...

An accident that she never wanted to talk about.

But back to more important issues, after leaving the rock on the ground, they both sat down; side by side.

The rock was large enough for two people to sit on without any problems. However, they had to sit quite close to each other to be much more comfortable, something that Bronwyn did not mind in the least. We were both sitting next to each other, with our shoulders inches apart; almost bumping into each other. If someone saw us, they would surely believe that we were a couple.

There, sitting on a rock, on a lake in the middle of a beautiful forest, Bronwyn and I stood; watching the beautiful landscape before our eyes. A landscape that seemed to be taken from a movie.

We remained silent for a while, observing the surroundings, listening to the joyful singing of the birds and how the fish swam peacefully through the small lake; surely looking for something they could eat.

"Did you know something, Jacob?" – Bronwyn said suddenly.

"Tell me" - I said.

"This is the place I come to when I'm sad or melancholic or when I just want to be alone; isolated from the world" - Bronwyn said as she looked at the crystal-clear surface of the lake.

"I'm not surprised. It is a beautiful landscape and worthy of admiration" – I nodded.

We all have our happy days and our sad days. I'm not going to ask her because she will became sad and I don't wnat that to happen.

"Thank you" – she said.

"You're welcome. By the way, I have a question" - I said.

"Do it. If I know the answer, I will answer it" – she said.

"Isn't it boring to repeat this day for years? I mean, you can't get out of the loop or you'll get old in a few days and you've been living in the orphanage for dozens of years. It's true that sometimes you've gone to the beach or on a picnic. But isn't it boring to always do the same thing for so many years; Aren't you tired?" – I asked curiously.

This is a question I've asked to everyone. The reason for this is because I want to know their opinions on the matter. I want to know if life here is monotonous and repetitive or, on the contrary, it is much more fun than I think.

"It's a good question. In fact, anyone who knew that we had repeated the same day for dozens of years would ask the same question, of course, if they are normal or they are preculiary that just discover our world, of course" – she said.

"So, are you bored or have you ever been bored of living the same day for decades?" – I asked again.

"It may seem boring from the outside to always repeat the same day. That living in the same place for dozens of years can be boring. But that's not the case, at least for me (and I'm sure for everything too). Here, we are all family and we have a good time every day. We have each other and have fun together. Sometimes we laugh, other times we cry. But I assure you that there hasn't been a day when I was bored being here" - said Bronwyn.

Everyone seems to think the same as Bronwyn.

"Does that mean you've never wanted to explore the outside world; have you ever wanted to know other places outside the loop or even inside?" – I asked again.

"Yes. Many times I have thought about seeing what the world I lived in. I'm not going to deny it" - she said.

"Then, why haven't you done it, why have you never decided to explore the world? I mean, inside the loop" – I said.

Although I think I already know the answer.

"Because I woul never leave my family. The family is never abandoned. If I ever go out to see the world, it has to be with everyone. Otherwise, I will never abandon my family" – Bronwyn said with a determined and serious tone.

She seemed pretty serious about it. As if she did not doubt her answer in the slightest.

"Then you're like me. I wouldn't abandon my family either. Although in a sense I am a hypocrite. Don't you think so?" – I sighed.

"Do you refer to your parents?" - she asked.

"That's right. I'm thinking of leaving them to go live with other people. Don't get me wrong, I'm delighted to come and live here and I consider you all as my family; there's no doubt about that. But now that you've said that, your words and your decision to never leave your family... I've been made to realize once again that I'm a hypocrite. I put my family above others, but I am abandoning my parents for my other family. Am I not a complete hypocrite?" – I said.

That's a weight I'll always have to carry all my life. I'm always saying that I would never abandon my family like my grandfather did, but I'm about to abandon my parents to go with my other family. A family that I will stay with forever. Am I not a hypocrite?

Bronwyn fell silent, listening to Jacob's words very seriously. She listened carefully until his last word and when he finished doing so and saw his expression of sadness, she hugged him.

Being hugged so suddenly, I was shocked.

"There is no doubt that it is a sin to abandon your family. But from now on you will live with us, your other family. It is true that you will always have to bear that sin, therefore, you should spend your whole life with us and not abandon us. Then, you will be able to atone for your sin" – she said.

These are harsh words, but necessary. I must never, never forget that I once left my parents to go with my another family. That is a sin that I must never forget.

"But you don't have to bear that burden alone" - Bronwyn said.

"What?" – I said surprised.

"We all have a past here. Some sadder than others, but we are family and we support each other. We help bear our sins. And do you know why?" – she said.

"Why?" – I asked without understanding.

"Because we are family and family always stays together" – she said.

My eyes snapped open. It's true, now they are my family. And not only that, but they also want to help me carry the sin that I will carry on my back forever. How huge is their loyalty; their love for their family?

"In addition... I'd also like to tell you something by taking advantage of the moment" – said Bronwyn.

I could tell that her body began to tremble slightly, as if she were nervous.

"I want you to know that..." – she said.

"What?" – I asked curiously.

"That I will help you bear most of your sin" - she said.

Then, she brought her lips to mine and we both shared our first kiss. The kiss that would be remembered by both of us for the rest of our "immortal" lives.

"I love you, Jacob and I want to always be by your side, supporting you in good times and bad times" – Bronwyn said.

For the first time since that incident, Bronwyn was nervous; expectant of what was going to happen next. From the moment she saw Jacob for the first time, she was dazzled by his handsomeness. He was handsome, very handsome and she liked him from the first moment she saw him. However, for Bronwyn, beauty was not everything or else she would have fallen in love with Abe as well. For her, appearance wasn't everything. For her, the most important thing was the person's personality. So as she got to know Jacob better, she began to fall more and more in love with him.

Love was a feeling she had never felt and she didn't understand why she felt this, so when she asked Miss Peregrine about it and found out that she was in love with Jacob, she decided to become his girlfriend. But what was her surprise when she learned that not only she, but also Olive, Emma, Fiona, Claire and even the twins had fallen for Jacob's charms. She was jealous, yes, but they were all family and Bronwyn didn't mind sharing Jacob with her family.

Today Bronwyn didn't plan to confess her feelings for Jacob. She just wanted to get a little intimate with him, to make them get to know each other better and in the future, confess her feelings to him; after all there was plenty of time. However, after listening to Fiona yesterday. After hearing her happily talk about how she had become Jacob's girlfriend, she couldn't contain herself anymore and confessed her feelings to Jacob. She knew she was being too rushed, after all, love affairs take time. But her healthy envy of Fiona made her lose her nerves and do it. In addition, the atmosphere that formed between them did not help her to contain herself either.

"Bronwyn... I like you too. But you should know that I already have Fiona" – I said.

"I don't care" - she said.

"And in the future maybe Emma and Olive will join too" – I said.

"I don't care. We've talked about it before, and we don't mind share you between us. After all, we are family and we all love you. Why would I make my family sad? We can share you and be all happy" – said Bronwyn.

It's amazing. Despite her jealousy, the love she feels for her family is much stronger than that simple jealousy and she has agreed to share me with the rest of the girls just because they are family. Incredible. Although I was a little surprised because I thought that polygamy was normal in this time.

[Host. There are all kinds of people. Something that is normal in society and that most do not see as a problem, may bother to other people. Bronwyn doesn't want to share you with other girls, but her love for her family overcomes her jealousy and envy, that's why she agreed to share you with the other girls]
