Gumball's p.o.v

   I woke up in my bed screaming and sweat on my forehead. Before I could move, a pair of strong arms were wrapped around my waist. Those arms belonged to my boyfriend, Marshall Lee.

   Those words melted in my mouth. He made me feel so safe, something I haven't felt in a while. He always knew how to calm me down, make me feel better.

"Gumball! Are you okay? You were screaming in your sleep!" he hugged me tight. I returned the hug, letting him know I was okay.

"Y-yes, I'm fine. Just a nightmare, that's all. I assure you I'm alright."

   He gave me a big smile, but it soon faded away into an emotionless state. He turned away from me, and he was shaking.

"Marshall, what's wrong? You seem troubled? Are you okay?" he didn't answer me. I went to put my hand on his shoulder, to comfort him, but he smacked it away.

"I-I don't want to talk to you, or anyone right now. I kinda want to be alone." he looked really upset. Something was wrong if he didn't want to talk to me, or anyone frankly.

   My eyes started tearing up. I was starting to think that maybe it was me that was making him feel this way. Maybe he was getting bored of me. I mean, we have been dating for 3 months now. I started crying,  but Marshall just sat up and flew out the window, without a word said.

   I decided that maybe he just needed thinking time, because I kinda have been pestering him for the past 3 months we've been together. I've just been really worried about the self harm he'd been doing.

***time skip***

   It had been 3 days since Marshall said he needed 'alone time'. I was starting to get really worried. My mind was clouded with thoughts. What if he started cutting again? What if he's cheating on me?

   No, that can't be it. Marshall would never do that to me. And I think he actually stopped cutting. It wouldn't matter because I disposed of all of the razors anyways.

   I baked Marshall a large quantity of his favorite Red Velvet Cupcakes. Along with some Cream Puffs that I know he loves. I put them all in a picnic basket along with a large blanket and some plates. I think a picnic will be kinda romantic, and Marshall loves food so its a win-win.

   I walked through the woods to get to Marshalls. Partially because Lord Monochromicorn is busy dealing with his new pups. And because I thought a walk would clear my mind. The forest isn't that bad. I've been in here before. It's just a bunch of trees and nice little animals.

   I had been walking for about an hour when I approached the cave. It was quite a challenge climbing up to get to the entrance, but I managed. Maybe being in better physical shape probably would have helped me get to the top faster, but there's not much I could do on that subject of matter.

   I never realized how deep into the cave Marshall's house was. It took me quite some time to begin to see it. But when I finally did, I also saw Marshall stepping out of the house, followed by someone else.

   I had to squint my eyes to be able to get a glimpse of who it was, but when I did, I was beyond stunned. Ashley was standing next to Marshall, and she was hugging him and holding his hand!

   Marshall kissed her and they started having a make-out session right in front of me. My heart shattered into a million pieces, I'm pretty sure you could actually hear it breaking.

   I was so shocked and heart broken that I dropped the picnic basket and all the plates shattered, causing a loud echo that Marshall heard, interrupting their little make-out session.

   I looked into his eyes and they were filled with sadness. He probably felt bad for me. He probably didn't even care.

   He pushed Ashley away and started running my way. I heard him calling my name, but I did nothing but turn around and walk away. Of course he was much faster than me so he caught up.

   He grabbed my shoulder forcing me to turn around. He looked into my eyes, and he looked so sorry. But I knew he probably wasn't. It was just pity for me.

   He went to hug me, but I pushed him away with all of my force. It was just enough to get him a couple of feet away from me.

"D-don't touch me! You cheating dick! What did I ever do to you to deserve this? Am I not good enough for you?!"

"Gumball, please! Let me explain what happen-"

"What is there to explain? You cheated on me and that's all there is to it. You obviously got bored with me and moved on!"

   How could you? How could you?
