1. The Decision

Jacob's POV

'Damn it dad' I think to myself. I'm currently standing on the beach with my dad as he sets up our tent. It is pouring cats and dogs and I'm soaked. Dad thought it would be a great idea to camp on the shore so he'd have an early start for birdwatching,and decided to drag me along with him. 'Calm down Jake in two days you can finally stay with Emma' I think to myself as I watch him finish setting up our tent. I've finally made up my mind, after this little camping trip with my dad I'm packing my stuff and moving into miss Peregrine's loop. I've been bouncing at the thought of being with Emma forever in our own little paradise. Ever since she brought me to the inside of her shipwreck hideout I haven't been able to stop thinking about her.

3 Hours LaterI'm laying in my sleeping bag listening to the rain as it falls. I can't sleep, all I've been thinking about is my friends,Emma, and miss Peregrine.

'I wonder that they're doing now?' I think to myself. I check my phone for the time and see that it is 10 pm. I look at my dad and see him fast asleep.

'That's it I'm moving into that loop NOW' I decide. I quietly pack up all my stuff from the tent and sneak into the priest hole. I grab my stuff from there and write a quick letter to my dad.

Dear dadI'm sorry to leave without saying goodbye. But I can't take the pills,Dr. Golan,and the way you and mom look at me like I'm breakable anymore. I met some people that knew grandpa and they've invited me to stay with them. Please don't try to look for me, you won't succeed. I love you and mom and hope you'll forgive me one day. -Love Jacob M. PortmanI set the note on his bed and sneak out the window and down the drainpipe with my stuff. I hurry into the loop while making sure I'm not being followed. I walk up to the house and see a few of the lights on. I carefully and quietly get inside and lock the door behind me. I enter the living room and don't see anyone in there.

'I should sleep here tonight, I don't want to wake anyone' I think to myself.I take off my shoes and put my stuff next to on of the couches. Then I lay down on the couch and drift off to sleep, happy to finally be home.
