ch.14 Dipper's POV

I woke to a white light, with several figures standing above me. My vision was blurry. I assumed my life had ended, but I couldn't be sure.

"am I dead?" I asked.

"Ho no son, your in a hospital." An ufarmillar voice told me, " but, it's a wonder you aren't!" That made my heart drop. I almost died. I could have killed myself or Mabel all because of some stupid book! Mabel. Where's Mabel? He didn't say if she survived, but then again, he didn't say she died... I should probably investigate Mabel's whereabouts.

"Where's my sister?" I asked in a serious tone of voice. My vision cleared.

"Hey, Dipping Sause." Mabel's voice croaked from the other side of the room. I immediately looked over. Mabel was across the room in a bed slightly bigger than the one she slept in back at the mystery shack. She looked bad, but by the way everyone was looking at me I didn't look to hot either, of course I didn't feel to hot to add on.

"Now, we need to change your bandages, if all the guests would leave," the voice said again, I could now see this was The doctor. Grunkle Stan, Soos, and Wendy all left the room.

"Okay kids how ya feelin'?" The doctor asked. Mabel shrugged. I however, feel horrible. Absolutely horrid. No doubt about that.

"Well what about you, diaper, is it?" The doctor questioned. Is that supposed to be some kind of sick joke?

"It's Dipper." I coughed, "and I feel horrible." The doctor forced a smile

"sorry about the name thing, but do you think I could look at your wound?" I didn't really want him to, but ya know, doctor's orders. I nodded. He slowly unwrapped the medical tape and the cloth that was covered in my blood. I closed my eyes, but of course curiosity got the best of me. The deep gash in my stomach looked completely and utterly discusting. Now even I'm surprised that I'm alive. My deathly wound is still oozing with blood.

"that's not good..." The doctor stated the obvious, "I need some gauze, stat." He grabbed his medical tape. He put my bandages back on and shook his head.

"looks as if we're going to have to move you to the intensive care unit, and probably operate."

After all that work was done I still feel like I'd fallen off a 7 story building and into a dumpster. In fact, all I feel like doing is to curl up and die, but I can't leave Mabel, not now. I love my sister, and she'd be devastated if I died, though, that's a all I want to do, just lay down, in a comfy spot, and die. If I go through all of this pain and suffering for a long time, I'm sure Mabel would understand, but right now it seems all she wants is to hug me, and support me, if only she could understand how much pain I'm in, it's unbearable. She has almost fully recovered, and is in rehab, but all she does is yell at the doctor and accuse him of lying about my state of health. All I want to is die, but right now I'll just sleep.

Mabel's POV

The doctor escorted me back to Dipper's room, he was now in ICU, and I always hated it there. All the sick people, near death, I can't bear it. We finally reached Dipper's room. His eyes were closed, and his pulse was low. I started flipping out.

"DIPPER! DIPPER NO! DON'T LEAVE ME!" I yelled. His eyes barely opened.

"It's okay, your brother was just sleeping." The doctor's voice was so calm, I can't understand why.

"Hi Dipper, er, are you feeling better?" I asked, all he did was stare at me, as if he was to weak to even move.

"He isn't to well, would you like to see him another time?" I shook my head, and sat down next to him. He gradually fell asleep. I'm beginning to think Dipper wants to go, but I don't want him to.
