Chapter 60 Tommy Shelby

"Good Evening Mr Shelby" Y/n mumbled placing down a whisky bottle and glass. He thanked her placing down a few coins.

"Harry said..." Y/n began he shook his head, drinking down the glass of whisky.

"Take it as a tip then" Tommy mumbled, she took it placing it in the till.

"An honest woman" Tommy said she looked back with a raised eyebrow.

"If you need anything else Mr Shelby just give me a shout...hey!" Y/n shouted walking back around the bar as a few rude men broke a few glasses, Y/n sighed as they shouted loudly.

"Sorry sorry love!" One of them shouted she just knelt down sweeping the glass up.

"Everything alright here?" John said from behind her.

"We were just having some fun" another guy said.

"Well go have fun in some other pub" Arthur spat, they nodded hurrying off.

"What can I get you gentlemen?" Y/n said placing the glass in the bin.

"Yer hands bleeding" Harry said holding out a towel, she took it wrapping it round her hand.

"Gents" she said again.

"Vodka, and Arthur what did you want?" John shouted he poked his head out the small hatch.

"Beer, maybe some whisky" Arthur said Y/n nodded grabbing a couple pint glasses and then a bucket of beer walking in she placed it down then retrieved the vodka and whisky's placing everything down.

Quickly walking back out, Tommy's eyes following her body.

"She looks tired" John commented, Arthur nodded while Tommy sat up straight discarding his paper.

"Harry said she's been working everyday trying to pay rent" Tommy explained.

"Come on Tommy, she was..." Arthur was cut off as Tommy placed down his glass breaking it in the process hearing a knock at the door.

John stood opening it.

"Need me to clean the glass?" Y/n asked Tommy only, she walked in cleaning the glass from the table, retrieving a plaster from her apron she placed it on the small cut now on his palm after making sure there was no glass in it.

"I'll get you another glass" she said hurrying out.

"Please Tommy" John said, he looked up and nodded.

"I'll talk to her, don't forget she left me" Tommy spat standing up and walking out.

"Is he okay?" Y/n asked walking back in glass in hand.

"Just tired, you should head home you look tired and it's quiet today" John said.

"It's alright I'm closing up tonight" Y/n said he shook his head.

"Harry I'm taking Y/n home!" John called, opening the door, he pulled her along while Arthur got her bag and coat.

Placing the coat on her shoulders.

"Head home and get some sleep" Arthur said walking away with his brother she sighed heading towards her house.

"Everything alright?" A rough voice came from the dark, she looked towards it as a cigarette was lit, the flame lighting up Tommy's blue eyes, she sighed with a smile moving towards him.

"Hello Mr Shelby" Y/n whispered.

"Tommy" he said his voice distant and painful she nodded swallowing down the pain of her heart.

"I'll walk you home" Tommy said she mumbled a thank you walking beside him, his arm wrapping round her waist.

"You look tired" Tommy whispered.

"I guess I am" Y/n mumbled, he nodded pulling out a cigarette from his own pack placing it between her lips, he lit it for her and then resumed walking.

"Look...if you can't pay your rent...you can just move back in with me, save the money you get and then get a safer place" Tommy quickly said, Y/n looked towards him stiffening.

"I can't live in that house Tommy" Y/n whispered.

"It's safer" he said his voice rough as she stopped walking looking back at her.

"Tommy, the memories" Y/n whispered clutching her jacket.

"But I'll be there I'll keep you safe" Tommy said moving towards her, he came to stand right in front of her, his rough hand moving to her scarred cheek, laying gently against it.

"Please, I'll know you're safe" Tommy said, his thumb running over her cheek bone.

She dropped her head into his hand missing his touch, her eyes moving to his eyes, then to his lips.

"Tommy" Y/n whispered tears in her eyes, her lips moving to his he gripped her hips pulling her towards him.
Kissing each other, pulling at his shirt.

"Tom...Tommy" she said breaking away tears falling down her cheeks, she gasped moving away. Y/n turned hurrying away her breathing rapid as Tommy stumbled. Hearing her breathing he shook his head.

Hands on his thighs as he regained his own breath still hearing her hurried footsteps until they came to a stop, he looked up seeing her stop.

Breathing still harsh, watching her look back at him seeing the tears falling down her cheeks hand on her chest, taking off again down an alleyway.

"Y/n!" He called hurrying after her, he listening for her heels until he caught up to her.

"Y/n!" He called again seeing her standing near the cut.

"I'm sorry Tommy" she said looking at him.

"Why?" He spoke softly reaching for her hand.

"Everything, for breaking up with you, for not dealing with my shit, for acting as if everything's totally fine and we are complete strangers! For Christ sake I've been calling you Mr Shelby for months!" She shouted angrily.

"I know" Tommy said defeated.

"What?" She asked through tears, wiping her tears she dropped her hand hating to feel the long scar.

"I know you haven't been okay, I know because I haven't either...we were going to get fucking married, and then that bastard broke into my home!" He shouted punching the wall over and over, she moved towards him grabbing his fist.

"Breathe Tommy breathe" Y/n said pulling him into her chest, he dropped against her kneeling into the gravel she sighed feeling it dig into her knees bringing her back to reality.

"I'll move in with you, I will as friends...for now" Y/n whispered he looked up at her touching her cheek, his lips moving to hers once again.

"Come on" he said pulling her up after he stood walking towards his home.

Y/n slept in his bed that night while he slept on the floor beside the bed hearing her small cries and whimpers until he got in beside her, she slept comforted by his warmth.
