"I love you."

His words echo inside my head. I loved Marshall more than I loved science. He was everything to me. Each and every night he would

visit me on my balcony. He'd bathe me in kisses and showered me with love. We were both in complete bliss, but one day... the visits just

stopped. I would wait for his arrival, but he never showed. minutes turned into hours, hours into days, days into weeks! But by then my

curiosity got the best of me, and I believed it was time to take matters into my own hands. For those long weeks my mind was racing,

not for a new equation, but for Marshall.

"What if something terrible happened?"

"What if he is furious with me? If so, what for?"

"What if he doesn't love me anymore?"

These were the questions that were racing through my mind. These questions were my breakfast, lunch and dinner, these are the

questions that have lulled my to sleep for the past three weeks! In the midst of my frustrated rambling I heard the joyus laughter of

Fionna.

"It's been a while since I've seen the young adventuress."

I followed the laughter and as I was approaching the fair maiden, I could hear soft melodies coming from her wonderful voice and soft notes

being plucked from a... base! Marshall!

I erupted from the bushes in silence and saw my best friend being embraced by the muscular arms of my lover. Together, singing beautiful

songs, holding hands, skipping stones. He even let her play his base. Something he never let anyone do! That base is his prized possession,

every time I would want to inspect his handy-work he would swat my hands away and tell me not to get my grubby mitts on it. But now here is

Fionna, a girl who loves to get dirty (*A.N: NOT LIKE THAT, MIND YOU!)and play rough, plucking sour notes from the base. They both rested under

the stars and he abruptly sat up. Me thinking that he has spotted my essence hid in the pile of leaves. But no, he gazed into Fionna's eyes lovingly

and bent down close to her face, allowing their noses to brush against one another. Their hands inter twined, and in front of my very eyes Marshall

Lee planted a very passionate kiss on that young girl. I could feel my heart being shattered into a million pieces. All feelings being drained. All except

for one... HATE. Hot tears rolled down my rosy cheeks as I sprinted out of the bushes and ran through the forest.

Betrayed. Betrayed by the one person I loved the most. I kept running I didn't stop until I reached the doors of the candy Kingdom. Once let

in I burst through the door to my room and collapsed in emotional exhaustion on my bed. I buried my face into a pillow, allowing all emotion

to pour through. His words still echo in my head. They leave a sour taste in my mouth, LIES! Screaming at the top of my lungs, my full volume of my

yells being muffled by the cushion of the pillow.

'WHERE IS THE LOVE NOW MARSHALL!?'

Weeks would pass and I refused to leave my castle, let alone my room. I just couldn't. Everything I see reminds me of him. I cried myself

to sleep every night just reminiscing of that one moment shared between my two friends. well ex and ex-friend. But no matter what I said

about hating Marshall Lee, I shall not, will not, could not ever mean it. I recall all the times we shared, good and bad.

Every night I would always wait by the balcony, hoping that one day, my king shall return to me.
