TW:assault violence
Although edith was mad by Tommy's words she would not let it spoil her plans she let the warm air in her house fill her body she walked herself up to her room she searched her wardrobe for something to wear to her date to the pictures she flung herself on her bed worn out all her clothes scattered all across her bedroom she didn't realise how plain the clothes she wore were but she did not give up she dragged herself to her parents room when she was younger she admired her mother she wore perfect clothes and wanted to look just like her
But as her mother got older she took less care with her appearance saying she was to old to walk around playing dress up
Edith searched to the back of her mothers draw were all her best clothes were she pulled out a beautiful gold dress and fell in love with it she held it with care as she went back to her own room she was ready to dress to impress she placed the dress on admiring herself in her mirror she was proud of herself and new her mother would be proud of her to she put on her silver earrings that she had been gifted by her brother in her birthday
She began pinning her hair up positioning it neatly in place she slid out a box of Shoes she has never wore the shoes before but it was her chance she placed a stick of lipstick to her plump lips applying it neatly before rubbing her lips together and walked out the door with her bag in her hand she pulled out the pack of cigarettes that she had placed in her bag earlier and began to smoke ever so slightly leaning against the wall the lipstick leaving a mark at the end of it

"Where are you going" she jumped slightly in surprise before turning Tommy stood hands in his pocket his eyes were hard to read and he had the Same cold expression on his face "why do you care" she spoke calmly letting out the cloud of smoke "I'm ...

"Where are you going" she jumped slightly in surprise before turning
Tommy stood hands in his pocket his eyes were hard to read and he had the Same cold expression on his face "why do you care" she spoke calmly letting out the cloud of smoke "I'm going to the pictures" she spoke he raised his eyebrow slightly "alone" he pushed she shook her head before putting out her cigarette walking away slightly "well I better be off don't want to leave my date waiting" she grinned shoes clicking against the cobblestone floor
She was glad to the familiar face of the baker stood outside he smiled at the sight of her waving the already brought tickets in the air
"Hello" she greeted "hello" he tilted his head they linked arms as they entered taking a seat towards the Center together at first they Edith watched happily interested before a slight wispre from beside her caught her "I never got your name" his eyes on her "oh yes sorry I'm Edith, you?"
A conversation beginning to form "oh well I'm William will for short" she smiled "Well Edith as you know I'm a baker but what do you do" her smile left her face her eyebrows lowered a look of disappointment overshadowed "well I did have a job at the pub but only just I got fired so for now my life's boring" she put a face on "I could show you a good time" he spoke attempting to speak flirtatiously he shuffled closer to her "well I'm having a good time watching this at the you" she shuffled away  clearly uncomfortable she tried to focus on the screen but she could feel Williams eyes fixated on her she was glad it finished soon after and quickly rushed and stood up "well it's finished I must be going" she was quick to walk away but felt William grip her wrist slightly pulling her back "I'll walk you home then" she shook her head tugging her hand still in his grip " I insist" he pushed they walked in a uncomfortable silence as was glad to stop at her house "well this is me" she turned before Williams hand gripped her jaw painfully tightly "kiss me" he demanded "William what are you doing your hurting me" she shoved him he was quick to pull her hair dragging her against the wall roughly he took his hand placing it oh her thigh riding his fingers higher "get of off me" she fought back kicking and punching
But before she new it William was on the ground Thomas Shelby inflicting punches on his face they rolled on the ground before William was pinned to the wall bruises covered his face Thomas punched him in his face nose bleeding as he dropped to the floor William chocked blood filling his mouth
Edith was not new to violence and blood but a feeling of worry filled her mind she rushed in her house out of fear or shock
She rolled around all night not letting the image of William being beat by Tommy out of her head...
