No Gumball, I think we need to-"
"Go see a movie, r-right? Y-Yeah!" He said, trying to stop her.
"No Gumball, I'm trying to tell you-"
"How much you love this relation-"
"Gumball, listen! I tried being nice, but obviously that isn't working. Gumball, I think we need to break up!" She yelled, covering her mouth. Gumball stopped immediately. When she realized what she had done, she quickly apologised.
"Gumball, I'm so sor-"
"B-But... why? Do you-" he sniffled and wiped tears from his eyes. "Do you not love me anymore?" His voice cracked.
"No, Gumball, I love you to death! It's just, I feel like we're growing up; realizing that, maybe we're not meant for each other. I love you to he moon and back, and I would be devastated if anything ever happened, but I just, don't feel the way 2 years ago when we were teenagers. Because that's just what we were: teenagers. I just feel like now, I need to start making my own choices and move on from the things in the past. There was one point where I really did feel like I would spend the rest of my life with you, but that's just... gone. I really hope you find someone who will treat you better than I have-" she wiped a tear from his face. "Because I'm not doing a great job at making you happy." She kissed him on the cheek and turned away. "I'll see you around, Gumball." She walked away, leaving Gumball alone.
Gumball didn't know what to feel. He had never been broken up with before. He tried to walk away, but his knees buckled beneath him, and he fell to the ground. He began to cry. He just sat there crying, for what felt like forever. Eventually, he regained his composure, and went home.
On his way, he tried to think of all the reasons she would have broken up with him, but nothing came to mind. 'Penny could have broken up with me at any time if something was wrong.' He thought to himself. 'But she didn't. None of this makes any sense!' He was mentally yelling at himself. His thoughts came to a close as he neared the door.
