POV Dipper

Saturday was terrifying because of what happened. I didn't leave my room for the rest of the weekend because of it. Dr. Angelo told my parents that they're finding the person who tried to kidnap me. They said it might take a while because they were wearing a mask.

Dr. Angelo gave me something to protect me or to attack someone when I can't. I still don't know what it actually does because he just told me never to take it off. Then I realized that all of the angels were wearing it, but their all different stones in the middle. I have one that matches my signature color which looks kind of cute.

Dad really wanted me to carry a teaser around and I refused because then Star would get it. I don't know if it's safe for two things that can hurt people be together. She can make it more powerful if she tried.

Mom wasn't worried on the outside but I could tell she was because of what I told her. I remember breaking down when I started to talk. I never thought that I could be that afraid in my life.

Mabel and I are entering the school gates which were heavily guarded since the violence has gone up. We walked around the halls for a while because we came a little early. Everyone was just talking and hanging around the halls. We basically saw our whole class and another in the same hall. We saw our friends and went over to them.

"Hey you guys," Mabel smiled.
"Sup," Andrew mumbled.
"Hey you two," Star smiled.
"Hey," I smiled.
"How are you?" Lady Widow asked me.
"A little jumpy, but I'm fine," I answered.
"Great," Will said.
"I feel like something is going on today," Andrew confessed.
"No," Will said.
"We would have known," Mabel said.
"Maybe it's one of those surprises," Andrew mumbled.
"That's very true," Lady Widow said.
"Doing alright Pinetree?" Bill whispered.
"Yeah, everything is fine Bill," I whispered back.
"Can we have a little talk over there?" Bill tilted his head to an empty spot.
"Okay," I whispered.

Bill just lead me to the empty spot. My back was against the wall while I looked up at Bill with a soft smile.

"What's up?"

Bill places his hand on my head and gives me this warm smile that I barely see from him. I just look at him and smile softly, yet I ended up swaying back and forth like an idiot. When I noticed I stopped and just blushed.

"So," I mumbled.
"Just wanted to see how you were doing with everything," Bill said, "Things like that."
"I'm doing fine, Bill," I answered, "Just a little jumpy."
"You know you can tell me anything," Bill told me.
"I know," I replied quickly.
"You answered that so quickly," Bill said, "What's the rush?"
"I don't know," I mumbled.
"You sure," Bill came closer to me.
I pushed him away with my two fingers on his forehead, "No Bill."
"Don't be so mean Pinetree," Bill pouted.
"I'm not being mean," I told him.
"Yes, you are," Bill responded.
"Don't make me feel bad," I mumbled.
"Just teasing my little sapling," Bill placed his forehead on my mine.
"You're depromoting me to sapling," I said, "You're mean."
"Just teasing you," Bill smiled.
"Sapling isn't bad either," I mumbled.
"I'm good with nicknames," Bill felt so proud.
"You are," I said.

Bill just decides to tease me which I kind of like because it made me feel less jumpy. I don't know why his witty and quirky comments make me feel safe.

Don't get why you fall for this shit, Mason. It's just stupid shit.

Why does he have to be in my mind now? I don't care what he thinks but I just want him to shut up!

I won't because you're stuck with me like I'm stuck with you.

I ignored him as I listened to Bill with his flirtatious words.

This is just sad... Still, don't get why people in general fall for this.

Can you just be quiet? Why did I even respond back? He started to talk about things that'annoyed the both of us. I wanted to groan, but then I'll end up groaning in front of Bill.

"Pinetree you look pissed," Bill pointed out.
"I do?" I mumbled.
"Yeah, but it's like a puppy being mad," Bill said, "Cute."
"Aaaa...."

I covered my face and I wanted to yell at him for making me mad. Bill just chuckled as he removed my hands away from my face.

"Pinetree it's alright," Bill smiled.
"I know," I muttered.
"Are you going to keep your promise?" Bill asked.
"I will later," I told him,"When we're alone."
"O-Okay..."

The bell rang and I chuckled softly while Bill stuttered. "Let's go," I said pulling him towards our classroom.

From the corner of my eye, I see Mabel aggressively staring at me or Bill. Soul was finally somewhat on time for once which was nice.

We all sat down and watched Soul teach us about rescue stuff. It wasn't as boring as I thought because she brought little action figure robots.

I thought they were so cute because they had little facial expression and everything. Maybee came in and watched the little toys.

"Where did you get those?" Maybee asked.
"A place," Soul said
"Did she tell you guys?" Maybee asked.
"No," We answered.
"They look like the robots from that little toy shop downtown," Star commented.
"Star," Soul groaned.
"Thanks, Star!" Maybee raced away.

Maybee quickly raced out with small chuckled. Maybee and Soul have this brother and sister relationship.

It's pretty awesome! The bell rang and Soul told everyone to leave because she wanted to get ready for our next lesson.

Bill quickly got up and pulled me away from everyone else. Bill literary didn't talk as he pulled me to somewhere. I almost tripped because of Bill.

"Bill slow down," I whimpered.
"Just keep up with me!" Bill smiled.
"It's hard when I'm being dragged," I told me.

Bill stopped all of a sudden and held me. I was confused about what was going on.

"Where are we?" I asked.
"Hehe..." Bill just nervously laughed, "I thought this was a great spot to talk."
"Where are we anyway?" I asked.
"I found this spot in freshmen year which was I learned was the-"

Bill stopped talking and just looked at me.

"Bill?" I said.
"HA! The last part isn't important," Bill sounded awkward.
"Bill are you okay?" I asked.
"YES!"

I chuckled and looked at Bill as he kept laughing like that. I sat down and watched Bill pacing around until he noticed what he was doing.

"S-Sorry Pinetree," Bill muttered while sitting next to me.
"It's fine silly," I smiled.
"Is this private enough?" Bill asked me.
"Yeah," I said.
He can use this against us, Dipper. I'm only trying to look out for you and all you ever do is ignore me!

I felt Bill place his hand on top of mine. I look at him and he looks at me.

"Let's talk about this..." I look at my hand which was black.
"That...."
You treat me like a monster! I'm not a monster because I'm just another part of you that you ignore. I was scared too! I'm still scared that and that you'll ignore me because of what people say about us...
"Bill theirs another part of angels that no one else knows about," I said, "They said it was best to not tell anyone, but what the point? If others don't know when they'll be afraid of me once they find out."
"Pinetree..."
"We have two sides of us, one is light and another is dark," I explained, "We're confusing, I know. My hands turn black sometimes because I'm using the dark side, it's trying to come out..."
"So there's two of you," Bill said.
"Yeah," I muttered.
"Stories told me that the reason we have this was to be punished because of a mistake someone else did millions of years ago. Angels call the other part of them the fallen," I told him, "We try not to use them even if we really need too, we don't. They told me that they were evil and that we shouldn't even use them."

Should I even be telling him this?

"That they were untrustworthy and every angel has it. There are consequences with having this power which is confusing because it rather effects mentally or physically. I've never had a good dream in my life," I mumbled, "My mom can't sleep and when she does it's just constant nightmares like me, but she has it worse."
"So you're both afraid," Bill said in a straight face.
What did he say...
"W-What?" I said.
"You don't have to ashame or afraid because we don't know if those things are really true," Bill told me, "Before my mom died she would tell them there were two sides to everything even when it doesn't seem like that."
H-He thinks differently... W-What is this...feeling.
"Pinetree do you really think that all these stories are true? That something apart of you is something to be ashamed of," Bill placed his forehead on mine, "I just see this as another part of you that people made you hate."
"Thanks, Bill," I smiled softly.
"Just promise me that you'll talk to me when you need to," Bill told me.
"I will," I muttered
"Is this why you go to complete silence when I'm with you sometimes?" Bill questioned.
"I talk to him and I keep forgetting that he's basically me," I chuckled.
"Do you two talk to each other often?" Bill asked.
"Yeah but sometimes it's just stupid conversations," I admitted, "Or just him saying things that annoy the both of us."
"So is he just you?" Bill asked me.
"Basically, but he has his own opinions," I explained.
He's not that bad....
"Should we get back to the others?" I while standing you.

I was pulled into his arms and I looked at him with confusion.

"Let's keep talking," Bill suggested, "Just you and me."
"O-Okay," I muster out.
You picked a good one...
