Chapter 7

                                    

                                          
It was raining heavily. Beads of water splattered upon my face, soaking my stylish clothes. Cars drove by, the anonymous drivers carrying on without a second thought, staring out aimlessly to the open road. The party was still raving inside, everyone having a good time but me. I didn't turn back - I already knew how the situation would play out. Everybody would gather around Pacifica, and fuss over her like she was a martyr. And I was that jerk who killed her.
                          
I felt a sharp tap against my hunched shoulder blade. I turned to see Mabel, her chestnut hair drenched, her dress sparkling with the headlights of the cars around us. She was scowling fiercely, maybe even on the verge of tears as well.
                          
"Can you please explain to me what all that was?" She questioned. "Why did you hurt her like that? It was so brutal! You guys were so cute together, like totes OTP, what changed?"
                          
"I did," I answered her, confirming her fears. "I meant every word I said back there. I don't like her anymore, so deal with it!" I hailed a taxi and rushed through the storm. Mabel sprinted after, faster than me, like she always was. 
                          
"Dipper!" She spoke soberly, thinking through each word she said with extreme precision. "You... love Bill. I... I could accept that one day. I'm sorry about before, it was wrong of me to not believe you. If you wanna talk about it, I'm all ears, okay?" 
                          
I smiled warmly, hoping the rain would mask my tears. The cabdriver was getting annoyed at waiting for me, so I quickly gave her a hug and a thanks for accepting me. After all, it meant the world.
                          
"No probs, brobro," she smiled, although it didn't change the sadness in her eyes. "You know I'll always be there for you."
                          
I was whisked away before I could reply, but she knew I felt the same. I looked behind me to see her standing on the sidewalk, a wondering, anxious expression on her face, before collapsing, hitting her head on the pavement.
                          
"Stop the cab!"

OK, this is really short, sorry. So yeah, just as they sorted stuff out, Mabel collapses... this will be fun *evil laughter*. Love you guys,
