Then high school happens

Be mine

Howard's POV

My heart dropped.

I blinked and clenched my fists in my pockets. "W-what is it doc..?" I asked. I was desperate to know, but also wasn't at the same time.

     "Well, we're not sure if she's going to wake up. Even if she does, she might not make it through the night. We ran all of the tests to make sure she was okay, but still. If she does survive, she'll need to go through therapy and maybe contact a psychiatrist." he said.

     I nodded my head as I slowly felt hot tears slip down my cheeks. "Th-thank you sir..." I choked.

Marci's POV

     I wasn't anywhere... But I was also everywhere...

     An image of a person slowly appeared in front of me. Followed by another...

     Mom and Dad...

     They ran to me with tears. "Hunny, why would you do such a thing?" My mother asked between sobs. "Your time isn't now. You still have your whole life ahead of you sweetheart..."

     I snapped. "What? A life filled with pain? My daughter died. I had to give up on my son. You and Dad are dead. What's the point anymore?! I'm tired of waking up in tears, not knowing what will happen that day. All I could imagine is loosing Z!"

     "Then you understand how she feels right now." My father interjected.

     I looked at him and realized. "Oh god... No... I'm dead... What have I done to my poor sweet baby girl..?"

     "Well, you aren't dead yet. But there really isn't much we can do to stop it from awaiting you." My mother set her hand on my shoulder. An image of a hospital room clouded my vision. Z was crying against an unmoving body, and Howard rubbed her back. I recognized the cuts on the hands from barbed wire... The body was me... "This is you right now, Marceline. This is what you have done..." My mother said.

     "Mum I screwed up. I can't do this." I said, starting to go into hysterics.

     "We will do all we are able to try and help, but we aren't sure if you'll make it through."

I started bawling. I broke down. Unable to move.

I tried copying what my mom did to create the image and watched the whole scene. I was dying. Z was bawling. Then Lilly walked in. There wasn't any sound for this image so I couldn't understand what they were saying. Then they hugged. Then something... Sparked...

I watched the screen with great intensity as my mum and dad discussed things behind me. Lilly leaned into Z and they...

Kissed...

My heart dropped. Z was kissing another girl. My best friend since the third grade. But why..?

I felt my face go pale. I dropped the image and fell to the ground. My mother and father ran to my aid but I say up abruptly.

Fresh tears rolled down my cheeks as I stated them in the eyes. "I-I've made my decision..." I said and looked at the ground. My bangs fell over my eyes, covering them. My vision was blurred blue from the tears filling my eyes and the vivid shade of my hair.

"Bumblebee no... I don't care what you say. You aren't staying here." My mother said.

"Mom. No. I have nothing to live for anymore. If I wake up, I'll be all alone." I said.

But my dad walked over and set his hand on my shoulder. "Marciline Abernathy Vamp." He said. I looked up and moved my hair out of my face. His gaze was cold and stared at nothing behind me. Then it went blurry and I opened my eyes.

I was in the hospital. And across the room... I didn't even pay attention to the agonizing pain in my whole body, but focused on the blazing hot brandishing iron struck through my heart.

They were full on making out. And I was full on watching. Lilly said to Z, "Z... Be mine... Marci never really loved you. I knew you had feelings for me this whole time. You were just playing with Marci.." Howard walked in and gasped. Z pulled away and looked utterly horrified. Lilly looked pale.

As soon as he opened the door it seemed as if it shut just as fast. He was no longer in the room.

Z glanced at me. I quickly shut my eyes before she noticed I was awake. "Okay Lilly... You're right..." She said and then I heard the sound of their lips smacking again.

I felt warm tears slip down my cheeks and burning agony. Fine. She doesn't love me? So. Be. It.

Howard walked in again but this time didn't step back out. Z and Lilly happily continued. "Get a room!" Howard said then realized. "Wait... Z? And... Lilly?!" he pulled back in utter disgust. "But Z! Marci will wait!"

Z looked guilty but turned away. "I don't care. Come on Lilly." She said grabbed her hand and left, slamming the door behind them.

I opened my eyes and Howard noticed. "Marci! You're alive!"

I felt the tears slide down my cheeks. "D-Define Alive..." I said then felt my shoulders shake with my sobs. Howard hugged me tightly. "I saw everything Howard... My feet dragged me to that bridge and this was why. My mind knew something would happen... But with Z..?"

Howard shook his head. "I know I know I'm sorry... I knew that she was cheating on you but she swore me not to tell... She has pretty harsh blackmail of me that NO ONE needs to know about... I feel so bad Marci... I won't ask forgiveness..."

"But Howard... I don't care if you knew or not. That doesn't matter..."

"Well what are you gonna do now..?" He asked me with curiosity and sorrow in his blue eyes.

"I... I'm not sure..."

Hey guys. Sorry about the delay, and the huge plot twist. This has over a thousand words so I hope it's worth it. Marci is just going through change so things might be a little off for a little while. Again, I'm sorry. Please keep reading though...
