Marshall Lee POV:
I should have told him earlier. It would have made things loads easier. "Marshall? Are you ok?" Says Gumball, a look of worry on his face.
"Yeah! I'm fine! Perfectly fine." My voice is too high strained. I sit up and my legs slide over the edge of the bed. I have to tell him. If I don't tell him now, it will be much worse later. Gumball slides off the bed and sits down on the floor. "Marshall, look at me." I shift my head and look him in the eyes. It's too much for me to handle. I look away.
"Marshall just tell me already. I can tell something is wrong." I put my head in my hands and rest my elbows on my legs. I clench my teeth and exhale. "I'm leaving tomorrow." I say. "What? Why!" I can tell Gumball is upset, but I keep looking down.
"My mum contacted me...since I'm the vampire king, she thinks I should go back to the nightosphere, resume my place. Rule..." I look up briefly and see Gumball staring at me, mouth hanging open.
"How...how long have you kept this from me?" He whispers. I scratch the back of my neck. "About a month...I said yes because i figured you wouldn't care, since we weren't exactly on good terms." Gumball looks away and whispers quietly, "I only just got you back, and now I'm loosing you again." God, I hate myself right now. And my mother. Why can't I just live a happy life with him, why do i keep messing things up? "I know, I'm sorry." I say, leaning forward and wrapping my arms around him. "You will come back, right?" I wish I could say yes, I wish I could tell him that I would visit every week, but I can't. I sigh and shake my head.
"I don't know. I really don't." I grip him tighter.
"But no matter what, I'll always love you." Gumball turns his head and places a soft kiss on my cheek.
"And I'll be waiting right here, in case you do come back." I smile a little. "Alright." Silence fills the room, but I'm ok with that. I don't want to ruin what will probably be my last day here. "Marshall?" He says.
"Mhm?" "Can you just, stay here? Until tomorrow?" He asks. A smile creeps onto my lips.
"What did you think I planned on doing?"
