Next time someone complains that you have made a mistake, tell him that may be a good thing. Because without imperfection, neither you nor I would exist. -Stephen Hawking
The fire goes out and I hear a pop from behind me. A blue circle floats behind me. My eyes widen at the sudden appearance of the circle. That's why the story had so much emotion. It was Bill's life story.
"I did it! 10,000 deals! Turn me back!" Bill yells. The blue circle snaps and with a bright light Bill is turned into a human.
"Bill, kid, I'm sorry..." The circle says quietly
"Why? You turned me back! Why would you be apologizing?" Bill asks in confusion.
"Well, you're not completely human. Though you have a human body and emotions... You still have demon powers." The demon answer.
I turn to Bill. His face was hidden behind a curtain. He didn't talk. Nobody did. It was so quiet you could hear a pen drop. It was so quiet I could hear his tears as they hit the floor.
"I... I'm still not normal? I still have those powers? I could still go power crazy?" Bill asked. The blue circle just looked at the ground.
Bill looked up. He had blond hair, and was wearing suit. He had a black eyepatch over one eye and the other eye looked golden. In his gold eye there were tears. The tears fell from his eyes to the ground in a steady stream. It took all I had to stay quiet and not comfort him.
"I'm very sorry." The circle says before disappearing from sight. After he leaves Bill falls to the ground. He sits on his knees, hands covering his face as he lets out quiet sobs.
"I thought I could start over... I thought I could do good this time... I thought I could be normal now..." I hear him say between his sobs.
I sit on the ground next to him. I put my arm around his shoulder. I didn't know why, but I couldn't stop myself from comforting him. He leans into me as he cries. Soon he stops. His breathing evens out and I realize that he is asleep.
I knew I couldn't pick him up. He's to big. I sigh. I lay my head on his shoulder. I guess I'll have to sit here and wait for him to get up.

"Dipper? Are you awake?" A voice asks. I jump a bit, startled by the sudden noise. I hear a laugh and turn to see Bill looking at me.
"Stop laughing at me." I say as I feel my face heat up. Bill laughs harder. The laughing stops as I hear a thud and an ow. I turn to see Bill fallen on the floor. He rubs his head.
I laugh as his face turns red. He just stands up and starts to walk away. I slowly let my laughter fade.
"Where are you going?" I ask him curiously. He shrugs, and I raise an eyebrow.
"Well, I'm suspecting that you're probably wanting me out of here, so... You know. I'll just leave." He says scratching the back of his head awkwardly.
"I'm fine with you staying here until you find a place to stay. I mean it'd be nice to have someone here who could actually talk back." I say laughing. As if on cue my house mate bounces to my room.
"Who's this?" Bill asks looking at the silver boopy. Silvio bounces to him before nudging him and trying to get Bill to pet him. Bill pets him smiling.
"That's Silvio. He seems to like you." I say with a smile. Bill smiles to and pets Silvio more. Silvio leans into his touch and purrs like a cat. It was adorable to say the least.
"Now, Dipper... I guess now would be a good time to finish up that deal." Bill says. I nod as I realize something. He probably doesn't even want to be around me. No one ever has wanted me around for long, why would he be any different?
"Yeah, let's get going." I answer. We start to walk out of the house and as we leave I grab my phone and some money just in case.

Hi! I know this is shorter than normal, but I'm tired from being nervous all day and I'm going on a school trip tomorrow so I'll have to cut this short. Thanks for reading!
