Lilly Shelby ~ Shelby sister imagines

HeartBreak

Lily's POV
—————
I walked down the road, tears streaming down my face, My mascara smudged and eyes puffy.
I cant't Believe it, My boyfriend of 9 months had broken up with me, why? because of my family, because of the name i have.
I loved Vincent, i really did, Everyone knew it i would go on about him whenever i got the chance. But his family just randomly came to the decision that they didn't want their son dating a Shelby, i made a good impression on his parents i thought they liked me, and what angers me is the fact he broke up with me because of my name, how pathetic.

I was a mixture of sad, angry, and empty, I didn't want to go home is this state because god knows what my brothers would do to Vincent or his family.
So i'll go the the garrison, if i tell harry i'm sure he will help me. As i approached the garrison doors i heard singing and shouting, oh god it's singing night i completely forgot, my brothers would obviously be there as they are all in love with that barmaid.
Well at-least this means the house is empty, if i clean my self up no one notice anything, but i'll have to tell them and keep them calm.
When i got home i showered, got into fresh clothes and did my hair. All of that continued with me crying tho, i was heartbroken, All my life people have made assumptions on me based of my name but i tried to change that by becoming a person people can trust and approach without being feared of their life, But i guess it didn't work i was just a little Shelby whose life decisions got dictated of what my brothers do.

When my brothers got home i was sat on the sofa just staring blankly at the wall, Tommy, John, Arthur, Finn, Michael and Polly all walked in and went to different areas of the house, Arthur came up to me and patted my head with his cap "You alright Lil's" he slurred, great he's drunk i guess i'll have to wait until tomorrow now, which is more time of me trying to cover up my tears. Tommy wasn't drunk tho, he walked into the betting den and into his office, i wondered if i could speak to him and maybe tell him separately i'm sure he would help me, but i'm not sure. You see me and Tommy have a good relationship, but we don't really involve each other in our emotions, so i have no idea how he would react with me crying. "I'll be back Arthur" i said as i got up and made my way over to Tommy's office. I knocked on the door and heard a faint "come in" i took a deep breath, shook my hands and walked in. I shut the door behind me and sat in the leather chair on the other side of his desk.
"you alright" he asked not looking up from his paper's "tom are you busy i was just wondering if we could talk" i replied fiddling with my hands, he finally looked up at me and put his pen down, leaning back into his chair he said "of-corse Lil, is anything worrying you" "well actually, tom a lot of things are worrying me, eirlier today Vincent he uh he broke up with me.....I'm heartbroken tom i don't know what to do i loved him so much and he left me because of our stupid family name" i said as i begin to cry, I was sobbing with my head in my hands, Thomas didn't say a single word, i guess he was too stunned to speak, as he thinks no one would even dare break a Shelby's heart.
i was getting scared, Tommy hasn't said a word which makes me worry he probably isn't used to emotion being shown in his presence. As my sob's begun to calm down i looked up at him "you know what tom just don't worry i bet you think i'm crazy for being so upset it's just-" "no" "no?" "no Lil, i don't think your crazy, not one bit. I know how much you loved him, But just remember you are so much more then he treats you like, he'll pay for this Lil don't you worry" he said "tom please, don't hurt him. I may hate him at the moment but i would hate for him to be hurt, please" i replied as more tears made there way down my face, then it happened, the most emotion i have even seen out of Thomas was shown.
Tommy got up, and pulled me out of my chair then embraced me into a special hug.
We stayed like that for a while, it was nice. "tom just don't tell the others quite yet, they are drink and will go..crazy" i said as we pulled away "i won't, now go upstairs and get some rest you look like you need it" he replied as he patted my head. i nodded my head and made my way out of his office, just as i was about to shut the door i paused "thank-you" i said genuinely, "no problem" he replied.

I then made my way up the stairs smiling at the fact.......

Thomas Shelby has a soft side.
