Insanity

Warped Truth

Gumball's face had nothing but sheer horror, as he looked down at his phone. His fear was coming true.

Gumball: Penny wait it's not what it looks like I swear!

No answer.

Gumball: Penny?

The message was read, but no response was typed.

Gumball: Penny please answer.. I'm sorry..

Penny: Why?

Her new text was practically joyous to him, seeing she still bothered to answer. Though, it worried him. He knew why she texted the question. He couldn't think of anything to say.

Penny: Why did you do it again? What did those people ever do to you?

The cat didn't know how to answer that either. He had done it to reprimand those who wronged at first, but then it just.. Grew into silencing those that discovered. Was it even an excuse anymore? Why did he have to murder innocent people? He couldn't understand.

A new message appeared, but it was more terrible than the last. It broke his heart to see it.

Penny: Gumball I thought you changed. Why did you lie to me?

Gumball:...

He kept erasing and retyping his message, but.. He couldn't get it right. It hurt knowing how hurt his girlfriend felt right now, how scared she must be. He messed up so bad. How could he even fix this?

Penny: Can you just answer please?

Gumball: I don't know, I really don't! I can't explain why I did it! It's like something inside my head just told me to and I made up reasons to follow it I don't know!

Penny: I have to go.

Gumball: No wait Penny I'm sorry please don't leave!

Penny: I know. But I have to go. My dad just saw the news. About.. What you did.

No more messages appeared on his screen.

Gumball desperately held back his tears, but failed to do so, as they streamed down his face. For a moment all he could do was stare at his phone, feeling the utmost fear and heartbreak. He tried so hard, but he failed.

His eyes soon widened in horror, as a realization struck him. His family was going to discover what he did. The cat trembled, as he put his phone away in his pocket, standing up quickly from the bench. He had one chance to make this right. He could stop this. He could make everything okay again.

"Hey!"

The cat turned to see a police officer in the distance, pointing at him angrily. Panic filling his entire being, he quickly fled the area. He knew people were watching. How many of them had found out by now? The thought scared him.

He had to get home before any of his other loved ones could see anything.

Darwin was casually sitting down on the couch, watching whatever was on TV at the moment. He started to get bored however, as nothing seemed to be really happening. Anais was beside him, holding Daisy in her arms as she watched the program with him.

"Wanna see what else is on?" He asked, turning towards her.

She shrugged, not showing much care to the suggestion. If anything, she was just as bored as him. Darwin then changed the channel, landing on the news.

"Breaking news!"

Before he could switch off it, Anais quickly stopped him, her hands hovering over the remote. "Wait, this might be important!"
