Forever (Fiolee)

Chapter 22: Thinking & More Thinking

Marshall POV

I was in my room laying on my bed just staring at the ceiling. I skipped school today because I was avoiding her.

Was it killing me to ignore her? Yes, slowly but surely. Did I miss hanging out with her? Of course. Then why couldn't I bring myself to just go up to her and make everything right? I don't know. I truly don't know.

From the moment I first saw Fionna, I knew she was different in her own way. She was beautiful but yet she didn't dress to impress. She is a girl but she that doesn't mean she's weak. She's probably one of the strongest people I know. She was smart, brave, and kind. And even though I wanted to be with her right now I just couldn't.

I know she only said what she said because she was mad and maybe she didn't mean what she said but I couldn't help but think she did. Maybe the reason I am avoiding her is because I think her words were true and I am a terrible friend and I wouldn't blame her if she thought so, too, or maybe it's because I'm afraid.

Maybe I'm afraid of her leaving me just like everybody else did and I'm afraid of having to let her go because I don't want to.

I'm a player and I play with girls like they're toys and when I'm bored I throw them away. I know what I'm doing is bad but they're sort of letting me. They know what I do and who I am so it's not like it's completely my fault.

But I guess what I'm trying to say is that Fionna didn't care about that and took the time to get to know the real me. This is why I love Fionna...as a friend of course.

I was about to get up and get something to eat when my phone started ringing all of a sudden. Without looking who the caller was I answered thinking it was one of my band mates.

"Hello?"

"Hey, Marshall. I need to talk to you," the familiar voice said.

"Fia?" I asked wondering why she out of all people called me. It's not like we don't know each other but she rarely calls.

"No, it's the easter bunny," she said sarcastically. I rolled my eyes but kept listening to what she said to say.

"Look I know I never call and this is probably pretty weird but I need to talk to you so could you please meet me at the coffee shop near the mall at 5pm, please."

"I'm not in the mood," I said truthfully.

"Well, obviously. But this is important," she answered obviously annoyed with me.

"Fine, but I'm only agreeing because I'm bored and I have nothing to do," I gave in.

"Omg, you're unbelievable," she mumbled.

"Unbelievably handsome? I know. But you better believe it because I am truly fucking sexy!" I smirked waiting for her reaction.

"Omg, Marshall Lee. You are such an-"

I hung up before she even started with all her lame insults.

I got up from my bed and got ready. I was curious though...what does Fia want to talk about?
