Carrie's POV

"Why? Why I couldn't realize about what I had by myself? Why I wasn't able to realize about it just a bit sooner? Why did I hurt the only person who cared about me?

No one's POV

Carrie just kept crying, the sun was up there, with no cloud to interfere his path yet she just felt a cold empty space in her ghostly chest.

"Are you still crying over that loser? Get over it he is not worth, anyways so Masami did you got that recorded?" Penny said as she smiled.

"You bet Penny" Masami said as she recorded Carrie with her cellphone.

"Um girls, I know this is all cool and all, but aren't we taking things a little bit too far?" Tobias said with a nervous voice.

"If you want to join those losers you can always just go with the Tobias" Masami said with an angry voice.

"You don't know what you had in your hands Penny, you had someone that could have died for you, but you don't care about that do you? You are so fed up with the idea of becoming famous and being a fucking bitch, recording people you humiliate, making yourself a bad girl, but you know what Penny? As someone who it's dead I have seen both sides, and what you don't pay here, you pay it on the other side, but now, now I'm going to give you something to record, to all of you"

Carrie quickly took possession of Masami and she fell to the ground unconscious.

"Masami are you all right?" Penny said with a worried expression on her face.

"Yes she might not get hurt that much, but you start getting worried about yourself" said Carrie through Masami's body as she started to create a storm over Penny.

"Tobias record this, after all our little peanut here always wanted to be a spark so she could get attention all the time!" Carrie said as she delivered thunders against Penny electrifying her.

"Please stop! I'm sorry please, stop!" Penny shouted as she kept getting punished.

"Oh so now you want to stop? What about all those insults towards me? Did you stop when they told you to do it? Did you stop when I told you to do it? No you didn't, but most importantly, this is not about me anymore, this for what you did to Gumball!" Carrie said as she delivered a long shock to Penny.

She then left Masami's body and Masami fell unconscious to the ground.

"You want to be the big deal Penny, you want to be popular whatever the cost it is, and you think you are hot and the greatest shit around, but Penny remember this, I don't need to be inside your body to know that at the end, you are nothing but an empty shell, and that's what you will always be, who would want that? Probably only one person, but you decided to hurt him as much as you can to get attention from people who, at the end, will make you realize that the only thing that empty shell got filled off, where lies, don't fuck with me or any of my friends again Penny".

Carrie started to float away as she left Penny and Masami's body on the ground, Tobias had run away but she had no desire to bother with someone as pathetic as him.

Gumball's POV

"I'm done of this shit, all I wanted to do it's to keep an interesting yet tranquil life here, and now all of this shit happens to me, I mean I wish I was a bird or something like that, just like that one over there, I could just fly away from bad things, just… traveling… the world… alone? But of course how did I never think about that! Today I'm leaving this town, I'm going to leave and I will start traveling the world, no one will ever miss me, no one will notice it, mom it's going to have one less problem, people in school will not get caught in my shit, I will just travel around, getting just enough to eat, the road will be my home, how did I never taught of that? I should have realized this that day I decided to be alone, in fact, I'm glad this has happened to me, if it wouldn't have spent time alone, I wouldn't have realized how beautiful it is not to worry about consequences, just as soon as I get home and I get some clothes and my toothbrush, I must not let anyone know about this so it must be this night, Loner life, here I come!"

No one's POV

Gumball arrived his mom, threw everything and gave her mother a big hug, he didn't said anything, but he knew what it meant, he then went to his father and told him how much he loved him, then left some candy's that Anais loved, and started to pack up the clothes, and decided to just get a bath and wait for the night to leave.

Teri's POV

"Omg, I need to tell Darwin what I saw, I need to find Carrie, but, we are in class, what do I do?"

Teri had seen all of it, since she sat next to the window, something like this couldn't wait for the end of the classes.

"Psst, Darwin, I'm sorry" Teri said with a nervous voice, with doubting eyes and shaking.

She then punched Darwin near his arm but this time not trying to connect the hit, causing him to get a paper cut.

"Both of you go with the principal now!"

"Yes ma'am" Teri said grabbing Darwin with her hand.

"Why did you do that Teri?" Darwin asked confused.

"I can't explain to you, instead let me show you, we need to get to where they save the recording of the cameras, Gumball might be in troubles" Teri said grabbing Darwin's hands.

"But, that's too dangerous we can get kicked from school and all of that stuff, i…" Darwin started to sound doubtful.

"Darwin, do you trust me?" said Teri staring directly to Darwin's eyes.

He remembered that look, the same look Gumball gave to him when they were in the car.

"I trust you" he said with determination.

"Then there's no time to lose"

They reached the room where they monitored everything and it was then when Darwin realized about something.

"Wait, how are we going to get in?" Darwin whispered.

"Don't worry about that, I had thought about that earlier" she said as she went under the door, since she was made of paper she fit into the gap of the door.

"Ok it's open come quickly" she whispered.

When they entered they were surprised about how small the room was, at least for its purpose.

"Wait so no one actually checks what is going on in the cameras?" Darwin asked.

"That's what it looks like, now Darwin watch this, but I must advice you, please remain calm, I beg you" she said a little bit worried.

"Why shouldn't I be calmed?" Darwin asked

"I, guess there's no point just, see it with your own eyes"

She then showed Darwin everything that happened, Darwin then stood serious, with a dark look on his face.

"I can't believe it, after all this time, after all he did for her, is this how Penny pays Gumball?"

"Darwin, I know it was hard to watch, but you need to… wait are you watching this one?" she then pointed to a last recording.

"Wait isn't that Carrie? Why is she crying? Oh my god…" Darwin said as he saw the video.

"We need to find Carrie she might know or be able to help us find Gumball!" Teri said as they were about to leave that room.

"Wait! We must take this and eliminate the evidence of us getting outside"

Teri then proceed to delete the recordings of them going outside of classes, turned off the cameras and took the cd's with the evidence of what happened with Gumball and Carrie, then deleted any backup.

"Why did you did all of that?" Darwin asked.

"We can't leave any evidence, if they see that they can put Gumball, Carrie you or me into troubles!" she said as they started to head out of school.

"Wow you are such an intelligent girl Teri" Darwin said with an amazed voice.

"Oh well, you know I'm, just trying to be helpful! Darn it Dar, we don't have time for this we must find Carrie!" she said as they started to look in the school for her.

"Did you just gave me a pet name? That's so sweet! But it's true we must focus in, wait, there she is!"

"Carrie wait we need to speak with you!" Teri yelled at her as she approached.

"Get away from me! I don't want to be near anyone!" she said furiously.

"We know about what happened, with Gumball, with Masami and the others" Carrie said lowering the tone of her voice as if she was hurt by what she saw.

"Did you? Oh my God I'm sorry, please don't tell anyone, please forgive me Darwin I never meant to hurt your brother like this!" she said with tears in her eyes.

"It's ok Carrie, I know you never meant to hurt Gumball, but we need to find him Carrie, we can't leave him alone, not like this!"

"But I don't know where did he go" she said as she wiped the tears of her face.

"Where do you think Gumball is Darwin?" Teri asked as she tried to think where he was.

"Home?" Darwin said.

"Darwin, Gumball is not that stupid we are still in school hours! No offense" Carrie said with a firm voice.

They stared at each other until Teri said.

"He is that dumb isn't he?" Teri said with a serious face.

"Sigh, yeah!" Darwin answered.

"Well then I guess we are going to your home then"

Carrie said as she started to head outside with Teri and Darwin.

Once they arrived home they saw patrols and Darwin's parents outside.

"What is going on? Mom why are you crying? Why is everyone crying? Darwin said as his voice started to crack and his eyes started to drop tears.

"Oh Darwin thanks God you are here, Gumball, its Gumball" Nicole said as she hugged Darwin, holding his head against her chest.

"What is wrong? What happened to Gumball mom?" He said crying.

"He escaped, I don't know where did he went, all I know it's that he came home earlier, and he hugged me, told your father how much he loved him and left some candy's for Anais, and it was then when I realized he was way too earlier and started to knock his door, then all I heard was a crash and when I entered the room he wasn't there, he jumped from the window and I don't know where did he went" she said as she kept crying.

"Wait a second… why are all of you outside of school?" Nicole said now with an angry voice.

"We saw Gumball running away from school and we decided to follow him but looks like we lost him and weren't able to catch up with him" Carrie rapidly improvised so they would stay out of troubles.

"Oh I see, aren't you his girlfriend?" Nicole asked as she looked at her with a worried look on her face.

"I wish I was" Carrie whispered

"What did you say?" Nicole asked.

"Oh nothing, I'm not Gumball's girlfriend just her fr… someone who knows him" she said biting her lip.

"Thank you for caring about him, I mean it, thanks" Nicole said as she smiled at her.

"It's nothing" she said as she started to feel a remorse she had never felt before.

"Come on kids, get inside, I'll make us something to eat, Nicole, don't worry, Gumball it's a strong kid, I promise you, that I'll find him, I might have failed you plenty of times as a husband, but I'm not planning on letting you down as the father of your kids" Richard said as he took the kids inside.

They ate, in silent, no one wanted to break the silence, it started to rain, the day got grey, and it got cold all of sudden, the night arrived and Gumball was nowhere to be found.

"I'm sorry ma'am but we weren't able to find your child, I'll guess we'll have to look for him tomorrow" said the police officer.

"What? What the fuck do you mean by that? You are just going to give up until tomorrow? You are just going to let my baby face the streets like that? What kind of fucking cop are you?" said Nicole in anger.

"Listen ma'am we are sorry but we can't prioritize him, we have better stuff to do" said the officer as he left.

"I'm gonna…"

"Forget about it honey" said Richard as he interrupted Nicole.

"What the fuck do you mean with that? What happened with the "I won't fail you as the father of your kids" thing?" Said Nicole with a hateful voice.

"No Nicole I'm going to give up, but you once told me, if you want something done, you do it by yourself, kids stay home, I don't want you to leave this place, unless your parents come for you, until then wait for our return" said Richard as he head out with Nicole.

"I lost my brother, I was always so mean towards him, he was always there when I needed him, sure he was annoying, but… but I loved him" said Anais as she started to cry like she never did

Darwin and Teri started to do what they could to comfort her, meanwhile Carrie started to go upstairs, she felt… guilty, as if she was to blame about Gumball's escape, then she heard a noise, a noise coming from Darwin's room. Carrie started to open the door slowly to check what was that.

"It's anyone there? Who is i…"

She froze when she opened the door, and everything went silent for a few seconds, but the silence died by the sound of Carrie's voice saying.

"Gumball?"
