Horses

Finn is 16

Rose pov

I was walking through the cloudy streets of Birmingham and people avoided us. Cars swerved out if the way because as finn said "they don't wanna get my pretty dress dirty". I mean it's understandable. I was wearing my favourite dress that ada got me for my birthday a few months ago.

My grip on Finns hand was tight as I didn't want to lose him. I wasn't too familiar with this part of Birmingham and new i would get lost. There are certain places that I can go and know my way with my eyes closed. This was not one of them places.

As we walked, i spotted a sweet stall. I tugged on Finns hand and nodded my head in the direction of sweets. He rolled his eyes but walked over to the stall anyway. My family always got everything for free but they still payed sometimes. Especially in markets as they are smaller. The owner of the stall was a small man with a mustache. He was Italian and quite old with white hair. He had a huge smile on his face and gave us our sweets. Finn let go of my hand to get out his wallet.

That's when I heard it. The sound of a horse coming from behind. I turned around and saw a horse tied to a post. It was in the shadows and couldn't be seen easily. But I could tell that it was jet black and had the most beautiful eyes. I had always loved horses. I wasn't aloud to ride them without Tommy but it was still enjoyable. I ran across the street to get a better look at the horse.

I handed the man the money and smiled politely. I may be a shelby, but I still felt bad not paying. Places like the garrison  would do just fine without me paying. They certainly had enough customers. But small shops like this one needed the money. So i gave him a little extra and refused the change. He just smiled warmly as I turned around.

"Right darling, we just-" it was then that I noticed rose wasn't where I last saw her. I noticed her running across the road but that wasn't all I saw. It was as if everything happened in slow motion. A car was driving along the road and didn't appear to be slowing down for rose. She was about to get killed. As fast as possible, I ran towards her and pushed her onto the path away from the car, but not before I got hit by the car and went flying over the bonnet.

Pain shot through my arm as I looked at it. My bone was sticking out and it was already purple. Apart from that, nothing else hurt. The car stopped and a man jumped out shaking in fear. I would be scared to it I had hit the most powerful family in all of Birmingham, perhaps England. Rose rushed over to me and kissed my cheek as a I sat up. A few peaky men who saw the scene rushed over and helped me up. But i shook them up and held roses hand with my good arm. My other arms was killing and dripping with blood. Teeth clenched from the pain and eyes squinted shut every time I moved it. I quickly rushed home as rose kept apologising over and over again.

Once we were home, I basically through rose onto the sofa and sat in the chair cradling my arm. My brothers were all there aswell as Michael and polly and surprisingly ada.

"Hiya ada. Lovely to see you again" I said trying to ignore the pain. She just rolled her eyes and got up to kiss me. As she hugged me and kissed my cheek, I hissed because she leant on my arm during the hug. Everyone just stared at me but I said I got a sensitive bruise on my arm from boxing. They believed it. I think. Until rose opened her big gob.

"I'm really sorry finny. I didn't mean to"

"Didn't mean to what. What happened?" Tommy asked.

I jumped in before Rose could answer.

"She ran out into the road and almost got hit by a car. But i quickly picked her up and she is fine now. Just have me a fright" i said.

Polly looked fuming and scolded rose for running into the road. I was beginning to sweat from the pain that was just getting worse. I could see the bone from my arm but I hid it away from my family with my coat.

"Not taking your coat of finn" Arthur asked. I obviously couldn't but didn't want to tell them why.

"Nah. I'm alright. But chilly" I replied as I inhaled a big breath. I needed a cigarette but wouldn't be able to light one from the pain. Then rose started talking again.

"Is your arm better finny? When I get hurt, I get someone to kiss it better. And it always works. Do u want a kiss?" She asked.

I just rolled my eyes knowing what was about to come. John was sitting on the sofa opposite and quickly reached over and snatched my coat off of me. Every one gasped as I kept cradling my broken arm.

"Fucking hell finn. How'd ya do that?" Ada asked.

"I got hit by the car and went over the bonnet when I pushed rose down. It's not as bad as it looks" but polly was having none of it. She called a doctor to come around and sort it out for me.

I don't know how broken bones were treated in those times. Especially as severe as this. So we will just skip to when the doctor leaves.

I felt terrible. I got a good scolding from polly for running into the road. So I went crying to my brothers. Tommy lifted me onto his hip and rocked me to make me stop crying. I did eventually.

"I only wanted to look at the pretty horse Tommy. It was pure black and was across the road from the sweet stall ran by that nice Italian man. So I went to see it but I didn't see the car. I'm really sorry" I said. Tommy just smirked and kissed my cheek to wipe the tears.

Next day

Tommy pov

Normally finn or polly wake rose up. But i had a surprise for her this morning. So I went in and told her to get up. She didn't move so I told her that there was a treat waiting for her downstairs. That got her up and ready. Within 5 minutes she was dressed and downstairs. I swung her over my shoulder as she laughed.

"I got a very special surprise for you" everyone looked confused. I hadn't told the rest of the family about this surprise yet. As we walked outside, there stood the horse rose had wanted. I went back to the stall at night and found the horse. Brought it off the owner and here we are.

She jumped off my shoulder and went over to the horse. Once she stroked it, she ran back towards me and jumped in my arms. He legs wrapped around my body and he arms around my neck adn she squealed down me fucking ear.

"Thank you sooooo much Tommy. This is just the one I wanted. I love you so much." I chuckled and reminded her that it needed a name. But finn interrupted with

"Hang on. I almost die and she gets a fucking horse. Wheres the logic"

"Don't worry finn" Rose said in her sweet voice. "I am just more adorable and much more loved than you." I mean she wasn't wrong. She eventually decided on a name as she sat on the horse with Arthur holding onto the reigns

"I have decided to call my horse funny. Because he was the reason finn got hit by a car and that was really funny" she said nonchalantly. Everyone burst out laughing except finn who stormed inside. When he was in the house, we heard him shout

"I will shoot that fucking horse"

Well he can try. But as if he would ever make rose feel sad on purpose. She is the light of our lives. But doesn't stop her being a cheeky sod.
