Running out of Time <A Gravity Falls Book>

11.Lying

( Wow... Only about 2 weeks and we are almost at 100 reads?!
I am super surprised! Thank you guys so much! )

Dippers POV

I played with Lillies hair. Twirling it and feeling it through my fingers. Her hair was the prettiest red color.
But I wouldn't consider her a ginger like some people do...
( *nudge nudge* Katie.... You know who you are! )

I smile. The rain came pouring down hard. But not as hard as last night.
I wonder what she is thinking about? I ask myself.

I asked myself that question at least once a day now...
I was worried for her.
I don't think she should have ever gotten in voiced with bill...
And even if Gideon was a tad nicer than usual, I still didn't trust him.

Never again...
I sigh. I look at lilly, fast aeep, and then at the clock. 7:45
I thought about yesterday's events.
I know what Bill had meant at This point.
Lilly wanted to protect us and then he put her in responsibility of that.... Putting pressure on her...

"Don't worry Lilly pad..." I whisper.

Lillies POV

I open my eyes and yawn.
I could feel Dipper playing with my hair.
"Whatcha' doing..." I say tired.
He immediately stops.
"Nothing!" he says. I giggle.
"It's okay Dipper." I say
Quietly.

He takes a deep breath. I look at him and smile. "You okay?" I asked.
He just sighed. Staring in my eyes.
"I am just not feeling well. Nothing serious." he said.
I rolled my eyes. Then I escaped his grasp and stood up.
"Did I say something?" he asked.
Well first off... "No just thinking." you lied to me. "About what?" he asked again. Everything.
"Just stuff like...I don't know, Gideon and Bill." I respond.

"Oh..." he said. "So now that you have powers...what are gonna do with them?" he asked.
Today didn't feel right. I was very... Mad. "Get did of them." I admit.

"What?! Why?" he asked. I shake my Head. I didn't want to be asking a thousand questions right now.
"A head shake is not enough, Lilly." He says.
My anger was boiling up.
But don't ask me why... Because at This point. I felt powerless to my own body.

Dippers POV

"Well that's all your getting!" she says. She turns and her eyes were angry. I was confused. I had done something wrong. I just know it.
But what? "L-lilly, What's wrong? What did I do wrong?" I asked.
She tensed a bit more.

Lilly's POV

"Everything... Dipper. Ever since I got here I feel like I have been lied to. Betrayed in so many ways.
I can't just have someone tell me the truth! And it hurts! Like I can't be trusted. And Dipper.... It may hurt to know the truth...but it hurts even worse to know that your being lied to..." I say.

Tears were streaming down my face. I slipped on my winter boots, that I wear all year, and slammed the door leaving to be alone.

This time I decided to just go off to the forest but near the creek.
I walked through all the tall trees and when I made it to the creek, sat down next to it. There was a small waterfall that made a calming water sound.

I cried lightly. I pulled my knees to my chest and lied my head down.
I sniffled.
Dipper probably hates me now. He probably is gonna break up with me and leave me to pick up the pieces by myself.
Alone. I remember what he said...

/\Flashback/\

We walked into My room and He hugged me. "Lilly...your Not afraid of the dark..." he said. I looked at him confusingly. "Your only afraid of being alone in the dark...but your not alone." he said. I smiled and yawned. "Never will you even half to be alone. I promise." he says. I nod. "Thank you. Dipper." I respond. "No problem Lilly pad." he says and I blush. "Goodnight. And remember...if you need anything you can count on me." He said.
