One last time. Then he'd be done for good. Marshall Lee Abadeer would be nothing but a sore spot in his heart, a lesson learned, and a bittersweet memory. He'd forget about him once and for all. He just needed to see him one last time.
Jawbreaker slumped into his bed and exhaled loudly. This is crazy, isn't it? Is this a bad idea? His mind reeled with possibilities of Marshall seeing him and wanting him back, seeing him all punked out for once. He shook his head, trying to rid all thoughts of Marshall Lee.
Peppermint Maid knocked lightly on his door before entering with caution.
"Yes? Is everything alright, Peppermint Maid?"
"Are you alright, Master Gum- I mean... Jawbreaker?" She asked, walking over to him.
"I will be," He stated, flashing her a broken smile.
"I know you loved him... and probably still do... but for your people, you need to straighten up. Get back to the Gumball we all know and love. The prim and proper prince that tells them what to do without questioning his own authority. The prince that doesn't fall apart over a... a... a monster like Marshall Lee!" She said, her emotions coming out harsh and brutal.
She composed herself, sighing, "I'm sorry, I just hate the way he left you high and dry like that. I knew he'd be no good for you."
"I really love him, Peppermint..." He said, showing a now rare side to him. It had been so long since Gumball had expressed emotion, he kept everything bottled deep inside now that he was "Jawbreaker." He raked his fingers through his blue hair and took in a deep breath, keeping himself steady.
"I'm going to see him one last time and then things will go back to the way things used to be... okay? I promise."
Peppermint Maid sighed again, "I trust you, but I don't think things will ever be the same again..."
With that, she turned on her heels and left the room, shutting the door tightly behind her.
Gumball sat down and started writing his song for the concert he'd be performing in... only a few days left to get something down pat.
