It's all over....

What we went through feels like a distant memory even though it was just days ago. I still feel strangely empty without Dipper here beside me as I stare down at the candles on my birthday cake.

People always say to make a wish before you blow out your candles. A few months ago, I would've wished for Dipper...But now I know that everything is finally as it should be.

After all, Dipper and I made a promise to each other...

"Maybe this can be our last summer.."

Dipper had said to me,

"after the summer's over, I've gotta go,"

I can still hear his voice as clear as a bell....

"can you promise me that?"

I heave a wistful sigh and close my eyes,

"...goodbye, Dipper" I whisper before blowing out out those thirteen candles.

Even if he's truly gone, Dipper Pines will always be my brother,

dead or alive.

The End
