-Mabel's P.O.V-

I woke up around 9:00. I got up from the sofa, and headed for the bathroom. Waddles was lying next to me sleeping soundly. I headed up the stairs, and walked towards the bathroom. I closed the door, and locked it. I took one look in the mirror, and saw a mess. My sweater was torn and dirty, I had bruises and scrapes all over my legs, and my face had a big bruise on my left cheek. You could see a blurry outline of a hand surrounding the bruise.

I began to cry. I unlocked and opened the door, and headed over to the attic. I sat down next to the door, pulled my sweater over my head and bruised legs. I was in "sweatertown". Dipper was most likely still in the room.

Minutes later, I heard the door open. I peeked out from sweatertown to reveal my face. I looked at Dipper. He glared at me as he walked by; showing no regret the he slapped me. Did he care? Does he even want me around?

"Kids! Come down for breakfast" Grunkle Stan yelled.

I came out of sweatertown and began to walk over to the kitchen. I sat down, and on my plate was eggs and bacon. Grunkle Stan poured me a cup of orange juice. Dipper sat next to me. I looked over to him, and he looked angry. Grunkle Stan and Ford sat down next to us. Everyone started eating. I just picked at my food.

"Dipper. Why did you slap your sister last night?" Grunkle Stan asked in a more serious tone.

I could feel tears rolling down my face. I kept me head down, because I didn't want anyone to see me like this. Dipper didn't answer.

"Mabel, do you want to try talking to him?"

I did. I wanted to tell him that I was sorry, and he had the right to not trust me.

"Dipper?" I squeaked. "I am really, really sorry about yesterday. I hurt you, and you have every right not to trust me, but why? Why did you slap me?" I asked.

Dipper than did the last thing I expected him to do. He punched me. He punched me so hard that I fell off the chair. My nose started to bleed. I screamed in pain again. I looked at Dipper, and he was still glaring at me. His face showed, Go away, I never want to talk to you again. That was enough for me. He didn't want me here. I got up and ran, ran right passed Stan and Ford, ran out the front door and into the forest. I didn't stop running until I was deep in the forest.

I didn't want to go back. I sat down next to a log and put my head into my arms. Dipper doesn't need me anymore. I left him, Stan, and Ford. Forever.

-Dipper's P.O.V-

I punched Mabel. I punched right out of the chair. She ran. Right out of the house. I stormed out of my chair and headed for the bathroom. Stan and Ford were in shock.

I opened the door to the bathroom, and entered. I looked in the mirror. I saw myself. Angry. I slammed my hand down on the sink. I stared into the mirror for minutes until I finally saw myself. I then realized what I had done. I let a stupid button get in between Mabel and me. I was so mad at her that I slapped and punched her within 12 hours. My face fell. I broke her. I slapped and punched her. I slapped and punched her so hard that she screamed in pain, and I didn't even care. What have I done?

I didn't know where she went, or how long she would be gone. I wanted her back. I just want everything to go back to normal. I opened the door and walked downstairs. My new face expression was regret.

"KID! WHY IN THE WORLD WOULD YOU DO THAT?" Stan screamed.

All I could do is look down, a tear rolled down my cheek. Mabel was sorry, and I just kept making her feel worse.

"I'm sorry." I whimpered. "It's all my fault. I didn't want Mabel here at the time. But I do. I want to tell her that I'm sorry everything I've done to her. I made her feel like nothing, to show her how I felt." I was now crying.

Stan came over to comfort me.

"It's okay. Listen; do you know where Mabel might have gone?"

"N-No. I've never seen her, this hurt before." I said looking down at my shoes.

"We will find your sister. We'll even look all night if we have to. Ford said reassuring me.

I smiled at him. We all heard the door open. We looked up hoping that it would be Mabel. It was Soos.

"What's up, dudes?" He asked. "Is something wrong?"

"It's Mabel. We don't know where she went." Stan replied.

"Is there anything I can do to help?" He asked.

"Search the town."

"You got it!" Soos said. He ran out the door.

"Okay, listen. I am not going to tell your parents. I don't want them to freak out, plus do you know what will happen if they find out Mabel went missing under my watch?" Stan said.

"Okay. What if we can't find her?" I asked.

"Don't even think about that we will. We have a little over a month to do so." Stan said.

We all grabbed a backpack, and filled it with Waters, Walkie-Talkies, Snacks, and a picture of Mabel. We all were going to look in the forest. Soos was in the town looking around.

"Okay, if you find Mabel contact each other, and we will meet back here. I have a map of the forest, so we don't get lost. And remember, be careful." Stan said.

"Okay." I said.

"I will radio you two in when it's time to head back."

We all went separate ways. We all have two Walkie-Talkies.

"Testing. Testing." Ford said through the Walkie-Talkie

"I can here you loud and clear Ford."

Stan did the same thing. The search for Mabel has begun.
