They're Shy Together

Need You Now

Normal POV

Dipper stood motionless as the man in front of him, fell to his knees, blood seeping out of a hole that now occupied his lower stomach. Dipper looked back to see Shy standing there, her golden-purple eyes filled with tears. "S-shy?" he asked and she pointed back to where the man was standing. A female police officer was now putting handcuff on the man while he struggled. "We've been after you a long time, Gorden. Finally caughtcha in the act." An ambulance and multiple squad cars, pulled up to the scene. Handing Gorden over to another officer, the woman approached the teens. "I'm Officer Rose, are you kids alright?" Shaking, Dipper said, "Y-yes, we're fine....wh-who is t-that guy?" Pulling out a pair of keys, the officer undid Shy's cuffs and explained. "That guys is a well-known pedophile and rapist. We've been after him for six months but was never able to get clear evidence until now. I'm sorry you two had to go through that, and i'm glad we got here in time." Shy rubbed her wrist and silent thanked the woman for her help. "You two, gonna be alright?" Dipper nodded and grabbed Shy's hand, leading her to the barely damaged truck. "D-do you just want to go back to the house?" he asked the girl. She shook her head. "We have to have something to eat tonight, unless you want take out?" "Take out. Take out will do." Dipper said and started the car.

The two drove in silence on the way back to the house, neither knowing what to say. "Shy, I'm sorry I-" The girl cut him off, refusing to let him continue. "It's fine." Her voice was quiet, more than usual making Dipper uneasy. He didn't try to speak again until they reached the house. "Hey, do you want to um watch a movie or something?" Shaking her head, Shy got out of the truck and waited silently by the door as Dipper unlocked it. "I'm going to go to my room...and get some rest." Shy said as she quietly made her way to the room. Dipper remained quiet and took his equipment upstairs to his room. Luckily, none of it was damaged in the crash. He decided to get the money out of his case from earlier and play again. Time for a new song, He thought. This time, the beginning of the song was kind of slow and sad as it looped. After the extra cords were looped, Dipper sang to himself, but loud enough for shy to hear from her room.

"Run away with me

Lost souls and reverie

Running wild and running free

Two kids, you and me

"And I say

Hey, hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Hey hey hey

Hey hey hey

Living like we're renegades

Renegades, renegades"

Shy sat quietly in the corner of the room,listening to Dipper sing. Tears streamed down her cheeks as she pulled her knees to her chest and cried. She was afraid, not only from being taken, but from almost losing her only friend and not being able to do a thing. "H-he could have d-died today...and i-it would've been my fault!" She cried as her eyes swirled in a fury of purple and gold. "Our fault.." She repeated. Dipper stopped because he could hear shy's sadness through the wall, then his phone rang. Ignoring it, he set down his instrument and left his room to go check on her. "Shy.....Poison..... Which ever one of you...... can we talk?"Shy pulled her legs closer,but didn't answer, and hoped her silence was enough to make him go away. But he kept knocking and knocking, waiting for her to respond.Finally the girl answered, "WHAT?! What could you possibly want right now?!" Feeling like the asshole he was made to be in school, Dipper stopped knocking and walked away from the door to go outside. "Nevermind then.....i'll leave you alone....."
