Alone in this world

Chapter 16

Horrible reunion

Marceline got up two hours later; she was exhausted from last night. She stretched her arms before going over to one of the drawers to get out some clean clothes; she looked in the one drawer with one pair of clothes. She sighed and took them out, they were a tube top with tight blue ripped jeans; it reminded her that she needed to go buy some more soon. She took them and brought them into the bathroom, she took a quick shower before throwing on her clothes and heading down stairs. The first thing she noticed was that Marshall wasn't on the couch anymore; she eyed the couch curiously before heading into the kitchen for something to eat. She saw Finn and Fionna at the table whispering to each other, they paid no heed to her so she just shrugged at them. She walked over to the fridge and opened it, sighing at the sight of an almost empty fridge; she grabbed a bruised apple and bit into it before closing the door. She figured she could go shopping today with the little money she made; even though she was saving it up for clothes but food is better than a full wardrobe. She opened up the fridge, the cupboards and the pantry; making a mental list of all the foods she needed to get.

"What are you doing?" Finn asked as he drank some milk.

Marceline turned around. "We're running low on food, I guess having more than two people here make it worse." Marceline chuckled.

Finn rolled his eyes. "I guess but I'm glad to have you guys here, with me and Fionna it's just really boring and stuff." Fionna nodded in agreement.

Marceline smiled, the Merten kids have been so nice to her and her brother for letting them stay here and make this their home. She felt bad for staying here most of the time but she couldn't ask for a better home.

"Yea well, I better pay my due; I'll go grocery shopping." Marceline walked out of the kitchen.

She went to the front door and rummaged through her jacket pocket, pulling out a wore out wallet. She took some bills and counted them, she added up one hundred and sixty dollars; just enough to get what she needed. She stuffed the money back into the wallet and put it in her pants pocket before slipping on her jacket. As she reached down to get her boots, Finn grabbed her and pulled her into a kiss. Marceline wrapped her arms around him and held the kiss for a while before they broke apart panting.

"Be back soon!" Finn smiled

Marceline smiled and rubbed their noses together. "I'll try."

She unhooked her arms as Finn let her go, she got her boots on and went out the door. Finn waved her goodbye as she walked down the street. When he was sure he was gone, he rushed back into the kitchen.

"Okay this is serious, we have to find Marshall before she does or else she is going to flip out." Finn said in a very concerned voice.

"I know okay but we don't know where he is. He could be anywhere." Fionna bit her lip.

"I can't believe he heard that, I was sure he was heavy sleeper like Marceline." Finn ran a hand through his hair as he paced around the kitchen.

Fionna was about to sob, she didn't want him to hear anything about her dysfunctional relationship, she worries he's going to hunt down Elias and kill him or worse; he gets killed instead. Fionna couldn't bear the thought; they phoned around for the pass two hours before Marceline woke up. They were worried and a wreck thinking about what mess he was getting himself into, they tried calling the police but no word about him yet. Finn went over to her and put a hand on her shoulder before sitting down next to her.

"Don't cry Fionna, we'll find him. I'm sure about it, Margaret and Georgia said they won't give up until they find him. Even after the 48 hour missing person's period." Finn smiled to reassure her.

Fionna wiped her forming tears and nodded. "I don't want him to get hurt…. Even if he's trying to help me out."

"Don't worry, we'll find him and get that bastard boyfriend of yours"

Marceline arrived at the super market on the far edge of town, she used the bus to get here since she couldn't use Finn's car. She sighed as she grabbed a cart from the outside cart storage areas in the parking lot; she strolled in the air-conditioned place. She pushed her cart down the aisles looking for the items on her list. As she searched she saw two gingers talking to each other, they looked familiar to her so she squinted a bit. Her eyes widen when she saw Bonnie and Greg, she wanted to avoid them but she found herself strolling over to them.

"… We can't risk it; we have to cut them lost." Bonnie said.

"But Bonnie, how can we?" Greg replied.

"What are you guys talking about?" Marceline said as she strolled by them and stopped.

Bonnie and Greg looked at her before looking at each other confused. Bonnie looked back at Marceline, looking at her from head to toe; she scoffed and walked away. Marceline abandoned her cart and went after her; she grabbed her arm and pulled her back a bit.

"Bonnie what's wrong with you? Why do you keep avoiding me?" Marceline asked.

Bonnie looked back at her and glared. "Marceline please let go of me before you cause a scene."

"Answer me first then I can save you the embarrassment." Marceline said firmly.

Bonnie sighed. "You're snagging my boyfriend what else?"

"Wait- boyfriend? But- I thought you two broke up?" Marceline sounded confused.

Bonnie rolled her eyes. "We broke up because of you."

Marceline's eyes went wide. "W-when?"

"Oh please, don't act like you don't know. You fucked my boyfriend! At first he couldn't stop talking about you, I perfectly fine with it but also fucking nerved! I thought it wasn't going to be more than that but I was wrong. He called me up one day and said it was over! I asked why and he told me he realized he loved you more but I suspected something more. You fucked him and weaned his affections from me to you! You harlot! Fucking man stealer!" Bonnie slapped Marceline in the face.

Marceline fell to the ground from the impact; she held her cheek burning with pain. She was about to get up but then Bonnie started to kick her; she called her a slut and a harlot over and over again. The people around them in the store started gasp and call security. Marceline curled up into a ball to protect herself but Bonnie's kicks were harder then she thought finally Bonnie grabbed Marceline's hair and pulled her to get up. Marceline cried out for help but everyone was too scared to even help her, Greg was in horror.

"Greg! Get over here right now!" Bonnie shouted.

Greg obediently went over there; Bonnie shoved Marceline's hair into his hands. He gripped onto her hair and forced her to get up more. Marceline had tears streaming down her cheeks, she could feel a few locks of her hair being pulled out of her scalp but that wasn't the worst of her problems. Bonnie grabbed a box of cake mix and started to hit Marceline in the head with it. Marceline cried out in pain, no one helped her. They all ran away and out of the store, the security came over right as Bonnie broke the box over her head and started pounding her face and punching her stomach and chest. The security grabbed Bonnie and Greg; Bonnie kicked and screamed while Greg tried to weasel his way out of this. Marceline was on the ground, crying and bloody from her beating.

Marceline was in a hospital bed, she finished having surgery due to Bonnie's beating. She broke her collar bone and two ribs along and shattered her cheek bone. They had to replace her cheek bone and most of her collar bone with metal plates, her ribs were re aligned and given bone transplants to bring them to the same position they were before. She was so frightened by what happened. She knew Bonnie had a temper but she never knew she would outright beat her in public. She heard the door open which snapped her out her thoughts, it was a nurse that came in with a clipboard.

"Okay Miss Abadeer, you seem to be fine and on your way to recovery. You just need to stay here for a few weeks at the most but in other words your fine." The nurse said as she wrote down on her clipboard.

Marceline sighed with relief, said she had to stay here for a while but she was going to be okay which the important thing was. She heard the door open again and saw a worried Finn, he rushed over to her and started to kiss her and ask her what happened. Marceline was happy he was worried about her, she may have stolen him from bonnie but she was lucky he loved her.

"Finn, I'm okay. I just need to stay here for a few weeks but I'm okay." Marceline tried to reassure him.

"But Marceline, it's not fair. Bonnie shouldn't have done this to you." Finn gritted his teeth.

"Finn, its fine. She had every right to be upset." Marceline sighed.

"No she didn't, she knew we weren't working out but instead of handling it like a mature woman and dropping it; she had to take it out on you. I thought she was better than this but I was wrong." Finn shook his head.

"Finn, please, it's okay. I pressed charges against her for public abuse and I filed for a restraining order against her." Marceline said.

Finn smiled and hugged her. "I'm glad for that, I'm sorry I didn't tell you of our break up and stuff, and I could have stopped this."

"It doesn't matter now, I have you and you still have me. That's all that matters." Marceline kissed him

They held it for a while until the nurse cleared her throat. They stopped and apologized. Finn kissed her one last time before the nurse started to chase him out, telling him that he can visit later in the evening. Marceline waved Finn bye before he was out of sight. The nurse smiled at Marceline.

"You got yourself a good man." She commented.

Marceline blushed and shrugged. "Yeah well, he's my hero."

The nurse chuckled before leaving Marceline alone in the room.
