DIPPER X BILL ONE SHOTS

Don't Let Me Go (Alternate Ending)

Like the last one, possible trigger warning. (Ps, thanks for over 500 reads already)

***Bill***

"Pine Treeee~" I look around another corner in the Mystery Shack. Still not there... huh. "Where are you?" This boy is the hardest to find... I go up to his room and find only Mabel. "Shooting Star, have you seen Pine Tree?"

She shakes her head. "Have you checked the basement?" I nod. "The roof? The attic? The fridge?" I nod even more. I hate it when this happens... he'll just suddenly disappear and suddenly reappear after an hour or two. No, today I will find him. "Maybe... oh!! Try the bunker in the forest?"

I raise my eyebrow. "The one that had the shape shifter? Oh yeah..."

"Yeah, that one. If he isn't there, then try around town."

"Thanks, Shooting Star!" I rush down out of the room and exit the Mystery Shack. I start floating quickly to the area where the bunker tree was and find it open. Weird... maybe he really is down there...

I start going down and enter through the door. First room is clear. I walk slowly until I reach the hole leading to the next room. "Pine Tree?" I say quietly. No response. I make it to the second room and still see nothing. I slowly walk, starting to get worried.

What if he's hurt? Or dying? Or both??

I start speeding up. "Pine Tree?" I say a bit louder. Still no response. Please don't be in here! And if you are, please just not be able to hear me! I enter the closet thing and let the decontamination thing happen and start walking through the cave. I see the frozen shape shifter in the form of Pine Tree when he was younger. It makes me shudder.

I start walking down one of the caves when I suddenly hear something.

"Useless!!" That's Pine Tree's voice! "You're useless!" I start floating, not wanting to be detected. "Selfish... attention whore... waste of space... piece of shit... useless!!" I can't hear anyone else... what's he doing? "You hurt the people you love... you waste their time... they don't deserve someone like you... they deserve so much better..." The closer I get, the louder he gets, and the more audible the cries in between each word get. "Mabel... Ford... Stan... even Bill..." WAIT!! IS HE TALKING ABOUT HIMSELF??? "Even a demon shouldn't have to deal with you... " I get closer, soon being able to see him. He sits on the floor, his back towards me. "You shouldn't be here..." For a second, I think that he's talking about me, but then, he speaks again. "You shouldn't be alive..."

"Pine Tree, you stop it right now!!" Whoops...

He suddenly turns and looks around. He looks in my direction and I see tears in his eyes. I walk over to him quickly and he just looks at me with fear in his eyes. "B-bill?? What are you doing here??" I let my eyes wander and see blood dripping down his arms onto the ground. I kneel down and see that the ground has a ton of his blood on it too.

"Pine Tree!" A sharp metal razor drops out of his hand. "What did you... why? Why are you saying these things?? They're not true!"

He cries as his whole body shakes. "Yes they are!!" He slightly backs up and I go towards him.

"Pine Tree, you aren't what you say. Stop believing it. Please."

"Who are you to say this??? Who are you to tell me anything?" He continues to back up, getting closer to a wall. "You haven't been in my head!!" He hits the wall and, to make sure he doesn't run off, I straddle him. "Get off!!" He tries pushing me away.

"Pine Tree, I'm a demon. I do and get what I want, and you can't push me off." He stops. "Good, now, tell me why."

"You know why!! You heard me... didn't you?" Tears stream down his face. "I'm a selfish bastard who shouldn't be here! I shouldn't be alive! I-"
