AN: Hey kids I'm back to updating regularly again. I'm not promising because sometimes it just slips my mind. Plus the reason I wrote this was because it needed to be written fresh after 6. So here you go.

Chapter 7

Finn was forcing himself not to lose consciousness while Marceline hugged the air out of his lungs. It had been a full five minutes since he was revived and she hadn't stopped holding him or crying. This made Finn happy to have someone he cared about there with him.

"Marceline... do you mind easing up a bit." He said this with whatever air he had left and tried to urge her to loosen her grip.

"Oh sorry! I didn't mean to-" she felt dumb for nearly choking him to death just after reviving him. She quickly tried to get off of him so he'd have a chance to breath. Once to the side of the bed she stared at his face. he had lost a lot of blood so his skin was still a bit pale.

She failed to notice the doctor walk up behind her with Finn's clipboard in hand. The doctor quickly looked at the heart rate monitor and checked his vitals. After scribbling a few things down she looked at Marceline who still stared at Finn's face.

"Finn I'm Doctor Princess. Are you feeling any pain at the moment besides the obvious." She said the last part while pointing to the gashes on his arm that had recently been bandaged. Finn looked down at his body and tried to lift his arm but was held back by something around his wrist.

Finn was restrained to the hospital bed. He was sure he might be able to break the leather straps normally, but after just losing so much blood he decided to give in.

"Well quite frankly I feel like someone was just jumping up and down on my chest. Oh! And my throats a bit dry." He said this with little seriousness as possible. Some candy people took notice to his foolery and chuckled in the background.

Doctor Princess however didn't like his messing around. She ordered for one of the candy people to get him a water. "Yes you can thank Marceline for the possibly broken ribs." She poked the bruises that covered his chest. "When you flatlined everyone was so awestruck that they didn't bother to try to revive you. Marceline was the only one who took action."

Marceline was still in a daze as she knelt by the bed staring at Finn's face. She hadn't heard a word the doctor was saying and after hearing the doctor speak so highly of Marceline's actions Finn began to stare back into her deep dark eyes.

Finn wanted to reach out with his hand to caress her cheek, but was still being held back. "If I'm alive then why do I have to wear these cuffs?" Finn made sure to not sound to aggravated when he spoke for he didn't want to be rude to the people that just saved his life.

Everyone in the room was quiet and neglected to answer his question. "Can we have a few minutes please everyone?" Doctor Princess motioned for everybody to leave the room and wait in the grand hall of the castle. As Finn watched the people go they each had the same exact facial expression which he could only guess was that of pity.

When all the onlookers were removed the only people left were Princess Bubblegum who still had tears in her eyes, Doctor Princess, and Marceline who still knelt there looking at him. Now though he could finally see something in her eyes. He thought it might be pain for now she looked angry at him and her face was beginning to dampen with tears.

"Finn..." Bubblegum was first to speak, but was quickly cut off by a now sobbing Marceline.

"Why? Why did you do it Finn!? Why would you do something like this! I want an answer NOW!" She now screamed at him while he laid there tied down defenseless. He could feel tears form in his eyes and they burned with anger.

"MY BROTHER! MY BROTHER IS DEAD! Where were you huh!? When I was alone... when I had no one else." His face was now soaked with tears. He wanted to turn his body over so he didn't have to look at them, but the restraints held him back.

Marceline just say there with a tear soaked face while Finn struggled with his straps. She wanted to hug him again and tell him it was going to be alright, but was afraid he would turn her away or yell at her for trying to comfort him. "Yes I wasn't there! Maybe not immediately because I hadn't gotten word, but if I had? I would have been there to help you through your dark times." She was still crying, but not as excessively like before.

Finn only stared at her with a straight face not wanting to interrupt while she explained herself. "And news flash for you! You did have someone! BMO tried to comfort you and talk to you, but all you did was tell at him and crush his little robot heart! He tried, was, and IS there for you Finn. And now so am I."

Marceline leaned on the bed and grabbed his restrained hand and held it. After she let go Finn looked down at his arm. He wondered how much of a mess he left BMO. He didn't want BMO to feel unwanted after trying to help. "Marcy can you go to the tree fort and get two things for me?"

Marceline sat in silence whilst staring at him. She had stopped crying and now wanted to help again in any way possible. "What do you need Finn? I'll do anything for you."

"I need a photo of Jake and please bring BMO here so I can talk to him. Oh! And can I please not wear these restraints?" Finn said this while shacking his wrists that had yet been freed.

"I'm afraid that would be a no Finn. I'm sorry but we are forced to still consider you a danger to others and yourself. When you show improvement then I'll see what I can do." Doctor Princess had a dead serious look on her face and Finn knew he shouldn't question her opinions or authority so he complied.

When he looked back to where Marceline had been kneeling she had already left. He didn't get to say goodbye, but then again it was vice versa a few hours earlier. He decided that he had to right his wrongs and fix all the junk he caused.

But somewhere in his mind lurked questions still unanswered, and he still needed to escape his mind hole in time before going off the deep end. Finn needed to get back to normal before the pain set in again, and all he could think about we're Marcy and what Jake had said.

"I'll always be with you..."
