Peaky blinders angel- Completed

I wont give up

Rose is 14. Finn is 18

Finn pov

I was sat in the garrison with isiah drinking away our afternoon. Lord knows where my brothers were. Rose was out with friends and ada was back at pollys House probably also drinking.

"I just wanna warn ya finn, i saw your rose down by the canal with a boy. Not just any boy. The weirdo she goes school with. Ya know the one who is always flirting with girls but is never actually seen with a girlfriend" isiah said to me. I felt a wave of anger wash over me.

"No! No way! Rose wouldn't hang around with a lad. She knows she isn't allowed!" I exclaimed. Isiah shrugged

"Well, just warning ya. Before she comes home knocked up one day" he said as he leant back and chugged the rest of his whiskey. The bastard. I stormed out the garrison and made my way to the canal. But when I got there, I didn't see rose nor that weird boy from school.

Instead i saw a copper looking agrivated and worn out. From experience, ever see a copper in these parts, don't speak, don't acknowledge them. Don't even breathe the same air. Just leave. And get out of their train of thought before you are the next person they interrogate.

I went home after that and saw rose sitting at the sofa with tears pouring down her face. She had her face in her hands and her body was shaking. The anger was immediately gone and replaced with over bearing sympathy. I rushed over to my little sister and held her in my arms as she leant into my embrace.

"Sweetheart, what happened? Was it that guy you were with? Did he hurt you? That bastard. Imma kill him" I all but yelled. She shook her head and looked up from her hands with bloodshot eyes

"No. Don't say that. He isn't a bastard. He is so nice. And he doesn't deserve it. He doesn't deserve any of it" she said she chocked back a loud sob

"What do you mean?" I asked. I saw Tommy standing in the doorway listening in on our conversation but thought it best not to tell rose. She was too upset for me to interrupt her

"I can't tell you finny. Want to so bad but I just cant" she whispered to me as tears continued to roll down her cheek

"You can tell me anything" I reminded her. But she simply shook her head

"No. I can't. I promised I wouldn't. If they find out they'll kill him" she said but quickly covered her mouth as she realised she said too much

"Who's gonna kill who?" I asked wearily

"Just trust me on this. Everything will be fine as long as I don't mention it. As long as I never tell anyone then nothing can go wrong" she said as she held my hands tightly. She kissed my cheek and ran past Tommy up to her room. Tommy walked in and looked at me for a minute

"What are we gonna do Tom?" I asked

"We aren't gonna do anything. She is a smart girl and she knows what to say...and what not to say" I nodded understandingly.

Rose pov

The next day I woke up still terrified to my core. You may all be wondering what is going on. Well I'm afraid I can't tell you. I promised didn't I? And promises are something that should never be broken. Especially when a life hangs in the balance.

I went downstairs and hoped that things with finn wouldn't be awkward. But guess what! I was wrong. He was treading footsteps amongst me. Worried that he may say something to set me off. I understand of course. He doesn't know why I was crying so he finds it harder to avoid that subject. Since he doesnt know what the subject is. But I am sure he will never bring up the subject. It isn't really something people talk about. Not in my house anyway.
