The girl next door *Bubbline*

41. Marceline's past

Marceline P.O.V
I stroll around the large living room in Simon's house. This house is like a maze, there are hidden rooms and secret doors ways. It's very strange.
I look at the mountain of books as they are set untidly on the tall book shelfs.
Rose and Pete make causal conversation to eachother, whereas Bonnie and Finn are asking Simon questions about himself.
I stop walking as I look at a certain book. I pull it out from the bookcase and stare at it.
It has a blank leather cover, I open it up and it contains photographs of Simon, me and Betty.
I look at the photos of my younger self as I start to feel overwhelmed.
I place the book back as I walk out the door as quickly as possible.
"Marceline"! I hear Bonnie shout as I shut the front door behind me.
I let some tears roll down my face as I harshly wipe them away.
I feel a presence behind me as they place a hand on my shoulder.
"Marcy what's wrong"? Bonnie asks.
"This house, I grew up here and it's just overwhelming for me I guess" I sob as I wipe the tears from my eyes.
(I'm changing Marcy's childhood so it is different to the show but with the same characters).
"Its okay to be upset Marcy, you haven't been here in forever"Bonnie says and turns me to face her.
"It just all of these memories which I blocked just all came back all at once, the good and bad ones" I try to explain to Bonnie as we both sit down on the steps in front of Simon's house.
We sit in slience for a little bit until Bonnie softly grabs my hand and places it on her knee.
"Listen Marceline, you've never told me about your past maybe you need to speak to someone about it out loud to have some closure" Bonnie tells me as she holds my hand.
"I don't want to and I don't need to Bonnie" I tell her as I push her hand away from me.
"Marceline I've told you most of my life story and you've hardly told me anything about your life, if you don't want to talk about it then that's okay" Bonnie tells me.
I sign as I look down at my hands.
"I can only remember a bit about my mother as she died when I was about 6. She was an amazing mother, we would sing songs together that is why I sing now is because I want to remember her in some way. My dad hasn't been in my life since I was born. He left my mother when I was only a month old and I hate him for it.
That's when Simon and Betty took me in as my mother died from an illness and my life was pretty good up until Betty just left me and Simon. Everything just started to break once again as Simon couldn't cope with Betty being gone, he shut me off so I turned to a gang so that I could feel part of something. That's when I met Ash and Pete, you know all that stuff".
I tell Bonnie.
"Wow I'm sorry Marceline that those things happened to you, I know that I haven't experience those things but I know that they would have affected you so much" Bonnie says and hugs me tightly.
I wrap my arms around her as I look over her shoulders to see Pete looking at us.
He smiles weakly at me as he goes back inside.
"We better go back inside now I just and figure out all this stuff with Ash" I tell Bonnie as we pull apart.
"Yeah guess you're right" Bonnie says and grabs my hand.
We walk back inside to see that everyone had now gathered on the sofas.
Simon looked at both me and Bonnie as we entered the room. His eyes were filled with worry as me and Bonnie sit down on a sofa opposite Pete and Simon.
I intertwine my hand with Bonnie's as Finn and Rose stop talking.
Simon clears his voice as the room falls to slience.
"So what's the problem with Ash"? Simon asks us.
"He has some contact outside of prison with a couple of people, this one girl called Isabelle threatened both me and Marceline. She said that they are after both of us, maybe all of us" Bonnie tells Simon.
Simon stays quiet for a minute or so before he gets up and paces around the room slowly.
"We could trap the people on the outside, try to get some information about them which could ruin them for good. This Isabelle could be dangerous but if get something against her then she might back down. The other people who are working with Ash will be easy enough as they are apart of the gang which you and Pete were in before". Simon explains as he sits back down.
"I still know someone who is still in the gang, I can ask them about the gang members involved and see what he says" Pete tells us as he looks at me for a while before glancing away quickly.
"Finn and I could look into Isabelle and see what things we can get on her" Rose says as she gives Finn a small smile.
"Marceline I want you to go to the main person himself, I want you to confront Ash face to face" Simon tells me as he waits for my reaction.
I think for a moment before giving my answer. I would have a chance to tell Ash how I truly feel after all this time but then that could make him do more things to all of us.
"Okay fine I will go to see him" I say to Simon as I glance to see that Bonnie can removed her hand from mine.
"I'm coming with you then, I don't want you going alone" Bonnie tells me with determination.
"I'm coming too, he is my brother after all and I want to confront him about everything" Pete shouts as he glances between Simon, Bonnie and me.
"No one is going to go with Marceline only me and that's final" Simon shouts.
The room goes silent once more as we all look at eachother.
"Bonnie you go with Ash to get information about the gang, Finn and Rose get information about Isabelle and finally Me and Marceline will go to talk to Ash" Simon says frustrated.
"Is everyone okay with that?" Simon asks.
We all mumble a yes, I look over at Bonnie to see that she doesn't look happy.
I place my hand on her thigh as she looks at me and gives a small smile.
"Well it's settled then we have got a plan" Simon says.
