Lost But Not Forgotten (Sequel to "A Strong Love")

TWELVE

[Short Chapter]

No no it couldn't have been her. She's gone.

But that voice.

Anyone can have a voice.

But it was her voice.

No she's- she's gone.

But it was her!

"NO IT WASN'T!"

..... I can't move from in front of the window. I can't help but to keep staring into the distance where sh- that person ran.

My mind keeps racing and there's no thoughts, it's just static and I don't know what to do.

My eyes trail to the corner of my eye where the closest is.

I finally move and walk towards the closet.

My old mattress, well half of it, is stuffed inside with a blanket.

Bending down I pick up the blanket and smell it and I everything stops~

It... It was her.

That's... That's her scent.

I fall to my knees grasping onto the blanket with my breathe caught in my throat .

Her scent...

Vanilla.

Lavender.

Rose petals.

Cherry blossom.

Chocolate.

Strawberries.

It's all... Her.

The room gets darker and I turn to the window to see the cave getting dark.

Looking around I look at the clock on the wall and read 9:45.

I get up and let the blanket drop as I walk to the window.

I have to find her. I have to know where she ran off to...

I fly off into the night sky and fly out the cave to head straight for the incoming stars.

I stop as soon as I reach clouds and I look back down searching for her.

I spot a dark figure rushing off towards Cake and Fiona's treehouse and I swoop down quickly to see Fiona.

"FIONA!"

She jumps and quickly turns towards me.

I go and float in front of her and she looks at me with surprise.

"Marshall... What are you doing he-"

"Where is she?"

She looks taken back by my words and she backs up a bit.

"Cake is in the house if that's what you mean..."

I let a big sigh out and land on my feet to look down at her.

"Where is Y/N Fiona?"

"She's not here Marshall, that's why you left! Because she went missing! BECAUSE YOU DIDN'T CARE ANYMORE! BECAUSE YOU ONLY CARED FOR HER WHEN YOU JUST FUCKING MET HER!"

"FIONA!"

"NO SHUT THE FUCK UP MARSHALL! I FUCKING LOVED YOU!"

I scoffed and rolled my eyes which made her slap me in my face.

I'll admit... It hurt but I guess I deserved it.

"I... I did love you... But I knew you just looked at me as a friend... A little sister..."

I look down at her and she looks down at her feet.

"Then when Y/n came along... I really noticed I had no chance."

I run my fingers through my hair and look up to the sky.

"Fiona... Everyone knows that you've been in love with Gumball for years. We were once a thing but now-"

"Now what? What we had was good... It was a secret but you know I was there for you when she left."

Fiona walk towards me and leans onto my chest.

"That one night... I meant what I said Y'know."

I hold her and kiss her head, "Yes I know bunny..."

She looks up to me and I look down to her.

"You were my first Marsh-"

"Fiona please... I know what we did and I wish it didn't happen."

She sniffles and buries her face in my chest. "I'm glad it happened..."
