So guys, I'm loving the fact that you love this story, but please, no fighting in the comments.
Also, sorry about the late update, I'll try to be better about that.
With that, I give you the newest chapter, enjoy.

So, do you want to see what's been happening to Marceline? Of course you do, now come with me.
Here we see in the Abadeer living room, Marceline walking around with Ash sitting on the couch.
"Hurry the fuck up, Mar-Mar! I'm starving!" Ash calls out to her.
"I'm coming, Ash!" she calls back out to him.
"How long does it take to make a sandwich, it's not like you do a good job anyway," he says, as his anger grows.
"I'm sorry, Ash. Here you go," she says as she hands him the plate.
"Finally," he says as he snatches the plate from her.

Now, I bet you're wondering why Marceline is putting up with this? And, where is her father? Well, I'll tell you. Ash convinced her father to move out. He said he would call the police on him if he didn't. Ash then moved in. Marceline was blinded by "love" and was very grateful to Ash. Now, she does everything Ash tells her because, he did save her after all.
Now back to the story.

"Ash?" Marceline asked softly as she sat down next to the white haired boy.
"What is it Mar-Mar?" he asked.
"Why can't I hang out with Finn and Fionna anymore?" she asked.
Ash sat up, "Babe, we've been over this. I can't have my girl hanging out with a bunch of retarded losers. Why don't you understand that?"
"Well, they've been my friends forever. They were there for me when times were hardest and..."
"And now you have me. God, am I not enough? After everything I've done for you? You know I'm only doing what's best for you," Ash spat back at her.
"I know, I'm sorry," Marceline said as her head fell down slowly.
Ash smiled at her, "It's ok, Mar-Mar. I just hate it when you ask stupid questions, that's all."

Marshall Lee did something he never thought he would do. He saw Finn and Fionna talking and walked up to them.
"Hey guys," he said.
Finn and Fionna looked at him.
"Um, hey?" Finn said.
"So, what's been up with Marceline?" Marshall asked.
"Why does it matter to you?" Finn asked. He knew who Marshall was and what he did to girls, and Marceline was his best friend, he didn't want her to get hurt.
"I'm convinced she under some kind of spell. It's the only way Marcy would let some guy treat her the way Ash does," Fionna said.
"Fi!" Finn said as he slapped her arm, "Team meeting," he said and pulled her away.
"What?" she asked.
"Why should we tell Marshall anything?" Finn asked her in a whisper yell.
"Because, I honestly believe in him and Marceline being together," Fionna said.
"What? He's such a jerk! How can you see Marcy with someone like him?" Finn asked.
"I don't know! I just can! And we need him to help pull Marcy out of whatever world she's living in right now!"
"Fine, whatever you say," Finn said as he gave up.
"That's what I thought," Fionna said as she kissed Finn on the check and skipped away back to Marshall.
Finn stood there for a moment and touched his check. He suddenly realized that Fionna had walked away and went after her.

"Marshall, we need you to get Marcy to fall in love with you," Fionna said.
Marshall looked at her and said, "What do you think I've been trying to do for all this time!"
"No, but now you have us, we can help you. We all know that Ash is no good for her, he won't even let her talk to us anymore, so we need you. We know what she wants in a guy, you're basically it. Now, do you want Marceline or not?" Fionna asked him as she pulled him by his shirt collar.
"Yes," he breathed, "I want her."
"Ok then, listen, and listen close, 'cause this is gonna take a while," Fionna said as she let go of his collar and ran off.
Marshall and Finn looked at each other.
Finn shrugged his shoulders.
"Let's go then," Marshall said as he and Finn ran after Fionna, wondering what the blonde girl was up to now.

Marceline and Ash arrived at school and Ash kissed her head. "Remember," he said, "don't even fucking look at those losers ok?"
Marceline gave a sad smile and said, "Yeah, I know, I got it."
"Ok, I'll see you later," Ash said as he turned and walked away, leaving Marceline alone by herself.
She stood there. She watched him walk away. She began to think about the things that had recently happened to her. As she began to think more and more, she broke down. The girl who never let anyone ever see her weakness, broke down. She started yelling and punching things. Her eyes were wet and the objects in front of her were a blur.
She felt someone run up to her and grabbing her harshly by her shoulders.
"Marcy," the person said, "Marceline, chill."
She collapsed onto the body of the other person and just began to cry. She cried for all the times she had never allowed herself to. She cried for her mother, she cried for her father, she cried for the life she never had. She cried because she knew she was weak. All the while, the mystery person just stood there, holding her, rubbing her back, whispering words in her ears, calming her down. She was letting this person see her at her weakest, when all she'd ever felt was numb, all of her emotions came rushing back as she just stood there in the middle of the hallway and leaned on another person. She had always told herself she never needed anyone, but at this moment she didn't care.
After a long time, she pulled away from the person and looked to see who it was.
"Marshall?" she asked.
"Hey, Marcy," he said.
"I need to get out of here," she said as she began to walk away.
"Let me take you!" he called after her as he began to run toward her.
"No, just go away! Leave me alone!" she said as she turned around to face him.
"No."
"No?"
"NO."
"Why not? Can't you see I don't want or need you around?" she asked.
"You don't need me?" he questioned.
"Yeah, that's right," she said as she began to open the door and walk out of the building.
"Then what the hell was that back there?" he asked.
"I didn't know who was holding me ok? I had a breakdown. Everyone can have one once in a while," she said as she walked out.
He followed her, "So it matters that the only person who was there for you was me? Really? Do you hate me that much?"
"I don't know how I feel! I keep everything inside me and I don't really know what feelings are!" she said.
"Can we at least agree on one thing?" he asked her.
"What?" she asked coldly.
"Ash is no good for you," he said.
"No, he protects me, he saved me," Marceline said as she lowered her voice.
"What did he save you from?" Marshall asked her as he walked closer to her.
"From my dad," she said barely above a whisper.
"Anyone could have done that. Marcy, I think you're just with him because you feel you owe him something. Sure, you might, but not this. You need your friends, you need your life, you need to choose what happens in your life. You can't let someone control you Marceline, you're better than that," he said as he lifted her head.
"Do you really believe that?" she asked him as her brown eyes grew in hope.
"Yes, I honestly do," he said as he leaned his head down closer to hers.
Suddenly she pushed him away.
"What the hell?" he asked.
"You're just saying that, you and I both know that all you want to do is get into my pants, but news flash Marshall, I'm different, I won't fall for that!" Marceline said as she began to walk away.
"We're so much alike! How can you hate me so much! I'm not your dad, Marceline! I'm not Ash either! I won't isolate you!" he said.
She turned around to face him and after a moment she sighed and said, "Because, Marshall, you're a player and I just don't want anymore pain in my life."
"And staying with Ash is helping that?" he asked her.
"No, I don't know, all I know is that, I can't take that chance with you, I know that I'd be waiting for you to find someone new and better the whole time," she said.
"What if I changed for you?" he asked.
She regained her courage and said, "I'd love to see you try," as she walked away. She would do what she should have done a while ago and break up with Ash. She knew she didn't need him. She had been through so much in her life and she didn't need a guy like Marshall Lee…did she?

He stood by and watched her walk away. He would prove to her he would do anything for her. He's looked a long time for someone like her, and he wanted a challenge, he didn't want an easy girl anymore, he just wanted her, and it terrified him, but he was willing to change for the one and only, Marceline Abadeer.

Oh sweet catastrophe, where have you been? I've looked for you so desperately, inside this pen.
