Hey this is Broken here, I would like to thank you for reading. I have been working on this for over a year, and it's now thirty chapters and going. So be prepared for a lot more. I would like to inform you though that I have a page on Facebook called Marshall Lee and I post updates on when I'm typing the next chapter and just Adventure Time related things. So if you still use the Book of Face go and give me a like. It's the one with like forty-Five likes. Okay no more wasting time. Let's get to the story.
Fionna walked in with Marshall and, as expected, went straight to his refrigerator. Marshall laughed and shook his head. Fionna look at him with a puzzling look.
"Like I said, I knew you came for something" Marshall leaned against the counter.
Fionna frowned "Come one, Marshy. I didn't come to just eat your food. I haven't seen you in days, and I wanted to make sure you were okay."
It was true, they had not spent any time together since she had begun dating Flame Prince. Anytime he wanted to make plans, she had already had some with Hot Head. He was honestly tired of seeing her with him.
"I thought I'd just chill at home for a bit. Take some time to relax before I go out and cause some mayhem." Marshall smirked and crossed his arms.
Fionna knew she had been ditching Marshall and it began to make him jealous, but she really liked Flame Prince, even though he had problems. She closed the refrigerator and stood against it.
"Marshall I'm sorry I've been ditching you, but I…." Her eyes caught his arm's burns. "Marshall… What happen to your arm?"
Marshall had forgotten all about his burns. He tried quickly to hide it behind his back, but to no avail.
"Marshall… let me see your arm." Fionna sternly walked over to him and grabbed his arm, making him grit his teeth. "These are burns, Marshall, aren't they?"
Marshall's body could quickly heal cuts and bruises, but sun burns were another story.
"Fi… I… just…" Marshall could not think of any lie that could cover this up.
"Did you let this happen, Marshall?!" Fionna began to get angry with him.
"No… I just forgot that I couldn't go out into the sun…" Marshall kicked himself, mentally.
"You haven't been able to walk put into the sun for one thousand years, and NOW you forget?" Fionna could not stand lying. It made her angry fast. "Marshall. You didn't… try again did you?"
- FLASHBACK-
Marshall sat in his favorite place, the strawberry patch near his cave. It's where he spent most nights writing his best songs, or just pondered life. This time though he had other intensions. He watched the skyline begin to light up. Night was turning to day. He sat, waiting, for the light to hit him.
At that moment though Fionna had happen to be coming back from saving Prince Gumball from Ice Queen and she wanted to see Marshall. When she passed the patch she saw Marshall laying on the ground. 'Hey look its Marshall' she thought as she walked closer. Then she noticed it, the sun was out and so was Marshall. Her walk turned into a sprint. She watched as Marshall's skin began to boil.
Marshall had his eyes closed when he felt someone jump on him. He instantly began to try to fight back, but whoever it was had him down. "Get off me!" Marshall screamed.
"NO! What the heck, Marshall?!" Fionna yelled back.
It was Fionna "Get off, Fionna, Let me do this!" He began to struggle harder.
"No! Marshall you're my friend and I will not let you do this!" She was using all her force to keep him down. She looked around for somewhere shaded. The only thing around was an apple tree with a small amount of it. She picked up Marshall and threw him towards it. He rolled into the shade and began to stand when Fionna slammed him into the tree, pinning him.
"FIONNA!" Marshall began to show his fangs and red eyes.
Instead of getting scared Fionna punched him in the face and let him go, but just long enough to pull him into a hug. Her tears fell onto his shirt. Marshall stood shocked at how fast things had escalated.
"Marshall… I don't know why you were doing this, but… please don't… You mean so much to me. Just don't… for me?" She pulled her head off his chest and looked at him.
He could not stand her crying, especially over him. Those blue eyes made his whole body feel a warmth. Her words had so much meaning behind them.
"Y…Yea. I won't do it again…." He wrapped his arms around her. At the moment, right there, Marshall knew Fionna was meant for him.
-End of Flashback-
"Marshall. You didn't… try again did you?" Fionna said looking him in the eyes.
Marshall felt untrusted and angry now. "Fionna I said I wouldn't and I meant it!" He walked towards the living room, but stopped and turned to her again. "I can't believe you. You walk into MY house, after ditching me for days, and ask THAT! Just get out. Go to you Prince and leave me be."
This made Fionna angry "I was just looking out for you Marshall! What's your problem?!"
"My problem is you ditch me to go see your angry ball of fire. Then come into my house asking if I tried to kill myself!" He started to walk away, but Fionna caught his hand.
"I'm sorry Marshall. I have been tied up. Just hard to make time for everyone now."
"You can always make time for hot head though, huh?" Marshall tried pulling his hard away, but Fionna had it tight.
"What's your problem with him?" Fionna did not like how Marshall was acting towards her, and the names he was calling Flame Prince.
"My problem is that he is a time bomb, waiting to hurt everyone around him and you. I don't want you get hurt. Plus he gets to call you his, and I don't…" Marshall let it slip. His anger made him lose control of his mouth.
"Marshall… I didn't know…" Fionna let go of his hand.
"Fionna just go home. I'm fine on my own. Always was and will be.
"But-"Fionna tried to object.
"Just go, Please." Marshall hung his head and walked into the living room.
Marshall heard the door open and close as Fionna left. He did not want her to leave, but it was too much to have her around, after all that had just happen.
Fionna was walking towards home when she looked back at Marshall's cave. He liked her and needed her, but she had been ditching him. She was a terrible friend, she thought. She turned and began her slow walk home again.
Marshall picked up his guitar and began to play.
"And every time I think of you
I think of how you pushed me through
And show me how much better I could be
Here I am with all my heart
I hope you understand
I know I let you down
But I'm never gonna make
That mistake again
You brought me closer
To who I really am
Come take my hand
I want the world to see
What you mean to me
You make me feel like I'm myself
Instead of being someone else
I wanna live that every day
You say what no one else was saying
You know exactly how to get to me
You know it's what I need
It's what I need…. yeah"
This will get less depressing in maybe… two chapters so stick with it. It'll be worth it.
Can't wait till next time, Broken Out.
