Chapter 3: The Argument
Mabel was about to explode, she was filled with such rage, she was thankfully held down by her best friends.
"Mabel please calm down." Candy pleaded, just wanting Mabel to calm herself before she tore throats out.
"I WILL NOT CALM DOWN! SHE'S HURT ME SO MANY TIMES! WHY DID YOU BRING HER HERE?!" Mabel roared.
"I came here to apologize..." Pacifica whimpered, she looked at Dipper, the look on his face said "I will never let anyone hurt you" She then got even closer to him, he made her feel safe, safer than anyone else had made her feel.
Mabel was still furious, but she stopped screaming.
"Like I can forgive you, you're probably using Dipper so you can hurt me again." She said, she could not believe the fact that Dipper wasn't yelling at her too. But then again, ever since the first time they left this mysterious town, he was more secluded and wasn't as personal.
"No it isn't like that, I am truly sorry for making fun of you, and hurting your feelings." Pacifica said, still holding onto Dipper's hand.
"You aren't sorry, you are just trying to find another was, that's what you always do, you self-centered, egotistical, cold, heartless, shallow little bi-" Mabel was cut off short.
"ENOUGH!" Dipper bellowed. "She is sorry for what she did, and you should stop calling her names, because I talked with her, I realized that she is a wonderful person, what was said is in the past, what matters now is what will be done for the future." All the girls were stunned, Dipper protected her, she made fun of him too, and they wondered if she was actually being sincere. What mostly stunned them is him yelling at Mabel, they were inseparable, the fact that he wasn't on her side said either Dipper was very much manipulated, or…or Pacifica actually was sorry.
"I'm sorry…" Mabel said quietly, barely enough to hear.
"Good," Dipper said, "You two may have differences, but you need to grow up, Pacifica did, right?" He said as he turned to her. She nodded, she may be annoyed with her if around her too long, but other than that, she didn't mind Mabel, she actually thought she was funny.
"Dipper, you do not know the sadness most people make me feel, you have no idea what it's like to be hurt and alone, I didn't have Grenda and Candy during the summer, so I was all alone. How do you think that feels?!" Mabel said, impatient with him, could he not understand that most people are cruel?
Dipper slowly pulled up his sleeves, there were cuts all around his arms, not like "running through the forest" cuts, but depression cuts, most were faded away, but two or three were still very red.
Everyone was shocked; Soos and Wendy came outside to see why people were screaming. Everyone's eyes were fixed on his arms.
"Oh. My. God…" They said.
"You think I don't know what hurt and alone feels like? You are my sister… You are supposed to be there for me, I couldn't say what I really feel like because you would always make some joke out of it. I needed help, not humor." Dipper said, he didn't cut himself anymore, he did get depressed sometimes, but he learned from cutting, he learned that he shouldn't cut himself, someone would care, and he knew Mabel would but he could never bring himself to show her. This is why he ran, one part to actually train to run from monsters, the other parts were for him to think, for him to give his body something to do while he thought. It worked for him, he got happier. So he stopped cutting, but the scars were still left over, something he wish he could take away.
Dipper pulled down his sleeves and walked away, leaving everyone else to think.
"Oh my god…I'm a terrible sister…" Mabel said, the realization that she was caring more for herself than her brother, and by doing that made him hurt himself, came crashing down on her, she turned pale, she felt like throwing up.
"I would have never guessed Dipper being like that..." said Wendy.
"Same." said Soos.
"Wow." said Candy.
"I'm going after him." said Pacifica.
"Pacifica…I am really sorry…" Mabel whimpered out. Pacifica nodded and took off running into the forest.
Dipper was sitting on a rock, wondering if showing them was the right thing to do. He did care what they would think, but what he mostly cared about was how Pacifica was feeling. Again with Pacifica, he really liked her, would this make her hate him..?
"Dipper Pines, it's good to see you." said a very familiar voice. Time stood still, color faded out; Bill Cipher appeared in front of the teenager. "Look, I know you have had a hard life, but things aren't as bad as they seem, everything happens for a reason. I'll be seeing you around, don't forget what I said!" Bill then disappeared, leaving Dipper more confused than before.
He didn't see Pacifica hug him, he was deep in thought, but his mind immediately went blank when they touched. She looked deep into his eyes, searching them for any sign that might say he was mad at everyone. He stared back into her beautiful eyes, she came back to him…She didn't hate him! He smiled at her, a cute, goofy smile. She laughed and smiled back, they started to lean closer together.
Their lips met, they kissed with passion and love, they didn't kiss very hard, but they made out softly, kissing in rhythm of each other. They broke the kiss after a few minutes, and put their foreheads together with their eyes closed…They made each other happy…They never wanted to leave…So they sat there for a long time, smiling and kissing.
Authors Note: This chapter was a little darker, it is called Dipper's Dark Days, but the chapters will get happier, and every once in a while I will throw our couple into a pit of darkness so they can pick each other up. I love stories where they help each other when life goes so wrong.
