Chapter 7: Shit I Think I'm In Love
Marshall Lee's P.O.V.
We were having fun even though the memory of Kyle was still fresh in our minds, but we decided to just enjoy each others company with the occasional visit from Simone I still can't believe she didn't tell me she knew Fi, sure there's patient/doctor confidentiality but still. And even though Fi is in therapy which means something totally screwy happened where she lived before and that dream, it must involve someone name Cake? Who names there kid Cake? But like Simone I'm not going to push her. We started going back to school the next Monday and everyone except Lsp and Gumball avoided us as usual, of course Ashley is still in the hospital or she has been on the down low since her beating from Fi, I swear that girl can really pack a punch.
"Marsh! Can you help me?" she called from the kitchen. We have been temporarily 'living' together for about two weeks since the Kyle incident and the only time we left was for me to perform and I still haven't heard her sing... yet and I had a lot of my stuff in her guest room it was almost like we were a couple, but I should consider it roommates.
"Sure hang on one minute." I called pulling on a pair of pants I had just gotten out of the shower
I went downstairs and into the kitchen and I saw her face turn red as she covered her hands with her hands.
"What do you need?" I asked
"C-can you p-please on a shirt?" She asked and I realized that I was still shirtless
"Oh sorry I didn't realize that I was still shirtless." I apologized my face red from embarrassment and dashed up the stairs
I pulled on a shirt and came back downstairs and saw that her face was still red.
"So did you like the view?" I joked trying to hide my embarrassment
"Yeah, No." she said her face getting super red it reminded me of a strawberry
I pouted "You sure?"
"Yes I'm sure." she said
"Okay then, now what did you need again?" I asked
She suddenly became very nervous and started picking at and imaginary string on the table cloth.
"Wouldyouliketomoveinwithmeandbemyroomate?" she speed through the words
"What?" I asked even though I think she asked me to move in permanently
"I mean we have practically living together for a while now and I was wondering if you would like to move in with me and be my roommate?" she said and then she stood up to flee
"Yes" I said hugging her so she couldn't escape
"Really!?" she asked excitedly
"If I said no do you think I would be hugging you right now?" I said
"Yay!" she started jumping up and down "We have to go and get the rest of your stuff and move it here and then we have to go and get stuff for your room..." she kept babbling on and on about plans for the house now that I was moving in
"Woah slow down I still need to tell my Mom and Simone." I said
"Okay I have an appointment with Simone today that will be super long since I skipped out on last weeks cause she came here so you can go tell your mom while I'm at the office." she said still jumping she was sure excited about this.
"Okay." I said
I dreaded seeing my mother let alone talk to her, but this was for Fi so it was totally worth it. We had a good hour or so till her appointment so I decided to call her to tell her I would be visiting today while Fionna wrote in her little blue book, she kept that super private and it even had a lock and she wore the key around her neck as to never lose it. I knew where she kept it but I respected her privacy so I left it alone.
"Hey Mom" I said into the phone
"Oh Marshie, you actually called me!" my mom gushed
"I just wanted to say that I was visiting today so be ready I'll be there in about an hour, I need to tell you something" I said
"Okay see you then Marshie" she said and I hung up
"Glad I got that part over with." I sighed I hated talking to her ever since she ate my fries I mean seriously, she finally takes me out to dinner to spend time with her and then I go and pay for my own fries because she is too busy talking on her phone to pay attention to me and then the second I leave she scarfs down the whole thing and then says she has to leave! I mean what the hell is that?
"It's for Fi, it's for Fi..." I kept telling myself and I decided to go and get ready for my mom
Fionna's P.O.V.
I knew Marshall Lee and his mom don't have a great relationship and so I knew it took a lot for him to see her. I felt pretty guilty about it so I decided that I should write it in my book, I've been writing in it a lot and I decided that I should bring it with me to the session. I started writing in it again.
Today is September 7, 2012, it has been exactly two weeks since I got this book
Hello again you know how I was planning on asking Marshall Lee to move in? He said yes! I'm so happy that he's going to be moving in now even though he's been 'living' here since the Kyle incident. It's been a long time since Kyle came back but in the mail I got a court summons, it was for Kyle's trial I would finally have to tell my story. I have to go back to the town I was in before and go to the trial for what Kyle did to her. I still can't write her name or even say it without bursting into tears. I hate him so much why did he have to do this to me? All because I refused to do something. I hate him with all of my existence. Anyways I feel guilty right now because Marshall Lee hates his mom and now he has to go see her to tell her that he's moving in with me. I wonder if Simone will approve of this I mean he makes me really happy so why wouldn't she. Every time I see him I feel all weird inside and when he hugs me I feel like I'm going to collapse. Today when I saw him shirtless I almost died, he is really hot and he has a six pack! He is a sexy rock star! Anyways back to this other worry I have, what if I'm falling for my best friend? It is not good if that happens if he doesn't feel the same way then I will have screwed up our bro-ship* forever. I mean we play video games and watch movies every night and we go and explore together on the weekends we are true bro's it would be wrong to mess that up. Anyways it's almost time for the appointment so I better get going...
I closed the book and packed it up in my little green back pack and dashed down the stairs right in to Marshall Lee.
"Ow sorry bro." I said blushing and rubbing my head
"No problem I was just going up to tell you that I was leaving." he said also rubbing his head we both sat up and I noticed the small amount of space between our faces and lips.
"Well bye then." I said standing up abruptly
"Yeah say hi to Simone for me." he said still on the floor
"Got it." I dashed out of the house and ran all the way to the office.
When I got there I just went passed the secretary I knew where I was going. I replayed the events in my head. I wanted to kiss him but that would make things weird, but he looked the same way. No Fionna it's just your imagination. I finally reached Simone's office and I knocked on the door and went inside.
"Hey Simone, Marsh says hi." I said sitting down
"Good afternoon Fionna. So when do you think Marshall will be ready to go home he's been there for a couple weeks correct?" she asked and I turned bright red
"Well I asked him to move in with me." I said sheepishly
"Oh that's great! Does that mean you two are finally dating?" she asked hopefully
"No we aren't dating, I don't think he thinks of me as something other than a bro and a roomie." I said but I couldn't keep the disappointment out of my tone. It's not like I'm falling for him, am I? No I can't like Marshall Lee he's my bro!
"Oh honey, if you only knew. Anyways did you bring your book?" she asked her cheerful attitude returning
"You bet I did." I responded
"Good, now I think you should read it over again and maybe you'll realize something." she winked at me and I blushed deep red and I started re-reading
Today is August 23, 2012
Today I had an amazing day but that quickly changed in to a nightmare...
I have just come back from the most amazing concert ever, there I met Marshall Lee's friends and they are amazing I absolutely love Marceline she is like the girl version of Marsh! She and I are going to be great friends I just know it, then there is Bonnie, I love the whole pink steam punk thing she has going on but I didn't think she liked me that much, and lastly there are Finn and Jake. Those two are scared to death of me because I took down seven buff dudes before the concert and because of the videos of my beating up Ashley, Glob I hate her so much. Anyways they sang so well and I was tempted to sing but I suck and I haven't sang since Cake,
I saw the tear stains on the page near where her name was I felt like I was dying inside whenever I remember her.
On the way home Marshall decided to tag along since he was going the same way as me anyways and he was begging to hear me sing. I finally gave in and said that I would when I got home. We were laughing and messing around and we finally reached the door and when I opened it I got the surprise of my life. He was there, in my house, how did he even get in?
"Long time no see Fionna. Missed me?" he said in his voice that struck me cold with fear
I couldn't believe he was back and I had never been so happy that I let Marshall Lee come home with me, thank Glob he talked me into singing for him. I felt Marshall pull me back and he made a move to protect me? I couldn't believe him he didn't know who Kyle was but he understood that he scared the shit out of me and tried to help. Soon he seemed to know what to do. He pushed me out the door and told me to go to to his house and call the police. I ran as fast as I could and called the police as soon as I knew for sure that they were coming I ran back to my house to find my ex unconscious and Marsh sustaining a lot of injuries. I felt my heart break in two when I saw that Marshall was bleeding. I had to help him, as I was cleaning him up he asked how I learned to treat wounds so well and I admitted that Kyle had abused me when we were still dating. The look Marshall Lee shot Kyle was one of pure hate and I knew that he wanted to kill him for hurting me but he held back. Finally the police came and took the now conscious Kyle away and he was yelling curses at us and he threatened to find me and kill Marshall. I was so scared, tonight Marshall is staying with me, and I had the most terrible dream it wasn't just a dream it was a memory. The memory of what happened to Cake,
I saw that some of the words were blurred because of the tears and I felt fresh ones prick my eyes.
I woke up to Marshall Lee holding me close and I cried myself to sleep in his arms and I felt something I hadn't felt in a long time: Safety and comfort. It felt good and I knew I could trust my best friend with my life.
I looked up at Simone she was just staring at me and motioned for me to continue.
"I don't know what your reading but I think you should keep reading it." she nudged me
"Okay" I took a deep breath and read the next entry
Today is August 24, 2012
I woke up around noon and Marshall Lee is still here I thought that he would leave this morning but he insisted that he stay until he deemed that I was okay. Truthfully I didn't want him to leave anyway, but I would never let him know that. We spent the whole day watching movies and playing video games until Simone came in and showed us that now the whole town knew what had happened last night and I was a little scared about everyone knowing my biz but whats done is done I can't change that. After Simone left I went upstairs to go change and get new bandages for Marsh, but when I went downstairs I didn't see him anywhere. I looked everywhere for him and I finally gave up and sighed in defeat then I felt someone pick me up from behind I squealed in surprise and when I saw it was just Marshall I quickly got over my fright and punched him in his uninjured cheek and laughed
"Ahh! Ma cheek meat!" he screamed out holding his cheek and u fell rolling on the ground laughing my ass off.
"That's what you get for scaring me" I said after I had calmed down "And I need to change your bandages before they get infected." I pointed to the couch for him to sit and he complied
The day was filled with both of us trying to out prank each other. I feel as though everyday we get closer.
I felt a giggle escape from my lips as I remembered that day. Marshall is really an interesting house guest or roommate now. Simone raised an eyebrow but looked away quickly.
The entries for those few days off we had were basically describing the intricate pranks we played on each other until we got to the first day we went back to school.
Today is August 29, 2012
Today is our first day back at school and we decided to walk instead of riding the because we knew Gumwad would be on it and he would make a scene so we just walked to school chatting and he reminded me that I still needed to sing for him and I just rolled my eyes. I won't be singing for a while and I know I can stall for as long as I need. When we got to school we were right Gummy Buns here made a scene,
"FIONNA!" we turned around groaning as Gumball glomped me in a hug. His hugs were different from Marshall's, they were completely one sided and surprisingly they smelled sweet. Weird
"Hey Gumwad! If you are done suffocating Fi, we need to get to class and you need to lay off don't you remember what we told you last week." he had a malicious gleam in his eyes and Gumball backed off
"Yeah Bubba seriously you can't have forgotten so soon and plus I don't like hugs." I said and added 'well your hugs anyways' in my head
"Oh I'm sorry Fi." Marsh and I just stared at him.
"Only Marsh can call me 'Fi' got it." I said when he said Marsh's nickname for me it just didn't sound right.
"Okay Fionna." he said and walked away sadly
Throughout the day we stayed together as much as possible and there was no sign of Ashley, she must still be in the hospital. Her injuries weren't that bad but she wanted to be as dramatic as possible and had herself checked into a hospital. It didn't really work in her favor because now everyone knows that the big tough girl Ashley landed in the hospital after losing a fight she started with a lowly sophomore. Marshall the band and I still laugh about that. Other than that the day went pretty normal people looking at Marsh and I weirdly and us sitting alone while people coward in fear of the 'Vampire King' and the 'bad-ass bunny' as some people called me. I thought the nick name was awesome and so did the band. I can't wait till the next performance
I burst into laughter remembering the scene. Gummy Buns clutching on to me wailing about how worried he was and Marshall looked ready to clock him and the face while all Gumballs fan girls glared at me and me standing awkwardly trying to pry him off of me. Simone looked concerned now
"Fionna is something wrong?" she asked puzzled
"No nothing is wrong just read something that triggered a funny memory." I said wiping tears of joy from my eyes
She simply nodded and went back to observing me and I moved onto the next entry.
Today is August 30, 2012
The Ice King and Lemon-grab were being super annoying today. Lemon-grab gave almost everyone detention and this is him
"THREE HOURS DETENT-IIIIIIIOOOOOOOONNNNNNNNNN" he always screamed in a super annoying voice and always dragged out the last syllables in a scream. I just rolled my eyes at the poor kid who had upset the teacher
I went to Ice Kings class next. I hated his class he's always checking out the chicks and Bonnie told me that he quit his job at her school because he wanted a change of scenery and that he always checked her out. He was so creepy and old he shouldn't even be teaching anymore he could have a heart attack and die at the age he was at. I caught him checking me out and I heard Lsp yell
"Oh ma Glob! The Ice King is totally checking out my lumps!" she exclaimed and Ice King turned to her
"Lsp no one wants to check out your 'lumps'." and turned to another girl who was to busy talking to notice his ice cold stare. And Lsp just flipped him off behind him back for saying that about her lumps.
It seemed like an eternity before school ended and I could see Marshall again. I don't know why I wanted to see him so badly I just did. When I got home I found him in the kitchen scarfing down all our strawberries. I just giggled when he realized I was there and his face was stuffed with the little red fruits. He looked like an emo chipmunk, still super cute.
I was looking at the book in shock as I skimmed through the rest of the entries, all of them had something to do with Marshall Lee. There were subtle hints of feelings for him in those words and I realized something.
"I see you figured it out." I heard Simone say smirking at me
I simply nodded my head, my brain was still spinning from the sudden realization.
"I-I'm in love, with Marshall Lee. My best friend." I said still dazed
I saw her beam a smile at me
"Shit"
Marshall Lee's P.O.V.
I stayed on the floor still paralyzed at the thought of what almost happened I almost kissed Fi. When I finally got up I dashed to my moms I only had ten minutes to get there and if I wasn't on time she was going to kill me.
I got there in record time and knocked on the door.
"MAR-MAR!" I heard my mother squeal before she glomped me in a hug
"Mom I need to talk to you. And to do that I need a way of getting oxygen." I said with what air I could muster
"Sorry it's just that you never visit and I miss you. Why do you have to keep hanging out with those mortals?" she said pouting but she let me go
"I only visit if it's important and please stop calling people you are not as rich as you 'mortals' when people hear you say that they start to believe that we really are vampires which we aren't. You do know the kids at school still call me the 'vampire king'." I said she came to school when I was in kindergarten and said "All you mortals treat Marshall Lee nicely, he might bite." leaving everyone to think that we were a family of vampires.
"Never. And what did you want to talk about?" she asked sipping tea that just appeared out of no where
"I'm moving in with her." I said calmly as she did a spit take
"Your WHAT!" she yelled
"Fionna asked me to move with her and I accepted." I said ignoring the dirty looks she gave me
"And why in AAA would you want to live with that mortal?" she was seething
"Because she is my bestfriend and she makes me happy." I was still remaining calm "Why are you flipping out about this?" I was curious
"Because you almost got killed defending her from he ex who is a lunatic! And I have never met her!" she said
"Simone likes her and she knows her almost as well as I do, since she's her therapist and such." I was starting to get riled up she just had to play the lunatic card
"So Simone gets to meet her before me, and she needs a therapist that means she's crazy." she said
"Yes and she only needs a therapist because of what happened before she came her, and I promised myself that I wouldn't let anything bad happen to her anymore she has been through enough!" I yelled I can't believe she's assuming Fi was crazy. Just because you need therapy doesn't mean that you are cray-cray/
"You like this girl don't you." she said with a smirk
"No I don't," I said and that was the truth, I saw she looked a little... disappointed? "I love her." I smiled and walked out the door leaving my mom dumbstruck and walked home a smile on my face.
Fionna's P.O.V.
I walked back from Simone's place my head buzzing I was in love with Marshall Lee, and I had no idea what to do.
~ Flashy Back ~
"Simone what do I do?" I moaned leaning back onto the couch in defeat covering my face with my hands
"That's totally up to you" she smiled slyly
"I thought I asked you and your leaving it up to me. Thank Simone your too kind" sarcasm laced those last words
"Well I think that you should tell him." she said seriously
"No way not an option, I just asked the dude to move in, I'm not gonna confess my feelings to him literal hours after asking a big question!" I sat back down after realizing that I was pacing.
"Thank Glob you stopped I thought I was going to have to get another carpet in here." she joked "And you don't have to tell him right now."
"Fine but I think that I'm gonna be on the down low about this 'Kay." I said walking out of the office
~ End Flashy Back ~
I was totally confused about what to do. Then I saw Marsh walking towards the house as well but in another direction. I ran to him.
"So how did see take it." I asked
"Great" he was lying through his teeth
"Liar." I said
"You caught me she flipped but I let her know and that's good enough." he smirked at me and I swear I felt my heart melt.
"She'll get over it." I said and we walked back to the house together
Heather Abadeer's P.O.V.
"I was disappointed to hear that Mar-Mar didn't have romantic feelings towards this Fionna girl and then he hit me with it. He said that he LOVED her!" I yelled into the phone "Yes he said the L-word"
I was so happy that my son had finally found someone and that he was happy with that person. I heard a squeal on the other end from my best friend Simone Petrikov. I felt terrible for acting like I didn't like I didn't approve his decision but I needed to do that or he might have changed his mind, that boy always does the opposite of what I want.
"She loves him too! Isn't this great?!" Simone was like a hyper-active puppy and so was I
"EEEEEEE! I feel like I'm a teenager again with all this gossip and junk. Not only has he finally fallen in love, she loves him back!" I said squealing
"Heather, I don't have anymore appointments today so get your ass over here so we can squeal and jump around together" she said only half joking
"You bet your fashionable ass I'll be there!" I said hanging up and driving over there
Author's Note: Next chapter is gonna be dramatic, I think, I don't know anymore anyways I love you peoples reviews some of the make me laugh and some of them make me feel happy. Love you all.
