TW: Overdose 

There you were, you were sitting in the garden and you were peacefully reading your book. You could hear the children playing in the background and you were doing surprisingly well. You hadn't been doing this well in a long time, but there was someone who didn't seem to be doing so well. Miss Peregrine...

She seemed down, you never asked why but maybe you should have... You started to think about her when you heard a scream. You threw your book into the garden and you started running, you didn't care that you weren't in the best shape. You kept running as fast as you could past the children that were playing. you reach the house and you look around. "what happened!!" you yelled

You saw Claire who was crying "M-m-miss- sh- she" "she what!" you panicked and ran past her and into her bathroom where she found Miss Peregrine lying unconscious on the floor. You gasped and kneeled down to her and shook her gently, that was when you noticed a bottle of pills that was once full but was not empty "NO!" you yell.

She picked up the woman even though it was difficult for you, the woman was not heavy but she was taller than you meaning carrying her was awkward. You brought her up to her room and you laid her in her bed.You panicked.Miss Peregrine was laying lifeless and was slipping away by the minute. You looked around and thought of anything you could possibly do to save her but you couldn't think of anything.

You ran downstairs and you found Emma standing at the bottom of the stairs "Is she alright?" You shook your head no and looked around in shock. "Calm down y/n, we will figure this out" Emma tells you "fast, we need to do it fast" you tear up and Ema brings you to the kitchen. She grabbed something out of the cupboard and filled a cup with water. You watch her and she pours a ton of salt into it and she brings you back up to Miss. Peregrine. "Go get a bucket" you were confused about what was happening but you did what she said.

You come back and the blonde is pouring the salt water down Miss. Peregrine's throat, Emma holds the bucket you got and you both wait for a response from Miss. Peregrine. You sigh as you do so you hear movement. Alma woke up slightly and threw up in the bucket, she threw up the contents of the pills she swallowed and you looked at her with concern "That should be enough but if she seems to still me doing badly, there is more salt water" Emma stood up and began to leave, you nod "thank you" you mumble and sat down with the woman.

Emma nodded and left the room, leaving you and Alma together. You leaned over and hugged the woman. You tried to not hug her too tightly but you were so happy to see that there was a possibility that you still were hugging her too tight. You let go immediately when you heard the woman under you groan, she was in pain "Oh oh... i'm sorry" you whisper and Alma slowly opens her eyes to look at you

You start to tear up "Why... why would you do something like that..." You asked her and she looked down sighing gently. You weren't sure if she couldn't talk or if she just did not want to. You raise one of your eyebrows at the woman and you sigh "you scared me... why didn't you just come talk to me... I could have helped you" You tell her and you frown slightly. Alma looked up at you and then looked away, you could see the tears pooling in Alma's eyes and you sighed. You laid down in the bed and you cuddled up to the woman.

"It's alright dear... it's alright." you whispered to the woman and Alma just nuzzled her head into your neck "I'm supposed to take care of you..." She said, her voice shaky. "It's alright I'm here and sometimes you might need some help. And that's ok" She only nodded in response and closed her eyes. The woman must have been exhausted and you could tell so you just allowed her to lay her head on your chest and fall asleep. You monitored her breathing as she was sleeping so that you could make sure she was ok and a few hours later she woke up again.

"Good morning Dove" You liked to call her that because she could turn into a bird. You looked down and saw Alma blushing slightly. You smile and play with her hair that was currently down and ruffled up. It was a mess but it was a cute mess. You play with her blue hair as she continues to slowly wake up. She had started to feel better and could actually sit up now.

She stretches tall and you watch over her carefully to make sure that she would be alright. You were pretty worried about her the whole time since she had just had an overdose but maybe she bounces back quickly and maybe they had gotten to her just in time before things got a lot worse. You held her hand and she squeezed it back "thank you..." Alma said softly and you nod "why...?" you ask again and she looked at you slightly shocked "can we talk about this layer y/n?" you nodded again and sighed "fine"

She got out of the bed and you ran after her making sure she was alright "Im fine y/n please... relax" "Relax!!? How could I!" She shakes her head "Ok i'm sorry but really, im ok" Miss Peregrine says and you nodded "Alright, alright" She walked into the bathroom and you waited for her outside, Miss Peregrine left the door open knowing that you would want her to. You watched her and she did her hair and touched up her makeup. Once you guys finished you both walked downstairs. You stood beside her as she walked so she didn't fall, Alma wanted you to stop treating her too carefully but also knew that maybe the way that you were treating her was reasonable.

She asked to be alone for a minute and convinced you to say yes. You wandered around the house and she went outside, all of the children were inside and after a little while you went out to see Miss Peregrine smoking. She looked over at you and sighed "really...?" You asked her and looked at her with confusion "what is your deal recently...?" Alma bit her bottom lip and looked down "I'm sorry ok" "Your sorry? We need you... all of us, are you giving up on us?" "No!" Alma raised her voice "I just... I need some time to think ''''you can't think if you're dead!" you yelled back slightly.

Alma nodded "I know... I'm sorry that was a really bad decision... but it was the only thing that i could think of at the moment... I won't do it again I promise. I love you... so much, and I love the children too but I was just scared ''''of what?" you reply "of myself, recently I have just been struggling... and I didn't know how to get help... so it just got worse and worse." You looked down feeling bad that you hadn't noticed

"I see" you whispered, "I'm here now... and I will help you all that I can, I promise. I will be here every second you need" you smiled at her and placed her hand on her cheek. You grabbed her cigarette with the other hand and you threw it out "now no more of this understand me?" She smiled back and said "ok..." "now let's go inside, Emma and Olive made dinner." Alma walked inside with you holding your hand and you both sat down. There you were, sitting with the love of your life and the children of the home. You couldn't believe how lucky you were to have come across this place and you smiled at them all. This was truly paradise
