Abusive Home

Beginning to an End

Running, run run run run.. Red, Yellow, Fear, Mabel!? It hurts... NononoNO! Wait WAIT-

"GASP!!"

Dipper woke up with a start, it was still dark out. He looked around frantically and saw his sister, still sleeping beside him on the bed they both shared. It may seem weird but it was safer this way. Dipper let out a relieved sigh that he didn't know he was holding. He wiped away the tears in his eyes. He looked around the room, having a bad feeling.. like someone was watching him?

"..We locked the door right?"

Dipper gently grabbed the blanket that was covering them both and uncovered himself without uncovering Mabel, making sure not to wake her up. He stood up from the bed, thankfully he always slept on the edge of the bed. The moon was illuminating the room gently through the window. He walked towards the door and gently tried to open it. He couldn't thankfully, since it was still locked. His mind deciding between going to the bathroom or looking at the moon through the window... He checked the bathroom, turning the lights on. Nobody there. He sighed of relief once more. Turned off the lights and took a glance out the window. There where trees everywhere in the distance as far as the eye could see. Their.. His father's home was in a clearing with a perfect view of the moon. Some may say he's living the dream but it might as well be a nightmare.

Dipper laid back down on the bed, covering himself but mainly Mabel with their blanket so she wouldn't get cold. Dipper hugged Mabel, comforting himself with her warmth, listening to her heartbeat.

"She's okay, she's alive, we're okay..."

He said, bearly a whisper. He stayed up for what seemed like forever, looking around the ever so familiar room filled with memories.. Some more pleasant than others. Until he finally drifted off to sleep again..

-BANG BANG BANG-

"WAKE UP."

Mabel and Dipper both woke up startled by their father's Stern loud voice in the morning. They got up and Mabel unlocked the door

"Took you two long enough. What a lousy bunch. Get ready, Today is a very important day."

Mabel and Dipper's father said coldly, He looked fancier and more annoyed than usual.
They both knew better than to stand by idle. They knew the drill. But both of them nervously looked at each other, then at the closet with their clothes, and then their unmoving father who's watching their every move next to the doorway. They felt traped, the bathroom, their only other source of privacy, was right next to the doorway and knowing their father, he was probably going to try something. Dipper and Mabel noticed the subtle clues that today, He was likely to focus on Mabel. So Mabel was the first to say something

"Dad.. I gotta go potty.." Mabel said nervously with a hushed and uncomfortable tone

Dipper and Mabel's Dad made a disgusted face

"Ugh, disgusting. Ladies shouldn't use such crude words.. I expected better of you."
He gave Mabel a disgusted look and finally left.
