Writer's note:
Hey guys! This chapter was requested by WritersLife3: "There needs to be a sequel to No.24! He wakes up from the coma and nobody's there but Bill, cause nobody picked up their phones when the hospital rings, so Dipper goes home, becomes distant, runs away with Bill the day they get the hospital bill? Something along those lines, pretty pretty please?" So this is a follow up to the chapter "Bike Ride". I hope y'all enjoy it!
Thanks for reading!
Dipper woke up with a start. He looked down at himself and saw he was wearing hospital clothes. Yes that had happened indeed. He looked around and was not surprised to find an empty room. No one cared. Just like he expected.
"Pine tree?" He heard a voice coming from the left side of the room.
Bill was standing there almost like a mirage, but once Dipper looked at him he took solid form.
"Thank all the Gods that don't exist! You are awake!" Bill said going next to Dipper.
"So that thing in my head-"
"Yes it happened. Yes I confessed my love for you. Yes you reacted positively. And yes we kissed inside your coma."
"Oh okay. That's quite a lot to take in."
"So is life, darling. Get used to it."
Dipper fell quiet for a second.
"And no one else showed up I assume?" He asked quietly.
Bill looked over at him sadly.
"They called each one of them but no one picked up."
"Typical."
"Look, Pine tree, they are probably somewhere noisy or away from the phone. If they had known they would be here."
"No, Bill they wouldn't. They are never here. They just stopped giving a shit over time."
Bill looked down sadly. He couldn't allow himself to believe Dipper was right.
"Bill, will you do me a favour?" Dipper asked.
"Anything, Pine tree."
"Take me home and don't talk about this with any of them."
"I don't know if you are well enough to go home."
"I am just take me to the Shack please."
Bill nodded and walked out of the room. He would have to brainwash a couple of people but he would do what Dipper asked. The last thing he wanted to do was see Dipper sad.
The next morning Dipper went down the stairs to have breakfast. Stan was sitting on the table already eating his daily morning meal.
"Hey Dipper!" Stan said as Dipper got in the kitchen.
"Hey, Grunkle Stan." Dipper responded taking his box of cereal and sitting down.
"Woah, kid! What happened to your face?!" Stan asked worried.
"I fell. From my bike, you know, yesterday when I came home. The rode was slippery." Dipper lied taking a spoonful of cereal.
"But are you okay? Does it hurt?"
"No, I'm fine." Dipper said getting up. He was tired of that talk already.
"Woah, kid where are you going? It's Saturday!"
"Out. I need it." Dipper said getting out of the kitchen and hitting Mable on his way to the door.
Mable hit his wounded shoulder and Dipper almost screamed in pain but contained himself to a low cry.
"Are you oka- OH MY GOD WHAT HAPPENED TO YOUR FACE?!" Mable asked once Dipper turned.
"I fell."
"Jesus, bro bro! You have to take care of that! It could be infected! Let me help!"
"If you had helped me yesterday, I wouldn't have this on my face today." Dipper said storming past her. He needed to go out. He couldn't take that house anymore. Or those people. Or anything. He was tired. Dipper sat on the couch on the porch. He didn't know where else to go.
"Pine tree, you can be that mad forever. They didn't mean you any harm." Bill said appearing next to Dipper.
"But they harmed me, Bill. And I can't take that anymore." Dipper responded burying his face on Bill's shoulder.
"Pine tree, look at me." Bill said and Dipper looked in his eyes.
"Are you serious about that?" Bill asked.
"I am Bill. I feel trapped! I feel like I am starving for attention when I don't even want any! I just... I just feel awful." Dipper said looking extremely tired.
Bill took a deep breath and looked into Dipper's eyes.
"Pine tree, I don't think your family has given up on you. I think they still care. But I am willing to do anything for you at any cost. I just want to see you happy." Bill said and got up. "So do you want to come away with me?"
"What?" Dipper asked confused."Come away. Leave this world, this galaxy, leave this dimension!"
"Bill that's crazy!"
"I can do crazy things." Bill commented with a smile.
"But you would have to leave too!"
"Well, I was getting bored of this place anyway." Bill said and smiled.
Dipper jumped and hugged him. This was insane and yet it was the happiest he had been in a really long time. He was finally going to be with someone that appreciated him and he had been needing that for a long time. Dipper smiled to himself in one moment of complete and utter happiness.
And as he was leaving the Shack he saw an envelope with the hospital logo on it. Well, maybe his family would see what happened sooner than later. But he didn't care. In that moment nothing could affect him.
