I couldn't sleep because of everyone's dreams I could hear them all at the same time so it didn't help when I heard crying and screaming it got really loud so I got up And checked on everyone

When I got to Horace's room it got louder and then stopped so I knocked on his door

" Horace may I come in " I say not knowing if he is awake yet

" y-yeah"

I could hear him crying even though his room is completely dark so I feel around for his bed and sit beside him

" do you want to talk about it" I asked

I could feel him shaking his head

" Horace look at me" I almost whispered

" look at me" I say a bit harsher grabbing on his face " I know it doesn't seem like it but it's just a bad dream it's not real and it will be okay because I'm here and I'm real " I say wiping away some of his tears with my thumb

A few moments later

  a couple moments of silence passed in peace so I decided to go in his mind to see what's got him so upset

" Horace she's going to leave you she's going to leave you for Enoch and she won't even care that you love her because she hates you" I could hear him thinking to himself and it just broke my heart

" come here " I say opening my arms so he could lay down

And he does he curled up in a ball and placed his head on my stomach wrapping his arms around my waist I started to hum and play with his hair hoping to calm him down a bit and it worked because I heard snoring a couple minutes later

" I love you Horace and I know you can't hear me but I do I really love you and maybe one day I'll have the courage to tell you when you're awake" I whispered

" I love you too y/n "I could hear him barley whispering back to me and that made me smile then I slowly fell asleep

" miss peregrine look at Horace and y/n" Millard says to her carefully trying not to wake them up

" yes Millard true love is beautiful isn't it... now come down to breakfast and let them sleep" she says in a almost whispered tone
