"Action" the director called. Coryn is filming the second series of Peaky Blinders, which she plays Lucille Shelby in, she earned the roll after her performance in the movie 'The Maiden' and her role in 'The Impossible'.

"What time do you call this?" Cillian 'Thomas' says to her sat a chair in the Shelby's Kitchen.

"You've got a watch there Tom, you should know" she says, in a convincing Birmingham accent. She felt dizzy, but just saw the short scene through, thinking it's just a mixture of the bright lights and stress.

"Don't be cheeky Lucille Anna Shelby" Cillian points his finger at her.

"Oh fuck off" She says and walks out of frame, she felt her stomach rumble, not in a good way either, she knows what's coming and tries to run to a toilet, failing to get there and throwing up on set. Cillian rushes over to her, the two having built a great bond during filming the show, him forming a father figure in the girls life. He rubs the fifteen year olds back and brings her hair out of her face.

"It's alright Coryn, we'll get you cleaned up" he says coming out of character and his Irish accent clear. She loved his accent, it reminded her of her mother who was born in Galway, right by the coast.

Coryn continues the day, feeling a bit better after vomiting but still a bit dodgy, Keelan picks her up from set and the siblings head home on a very silent journey

"You alright kid?" Keelan says, looking over briefly at his sister.

"Yeah, just tired" She smiles.

They get to their Portsmouth house and Coryn runs up the stairs, and jumps to her bed. A few hours pass and she needs to vomit again what the fuck.

"Rosie, I keep getting sick, help me please" Coryn phones Rosie, her girl best friend.

"It's okay calm down, it's probably something you ate" Rosie reasons with the panicked girl. Rosie always knows what to do when there's a problem.

"Swear I haven't eaten anything in the past twenty four hours that I haven't eaten before" Coryn informs the girl on the other line, she gets a horrible feeling thinking it could be something else surely not

"You don't think...no way. Oh my god wait, last month? When we were on the lash, where did you and Mason go?" Rosie suggests, Coryn's eyes widen at the mention of that night. Mason and her were 'friends with benefits' but everyone knew the two both wanted more, they're addicted to each-other. 

"Where do you think Ro? We were drunk and in a free house, come on figure it out" Coryn says, Rosie recognising the panic in her best friends voice.

"Right, I'm coming over with tests, don't worry it's probably a false alarm" Rosie tries to reason with the girl and hangs up, heading straight to Tesco to grab a few tests. While Coryns mind was racing with thoughts what would mason say? Keelan will kill me, I'm a actress, how is this going to work?

"Cor, James and I are heading out, be back around midnight, love you" Keelan shouts from downstairs, Coryn silently thanking the lord she has the house to herself.

"Love you, be careful" she shouts back at him. Soon after Rosie arrived at Coryn's, seeing as she can drive she gets places speedy.
