Love me (gumlee)

Chapter 2

Gumballs POV:

When I first heard the rumors about Marshall, I was astonished. Marshall Lee, who I have been hopelessly in love with for years, May actually love me back. Of course they are just rumors, but still I am so utterly surprised. I can't help but smile at the thought of being in the relationship I've been waiting to take place for years.

I smile and fall back onto my bed. I then take my phone out of my pocket. Once I find Marshall's contact, I flip my phone back and forth, pondering on what I should say. But then I remember the moment when I saw him walking back to his cave. The dark hoodie. The dark circles under his eyes. His hair looked as if he hadn't washed it in days. And the dark spot on the side of his cheek. A bruise? Or a burn? A burn from flame prince? I haven't seen much of him lately, either. I frown as I realize what his wrong. He's depressed, obviously. Why haven't I noticed before? It's been a month at the least since these rumors started.

I tap Marshall's contact and call him. He doesn't pick up. I call again. He picks up after a few seconds of ringing.

"Hi marshall!" I say enthusiastically

"Hey.." Marshall replies.

"What's up?"

"Nothing."

"Oh. Would you like to come down to the candy kingdom tomorrow?" He pauses for a moment.

"Um, sure. Be there tomorrow. Morning. Bye." He hangs up the phone. That conversation didn't last for any more than 5 seconds. But at least he's coming tomorrow morning.
