(warning- cheating, physical abuse)

"Evening John, Arthur" Y/n said with a tired smile sitting down between them.

"You look like shit" Arthur said from beside her, cigar in his mouth.

"Well thanks very much" Y/n mumbled taking John's lit cigarette and breathing it in both of them looked at her worried.

"Thought Tommy wanted you to stop" Polly said with an eyebrow.

"Thought Tommy wanted you here an hour ago?" Y/n mumbled annoyed.

"What did he do?" John asked placing his hand on her hip and pulling her closer.

"Sold er horse" Charlie said Y/n looked up at Charlie tears in her eyes.

"I'm going for a walk, if he asks where I am just...just tell him to fuck off" Y/n said standing up and walking out.

She continued walking pushing her curly black hair back and walking down the street, cigarette between her lips.

"Darlin! Wait up!" John called running after her, she looked up at him a toothpick had replaced the cigarette between his lips.

"Come home with me?" John asked knowing the streets of small heath where more dangerous at night, specially for a young women.

"I just wanna walk John" Y/n mumbled head down once again.

"Don't do that Darlin don't call me that" John said stopping as he stared at her.

"That's your name" Y/n mumbled cigarette between her lips again, but still avoiding his blue eyes.

"No Darlin you don't call me John, never...don't take your anger for Tommy out on me Doll" John said placing his hand in her long curly hair comforting her, she nodded.

"Sorry" She mumbled wiping her tears away as she stood on the cigarette hearing the hiss.

"Thank you" he said softly kissing her cheek.
She nodded, John took her hand and they continued walking, her heels clicking against the street.

"Did he tell you why he sold him?" John asked softly once they made it to the cut.

"No...Charlie tried to explain it...didn't really listen Curly tried to calm me down but I couldn't, I just walked away." Y/n said leaning over the bridge looking down into the water.

"Here" John said holding out a cigarette which she took leaning closer so he could light it then lighting his own.

"It's nearly autumn again" Y/n mumbled softly focusing on the stray leaves falling into the cut.

"Yeah, getting colder and bloody darker every night" John said softly, she nodded smiling.

"At least Ada will be home, she's always brings Karl and then your two can go trick or treating again, only time they spend as kids now a days" Y/n mumbled.

"Same with Finn, never wants to leave the house" John said softly.

"No wonder, not after what happened to Tommy and Ada" Y/n said softly.

"I know, least you were safe" John said softly, she looked up at his with a raised brow.

"And Esme" Y/n whispered he nodded swallowing as he looked at the water.

"Tommy promised me to you...till the whole Lee family...Polly told me aswell as Esme, she even apologised" Y/n said softly, John looked at her.

"I didn't know they told you, I asked Tommy if I could marry you, he promised but then shit happened..." John mumbled.
