A Peculiar very Peculiar (Miss Peregrine's home for peculiar children)

*Note: the next week I'll go to the soctor because lately I'm not feeling very well, I'm feeling dizzy almost all day.

Anyway, I'll try to upload chapters everyday.

And one more thing, I'll go in holidays three days so it won't be a chapter until the 10th december, yes, in four days. Maybe in three if i feel good. But the 10, I'll retur with new chapters.

Have a good day and I'll see you in three or four days. Bye bye :)

...

The day had already restarted. That indicated that it was getting late and it was time to return or my father would worry about my absence. I figured it out, right after the day resets in the loop, it's the perfect time to leave. So that's what I did.

"See you tomorrow, Jacob" – said Olive.

"See you tomorrow" – Bronwyn said.

"Goodbye..." – Fiona said.

"See you tomorrow!" – Claire said.

"Goodbye, I hope we can soon spend a day just the guys. You know, to get to know each other better and that stuff" - Millard said.

"I share the same feelings as you. I would love to show Mr. Jacob my enormous progress in my wonderful book" – Horace nodded.

"Goodbye" - Enoch said simply.

Although he seemed to want to tell me something, but surely and due to his pride, he stopped and simply left.

The twins also looked at me as if they want to say: "Goodbye, see you tomorrow."

In conclusion, everyone said goodbye to me with a wide smile on their faces (except Enoch), hoping that tomorrow I would return again.

Since Jacob had arrived, everyone was much more happy. Yes, it's only been 3 days, but Jacob's presence brings happiness to all of them for some reason. Probably because, since Abe, no other peculiar had joined their small but wonderful family, so Jacob's presence there was novel and brightened the lives of all present. Or in the case of girls, maybe something else...

"See you all tomorrow" – I said with a smile.

I'm happy because everyone seems a little sad that I'm leaving. Yes, it seems cruel but for someone to feel sad because I'm no longer there... It's a wonderful feeling. You feel tickles in your stomach and you can't stop smiling no matter how much you want to. Feeling loved by someone is just wonderful. Family is the most important thing and although we have only been together for a short time, I feel at home. As if I had not just met them, as if I had been with them all my life. Hasn't something similar happened to you?

"Wait. I'll accompany you to the exit" – Emma said suddenly.

Quickly and without the rest having time to protest, Emma pulled my hand and we both headed towards the loop.

Once crossed, we met again on that small beach far from everything. A place where no one or almost no one went.

"Well Emma, see you tomorrow" – I said with a smile.

I was about to leave, but suddenly, Emma grabbed a corner of my shirt.

"What's wrong with you?" – I asked curiously.

"I don't know how to say it correctly" – Emma said somewhat blushing.

She seemed nervous about something. The question is: nervous for what reason?

"Go ahead, say what you think. I promise to listen to you seriously" – I said.

Emma nodded and gathered all her courage (which was not exactly little) to say what she had to say.

"I heard that you spent the whole day with Olive today... As if it were a date" – Emma said.

"Oh, it's that... Yes, it kind of ended up being kind of a date at the end" – I nodded.

Well, it was kind of a date. In fact, we even kissed. But naturally I'm not going to say those things in front of another girl who clearly has an interest in me. To form a harem one cannot rush. First he has to make the girls fall in love with you and then talk to them about it tactfully. Polygamy may not have been out of the ordinary at that time, but it's still best not to tempt fate or else I'd be seen as a gigolo whose only goal is to flirt with girls and I'm not like that.

"You could spend tomorrow with me!" – Emma said.

Huh, shouldn't that be a question and not a statement?

"Of course I can" – I nodded.

It seems that I don't even have to ask her for a date. Although I sincerely appreciate it because girls like Emma are very difficult to conquer. So I am deeply grateful that she was the one who took the first step.

"See you tomorrow then!" – Emma said.

And without letting me say another word, she turned to the loop and disappeared into it.

"I didn't even have time to ask her what time..." - I said somewhat surprised.

I could go back to the loop and ask her, but looking at the time on my Smartphone, I saw that it was very late and that if I didn't hurry, my father would scold me and right now I can't allow myself to anger my father. In the future it won't matter much, but right now I need him to give me the freedom I need. I can't make him angry because if I do, he'll want to go back to Florida and I don't want to return.

"Anyway, I'll come tomorrow at the same time" – I said.

I'm sure Emma will be waiting for me at the entrance of the loop by then. So... I suppose there is no problem regarding the schedule.

Having clarified the subject and with high expectations, I went to the hotel to have a quiet dinner with my father.

Cairnholm literally looks like a city that had been stuck in the Middle Ages. Although at least they had drains and generators. Otherwise I would have seriously believed that I hadn't gotten out of the loop yet. But when I arrived at the hotel and saw my father sitting in the chair drinking a huge mug of beer, I sighed.

"Dad, drinking beer again? You know mom doesn't like you drinking so much" – I said.

"Your mother is not here now! Besides, everything doesn't matter anymore... it doesn't matter" – my father said while taking a sip of his beer.

He seemed quite depressed even in spite of what I told him yesterday. Although most likely he doesn't even remember... In addition, technically today he said that he was going to explore the island. Why is he so sad if he have done tourism today?

"But I don't understand it. Can I know why you are so sad? You were supposed to go sightseeing today" – I said without understanding.

My father looked at me, then took a sip of his beer and stared straight ahead again.

"That's what I did. But then I went to the beach to see if, by sheer luck, that guy was gone" - my father explained.

"In short, he was still there. Am I wrong?" – I said.

My father didn't say anything, but it wasn't necessary because his expression spoke for him.

"You should stop drinking now, anyway. Even if mom isn't around, that doesn't mean you can get drunk" - I sighed.

In my previous life I was not very fond of alcohol. I was a wine lover. I loved to drink a glass of wine to relax, but other than that... I preferred not to drink alcohol or smoke. It's funny. Normally someone of my position is very likely to smoke, but I decided not to do so. I tried it but I didn't like it.

"It's the same, Jacob..." – my father said.

I'm a little fed up with his childish attitude so I grabbed him by force and dragged him into his room. Thanks to my great strength, my father could not resist being dragged upstairs. Although he did not seem to resist either.

After opening his room with the key he kept in the left pocket of his pants, I laid him on the bed and covered him with the blanket so that he would not catch a cold.

"Thank you..." – my father said before closing his eyes.

Without saying a single word, I went to my room and after charging my phone I lay down on the bed.

"My father's inferiority complex and defeatist attitude is probably due to my grandfather. Sometimes, if a parent is absent from their child's education, these kinds of problems usually happen" – I said to myself.

Most likely, this inferiority complex is due to what he suffered in his childhood because of my grandfather. At least I hope that what Grandpa did on those trips was worth it. I hope that leaving his family and loved ones has served a purpose.

"I'm sorry, grandpa. But I will never abandon my family for anything in the world. I'm not like you in that regard. For me, family is the most important thing" – I said to myself.

No one could hear me. No one could answer me, but I still felt I had to say it. It was a strange feeling.

"Anyway, tomorrow I will spend the day with Emma, so I better rest to have as much energy as possible" – I said.

After putting on my pajamas, I lay down in bed and closed my eyes as I thought about everything that had happened today and what could happen tomorrow.

The date with Olive was amazing, but I must admit that it hurt me to turn her down. I just hope that she clarifies her feelings as soon as possible before the peculiarity takes effect.

As I thought about it, little by little my eyes closed and soon, I fell asleep.

*Note: I didn't forget about the rewards, so don't worry.

…

The next morning.

After getting up, getting dressed, and having breakfast, it was time to head straight to the orphanage, where Emma would surely be waiting for me at the entrance of the loop.

By the way, my father didn't say much over breakfast. In fact, he didn't even ask me where I would go today or what I would do. He looked much sadder than usual.

"If only I could help him... But what he needs is a psychologist" – I sighed.

I think that, from the beginning, he was the one who needed the psychologist and not me. Unfortunately, although I understand a lot about some things, psychology is not my strong point and I cannot help a person who is in such conditions much. The best thing my father could do is go to a psychologist to help him overcome his inferiority complex. In fact, I will propose it to him in the future. For now, I'll focus on enjoying the peculiars and having fun.
