Franki POV
"Marshall wait!" I call, leaping off Gumball. " you told me he was dead!" I snap at Gumball, I put on a shirt that Marshall left a while ago. I've kept it. " he's already dead, so I couldn't really tell" he shrugs after sitting up " and you didn't bother telling me this?!" I exclaim, getting angrier by the second " I didn't think it would matter" he shrugs again. " I could kill you right now" I growl " why aren't you going to?" He smiles, rolling on his side, using his arm to hold his head up. " because I've got Marshall to catch" I slip into my black skinny jeans " are you sure it's not because I'm great at pleasing you?" I shoot him a glare "You almost sound like Marshall" I say through gritted teeth, showing my vampire teeth. Gumball looked insulted, I turn to the nearest window and fly through it, glass shattering everywhere. " hey!" Gumball shouts " not my problem" i fly away from the candy kingdom.
I can't believe he would tell me that Marshall was actually gone just to get into my pants. I thought he was better than that.
I couldn't find Marshall anywhere, it was getting early, the sun started to come up, Time to give up. I fly back home, I open the door " hey Goldie" I shuffle my feet across the floor, my head low. She's only been back a few days, "How was the mission with the prince dear?" She smiles at me, my head snaps up to look at her, I almost questioned her. Gumball must have told her I was on a mission. He planned that. " it was fine" I nod a little, " I'm going to my room" I turn slowly and walk away. " no you aren't, you are going to tell me why I've had a crying vampire rush in and go to your room" I heard her sit down, I sigh and fly over to the couch. " I-" my mouth stopped, I couldn't talk. I felt a knot in my a stomach " I wasn't on a mission with Gumball" I sit down. " he tricked me into sleeping with him" the back of my throat started to burn " I know" she puts her hand on my shoulder, " I thought I killed him" my head falls into my hands, " I thought he was gone" tears fall. " how could I be so heartless"
" you aren't heartless, he told me everything. It was very wrong to slap you, and I understand that hatred was towards your father" Goldie pulls me into a hug "you are not a bad person" she rubs my back soothingly " I'm so sorry" I sniffle, pulling back, " I never meant to be like this, I wanted to be a good person, I want to be that small girl I was years ago" I couldn't cry anymore. I had been crying non-stop for a few weeks, not to mention hating myself. " you still are" she kisses my forehead. "You're sorry for killing Marshall, I know that. So, go apologise" she stood me up " we all make mistakes, we all want to be somebody. But we just need a taste of who we are" she smiles at me. I nod, not understanding fully what she meant. I float away from her and upstairs to my bedroom door, ' do I knock? Or...?' I gently knock and open the door slowly. Marshall had curled up on my bed, holding something to his chest. I walk over to him and run my hand through his hair, his eyes slowly open and he looks up at me " I'm so sorry" I whisper, he looks like he's still half asleep, he puts his hand out to touch the shirt I was wearing, " that's mine" was the only words he said " I haven't been able to part from it, it was the only thing I had left of you" I put my hand over his. He slowly sits up. Giving me a small box, I look down at it and back up to him, his eyes swollen, he must have been crying a lot. " I don't deserve anything from you" I shake my head and push it back to him, he cups my cheek with his free hand, " you never deserved the pain you went through" he pushes my hair away from my eye, seeing the acid burned scars. "I'll kill him" he kisses a scar, I'll kill anyone who hurts you." I take the box and open it, a gold necklace with a ruby on it "Ruby red, like that beautiful eye I love looking into." He smiles faintly "it was supposed to be for when you're mine, but if you want to be with Gumball, that's fine" I felt more tears rise "I'm not... He tricked me" I look in marshalls eyes " I trusted him, and he lied to me" I shake my head, shaking the tears away. " what?" Marshall looked a little happier " he told me you were gone forever, I let the guilt consume me, and he used that as an opportunity to..." I pause, " shhh" he puts a finger to my lips, he takes a deep breath, " Franki, I-" he stops and falls limp, just like he did when I... Well, you know. " Marshall!" I drop everything and catch him, lying him on my bed. " you've been through a lot" I kiss his cheek and lie next to him, putting his arm around me. "I'll never leave".
