Do You ℓσνє Me

Chapter 8, Always There

Pacifica's POV
I looked up to see who it was.

I gasped.

"Dipper?" I asked in confusion. He extended his hand to me, I gladly took it.

"Why are you crying?" He asked, in a very determined and concerned voice. I instantly covered my face with my sleeve, hoping to hide the tears he already saw. It was a stupid idea, but I didn't have any choice.

"I-I'm not c-crying..." I stuttered, tears choking me as I said it.

All of the sudden, I felt him hold my hand, leading me to somewhere. As I opened my eyes to see where, I saw us standing near a cliff edge. I could see the whole forest up here, I could feel the wind drying my tears. But it still wouldn't cheer me up.

"Why are we here?" I asked in genuine confusion.

"You have problems? Let it all out here, where no one can hear you." He answered, half screaming.

"What?! No! Let's just... Go back to town." I said, as I turned around.

"No! You can't keep it in, you need to let it all out! Like this, I HATE MY LIFE!!!" He screamed, which made me stop, and look at him in hesitation.

"LET GO, PACIFICA!!!" He shouted. Staring at me with his determined eyes.

I built up my breath, screaming,"WHY DOES EVERYONE HATE ME?! WHY DOES EVERYONE HAVE TO HURT ME?! WHY DO YOU NEED TO HURT ME?! I HATE YOU!!!" I could hear Dipper, screaming with me. I could hear, birds flying away in fear. I could hear the dismay and fear in both me and Dipper's voice. Tears strolled down my face like waterfalls.

"WHY DO I NEED TO CHANG WHO I AM?! WHY?! Why? Why..." I screamed, breaking down in tears. I stood there, hiccuping in tears.

As I was bursting into tears, I felt a sudden warmth, wrapped around me. Dipper had wrapped his arms around me, I hugged back. I curled up in a ball in his arms, sobbing into his shoulder, gripping his shirt, as if holding onto my life. I burried my head into his neck, sobbing uncontrollably, as I felt him tapping my back.

"It's ok... I'm here... I gotcha..." He comforted, I hiccuped as I calmed down. I tried to stop crying, but tears were still flowing from my cheeks. I could feel his shoulder was soaked from my tears. Wind blowing wild, birds chirping crazy, sky becoming a bit dark, but the rain seized to drop.

We walked down to the pond, not letting go of his hand, We sat by it.

"What's your story?" He asked, looking really concerned.

I decided to calm down, and just tell him,"My old bully came here, and he was actually cousins with the guy I the party. I hate him! He bullied me ever since first grade! And... UGH! I hate him! Anyway... You?"

"Iiiit's kinda personal..." Dipper said, with hesitation, extending the 'I'.

"Please? I won't tell anyone! Cross my heart, and hope to fly, stick the cupcake in my eye!" I begged, saying the line from My Little Pony, Friendship is Magic.

He turned to the pond, staring at his reflection, and sighed,"My dad came home from his business trip."

"That doesn't seem that bad to me. Why are you running away then?" I asked, really confused. I mean, shouldn't he be happy that his dad came back?

"A few years ago, I saw my dad, making out with another woman... I-I didn't tell them... Coz... He was making them happy... And... I don't want them to experience the pain that I have experienced... I love them too much to let them know the truth..." I sat there, shocked and heart brokened, moved by speech he just said. I glanced at my reflection, then his. I could see the hurt and dismay in his eyes, the frown on his face.
