happen in the next couple of chapters. So loyal fans of stripper here it is.
(Gumball's POV)
She felt so weak in my grasp. It was frightening how small she seem now.
Carrie seems to cling to me as soon as she got out of the nurse's bed. Her body seems to be fading more and more every day. I notice on the night where I saw her dancing she look so much thinner than usual and even then she seem not to be all there.
Her head press against my chest as we walk down the sidewalk. I don't think she be able to stand going through the bus again.
I couldn't help but think back to all the days we spent together having fun back in middle school. She seems to smile more back then. Which is something that one couldn't say lightly she also seem not to be as see through as she is now. Almost like if at any moment she just fade away forever. When the thought cross my mind instinctual I felt my hand around her shoulder tightens bring her closer.
After a bit I found myself walking down my street as my house seem to be coming up ahead.
"Finally you can rest" I spoke down to her.
I went inside and glance around. I heard Darwin upstairs and he seems to be talking to someone. Most likely he was on the phone with his girlfriend trying to sort a few things out. I saw Anais's and Lexy's bags were put near the door as they were also in their rooms doing something. But to be fair I truly didn't care at the moment.
I slowly walk over to the couch that was luckily vacant as I lay her on it and put a blanket around her that she instantly to snuggle into. I watch her lay there soon the emotion I originally felt which would be worry and regrets soon turn sour and felt like a cold flame in my chest. This emotion was not directed at her but at someone else.
The man who put me in the hospital and as tormented my Carrie for months on end. I saw a imagine flash through my mind an image of that monster standing there with his two minions right next to him. I slowly reach down and began to stroke her hair feeling the odd sensation of her ghostly hair strands move as I pet her. They were cold of course but also I could touch it yet it felt almost like petting dry water. Her breath was soft and a bit shallow but I think she will be ok. Well better in her dream land then in the nightmare she knows as reality.
My hand left her hair and trail down touching her soft cheek. It was pale as usual like snow and yet again it was cold. I had to be gentle because if I was too hard I might have phase right through her. I began to wonder how many times that fiend struck her across this almost flawless face.
Then my hand found itself to her lips as my index finger slowly traces her lips. Her soft, delicate, cold... tempting... lips. My head automatically began to move down as my eyes shut slowly. I couldn't control myself every part of me was telling me to do this. To steal just but one kiss of the maidens lips.
KNOCK, KNOCK, KNOCK
I perk up quickly as I regain control of my body as I look down at Carrie still napping as I felt the blush rush to my cheeks as I stare almost in horror at what was happening there.
"Crap" I mutter but I look up as I heard more banging at my front door.
"GUMBALL CAN YOU..."
"YEAH I GOT IT ANAIS" I got up as I stole another look at Carrie seeing she twitch a bit. I guess she didn't appreciate us yelling but she stayed sleeping. With a sigh I got up from my spot and move towards the door.
I took the door knob as I swung the door open. It occurred to me just then I could have been opening the door on a guy who wanted me dead.
"Hello student unit Gumball." A very monotone robotic voice rang out.
