Connecting the Dots

Chapter 4

I felt a choking sense, my lungs burning and my chest getting tight. Ella's voice started pitching, "Let go of my mommy!" I couldn't believe it. Ella was crying, for my safety. Everything seemed to slow down, my body becoming weaker. "Mommy!" I heard a loud scream and my eyes closed. Everything was black.

(A/N: The daughters also have POV's and so does the husband.)

Ella's POV**

I saw my mom lie in the fire and Reygan look up at me, her small face going into a normal face, that looked like my mommy's face. She disappeared and my mom burned. I ran out, Wallis and Laris hugging me. "Where's mom?" I turned and pointed at the school and both of them started crying. I saw daddy's car pull up and a boy with dad, "Wallis! Laris! Ella! Are you three alright?" I nodded. Daddy looked at me, and gasped. The boy went into the school. He came out with mommy's sad body, crying. "Oh my god." I heard daddy say. I comforted him, and the boy looked at me, "It's going to be okay, your mommy is in a better place now." I hugged him, slightly squeezing him, "Thank you." I saw Laris and Wallis crying, covering mommy's body. "I'm Dipper. I was your mommy's brother." I smiled and we walked over to my mommy.

Dipper's POV**

Mabel was dead. The smoke entered her lungs and she died. Laris, Wallis, and Ella all sat on a bench, being questioned by the police. I turned to see Dariel down by the creek that me, Grunkle Stan, and Mabel would grab fish. I felt like a child again, Mabel and I practically drowning each other for a fish.

"She's gone." I heard Dariel whisper, and I sighed, "At least you guys were close. We separated after she found me drugged, with a one night stand. She took care of me and I decided to ignore her." I burst into tears, all of the memories flashing.

> when they first visited Gravity Falls <

"Mabel! I do not like Wendy!" she laughed at me and punched my hat off, "Yeah you do! Hey, hey Wendy! Dipper likes you!" I saw Wendy turn around and I jumped to hide behind the counter, "What was that?" she asked, taking out an earphone. "Thank god." I said, under my breath. Mabel pulled me out from behind the counter and we ran outside, fighting. "You stink like pig poop!" I laughed, "Well at least I don't focus on the -- OH MY GOD!" I held onto her wrist before she could even fall. We both laughed, rolling.

"Now what?"

> present year <

I saw Mabel in her coffin, her pale body. Her colorless hair, her lifeless body. I missed my 1 minute younger sister, and I ignored her. "Alright, time for speeches."

I walked up to the stand, clearing my throat. "Mabel. She was my twin. My other half, my gum stuck under my desk. She was everything, she was the reason I kept breathing. Here's a little letter I wrote, but never sent. Dear Mabel, you are the reason I want to smile, but after the death of my son, I can't. Thank you, Mabel. You're the best sister I have, and I need your positivity in my life. Please, Mabe. Come back to me, I miss you." I felt myself tearing up, "Now, she's pale. She's lifeless, she's not my sister anymore. Mabel, if you're up there, please, just know that you are still in my heart. Yours truly, Dipper Ty Pines." I cried and Laris walked me down.

>10 years later<

My daughter went off to middle school (private) and that's the last I'll see of her, in 3 years. I've taken full responsibility of Laris and Wallis after Dariel killed himself. Ella went off to the orphanage in Yorkshire and since then, I have not heard any news. "Alright, girls. Get ready. We're visiting your mum today."

Laris' POV**

I put my hair in a ponytail and a little dress. Not too short, though. I saw Wallis and Dipper waiting for me, and I hopped into the car. "How long has it been since mum passed?" Wallis stared at me with the deadliest look in her eyes, "10 years, Laris." She looked back down at her thin thighs. She had lost all kinds of weight when our mother died, last time she ate was Sunday. It's Tuesday. All she does is gulp down water and milk. We looked just like each other, except she had blue eyes, I had green. She was bone skinny, while I had some curves. The thing was that since our mother died, we've lost complete control over our lives. Wallis lost tons of weight and I haven't had any sleep and I'm starting to grow bags under my eyes.

"Mum said that Ella was the special one." Wallis muttered. It was true. Her eyes were brown, and her hair was blonde. She was chubby, too. I looked down, "Mum always believed we were all special." Wallis gripped the seat, "Mum all thought we were beautiful, no matter how different we looked from Dariel." Wallis cried and stared at me, "You mean papa? He was our dad, Lari! Don't fucking say his name, YOU KNEW he was our father!" she pulled out her wrist and scratched herself repeatedly, after her scars had faded. She had slight bite marks on her ankles and her hands. She started scratching herself until she broke into a rage, "I don't want to see mum. Let's go home."

Wallis' POV**

I ran to the bathroom, locking the door. I bit myself once on the wrist, leaving a dark red mark. I bit myself on each of my fingers, leaving darker marks. I soon started crying, I cleaned myself up and walked to my room, getting my pajamas on. I lied down, looking back on how my mum died. Reygan killing my mother, but everybody believing that the smoke did.

This is my situation now.
