Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

52.A little sick

Stumbling through the doors of the den,y/n came inside with her head down and hidden behind her hat.

"I apologise everyone...I'm not feeling well and won't be attending work-today"she mustered the courage to speak further.Everyone in the room looked at her with concern

"Excuse me"she said and left just like she came.Polly looked at Arthur

"What's happening to her?Go call Tommy John!"polly shouted.

Y/n opened the door to her house and closed it behind.Breathing heavily she felt like her whole body was burning,like someone had ahold of her throat and was choking her to
death

"I need a drink"she mumbled and walked towards her cabinet with imported whiskey bottles kept there.

Taking one with her weak hands she sat down on the couch and poured some in her glass,spilling some out with it

As soon as she was about to take a sip her house door bursted open.She could hear urgent footsteps

Sighing to herself she kept the glass down with weak hands and kept her elbows on her knees.

"Why didn't you tell me y/n?You're not well and you came to work to tell that?!"he scolded her walking to her and picking her up

"Its f-fine Tommy I'm alright"she groaned and protested weakly.He scoffed rolling his eyes at the way she was acting

When they were kids y/n used to fall sick and would never accept it and Tommy had to stay with her the whole time because she wouldn't take care of herself and would rather die

"Come on get up let's go"she put her arm around his neck and she simply expected him to walk with her but he picked her up startling y/n

She looked into his eyes without saying a word and locked her arms around his neck.He walked up the stairs and opened the door to her room with his foot

"God you're heavy"he mumbled and she slapped his cheek making him smirk coyly.He put her on the bed softly which was very unexpected from him

Y/n didn't say another word and watched as he put the blanket on her and walked out the room.She looked up the ceiling quietly feeling her cheeks warm up

He came back in with a wet towel and a bowl.He dragged a chair beside her bed and sat down on it

"Now I'm not good at this but I learnt it from Polly"he said and put the towel on her forehead,it fell slightly and she put it back in place chuckling a little

"Yeah yeah I know"he huffed and looked at what he did

"Alright love I think my work here is done"he awkwardly stood up not knowing what more to do but she grabbed ahold of his hand

He turned his head around and looked down at her beautiful face

"Sit for a while"she smiled

So Tommy sat back with her...and they talked for what seemed like hours until y/n finally fell asleep and he quietly watched her completely forgetting that he had work to do
