"Dipper! GET YOUR ASS BACK HERE! NOW!!"
"NO! Just because we're twins, doesn't mean we perfectly understand each other! Now leave me ALONE!"
I slammed the attic door shut, stomping my way to my bed.
I huffed and let my body fall down onto it.
She just cares about herself, she just wants everything to herself.
There was a knock on the door.
"Go away."
"Dipper, I'm really sorry, I didn't mean any of what I said. Please forgive me."
Dipper heard the sincerity in her voice, but ignored it, and stayed pissed at her.
"Mabel. We need some time apart. You need to realize that your only brother that cared for you, helped you, did almost everything for you. You need to realize how it feels when you don't get what you want, and when you lose something, never getting it back."
Mabel gasped, then was quiet. Dipper meant every word of what he had said. But Dipper knew Mabel never gave up, so she kept trying.
"Dipper, I know how it feels to be heart broken, I know how it feels to lose some you love. But I learned to move on. If I can, then you surely can too."
"No. You've never lost one of the only things that cared about you when you were left in the dark. You say you're always there for me, but you're off trying to impress some dude you don't even know. Everyone left me alone. Then he came along. And now he's gone. Just like dad..."
Mabel was then frustrated.
"Dipper! It's been 4 months! You have me, Soos, Wendy, Grunkle Stan, Grunkle Ford, and Pacifica!
Is that not enough for you!?"
"Mabel, Soos is moving in with his wife, Melody. And Grunkle Stan and Ford have gotten old, and a bit boring, they don't have time for us like they used to. I don't even get along with Pacifica! Wendy is dating some guy now, so she's busy with him. Hell, I need some time alone! You have boyfriends to hunt down anyways."
"Well maybe you are better off alone than to be with someone who ends up dead."
Dipper's eyes widened, then tears started to fall down his cheeks.
Mabel immediately regretted what she had said.
"D-Dipper! That's not what I meant! I swear!"
Dipper got up, and ran to the door. He opened it, revealing a tear streaked face of his sister. He shoved her aside, running down the stairs.
"Dipper!"
He ran faster, bolting out the door.
He didn't know or care where he was running, as long as he was away from Mabel.

Hello, my name is Dipper. Dipper Pines.  I am currently 15, same as my sister. Our mom sent us here so she can find a new husband for no reason whatsoever. Our father died when me and Mabel were 12. He died in a wildfire. He was just helping cleaning up the place, then someone set fire to it, burning the forest and him down.
That fight we just had? I really regret it. It was about a boy named Norman.
He was nice, sometimes shy, socially awkward. He told me he could see ghosts. I of course didn't believe him at first, but he proved  me wrong. He was 15, same age I am now.
4 months ago, he died, in a wildfire. It wasn't too far from Gravity Falls, but close enough for us to hear people yelling for help.
We both rushed to the woods, helping people out from under fallen trees, and guided them to safety. Norman was crushed by a branch, unable to get up.
Most people were gone, a lot of them dead. I tried to get the branch off of him, only slightly budging it. I sobbed, making it worse. He kept yelling for me to run, then started throwing insults at me, to make me leave. I didn't, I knew he didn't mean them, but it still hurt like Hell. A tree came crashing down. I wanted to stay with him to die, but he gave me a look, making me turn back and run. I couldn't think at the time, I didn't even know what I was doing.
I looked back, realizing what I had done.
NO!
I ran back, calling for him. The awful thing was, I had a crush on him. Now he's dead.
I tried to get him back, but firefighters arrived, pulling me back from a newborn flame.
I wanted to die.
I struggled so much, trying to get to Norman, but even I knew, I would never be able to see him again.
I still fought, knowing it would be useless, but I did anyways. Then I blacked out.
Everyone was worried sick, but all I did from that day, is cry and hide away.
Man, did I mess up in life or what.


Note:
Heyo! Hope you enjoyed this chapter! I will be making more later on, of course. So, I just wanted to say I haven't watched anything of Paranorman, Gravity Falls or Over The Garden Wall, so I'm just gonna do one of my favorite AU's, gnome prince Wirt!
Sorry about Norman, he will be a big part in this story, so he's not gone yet. YET. I don't own the picture cover, and I'm so bad at finding who the real artist is, so there will be that, but whoever did the cover, is fuckin awesome.
Hope you enjoyed, thanks fer reading, and enjoy life while you still can!
