Bill's POV

To be honest, I wasn't entirely sure how to drive a car. We certainly never learned it as kids. I just tried my best to logic through it until we got to a doctor.
   A few difficult minutes later, I pulled the car into the hospital parking lot and levitated Dipper just enough to get him out of the car and drop him into my arms. I then took his pulse, which seemed quieter than usual, but still present, and his breathing seemed weak, but alright. I shifted my grip on him and began to walk as fast as I dared up to the doors of the hospital.
    "His heart rate is steady, but he's still in critical condition."
   The voice of the nurse pulled me out of my daydream. I felt a stab of worry, and momentarily wondered where I was. I quickly remembered that the nurse had asked me to wait in the waiting room until they got his vital signs somewhat normal again. I shifted in my chair.
"Can I go in and see him yet? Is he awake??" I found myself asking the nurse in a very concerned, almost heartbroken voice.
She looked at me sympathetically and smiled sadly. "I'm afraid you'll have to wait to see him for a couple hours, he's not totally stable yet, and from howw you're talking, he probably wouldn't want to see you anyway." The nurse winked at me, and I gave her a puzzled look.
"What do you mean by that??" I asked, staring at her quizzically.
"I mean, you're blushing. Now you'll have to wait a couple of hours before you can see your boyfriend." She smiled again and walked away.
At the mention of boyfriend, I blushed harder and felt a tear fall down my cheek. Boyfriend. Why did a small part of me wish the nurse was right?

I felt a couple more tears fall, and then I teleported into Dipper's hospital room. I kept myself invisible, so that nurse wouldn't tease me anymore. I sat on the edge of his bed, and lightly kissed his cheek. Wait, what??? Why did I do that?? I slapped myself on the arm, then continued to watch his sleeping face. It was too hard to tear my eyes away from him. I floated next to him, and laid on my side so I could watch him while I rested. I looked at his heart rate monitor, which was still dangerously low. This is all my fault.
