lot of school and I'm on my senior year so a good part of my life was school and work but here it is the next installment of Stripper and trust me we got some building up for the next chapter.
(No one's POV)
"... He did what to you guys?" Gumball eyes were lock with his brother. Gumball sat there and listen to the enter story of the event of... that night.
All the horrors they face while all he did was nap in some slightly uncomfortable hospital bed. He drag them into this mess and because of him they all suffer for his actions. He felt the fuel of hate fill his stomach for himself as he blame himself for the actions of those evil men. But... but if he didn't do this and put everyone at risk then... Carrie.
Then Carrie would have still been in that situation as a slave to those monsters.
"Gumball... are you ok?" Darwin asks as he touches his brother's shoulder but it was quickly yank free as Gumball stood knocking over the chair he was sitting on over.
"WHAT DO YOU MEAN AM I ALIGHT?!" He pants in anger as Darwin took a step back in shock. "I WASN'T THE ONE FORCE TO THAT PLACE AT GUN POINT... BECAUSE OF ME YOU GUYS COULD HAVE BEEN KILLED!" Gumball screeches at his brother. Darwin only stood there and took the yelling and some of the spit that came out of his mouth as he screams.
Darwin wanted to say something back, heck he almost felt like he needed to he has been through a lot in the past week... but at the same time. Gumball is his brother someone who he looks up too. There he is blaming himself and hating himself for what? Events he couldn't control, stuff that he choose to do because he believed it was the right thing to do.
"Gumball please..." Darwin began but is instantly cut off by Gumball.
"YOU WERE ALMOST KILLED AND LEXY... my god..." He looks off in the distance to only imagine the pain his sister was going through.
'What if Anais was with them... or Dad how could they have handled all that... all because...' Gumball thought before he slight barely past a whisper. "All because of me."
"Gumball please I..." Darwin yet again was cut off.
"You were all hurt because of..."
"GUMBALL SHUT UP!" Gumball teary eyed looks up staring at his adoptive brother with the look of shock at one of Darwin's rare outburst. Darwin stood there for a second panting trying to catch his breath after that and looked at his brother as all the rage disappears and began to start to tear up.
"Please... don't blame yourself... it wasn't your fault, don't blame yourself for the actions of those cruel men." He slowly walk up to his brother and put's his hands on his shoulders again and this time Gumball didn't violently shove them away. "Yes we were in danger... I'm not going to lie to you but, don't blame yourself you were and still are trying to help someone who needs someone there for her... and yes we were in danger but you're not at fault for that... remember that... we all love you."
They stare at each other for a bit. Gumball after everything that had happen to him this week finally began to break down and cry. His brother just slowly put him in a hug and let him cry into his shoulders.
Darwin could only imagine the internal conflict that was blasting through Gumball's mind right now and choose not to think on it. His brother needed him... he needed this.
The door to their room open up abortively as their little sister Anais came in angrily. "Darwin, Gumball can you two keep it..." Anais stop seeing a weeping Gumball holding Darwin as Darwin gave her the 'GTFO' look. "Oh..." Anais closes the door.
However the brothers little 'discussion' didn't go unheard by the residents that were down stairs. Most were just simply waiting sitting down.
Carrie sat on the couch twiddling her fingers worried. Those two almost never fought and when they did it almost never ended well.
