Bitter Sweet Tragedy

Feelings

3rd POV

"Marshall can we talk?" Bubblegum asked as Marshall was about to leave the room. "Yeah sure." He responding as he continued to pick up guitar. Bubblegum then thanked the doctors and took Marshall's hand exiting the room towards the royal garden. Bubblegum didn't truly know why she took them there to talk it just felt right to her. Marshall on the other hand knew were this was leading so he tried his best to just go along with it.

When they reached the garden Bubblegum let go of Marshall's hand "Why were you in my brother's recovery room." She asked not facing him, Marshall with a quick lie simply said "I couldn't see how my old friend is doing?" with a smirk. "I told you to stay outside his room," Bubblegum sternly stated slowly starting to face him "So I'm going to ask you again Marshall why you in brothers room?" Marshall started to think of another short quick lie but Bubblegum took his cold hands into her warm hands "The truth Marshall?" asked from him with the most pitiful face. Marshall sighed and smirked "Look I was just there saying-""You were saying your finally good-byes?!" Bubblegum shouted letting go his hands she was tearing up. "No Bu-""His not dying Marshall the Doctor said that his going to be fine!" she sobbed cutting him off again. Marshall tried to hug her but when he approached her close she slapped him across the face "Bubblegum let me explain!" he winced in pain. Bubblegum soon calmed down but kept her distance from him "I don't think nor did I say that Gumball was going to die," he placed his hand where Bubblegum slapped him; it still stung. "If anything I think his going to live, it's just that back in Aaa he never has the time to talk to me nor hang out. He won't even tolerate me." Marshall let out a sigh and walked slowly towards Bubblegum who still couldn't believe his words. "So what did you say to him than?." Bubblegum asked Marshall walking slowly walked towards him; arms crossed and tears running down her face.

"Like I was about to say, I told him that I was sorry for all the pranks I pull and that I would want to be your friend." Marshall felt something in his eyes and wiped it away and looked at Bubblegum in her violet colored eyes hoping that she would believe him. "Marshall, I'm so sorry I didn't know..." Bubblegum trailed off. Bubblegum than wrapped her arms around Marshall pulling him into a hug; Marshall involuntarily hugged her back. "I don't know why, but I love you." Bubblegum whispered against his chest.

Marshall POV

"I don't know why but I love you." When those words slipped out a lump formed in my throat. What do I say next 'Sorry I don't love you, I love your brother?' I rested my chin in her head; engulfed in her bubblegum scent that reminded me about Gumball. Then the words slipped out "I love you too."

Gumball POV

I woke up in a dark room, the smell of flowers and medicine filled the room. To be honest I didn't truly care where I was or why I was there. The only thing that was on my mind was, Marshall Lee. I don't know why but something within in made me think of him.
