// You Called Me Tommy //

Estella walked over to them and grabbed Ada's wet cloth she had offered her,

"you went to one first aid class in the chruchhall and were thrown out for giggling," said John chuckling
"well not before learned how to stop somebody from chocking," she said back "I'm not bloody chocking am i" asked Arthur before hissing at Estella since she rubbed the wet cloth around his face "you will be when i wrap this cloth around your neck" she hissed back,as she grabbed a new cloth, Estella pressed on his wound making him grab her hand harshly signaling for her to stop
"let me clean your wounds before i cut your hand off Arthur" she said sternly, which led to him taking his hand of and looking away muttering a "yes ma'am" when Estella loses her temper it gets dangerous and everybody knew that, John and Thomas had to stiffle a laugh before Thomas pushed himself of the wall opening the rum bottle giving it to Arthur while Estella cleaned his wounds
"he said mister Chruchill sent him to Brimingham, National interest he said, something about a robbery" Estella stopped cleaning his wounds as she listened, she saw Thomas looking over to her but she kept her eyes on Arthur, "he said he wants us to help him" he said making John scoff "we don't help choppers," he said "he knew all our war records and even Estella's god knows where he got that from"

her ears perked up "he said we're patriots, like him, wants us to be his eyes and ears"
"i said" but he hissed looking at Polly who was still making his finger straight "i said we'd have a family meeting take a vote" he finished breathing heavily as Estella washed out the bloody cloth, the water was now red, completely red drained in blood making it look like someone was killed

as Estella's eyes were fixated on the water with the vibrant colour she was pulled out by one sentence Arthur spoke
"whats with him, what's wrong with him lately" asked Arthur towards Polly, Estella sighed
"only God knows" she answered pushing the still bloody cloth into Thomas's chest walking out of the room

after some debating Estella decided to go to the Garrison with the boys, she was still angry at Thomas and tried to ignore his eyes as much as she could but now and then his mezmorising blue orbs called her in and never let her go before she was ripped out of her trance by John or Arthur talking to her
they walked into the Garrison hearing a woman angelic voice, Estella rolled her eyes already knowing who it was
Grace stood on the desk as the men stopped singing finding the presence of the Shelbys to intimating to keep the singing up, Grace did not stop she stood there singing while looking Thomas straight in the eyes

after she finished Harry walked over " we haven't had singing in here since the war" he said and Thomas answered with a monotone voice "why'd you think that is Harry" he said back

Estella was back home in her room reading a book trying to get the loud yelling of drunken men on the street out of her head but one notice peaked her ears, she got up from her bed and walked into the hall hearing as the noise got louder

she stopped in place when she stood frozen in place hearing the notice coming from Thomas's room, she took the doorknob in her hands turning it slightly before entering the room seeing a rolling and whimpering and heavy breathing thomas on his bed, muttering words, she closed the door fastly before walking over to him sitting down next to his laying figure and talking in a panicked voice
"Thomas it's a nightmare come on," she said pleadingly her hands gripped his wrist pinning them down since he did not stop moving them,

 she tried shaking him but he did not wake up, she shook him harder pleading him to wake up
"come on Thomas you're here in England not in those tunnels," she told him cupping his cheek with her hands as he started to calm down
"come on Tommy wake up" and with that he woke up jolted sitting up right looking around before his eyes met the icy blue ones of Estella who looked at him with a small smile on her face

her eyes shifted around before falling on a certain piece on his nightstand, she pushed him back down standing up knowing she did her part in waking him up but when her hand left his cheek letting cold air hit it,

 his hands gripped her wrist softly pulling her back "stay" he said silently, the girl sighed before laying down besides him

"opium does not always work" she said as they laid there in silence, he sighed rubbing his eyes "when i close my eyes not only do i see the tunnels the dead soldiers the people trying to dig them back out i hear it too, the yelling for help the bombing the screams to let them go. and gun shot running through my head" he explained she grabbed his head holding him close before brushing his hair with her fingers

"so tell me, the robbery...was it you" she asked whispering hoping not to disturb the silence for too long , he nodded and soon opened his mouth while slightly closing his eyes "guns...i wanted to steal something else when my men stole something entirely different, guns, ammunition important guns" he said and Estellas breath hitched "your threw them in the cut right?" she asked stopping her finger from going through his hair while sitting up looking at the man who laid back
he shook his head making her sigh
"Thomas" she whined but was stopped by his hand cupping her cheek as he sat up just like she did seconds ago
"Tommy," he said his own name she gave him a weird look before he spoke again "' you called me Tommy' when you woke me up, the first time after i returned" he said and he looked away making his hand drop from her cheek, she did not want to admit it but she missed the warmth of his hands on her cheek

they laid back down, cuddled up with each other as she spoke "i know you, Thomas, I hope very well that you have a plan about those guns"she said and he chuckled

"i always do love," he answer to what she smiled in his face, she pushed her fingers along his cheek down to his jaw, and neck before whispering "then i believe you Tommy," she said his nickname with full off love making Thomas's heart stop for a view seconds before laying down with her, calming down in her presence before closing his eyes sleeping peacefully for the first time since he came back from France
