Two boys with issues (ParaPines Fanfiction)

Chapter 2

Dipper felt an awfully sinister feeling that racked his whole body. It started from a slight discomfort, but it grew until it woke him from his sleep. He sat up straight, his body hot yet his skin in a cold sweat. He was shaking and his breathing was unnecessarily fast. He removed his shirt and turned on his ceiling fan to try and cool himself down, but the off feeling wouldn’t leave.  A sudden urge to look out his window came over him and as he did, a dark shadow quickly past by his open window and he knew exactly what it was. Dipper turned on his lamp to dim and he got up and shut the window before closing the curtains. He knew that monster had been watching his bedroom, he knew it must have followed him or watched from a distance to his house. Dipper looked at his clock and notice it was nearly three in the morning, but he was in no way ready to fall back asleep, so he pulled his laptop up onto the bed and comforted himself with good music and movies.

The sound of birds told him that it was close to sunrise and he parted his curtains slightly to see the yellow beginning of the morning sky painted delicately above the distant hills. He knew what morning awaited him and his bruised body throbbed, reminding him that he was going to have a difficult time. The time was nearly five thirty so he got up and clumsily pulled his socks and shorts off, grabbing his towel off the door to have an early morning shower. Once he was refreshed and fully awake, he came downstairs quietly to get some food. The only real light in the house being the fridge light. He was just about to take his sandwich back upstairs when a sound at the door made him freeze. He glanced over to see a familiar silhouette turning the door handle and slipping into the house. Immediately Dipper relaxed and walked over to Mabel.

“Dad’s going to throw a fit! Where the fuck were you?” Dipper said in amusement. 

“I was with Oscar, but to dad I was always in bed. Got it?” She threatened.

“Yeah yeah yeah I got it, I’m not going to pull you out sis.” he chuckled.

“Why are you up so early anyway?”

“Oh, I have to help dad help the new neighbours move.”

“We have new neighbours?” Mabel said in surprise. She was speaking in the loudest whisper he had ever heard.

“Yeah, the Babcocks or something… Apparently there is a brother and a sister and their mom.”he said.

“Oh okay,” Mabel said before walking towards the stairs. “Well I’m going to bed, and if Dad asks you if you knew where I was, say no.” 

“Right.”

Mabel had met this guys named Oscar, she had been sneaking out to see him a couple of nights already, and like always Dipper had to cover for her. Dipper shook his head and walked back up to his bedroom. He pulled on a T-shirt and opened his curtains again, quickly checking the view outside for any lingering creature that was watching the house. About an hour later he heard the shower going and he knew his dad was up and not far after him would be mom so he came downstairs to have breakfast with her before being forced to suffer physical labor. She had already started the bacon and eggs and as he said good morning and poured himself a glass of orange juice he began to butter the toast and bring the plates to the table. 

It was nearly Eighty thirty and Mabel and finally come back out of her room. She had done an excellent job at making her pajamas and hair resemble a homeless girl who had just sat in the middle of a tornado to convince everyone she had been sleeping all night. She yawned good morning before pulling out a chair at the table and ‘struggled’ to keep her eyes open. Mr. Piness began to clear his throat and Dipper knew the exact words he was about to say. Word for word.

“So, Where were you last night Mabel?” He said, looking up to Mabel.

“I didn’t feel well yesterday, so I went up to my room and I fell asleep.” She said, pouring herself a glass of juice and sipping from the glass.
