No one's POV
"Carrie? What are you doing here?" Gumball said with a confused look on his face.
"Where have you been? Everyone is looking for you! How could you do this to everyone? What were you thinking?" Carrie said with a worried voice.
"Oh! So suddenly now everyone cares about me? Tch, what a cliché! Well anyways I was just waiting for everyone to leave so I could grab my clothes and leave this letter for Darwin since I wasn't able to say goodbye to him" he said with an emotionless look on his eyes as he grabbed his backpack full of clothes.
"And where are you going? What's the point of this attention? Don't you care about your mother? Your father? Your little sister? Darwin? What about… me?
"They'll be fine, I'm just a nuisance for them, I'm making them a favor, and no… this is not for attention, in fact, I'm doing this so I can go as unnoticed as I can, there's no reason for me to stay here, not a single one, I have been alone lately, I have been walking discovering places I didn't knew, and I felt, I felt happy with myself you know? I won't be putting people in dangerous situations"
"Are you just plain stupid or what Gumball? They love you they want to here with them… I want… No! I need you here with me Gumball"
"Oh come on I'm not that stupid, I'm not falling for that one, aside, I was made for this, I can take care of myself, and the fuck do you mean with being here for everybody? Listen Carrie, you don't own me anything ok? If you are feeling bad for using my body, its ok I made that decision you don't have to make up with me or anything all right? It was just a favor, between friends" he said with a little smile on his face.
"It's not about me using your body Gumball for fuck's sake! I never meant to use you the way Penny did! I know I was a piece of shit to you and yet you… you stayed with me, you kept helping me, lending me your body, lending me your help, lending me your friendship! But can't you see that I'm feeling something beyond friendship? Gumball I had never realized how much you cared for me! I was so inside my idea of hating everybody just because some were pricks towards me, but I never realized until a few days ago that I was doing the same with you, so please, please stay!"
Carrie was yelling at him, in tears, with her voice cracking all over the shouting, and Gumball just stood still, as he just looked down to hide the tears on his face.
"Give me one good reason, one just one, to stay here Carrie, in a place where everybody hates me" he said as he tried to contain the tears on his eyes.
Carrie couldn't hold it anymore, she just hugged him, she buried her face in his chest as she started to cry, holding him as if it was the last time she would see him, holding him as if he was his last good memory.
"Because I love you Gumball, because I love you and I'm scared of losing you, I'm scared of you leaving, and that every time that you remind me, you remind me as the ghost girl who used your body to eat, and not as the ghost girl that was the love of my life"
Gumball hug her back, with a soft touch.
"You are just saying this to make me feel better" he said as if he was hurt by the word Carrie had spoken.
"That's the worst thing Gumball, maybe if I truly loved I would just let you go and be happy, but honestly, I'm doing this for myself, because even thought I have no heart, when I realized how much I loved, I could swear, I could feel my heart beat again, please forgive me for doing this to you" Carrie said as she looked at Gumball's eyes.
"I, I don't know what to do, I want to leave so everyone will stop bothering me, but, but I, I want to stay at the same time now, Carrie, how long have you been feeling like this for me? I'm confused I can't understand, everything it's so difficult, but, but do you truly mean this Carrie? Do you truly love me?" Gumball said confused, as he walked towards the window.
"Gumball, before you leave, can I ask you for one last thing?" Carrie said with a depressed voice.
"What is it Carrie?" he said as without turning his face to her.
"Can, can you be my first kiss?"
Gumball froze up for minute, her voice sounded so sincere, so honest, and deep inside he knew he wanted to have her first kiss with her too.
"Yes Carrie I guess, I guess it's the least I can do for you after making you go through all of this" he said turning to her.
"Gumball"
Carrie softly placed her hand on Gumball's cheek, slowly closing to each other, more and more, until they both closed their eyes and both of their lips touched each other, kissing slowly, gently, but with passion, the rain could be heard outside, the cool wind entered through the window, they felt cold and warm, both feelings at the same time, and then the lips separated, leaving their owners with hunger of more of that act.
"Goodbye Gumball" Carrie said looking at him with tears on her eyes, but with a little smile.
"I guess" Gumball said as he approached the window only leave his backpack on the floor.
"That you gave the most beautiful reason to stay here" he finished the sentence with a cocky smile on his face.
He said as Carrie with a huge smile and tears of joy knocked him and started to kiss him with passion, they both laid on his bed and started to kiss furiously as If they tried to eat each other, the kissed began to become soft caresses, she started to take Gumball's T-shirt and went she almost got it all off from him she petrified when she heard the sound of…
"Gumball? Gumball!" said Anais as she got on top of his brother crying.
"Oh my God please forgive for all those time I abused your ignorance brother, I never meant to be that bad, please don't leave us! Please I love you brother" she said as she hugged him.
"Oh my, hehehe don't worry little sister I'm not going anywhere" he said just as he and Carrie started to feel embarrassed.
"Wait, why was Carrie taking your T-shirt off? She said raising an eyebrow.
"Oh well I was… Stopping him from running away yeah!" she said with a nervous smile.
"Oh thank you Carrie, thank you so much!" she said
"Thank God that she is still innocent in that matter" Gumball thought.
"But don't tell anyone about that ok?" Carrie said patting her in the head.
"Mmm I don't know what I get for keeping the secret?" she said scratching her chin.
"You like sugared gummy bears right? I have lots of them, if you keep the secret I can give you a box full of those" Carrie said with a smile in her face.
"Deal!" Anais said as she left the room.
"Well I guess, that, we, need to think what are we going to say to your parents?" Carrie said as she rested her head on Gumball's head.
"Until then, just stay here in the bed, with me, just hugs me" Gumball said while toying with her ghostly hair.
"I might never let you go" she said warning him.
"Then what are you waiting for?"
They hugged each other as they both fell asleep hugging each other.
The night was calm, with everyone being with those who they loved, Carrie with Gumball, Teri with Darwin, and Anais with Daisy, and nothing was going to change that.
"Gumball Watterson! Where have you been! What are you doing with Carrie sleeping in the same bed, do you even know what we have been through!"
Gumball woke up and fell off the bed hitting his face with the floor as he heard his mother voice, she was mad as hell, but then she started to cry and hugged him.
"I thought I had lost you, I thought that I was never going to be able to see you, what were you thinking when you left?" she asked him while grabbing his shoulders.
"I thought that I was too dangerous, I always keep getting people in problems and well, I was scared of getting someone I loved hurt, but, then Carrie found me when I came back and convinced me to stay" he said with a disappointed voice.
"Oh my dear, we would never let you go, don't you ever think that way again, come here and hug me!" said Nicole as she hugged him harder and Richard hugged them too.
"Thank you Carrie for convincing Gumball for staying with us, you truly can consider yourself as part of this family" Richard said while smiling at her.
"More than you think sir" she said under her breath.
"What did you said?" Nicole said confused.
"Oh nothing, just that I'm glad you look at me like that" she said nervously.
"Well we should make something for the kids they must be hungry" said Richard as he took Nicole with him.
"What do you mean with that? Richard? Are you feeling ok?" Nicole asked confused as he took her with him out of the room.
"Well, so I guess we are like lovers now right?" Gumball said with a weird laugh.
"After what happened last night do you still have doubts?" said Carrie with a coy smile.
"You know, I don't care what others said, for being a ghost, you surely ignited that spark that had turned off deep in my soul" said Gumball putting her hair aside so he could see both of her eyes.
"I guess that I'm still a dead girl you know?" she said with a little smile
"Why do you say that?" Gumball asked.
"Because I'm dying for kissing you" she said giving him a little kiss in the lips.
Both teenagers went down and ate, finally having some peace, Carrie finally felt part of something, a family, and Gumball finally had found someone who would accept him with his pros and his cons, but what they both found, was love, someone to care about, and at what looked like the end of this couple story, was just merely the beginning, the beggining of a happy and beatiful life…
Together.
