(Post Abe- Pre Jacob mostly. The children didn't get Jacob he found his way to the house)

Third Person P.O.V

The house was chaotic. Ever since Horace's vision no one could keep their mouths shut. Horace had a vision about a new boy who would be coming, apparently he was Abe's grandson.

Emma was worried he'd turn out just like Abe, Olive was worried about Enoch being harsh towards the new kid, Hugh was excited seeing as though he couldn't wait for a new friend, Bronwyn didn't really care as long as he was decent towards her peculiar family, Claire was always shy around new people, Fiona was not even sure what to feel, Horace was scared that he would hurt one of his housemates and was Y/N was ecstatic.

But Enoch looked more annoyed than usual. Like way more annoyed. No one really knew why, they just guessed that it was from Abe leaving.

Well today was the day that Miss P. told everyone he would be coming. Y/N was most excited, she always did this when something different was happening. She had been talking non stop, couldn't sit down, and constantly ate anything that Fiona would grow for her.

At one point her Y/P got a little out of hand and she ended up scaring half the house. So naturally when the doorbell rang she screamed not being able to control her hyperness.

When he arrived he kept looking at everyone strangely. He looked at the group of us who were standing in the doorway.

"Y-you're Emma and you're Olive and Bronwyn and the twins and you're Millard and Y/N! But how could that be?" The boy thought out loud.

"How could what be?" Y/N asked curiously.

"You're all dead. You died a long time ago. So how are you here? Are you ghosts? Wait! Am I dead?!" The boy asked annoying Millard and Y/N.

"No you're not dead, and neither are we." Millard said confusing the boy even more.

"So-" Y/N cut him off before he could say something stupid.

"Just come with me and I'll explain." Y/N smiled even though she felt as if she could get in trouble if she blabs too much to this new kid.

"Okay. Oh and by the way I'm Jacob." he said with an awkward smile.

...

(After awhile of explaining)
"So that's the thing that killed my grandpa? A hollow? Well why aren't we out there tracking them down?!" Jacob asked getting kind of annoyed.

"Calm down J we can't do that because we can't even see them." The Y/H/C haired girl explained. Jacob looked astonished.

"What do you mean you can't see them? Wait are you guys blind?" He asked sounding genuinely sad and sorry.

The girl gave a small laugh. "No we aren't blind. They are invisible J that's your peculiarity. You see the monsters."

"So what's yours if you don't mind me asking." He asked nervously.

The girl looked around then showed him exactly what she could do. (sorry if yours is something permanent or that is obvious.) She looked back at Jacob and saw that his eyes were wider than golf balls. She laughed, pretty loudly actually.

Both Jacob and Y/N turned their heads at the sound of someone clearing their throat.
They looked up to see Enoch, a boy Jacob hadn't met yet, scowling at them.

"Hello Enoch, this is-" The boy cut her off.

"I know who he is. Miss Peregrine wanted me to inform you that supper is about ready. Therefore he can go home now and you can get inside and wash up." Enoch said rudely before turning back towards the house.

"What's his problem?" Jacob asked Y/N.

"I don't know he usually is kind of grumpy, but never towards me." Y/N said looking down.

What neither of the two knew was that Enoch had stopped walking and had a look of sorrow upon his face. The truth was he liked Y/N, maybe even loved her. But he could already see what would happen, he would fall in love, tell her, and have this new kid be the reason Y/N wouldn't love him back. It was at this moment he knew he had to block her out to keep his feelings under control.

...
(Later at Supper)

Everyone was seated, even Millard who'd decided he didn't feel like clothes today. Jacob came in, to Enoch's surprise, and looked around nervously. Instead of sitting next to Emma, where everyone thought the seat was empty, not noticing the floating fork and knife, Jacob say next to Y/N. To say Enoch was pissed was an understatement.

"Well then, now that everyone is here, let's eat." Miss Peregrine said from the head of the table.

Everyone was eating and enjoying themselves, except for Claire who was a little shy.

"Aw come one Claire, trust me I know Jacob won't make fun of you, he's better than that." Y/N smiled warmly at the little girl.

Enoch scoffed, loudly for everyone to hear.

"What's wrong?" The girl with H/C hair asked curiously.

"Enoch's just jealous, it's because you're giving Jacob all the attention." Horace laughed.

Enoch looked at him then at Y/N. "There's nothing to be jealous of, he'll be gone soon. Just like Abe." he looked at Emma who was just previously laughing rather loud. She stopped immediately, eyes wide.

She stood unbuckling the straps from around her waist and stormed away. Everyone turned to Enoch who looked like he didn't have a care in the world.

"Oh come on, they can laugh at me, but as soon as I hurt someone else's feelings I'm the bad guy?" Enoch asked before storming off as well. Y/N could've sworn he had tears in his eyes. So of course she got up after excusing herself.

She followed closely behind Enoch. Just before he could slam his door she slid in.

"What do you want, Y/N?" Enoch asked harshly.

"What's up with you? You've been acting so bitter since you heard Jacob was arriving. You're acting like a prick and I'm not the only one that's noticed it." Y/N said through her watery eyes. She didn't even know why she was tearing up.

"What's up is that I don't want you getting hurt like Emma did when Abe left. And I definitely don't want him staying!" Enoch said his voice carrying.

"Why? What's so wrong with him staying?! Do you think it's just going to be us forever? Because it won't. Things change, and I like change!" Y/N didn't even realize she was yelling through the tears that has just fallen freely down her face.

"No I'm scared that I'll lose you to him. I don't want that to happen, I've never had the courage to speak up. I like you. I like you a lot. And I'm scared that I might be falling in love with you, if I haven't already. But if course you already have feelings for Jacob. This is what I was afraid of, this is what scares me, losing you." He ended on a whisper and the girl just couldn't help herself. She leaned towards him on her tip toes and kissed him.

It didn't take long for him to kiss back either. He enjoyed this, he'd actually dreamt of this before. And now it was happening.

They broke apart.

He leaned his forehead down on hers.

She chuckled,
"So that's why you were being so mean?" He gave her a confused look.

"What do you mean?"

"You were jealous?" She smiled and left the room with a blushing Enoch soon chasing after her.

...

Sorry, I know I promised before Christmas but a lot came up and I've been helping a lot of friends who have a lot of problems and yeah. But I hope you liked it, if not just let me know what you didn't like and I'll try to improve.
