The next morning came and they were all back at the mansion. Workers and maids were running around everywhere to prepare for the night. Scarlett got dressed quick and met Polly and Ada downstairs. She was trying to avoid Tommy because she was embarrassed from how she was acting last night. She never let herself get drunk. Polly and Ada were sitting eating breakfast with everyone as Scarlett walked in.
"Scarlett, dear. Sit down and eat." Her father said.
"I'm not hungry."
"Does she eat in Birmingham because she rarely does here?" He asked the group.
Scarlett exhaled loudly and looked at Polly and Ada.
"Take your time and enjoy. I'll be outside." She smiled.
Tommy was looking at her, but she didn't look his way. Scarlett walked outside and lit a cigarette. She put her sunglasses on as she heard someone walk up behind her, but she didn't turn around.
"Avoiding me?" Tommy said.
"Well I was trying." She said as she turned around.
"Why's that?"
"Because the way I acted last night."
"And?"
"And I don't act like that. I shouldn't have—"
"What did you say as you carried Ada out of the pub the first night in Birmingham?" He said cutting her off.
"We've all had those nights." She said quietly.
"Exactly. That's what it was, just one night. It wasn't even bad. It was actually nice to see that side of you." He responded.
"What? Acting like an idiot?" She scoffed.
"No, letting loose for once. Having fun and being carefree. It was good to see that."
She was about to respond, but Ada and Polly walked up.
"I'm ready to shop!" Ada said excitedly.
Polly and Ada got in the car and Scarlett opened her door and turned to look at Tommy.
"Go and have fun." He said.
She nodded and got in the car and drove away. They drove downtown and parked the car right in front of the stores. They walked in and were immediately greeted and given champagne. Scarlett looked around at other girls shopping in the store and they all left before she had to say anything.
"Alright ladies. Let's pick out some dresses!" Ada squealed.
They tried on a ton of dresses and downed the champagne. Scarlett looked at Ada and Polly smiling as they twirled in the dresses. These were her first female friends and in the moment she felt happy. They gossiped about then men in their lives and Scarlett told them what was said between her and Tommy the past few days. Ada decided to stay quiet about what Tommy told her at the beach yesterday, she didn't even tell Polly. They all went into the dressing rooms one last time and came out. Scarlett came out in an off the shoulder red dress. Ada came out in a silver, sparkly, fitted dress and then Poll was wearing a low cut, thigh slit, gold dress. They all looked at each other and smirked.
"Damn we look good." Polly smirked.
Scarlett smiled.
"Alright, you have to tell me. Do you love him?" Ada asked.
"More than anything." Scarlett said quietly.
Ada gave a small smile. Scarlett stood in the middle of the three women as they looked into the mirror.
"I think we found them." Scarlett smirked.
Ada looked out the window to see Grace standing with a man in a white coat outside of a doctor's office that was across the street.
"What the fuck is she doing?" She said.
Polly and Scarlett walked over and saw Grace. They saw her slip him money and he gave something to her, but they couldn't see it. Grace turned her head to see the girls standing in their dresses looking at her. She quickly looked away and started walking.
"What the hell was that?" Scarlett asked.
"Who the fuck knows anymore?" Polly said as she turned around.
They eventually picked out matching jewelry and shoes and got their hair and nails done.
"Everything will be delivered to the house and put in your rooms." Scarlett said to the two women as they got in the car.
"Anyone else hungry?" Ada asked.
Scarlett smirked and stepped on the gas.
"I have just the place."
They pulled up to an Italian restaurant. Polly and Ada got out and followed Scarlett into the fancy place. Scarlett turned and looked at them as she walked.
"Like my restaurant?"
They both smiled and nodded as they looked around. Scarlett led them to the back and she walked into the private room and saw all the men sitting at a table.
"Fancy seeing you here." Tony joked.
"It's my restaurant." Scarlett laughed.
"That's why I brought them! They had to eat here." Al said.
Scarlett smiled and sat down beside her father. Food was served and they all talked.
"So how was shopping?" Scarlett asked the boys.
"I'm moving here to work for your father." Arthur said quickly with a smile.
"You come to New York and you will always have a place to stay." Al said.
He looked at Scarlett.
"I like them. I really like all of them." He said.
"So I take it shopping went well." She joked.
"These guys want to see the Statue of Liberty, so I'm taking them." Al said to Scarlett.
"Would you ladies like to join?" He said looking at Polly and Ada.
They both smiled and nodded. The whole group went and took pictures. Al Capone never did these things, but he would for his daughter. The father and daughter were standing alone as they watched the group take pictures.
"You really love these people?" He asked.
"They make me happy." She smiled.
"Good. That's all that matters. And when they don't, I will kill them." He said.
She gave a small laugh as he put his arm around her. Time went on and they eventually made it back to the house. Everyone went to their rooms to get ready. Scarlett was completely ready except she had a towel on. She looked everywhere for her dress. She walked down to Polly and Ada. They were both ready, but were wearing robes.
"Oh good you guys can't find your dresses either." Scarlett said relieved.
"No, we have our dresses." Ada said.
"Can you not find yours?" Polly asked.
Scarlett shook her head.
"I can find it anywhere."
Just then Grace walked out of her room wearing Scarlett's red dress. She walked by the girls and turned back.
"Tommy loves red." She said as she walked on.
"That's it." Scarlett said as she started to walk towards Grace, but Ada stopped her.
"What the fuck Ada? It's time I put the bitch down." Scarlett hissed.
"You can't..."
"Why not?"
"Just trust me okay? You can't kill her now." She said as she gripped Scarlett's wrist.
Polly and Scarlett gave Ada a weird look.
"What if your towel falls off." Ada said.
Scarlett had a confused look on her face.
"So what are you gonna do about a dress, love?" Polly asked.
She smirked.
"I have an idea." She said as she walked off.
Scarlett went upstairs and walked into her closet. She held out a hanger with a dress on it and smiled.
"Oh she will be sorry."
She put on the dress and looked into the mirror. It was a tight long black dress. It had a low back that revealed her tattoos and then a low cut front with a thigh slit. She put on leather black heels and matching jewelry. She sprayed perfume and then walked out the door. She was meeting Ada and Polly so they could make a grand entrance. They both looked Scarlett up and down.
"Tommy will be weak in the knees when he sees you." Ada said.
Scarlett smirked.
"Tonight we are breaking hearts and taking names." Scarlett said.
The both looked at her.
"Alright now lets go fuck shit up." She added.
Polly and Ada walked down the steps first and everyone turned to watch. It's like the girls were walking down in slow motion. Scarlett started coming down the stairs. She was looking down and then looked up to see all the men and Grace staring at her. She smirked.
"Fucking hell." Tommy whispered and then Grace gave him a death stare.
The three girls walked over to the Shelby men and Grace.
"Thank you for stealing my dress, Grace. You did me a favor." Scarlett smirked and then walked away.
Everyone looked at Grace, but Tommy was watching Scarlett walk away. Grace yelled Tommy's name multiple times and then he finally snapped out of it.
"I have business to do." He said as he walked towards Scarlett.
Grace scoffed and everyone around her gave a small laugh. Tommy walked over to Scarlett and put his hand on her back and then Sophia came up and started to flirt with Tommy. Scarlett smirked and squeezed Tommy's shoulder and then walked off. She walked around and saw Ada flirting with Salvatore and then Polly talking to Mrs. Changretta. She glanced at the clock and it was ten minutes till ten so she walked up to Arthur and John who were mingling.
"I'm so sorry to interrupt, but do you two mind helping me go get more alcohol?" She smiled.
They both nodded and walked to the basement. The plan was for Arthur and John to beat up Salvatore and then Scarlett and her father walk out. Scarlett pulled the gun out of her thigh holster.
"I like this dress way better." Arthur smirked at her.
Scarlett smirked and then disappeared into the dark basement to wait. They heard Ada coming down the stairs with Salvatore as she flirted. He was about to kiss her until Arthur and John started to beat him up. He was laying on the ground with blood flowing out of his face. John and Arthur pulled him up and held him. Just then Tommy made his way down with Sophia. She was holding onto his arm. Polly was the last to come down the stairs with Mrs. Changretta.
"What the fuck is going on?" Mrs. Changretta yelled.
She started to walk after Scarlett, but Polly put a knife to her throat and held her.
"I believe it's called a vendetta." Scarlett said as her and her dad walked out.
Tommy was holding Sophia and she was trying to fight her way out.
"You can go a long way with a smile, but can go a lot farther with a smile and a gun" Al Capone said.
Scarlett smiled and then shot Salvatore in the head without hesitation. Mrs. Changretta and Sophia started to scream and eventually Sophia broke free from Tommy and went at Scarlett. Scarlett turned and pistol whipped her so hard she fell. Mrs. Changretta was still yelling.
"Scream all you want, babe. The basement is soundproof. No one knows we are here." Scarlett said.
"I do." Grace said as she walked out of the shadows.
"How the fuck did she get in here?" Polly asked.
Scarlett pointed her gun at Grace.
"I swear to God I'll fucking shoot you."
"You'd shoot a pregnant woman?" Grace asked.
"I don't believe you." Scarlett responded.
"Ask Tommy." Grace smirked.
Scarlett looked at Tommy with shock in her eyes. He slowly stepped in front of Grace.
"Is it true?" Scarlett whispered.
He just looked at her and didn't answer.
"Is it fucking true?" She yelled.
"Yes, Grace is pregnant with my child." He said.
Scarlett bit her lip and nodded. She turned to look at everyone who looked just as shocked as she did.
"Awe did Scarlett not get what she wanted for once." Sophia said as she sat up on the ground.
Scarlett pointed her gun and shot her in the head without thinking twice. Everyone had wide eyes after that because killing Sophia wasn't the plan. Mrs. Changretta was screaming and crying as Polly tightened her grip. Scarlett pulled out her knife and bent down to the two bodies lying on the ground. She carved "Scar" into their foreheads. She stood up and turned around as everyone saw it. She walked over to Mrs. Changretta and wiped her bloody knife on her dress. Then she grabbed her as she put her gun under her chin.
"Tell then what you saw today. Tell them who did it. You say my name to Luca. You tell them it was Scarlett Jade Capone that killed them. You say my fucking name."
She let go of her and walked upstairs. Her two uncles came down and escorted Mrs. Changretta out. Al said something in Italian to them as they walked out. Al left leaving the Shelby's in the basement. They all looked around at each other.
"Really Grace? I said not tonight." Tommy yelled.
"She was gonna shoot me." Grace yelled back.
"I wish she would have." Polly said.
