GUMBALL P.O.V

After we cleared things up, we decided to stay there for the night. Just cuddling and talking, caressing each other after Marshall changed the sheets... the other one was soaked with bloody water after he cleaned me up. 

However, there was something still bothering me... no matter what I did, Marshall could barely touch me. He was definitely still scared. 

Of course... I understand that... but I'm doing my best to show him that I know it wasn't his fault... that I'm not that hurt... I can take it... and besides... he's here to take care of me... I finally understood why he was acting so strange before... someone drugged him. What kind of person would do that... it was definitely not Bonnie... right? Honestly, I had no idea...

It could have been her... after all Marshall said he believes so... and... she did mention she would do anything to show me he doesn't deserve me... 

Nonononono... I'm being silly here... it wasn't her... absolutely not...... but... IF... by any chance... it WAS her... why on earth would she even think I wouldn't find out he'd been drugged... and why would she think that, even if I were to think he used drugs by his own will, that I wouldn't forgive him and just... break up with him...? It was a onetime thing anyways... he's never violent to me... he has never even BEEN violent to me... This is definitely strange...

*the next Monday*

After what happened, I spent the rest of the weekend at Marshall's because I didn't want to worry Peppy with all the bruises and injuries. Marshall drove to my house and got me my stuff for school and some clothes... and he told me Bonnie didn't even glance at him.

Obviously, we came to school together this morning. Both Marshall and I acted weird the whole day... him more then me... it was driving me crazy. 

It was so damn hot today but I had to entirely cover myself up because of all the bruises... mostly because Marshall was feeling guilty as hell.
