Running out of Time <A Gravity Falls Book>

7.Sweet moments

I groan as my eyes open.
I look around and then at Dipper. He and I must have fallen asleep here. He was so cute!
I yawned. I lightly pushed him.
He groaned.
"Five more Minutes..." he said tired.
"Stan and Mabel are gonna be worried! Come on!" I say shaking him a bit harder. He opened his eyes. "Dipstick come on we gotta go now..." I say yawning again after.
"Your so cute..." he smiled. I blush.
"Come on sweet talker..." I say holding out my hand to help him up.
He takes it and i hand him his vest.
"Thanks." he says.
We walk out of the forest and when we arrive at the shack...Dipper turned me before I could open the door and bashed his lips into me one last time...
He let go and i blush.
He opened the door and we were immediately met by Stan.

"Dipper Pines! What were you thinking?! Where were you?! You completely dis-"

I stop Stan as I noticed Dipper was getting tense and having his head held down low. "It was my fault Stan..." he looked at me confusingly. Then his look at me angered. "Li-"
"I am the one who dragged him into the forest and He fell asleep and I didn't wake him up. So if your going to blame someone blame me." I say.
He shakes his head. "Well then Lilly... I am very disappointed in you. Y-your grounded...tonight."
Stan sighed. Then walked away.

"Lilly why did you do that?" Dip asked. My face looked a bit flushed."I don't know..." I mumbled.
"Yes Lilly...you do know..." he said.
"Are you alright?" he asked.
My mind was going blank.
"I am f-ine...I just need s-some time to thi-" My phone buzzed.

I looked at my phone and saw a message from the people who were supposed to raise me.... But refused.
I threw my phone and ran upstairs. "Wait lilly!" He said but I did not hear footsteps behind me.

The message was not in any cipher at all...

I cried. I slammed the door to the attic and put my knees close to me.
I never wanted to talk to them EVER AGAIN!

I heard the knock at my door. "Lilly... Please let me in..." Dipper sighed. "N-no..." I sobbed. He sighed. "Fine... I guess I am just gonna-"

"No wait!" I screamed not even thinking. I hurry over to the door and see him holding the phone.
He wiped a tear from my cheek.

"Please don't cry..." he said.
I sniffled. He cupped his hands on my face.
"You wanna tell me who Sarah and Patrick are?" He asked soothing me.

He let go of me as I was crying hard.
He stepped in and shut and locked the door behind him.
We sat on the ground on the sleeping bags we forgot to move and
He put his arm around me. "Patrick and S-sarah are m-my biological p-parents..." I sobbed a little less.
I put my head on dips shoulder and sniffled.
"So then why were you So upset to have them text you?"
He asked. I closed my eyes as more tears fell from my flustered cheeks.

"They n-ever did take care of m-me or a-anything. To them every b-birthday was a casual Saturday af-fternoon of s-colding me, every C-christmas I would h-ave alone in my room,and even on valenstine day when I was ar-round the age of 4 or 5 they w-would not even agknowlage th-at i was e-even a-alive! That's why dipper!" I say hugging Dipper.

"Shh... Its gonna be okay... I promise you Lilly pad." he cooed.
I dug my face into his neck hoping that I could just stay there forever.
It goes silent.
"Do you care if I ask you one more question?" he asked.
I smiled wanting to be a smart mouth. "You just did." I say And he chuckles and I do too but still have tears all over my pale face.

"How or why did you come to Gravity Falls then?" he asked.
I felt him running my back softly.
"Th-they sent me h-ere for the s-summer so they could see h-how much better life would get for their next two months." I say. We let go and He wiped a few more tears with his finger.

"Lilly...promise me that no matter what happens you will always
be kind and true to yourself especially when I am not around..." He paused for a moment. "...and don't EVER self harm yourself... even if it felt like the end of the world.
Remember that when you feel like you have no one that loves you, you have Me..." he finished and I was smiling through my tears and sadness.

"I promise Dipper...always and forever....."
