(Dipper pov)

Bill parks the car back outside our house. I gulp nervously as I look up at the house, feeling Bill gently holding my hand. "Everything okay?"

"Yeah, just....I know it's only been a few days but it feels like it was a whole lifetime ago since I was last here."

"We can wait here for as long as you want before going in."

"No, it's okay. I'm okay. Waiting out here won't do either of us any good anyway."

We get out of the car as he hands me the crutches and we head inside. I silently gasp seeing the entire house is lit up by candle light and rose petals are scattered all over the floor making paths that lead to every room in the house.

"Bill, what is all of this?"

"Well we never got that date night that I had planned for us so I came up with this while the doctors were running those extra tests on you. Do you like it?"

"Of course I do. This is wonderful."

He has me sit on the couch as he kneels in front of me holding my hands. Chester runs into the room and jumps on my lap. "He helped spread the rose petals a tiny bit. I honestly just let him make a mess out of the petals before I swept them into the path I needed."

"Little guy just wanted to help." I pet Chester as he licks my hand making me smile a little.

"Dipper, you changed my life. We both know that I wasn't a great person. Honestly I was a horrible person. But you made me want to be better. So I changed for you."

"Bill...."

"I'm sorry that I did this
The blood is on my hands
I stare at my reflection
I don't know who I am
Practice my confession
In case I take the stand
I'll say I learned my lesson
I'll be a better man

I'm packing up my things
And I'm wiping down the walls
I'm rinsing off my clothes
And I'm walking through the halls
I did it all for her
So I felt nothing at all
I don't know what he'll say
So I'll ask him when he calls

Would you love me more
(Would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hand?
(Would you hold my hand?)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you

Would you turn me in
(Would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when
(Would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you

I hear the sirens coming
I see the flashing lights
I'm driving through the suburbs
Wearing my disguise
I show up at his doorstep
To look him in the eyes
I tell him that it's me
But he doesn't recognise

Can't you see I'm running?
Said I need a place to hide
I've gotta ask you something
Could you please let me inside?
Just let me explain
No, I wouldn't tell you lies
I know you'll understand
If you let me stay the night

Would you love me more
(Would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hand?
(Would you hold my hand?)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you

Would you turn me in
(Would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when
(Would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you

You have to understand that
The one I killed is me
Changing what I was
For what you wanted me to be
I followed your direction
Did everything you asked
I hope that makes you happy
'Cause there's just no turning back

Would you love me more
(Would you love me more)
If I killed someone for you?
Would you hold my hand?
(Would you hold my hand?)
They're the same ones that I used
When I killed someone for you

Would you turn me in
(Would you turn me in)
When they say I'm on the loose?
Would you hide me when
(Would you hide me when)
My face is on the news?
'Cause I killed someone for you, yeah"

I cup his cheek in my hand as I softly kiss his forehead.

"I told you that no one was ever going to take me away from you. And I don't break my promises."

He smiles as he sits next to me and pulls me into his warm embrace.

"I know."
