The Depression

by DistortedFlamingTurtle

Penny broke up with Gumball, which made Gumball spiral into a deep, deep depression. He was considering suicide, and his friends and family tried to stop him. They were successful. This is the story of what happened, from Gumball and his friends and family's perspective. Rated T for some language (Later in the story) and talks of suicide and the like. Yes, I'm back.

The Depression

(Gumball's side told like this, classmates' side told like this)

I hate school. You probably know that. It's a common piece of information, like the sky is blue, or fire is hot. But there was one thing that kept me going. In the toughest of times, the hardests of life. One thing. A name. A person. Penny. She was, and still is, my girlfriend. She was the shining star in my life, a thing that illuminated everything with grace. But I am about to tell you of a time that it wasn't the best. Actually, it was the worst. Me and Penny…. Me and Penny…. We broke up. She forgave me, but I can't still get over it. Well, let's begin.

Penny is amazing. She is funny, smart, and above all, beautiful. She couldn't get mad over anything. She was basically an angel. Actually, she's a fairy, kept in a shell for a long time. But, I did something horrible, so unspeakable, that Penny broke up with me. I can't say it, I just don't want to. She got so mad at me. Super pissed. She screamed, transformed into the worst thing you'll ever imagine, and just became my living nightmare. She also said the worst words. She said: "Gumball Tristopher Watterson, you don't deserve to exist." She held a grudge at me for a long, long time. When she said those words, I felt horrible. My heart, shattered. My life, crushed. We had to be together, we were destined to. But that all changed.

(Darwin) I still don't understand why Gumball got depressed so heavily. I mean, I kinda understand. Penny was the love of his life. But still, this much? Debating suicide, talking to self at night, bags under his eyes. He was horrible. The worst I had ever seen. (Tobias) That idiot doesn't know one thing about relationships. Never broke up in my life. That's not because I never had a girlfriend, don't make assumptions. It's just, he's a stupid idiot. I'm the best, no exceptions. I don't understand. (Nicole) I hated the times that Gumball was depressed. My poor son, hopeless and sad. He wouldn't do anything. But the worst would probably be him muttering to himself at night. The murmurs, saying horrible things. "I can't take this anymore. Should I just end it? I can't think of any happy ending. No way to solve this. I have to end it all. Later though." That was one of his murmur nights. That's my word on this horrible incident.
