A/N: Hey guys!!!! Here's an overdue one shot requested by  Derrys-Lcver!!!!!!!! I'm really sorry about the wait...Hope you enjoy!!!!

~Victor's POV~ 

My friends and I were currently at the Priest Hole, either drinking or gambling. Miss P and the others were passed out, so Emma, Fiona, Hugh, and I snuck out for a night of fun. I suppose it's either the '80s or '90s, cause it's changed a bunch from earlier years.

I was chalking up a pool stick when I saw her. A beautiful young girl handing beers to a group of men. Bird, was she gorgeous! Dark brown hair, emerald green eyes, and smooth, milky skin. She was a finnnnne woman.

I put my stick aside and went over to her. 

"Hi." I said from behind her. She jumped slightly and turned around. 

"Hello." She said. She served a couple more beers and walked a way." I ran to catch up with her.

"I'm Victor. Victor Bruntley." I said. She whipped her long, chocolate hair and began walking away faster. I ran to catch up again. 

"What's your name?" I asked her. She glared at me, but at least gave me a response.

"My name is Alicia Williams and I am not interested in a one night stand." Her thick, British accent turned me on even more, as did her name. Alicia. What a beautiful name!

"I don't want a one night stand!" I told her. She rolled her eyes and crossed her arms.

"Every man does." She said.

"Well I'm not like that. Here, take a drink with me and you'll see." I said. She hesitated before grabbing two beers and sitting down in a booth.

"Well," she started, "Prove to me that you aren't like other men." I gave her my normal, ornery grin and started.

"Well, I'm Victor. I'm 19 years old, have a younger sister who I love and care for, and live with my foster mum and foster siblings. I've never really been in a serious relationship, but would love to try one." Okay, I'm lying through my teeth. I don't want a serious relationship, no just a casual one. Just sex. After all, I'm in the bloody loop forever, I can't have normal relationships in this world. Not to mention I'm a teenager, who has needs that have to be satisfied.

"I'm Alicia." She started. "I'm 18 years old, and I have an older brother, a sister in law who I live with. I haven't been in a serious relationship either, but I want one." She said. Oh, great. Why the bloody does EVERY woman want a serious relationship? Why not just sex? What's so terrible about sex?

"That's great." I lied. Oh well, I can do a couple of months of sex, not come back for awhile, and then she'll forget about me. That's what all the others have done. She smiled slightly, right as bloody Apiston came around. 

"Vic, we've got to go." He said. Fiona and Emma were in his trail. I looked at the clock and sighed.

"I'm sorry Alicia, but I have to go. I'll be back tomorrow night, I swear." I told her. She looked down sadly, but nodded. 

"Okay, Victor. I suppose I'll see you tomorrow night." She said. I grinned. 

"It's a date then." She smiled as we left.

As we started our trail back home, Emma turned to me and asked me the question she asks me every time I hook up with a woman.

"You're going to trick her aren't you?" She asked. I shrugged and responded.

"Emma, I'm 19 years old, let me have some fun." Emma glared at me and went back to chatting with Fiona. Geez, women!

~Alicia's POV~ 

I practically skipped home after my shift at the 'Shit' Hole. Victor seemed like a genuinely, nice man! Finally! A nice man! 

I ran into my brother's house, where I expected to see him, his wife, her sister, and my niece and nephew. (A/N: Okay, I should stop putting my OCs into requested one shots, but I see some of these one shots as a way to build on to my story. I'm sorry if you hate them, but they help me write the story.)

I don't live with my parents, because, I'm well, not like them. I have a strange power, as well as Charlie and my other two roommates, albeit theirs is different. I can control water. I don't know how or why, but I just can. It's something I've been able to do for years, and the thing that got me kicked out for being a 'freak'. Charlie also got kicked out, because he can erase and read minds. His wife can turn into a bird and her sister can change her appearance. They didn't get kicked out though. No, their father is in Ireland, trying to work off debt.

 Charlie Williams the first is a sturdy man, twenty years old, and quite attractive person. He works 10 hours a day to provide for me, his wife, and his children at a factory in Wales. He may or may not be home, seeing as it is midnight and he has to take an hour long ferry from and to work every day.

My sister-in-law is Sandra Maresco Williams, an Argentine woman who moved here about two years ago, with her sister and brother. Her  brother has left to find work in America, saying that he'll take us in when he gets enough money. In his last letter, he says he works in a factory in Florida and has a baby boy, my niece and nephew's age.

Her sister was my best friend, Lucia Maresco. Lucia is a happy,  18 year old girl, who has way too much energy. She's a little annoying, but the best friend I could ask for.

My niece and nephew are twins, Emily and Charlie the second Williams. They are 5 months old now, and the cutest things in my life. They may be mistakes, but I'm so grateful to have them. I love them so much!

I quietly came into the house, where I saw both Charlie,Sandra,and Lucia, and their friends, Cassandra Markley and Henry and Alexandra Carter. The twins, along with Tommy or 'TJ' Carter were asleep in a play pen in the sitting room.

"Licy! We got a letter from Julio!" Charlie whispered. Julio is Sandra's brother over in America. I ran over to sit by Lucia and read the letter to myself. It said:

'Dear who ever the hell is reading this, 

I'm doing great in Orlando! So's Lizzie. Luke is getting bigger every day! I put in a picture for you guys. How's your kids? Are Emily and Charlie being good little babies? I know with Sandy in them it's hard, but you're a good guy, Char, you'll level out her bad.

Henry, Alex, have you guys had the baby yet? If you have, I hope you have considered naming him or her 'Julio' or 'Julia'. Beautiful names. Will make Carter look better. No offense, Alex, but Carter is a boring last name. Love ya Henny!

How's pregnancy, Cassie? I hope you're doing alright. I wish I could kick the guy who left you's ass, I really do. Hope the baby's okay, I know if he's anything like you he can kick ass.

How's life, Lucia? Alicia? Any new boy bands you guys are obsessing over? New boys? If their is any, tell them whatever they do to you two, I'll do to them. Just kidding.

Hope everyone's doing well. Brian, Jason, and I are suffering in the factory, trying to provide for our kids, and living in the same apartment with our girlfriends. Wish we could send for you guys, but we're barely making ends meet.

Sincerely, 

Julio'

I laughed at his non-serious letter and Sandra only groaned. 

"Why is he like this?" She said, causing Henry to laugh.

"Because he's Julio!" He said with his thick Australian accent. "He'll never be serious, Sandy. Never! Nor Brian and Jason. God, those poor kids are in for something, ain't they?" Charlie laughed as Sandra sighed again. 

"How was your day, Alicia?" Lucia asked me.

"Okay, I guess. I have something to tell you later, but after everyone has left."  She nodded. We waited until Henry, Alexandra, and Cassandra had left for their apartment they shared, when Lucia and I ran to our room and locked the door.

Our room was covered in posters of mainly Lucia's taste. Multiple Backstreet Boys, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and other pop acts covered the walls. I usually fell asleep by staring into AJ McLean's poster, while listening to the latest MTV video from our small television that we stole from our neighbors garbage. We also found a way to get cable from another night neighbor and watch it most nights.

"So, what's the big news you have to tell me?" Her Spanish accent was excited as she leaped onto her bed and flipped on the TV. She found a station she liked and turned it on.

"I've got a date!" I said. She stopped staring at the TV and clapped her hands. Her hair turned pink and she started clapping.

"Alicia, this is amazing!" She said. I rolled my eyes. Lucia always thought it was amazing when I got asked out. I couldn't help but wonder if this date really was going to be amazing.

~Victor's POV~

I waited for Alicia by the Hole, kicking a rock and looking at the time. I had snuck out again, much to the dismay of Emma. She says I need to be honest and trustworthy to this girl, not leave her after one night. God, what is with her? She's probably jealous I'm getting some, while she's stuck alone, wanting Abe. Abe's probably 50 now.

"Hey, Victor." A soft voice said. I spun around to see Alicia, her dark hair up in a pony tail and her gorgeous green eyes sparkling. She is beautiful. 

"Hey Alicia." I said. She smiled.

"Well, are we going in?" She asked. I blushed for a moment before I opened the door for her and led her to a booth. We ordered two colas from a Latina girl who was giggling and began to talk.

"So, Victor, tell me something about yourself." She said.

"Well, I'm from Swansea. What about you? Where are you from?"

"I'm from a small town in England. I moved here when I was 15 with my brother. He met his wife here, Sandra, and had their twins, Emily and Charlie. I live with them, and Sandra's twin, Lucia. Sandra and Lucia are a year older than me and Charlie is two years older." She said.

"Okay, well I have a sister, Bronwyn. She's 15 and we live with our foster mum and foster siblings. There's Emma, Fiona, Hugh, Millard, Horace, Enoch, Claire, and Olive. I'm roommates with Hugh and Millard, and believe me it's annoying." She giggled at this.

"What are they like?" She asked.

"Well, Hugh is this 17 year old kid who is obsessed with his girlfriend, Fiona. They snog constantly and everywhere. While Millard is this stuck up obnoxious genius that you want to hate sometimes, but he's saved my arse too many times. Emma is a hot head who's trying to get over her ex, Enoch is too grumpy, Horace is a crybaby, and Olive and Claire are innocent little girls. Oh, and Bronwyn is like the mother to all of them. And me. We all live under Miss P, our caretaker. Miss P is strict, but loves us all. She doesn't really know I'm here right now..." I said. Alicia laughed again.

"Charlie can be a bit annoying sometimes as well. Sandra is really the mother of the house, because she has the most common sense. Lucia is overly energetic, but the best friend I could ask for. The twins are the most adorable things! They're about 5 months old." She said. The Latina girl walked over with our colas and started giggling again.

"Lucia!" Alicia said. So this was her roommate. Not bad, but I'm not gonna mess with her. Learned my lesson about sleeping with one girl then her roommate. God, I didn't know women were that aggressive!

"So who's your friend?" Lucia asked, giggling some more.

Alicia blushed and said, "Lucia, this is Victor. Victor this is my roommate Lucia, who should be going now. Right, Luc?" Lucia rolled her eyes, but left.

"Nice to meet you!" She yelled. Alicia rolled her eyes again and I laughed.

"So, Alicia, tell me some more things about you. What are your interests? Passions? Give me something." I said.

"Well, I'm a fan of American R&B music, my favorite movie ever is Buffy the Vampire Slayer, I watch WAY too much Baywatch, and I want to go to America to become an orthopedic surgeon. What about you?" She asked. I had no clue what any of that stuff was, but decided to play along.

"Oh yeah, I love R&B. Love it. Buffy the Slayer is an awesome film, and Baywatch! I love Baywatch more than I love my sister!" She then look down into her cola.

"Oh, you're one of those guys." She said. I was confused by what she was talking about.

"What guys?" I asked.

"The kind of guys who only watch stuff like Buffy or Baywatch just to see some hot, celebrity skin. Or are lying to me to try and get in my pants." Oh shit, I've messed up. She then got up to leave when I grabbed her arm.

"Wait, Alicia. I'm not like one of those guys, I swear!" She cocked an eyebrow and sat back down.

"Look, the only reason I lied was, because I really want to be in a relationship with you, and I figured if I lied, there would be a better chance of being with you. I'm sorry." I said. She gave me a warm smile and I felt something turn in my stomach. Must be the dinner Hugh helped make. Hugh's a terrible cook.

~1 year later~

I've been in a relationship with Alicia for a year now. I know, it's not very 'Victor Bruntley' of me, but I can't help, but falling in love with her. 

She's incredible. The way she smiles makes my heart beat pick up and I could listen to her laugh for hours on end. She's confident and brave, never backs down from something she loves, intelligent, and everything. She's my everything. 

I think I'm in love with this girl. And I hate it.

I hate that I can never marry her, have kids with her, and live a happily eve after with her. I hate that i have to sneak out every night to see her, that I can't have her every minute of every day. I hate that she's never met my family, and never will, while I have met her family a million times. I hate that someday, she's going to grow old, while I'll be stuck here in the loop, still loving her. I hate that she'll fall in love with someone else, while I'll forever be in love with her. I hate it!

I was up going to meet Alicia one night when an older man began to follow me. I decided to turn around and tell him off

"What do you want?" I asked. The old man smiled

"I know about little Vicky's girlfriend..." He sang. I sprung up. How did he know my name, and about Alicia?

"Who are you?!" I demanded. The old man smiled.

"I am what you call, an ally to peculiar kind, but an enemy to hollows and ymbrynes. I don't agree with the cannibalistic ways of wights and hollows and loops that limit peculiars. My name is Caul." The old man said. I narrowed my eyes, but let him continue.

"I've been following you for awhile Victor, and I've noticed that you've fallen in love with a girl, Alicia." I nodded.

"And you would do anything to be with her, correct?" 

"What do you want?" I gritted my teeth and asked. The old man laughed some more.

"I just want to help you Victor, that's all. I have something that you may be interested in." He held up a silver tube filled with red liquid.

"You see, this potion can turn you back to your original age of 19. You won't age forward, you'll only age with years. You can live your life with Alicia and go to America and live the dream. Only for a small price." He said. I admit, I'm interested.

"What?" I asked.

"Never return to the loop." He said. 

Oh god. I don't know what to do, but I know what I want to do. I want to be with Alicia. I love Bronwyn and Miss P, but I love her more. I can't live without her. I have to do this. I have to.

We agreed to meet again tomorrow, where I'll take the potion and go to Alicia. I ran back to the loop, where it was currently 7 am. Oh shit, everyone was up.

Miss P was at the door waiting for me, with her arms crossed and a stern look on her face. I'm in for it.

"Miss P, I can explain!" I started.

"No, Mr. Bruntley, there is no explanation needed. You disobeyed my rules and ran out of the loop. You will be punished by cleaning the house bottom to top,"

"Miss P!"

"Cleaning all three bathrooms,"

"Miss P,"

"Doing the dishes for three weeks straight,"

"MISS P!"

"And..."

"MISS PEREGRINE, I'M LEAVING THE LOOP!" I yelled. She stopped listing my punishments and stood back.

"Mr. Bruntley!" She said.

"I'm sorry Miss P, but I have to. I'm sick of this place. I want a life. I'm leaving tonight and there is nothing you can do to stop me. I'm sorry." I then stormed upstairs to start packing, leaving Miss P in the sitting room.

~8 hours later~

I was running down the street, to the man who could give me what I needed. I had my brief case with me, filled with clothes and a bit of money to get me and Alicia started. 

When I left, Bronwyn was a mess. She cried, but i told her i had to leave. I'm going to miss her, but I know what I'm doing is right. It's for Alicia.

The others were upset as well, but not as upset as Bronwyn. Miss P was mainly mad at me, but she didn't understand. I love this girl! Miss P has never been in love, she doesn't understand what it's like.

I stopped when I saw the man, who noticed my case and smiled.

"Here you are, Victor." He held out the bottle and I drowned it, not thinking twice. It was a weird sensation, but I felt my age stop. I felt it. 

"Thank you!" I said to the man before running in the direction of Alicia's house.

"No, thank you Victor!" He yelled. I didn't stop running until I reached the small house and banged on the door. I reached into my pocket to feel my grandmother's ring and hold it. Tonight was the night. The night I proposed. 

Lucia opened the door and I rushed in, not even bothering to say hello to anyone. I ran up to Alicia's room and right up to her.

"Victor!" She screamed. She wrapped her arms around me as I kissed her, long and hard.

"Alicia, I'm free." I said. She raised an eyebrow and I explained how I am now on my own. She looked happy as I explained and told me about how her friend finally had enough money for them to get to America, saying that i could come with them. She and Lucia had already started packing.

"That's amazing, honey. Oh sit down!" I said. She sat down on her bed as I got on one knee.

"Alicia, will you please do me the honor of marrying me?" She started crying.

"YES!!!!" She practically screamed. She fell into my arms and I laughed, kissing her forehead. 

This is the best day of my overly long life.

~6 months later~

~Alicia's POV~

Today was my wedding day. 

I looked in the mirror for the hundredth time and spun around in my gorgeous dress, that once belonged to Elizabeth Maresco, Julio's wife.

I am so happy! I can't wait to be married to Victor, live in America, become an orthopedic surgeon, and live my happily ever after that I so deserved.  I was so happy that my power started acting up and spilled water from a plant everywhere.

Oh, shit, my power! How am I going to hide it from Victor?! Oh, I'll find a way, but for now....I'M GETTING MARRIED.

"Sis?" Charlie asked. He was dressed in a rental tuxedo, and looked as handsome as ever. 

"You, wow," He said. I turned around in the dress for him. "You look amazing!" He said.

"You ready?" I asked. He laughed and took my arm as we made our way down the isle. 

I walked up to Victor, who was wearing his tuxedo, and looked soo incredibly handsome. His jaw had dropped at the sight of me. I laughed. 

We went through the ceremony like nothing, it being a short a simple wedding. Before I knew it, we were Mr. And Mrs. Bruntley.

That's when it happened. An attack. A beast attack.

I tried to fight, but Victor and Charlie pushed me away. I ran to the ocean with blood from normal victims on my dress, ready to flood the island. But before I could do that, a beast grabbed me and tried to kill me. 

Victor noticed my distress and ran towards the invisible creature. I told him to stop, but he didn't, and lifted me and the creature up with his bare hands.

I was shocked. Was he one of us? But, I'll never know, because right after he threw the beast and rescues me...

A beast plunged his sharp claws inside of him, killing him. I fell with my dead husband, his blood staining my once pure white dress.

~7 years later~

"Mom!" My six year old yelled. I rushed over to where he was in our small apartment.

"Yes, honey?" I asked.

"Aunt Sandy's calling. Something about needing you right now." He walked back to the TV, a new episode of Arthur being on. 

"Okay, Victor." I said. I smiled at my son. Well mine, and the man who I fell in love with's son. Little Victor. He has no idea how much he is like his father.
