The Perks of Being Gumball (gumlee)

Phone Calls

As I walked into the house, I checked my phone and saw the massive amounts of messages. I didn't really want to talk to anybody. Minty and Pepper hadn't been in the best mood with me as they thought I should have told them about me not being able to sleep. If I really told them though they would freak out, I would be back to the way I was. Everything would go down the drain again and I would ruin everyone's lives.
I didn't want to do that, I didn't want to hurt anyone this time. As much as I hated moving to be completely honest it was a good idea, I had a chance to restart. Yet here I was ruining it again.
Without really thinking I walked up to my room, threw my bag down and lay down on my bed. My eye wished so badly to close, but knew I couldn't, I couldn't sleep. I wanted to so badly, but I couldn't. Sighing gently I picked up my phone and began messaging everyone back saying that I was okay and I was gonna try and get some sleep and not to expect any messages back.
It worked for a little bit, no one messaged me and I got to just stare at my ceiling but suddenly my phone began to ring. I lifted it off the table and checked who was calling me. Surprisingly it was Marshall, I was expecting Bubblegum or Fiona, maybe even Cake but not him. So I answered, begrudgingly, but I still answered.
"Marshall, what up? Why are you calling me?" I asked as I sat up and crossed my legs. There was a sigh on the other end of the line and for a moment I ought it had been an accident that he had called me and was about to hang up when he finally answered me back.
"I just wanted to see how you were without you lying through messages" he seemed deflated. Not the usual Marshall who talked to me with sarcasm dripping from his voice.
"I'm alright so I am, just tired. How about you? You seem deflated" I pointed out hoping to change the subject from me to him. He chuckled before sighing again.
"It's nothing, just I was talking to my old friend Ashley earlier, the blonde girl you saw, yeah. She's got a boyfriend again and was asking how I was doing in my dating life, but at the minute I don't really have one" he spoke quietly, must be because he's more than likely skipping class in the bathrooms.
"You can come over and talk to me about it later if you want, I may pass out on your lap though" I laughed dryly. I could almost hear him smiling on the other end of the call which in turn made me smile. He was suppressing a laugh and I could tell.
"Alright, I will, and I don't care if you do, as long as you actually get some sleep" he said, with the sound of other boys shuffling around in the background. We continued talking for about another ten minutes before the bell rang and I sighed.
"Marsh, you need to get back to class okay? Be here when ever you want, sure I could even message Bubblegum and ask her to give you a lift up with her" I suggested and I heard a rustle of fabric on the other end, which I took as him nodding.
"Alright Gumball, you do that. I hope your sister doesn't murder me in the car though" I laugh at his response.
It took a couple more minutes for us actually to get out our goodbyes and to hang up the call so he could go back to class. Once we did though I fell back on my bed grinning like a Cheshire Cat. My heart was running a million miles an hour in my chest as I text Bonnie hoping she would be alright with it, well know her she wouldn't but would do it anyways for my sake.
After a couple minutes of quiet I decided to actually go and write another letter.
Dear Friend
Things are like a roller coaster, I passed out today in school and had an outlash at myself, but I think I'm gonna actually be able to sleep. Marshall is also gonna call over after school to see me, he's amazing and has always been a great help. I also found out that the blonde girl who made me snap is actually an old friend of his. I also met Marceline, she's Marshall's cousin and as far as I can see Bonnie's best friend. Maybe just maybe things are actually looking up for me. Maybe I will be able to get over these nightmares and all my old thoughts and make a new pathway for myself.
I smiled as I set my pencil down and placed the paper in my drawer. It was true, things though they have been going doing, seem to be looking up.
With that happy thought in my mind, I lay down on my bed and pulled the covers up around my body, letting my eyes slip closed. Hoping to get a little bit of good sleep before Marshall and Bonnie came in. Because I have things to talk to him about and things to thing about.
Sleep slowly took over me and I slipped into a pleasant dreamless sleep for the first time in what seemed like forever.
((Hey guys, hope you're enjoying this. I really have only one idea of how this is gonna end, but in still not sure how it's gonna get there, so let's see where this takes us))
