Do You ℓσνє Me

Chapter 11, Always There, part IV

"Oh yeah. I was meaning to ask you... What were you like before we met?" I asked, but regretted it, when I saw the look of shock in his face. He kinda jumped back from the question. And I actually noticed his face was getting red.

"Um... It's kinda... Complicated..." He looked down at his ice cream, sadness in his eyes. Seeing him sad, made me sad. I don't like seeing people upset like this, especially Dipper.

"Do you wanna talk about it?" I said, softly, trying not to push him.

"Just like I said, it's complicated. But I can show you." He answered.

"Ok. But... How can you do that?" I asked.

He raised his hand up, a turquoise blue aura surrounding it. It looked so peaceful, so genuine, so... Magical.

"Woah..." I said, amazed. I leaned in closer to examine the aura. When he waved his hand in front of my eyes. I was suddenly engulfed by a blue light, when it finally faded, I saw something.

I was in a room, the people who own this house must've been wealthy. I saw a cradle, rocking side to side, ever so peacefully. I walked to the cradle, there I found two little babies, and it looked like they were only a few weeks old. They were twins, a girl and a boy, by the looks of their onesies. They look so cute, as I reached out to touch the boy, the room suddenly flashed white.

It faded back into color, but the cradle was gone. I was still in the same room. I heard voices behind me, and turned to look who it was. I saw the same boy and girl in the room, playing with their toys, joy in their faces. I examined the twins, they look so familiar, but I just can't put my finger on it. I walked toward them, when my vision flashed into white again.

It faded into color once again. Now, I was by a toy shop. Telling by my surroundings, this must be 'Timmy's Toys' in Gravity Falls. I was going to lean on the glass outside the shop, and examine the toys, when I heard a high pitched scream. I snapped my head towards the sound, to find the little girl screaming and pointing at a beautiful doll in the shop, she was throwing a tantrum. I glanced at her parents, who had annoyed faces, and bought the super expensive doll.

Then, it flashed into white again, and backed to color. A montage of the little girl growing up, it was all full of tantrums, no matter how old she was, she was growing up to be a spoiled brat. Then she was about 12 years old, she looks so familiar. And this familiar feeling doesn't make me feel good. I examined the girl, she had long, wavy brown hair; A blue vest and blue skirt; and a turquoise gem on her hair band... Wait... This is... MABEL?!

My vision turned into white Again, and faded back to color. Now, it's a montage of the boy growing up. The first little scene I saw was, his father, training him into being a gentleman. The father had a bell in his hands, and whenever he rings the bell, the boy seems to be in pain. This carried on. I saw his face, expressionless. No smile, no laugh, no nothing... But his eyes told another story, his eyes were, gloomy, sad, depressed...

Now, he was 12 years old. He was peeking in a bedroom, as he turned back , he looked upset. A tear dropped from his eye, he quickly whipped it away. He stood straight, face, expressionless, but eyes, depressed. Then he slowly, walked back to his room, like a king walking to his throne. I stepped to the door, and peeked inside. I saw his dad, and a lady, doing things... Things they shouldn't be doing...

How does he handle this so well? I thought.

I looked at the boy, examining his details. Eyes, as blue as the sky. Hair, as wavy as the waves, it covered part of his forehead, ever so perfectly. Lips, so full, so...attractive. The sight of him just made me blush. I stared at him, as my face soften.
