Chapter Text
It was a semi-normal day, well normal for Dipper Pines. He actually was able to eat breakfast,without throwing it all up. It had been a year since everything w gravity falls(bill,mysteries,etc).They decided not to visit gravity falls last year. And it was almost summer Like it was understandable. They were now 14 and it had been fucked up. Because of everything though,things were never really gonna be normal again. Mable could get a bit to her usual self, but had problems trusting people now. Dipper was more “effected”. He would not eat,he wouldn’t sleep. The only thing that was keeping him from not going completely insane or unconscious was Mable. His beloved twin sister who he was so fucking grateful for. She was the one who could comfort him,after a nightmare,which he had had every night for the last three months. She was the one who would make sure he ate,and it’s not like their parents didn’t care. The twins hadn’t told them everything that happened. They had no idea,what happened but asked if he wanted to go to a therapist. He didn’t know what else he would do so he did. Did it help? No,not at all. After a session,he would tell his parents that it was helping then start crying in his room. Mable at one point heard him.
“Hey,Dipper? She wanted him to answer but she wouldn’t push. Are you ok?”
“What?!” He screamed,he didn’t mean to scream,but he felt like he couldn’t hear himself without screaming sometimes.
“Oh,yea I’m fine,I’m great, the session was great” he tried to seem happy, and he was able to keep it up,that was until Mable came in and saw him with puffy,bloodshot eyes.
“Hey,what happened?” She asked softly.
“I-I don’t know what to do. These stupid sessions that mom and dad want me to go to don’t help at all. I can’t seem to talk,i just choke up. And then the person gets mad at me for not saying anything and ‘wasting her time” he said.
“When did she say that? Why would she say that?”
“I heard her say it to mom when she was picking me up. And th-that she had other people she needed to get t-to without me in the way.”
“Hey, hey,calm down,take a deep breath.”
They both proceeded to inhale and exhale deeply.
“Now, cmere.” They hugged in a tight embrace. “Ok,Dipper,let me tell you something. That lady doesn’t know what fucked up shit we had gone through. She has no idea how you and me feel,and she will never have the slightest idea. And I know that,that weird Dorito shaped being,is not gonna hurt us anymore,i will make sure of it. He will not hurt you again. Mom and dad will also never understand. And I’m sorry we can’t tell anybody. Just, .She sighed and smiled. Just take your meds,and eat something,and you’ll be fine. And dipper? Please actually,listen to me. He’s gone, I promise.”
“How can you stay so c-calm though?” Dipper was still red eyed and his throat hurt from crying.
“Because I have you,and we will always have our grunkles,and friends when we go back this next summer. And mom and dad. And you’ll alwauys have me,”
“I’ll never get rid of you will I?” Dipper said jokingly,wiping his eyes.
“Never” Mable winked at him.
“Ok,s-so I guess we should go eat dinner now.”
“Yea,let’s go” they proceeded to go to the living room table. They were with their mom this week. They had Mac n cheese and chips (but not Doritos,never Doritos). Dipper actually ate, and Mabel made some inside joke and they all started laughing. After that, they went to their shared room.
“Ok,dipshit,try to get some sleep tonight.”
“Ok,and stop calling me that.”
“Never in a million years” she said as they got in there bunkbeds and turned off the lights. “Night,bro,love ya”
“I love you too,night”
