Fiolee Fanfic Chapter Eighteen

Fionna's POV

For the rest of the day me and Marshall just talked whilst Marshall helped me in any way possible. About an hour after Dad came home Marshall said he had to go. I'm not sure why. He usually stays a whole lot longer. Maybe it was so that he wouldn't have to 'eat' in front of Dad. I made sure to say thank you, even though I know he hates it. Maybe I should get something for him? A shirt? I don't know him that well. I just hope I will be feeling better tomorrow so I can go back to school.

I checked the clock. Only 7:30. Was it too late to go see him and get him a present? Although I don't want to disturb him, he must have left for a reason? Anyway, I don't want to give him my cold. Can vampires even get colds? I figured not. Marshall has completely taken over my mind and he's working on my body! He's all I could think about all night.

In the end I did go out and I even saw him at the shops.
"Marshall? Hey." Was the only reason he left to go shopping?
"Hey, Fi." He had given me a nickname. "What are you doing here, you should be sleeping. You're sick!" He looked worried again and for a second I thought he was going to sweep me off my feet – literally- and fly me home.
"I figured a walk would be nice and Dad wanted some groceries anyway." His shoulders relaxed.
"Alright then," he breathed in deeply. "Just be careful Fi, if you got hurt I don't know what I would do." What did he mean by that? Why did Marshall have to be so amazing yet so confusing?
"You know I will." I smiled at him, trying to ease off his concern.
"Yeah, that's what I'm scared of." I knew it was a joke, or at least I hope I did.
"Hey!" I slapped him lightly.
"Okay, okay. I'm sorry Fionna." He used my full name again. My heart sank a little.
"Well I should get back, just in case I throw up again." I did a gesture which made him laugh.
"Yeah, I don't want that all over me. Bye Fi." He walked away pretty quickly. Why was he in such a hurry and he looked lost all day today? He probably had his special girl over. Where they more than that now? I wanted to puke at the thought.

Marshall's POV

That was an awkward encounter. I thought she would be at home resting! I hope she didn't see all the things I had bought, they it was all for her.

When I did get home, I went straight to another box to sort through. It's lucky I don't sleep much, there's a lot to get through. I came across a box full of childhood toys and memories. I knew I had to throw most of them away, there wasn't anywhere I could keep them. I reached into the box and took out an old torn rag doll. He had been with me forever, even when Ashley sold him! I got him back though. I hugged Hambo in my arms, there was no way I could ever get rid of him. I sat him down and let him watch me, occasionally talking to him.

When I finished my second box of the day, I had a big pile to get rid of. Where would it all go? Could I sell it? I mean the stuff was pretty old, would that make them collectables? I checked the clock next to me. It was pretty late, even for a vampire. I took one last look around the room before heading to my own room. There was still so much more to be done and the days were getting shorter. I only had 4 days left to finish everything! Maybe I could take a day off school tomorrow?
