Our Love- Peaky Blinders- Complete

The spat

Sunday

Georgia pov

After the shopping, I had slept at Arthur's house with rose. It was mostly silent and we didn't have our usual late night conversations. I won't lie. I really wasn't in the mood. Panick attacks aren't normal for me. But that isn't to say I'm immune to them. And everytime, it just knocks all the energy out of me, so my once gobby mouth now just shuts up. Mum always says it's a bonus. So instead of talking, we spent all last night to just lay in silence, holding one another for that extra emotional support that my 16 year old arse so desperately needs

Me and Rose were now sat in her room, drawing peacefully sharing a few glances every now and then and a few half smiles. She was sat at her desk and I was lay on my stomach across her bed feeling blue. I just still hadn't fully recovered from my panic attack, I know, its silly. You're probably thinking I should be over it by now, but if I have a panick attack, then the rest of my week goes to shit

"Hey G. Can I ask you something?" Rose says to me breaking the silence

"Sure" I say sitting up

"Why did you have a panick attack?" Rose asked so bluntly that it took me by surprise. I stuttered for a whole before finding my answer

"I don't think that's any of your concern" I say defensively, refusing to raise my voice

"Gia, I just want to help. I'm not judging you-"

"Yes you are. You're not trying to but you show no understanding or care and I'd prefer if we just forgot about it" my voice raised slightly and the jump from rose showed it shocked her almost as much as it did myself

"I swear I'm not judging. I just want to know what caused it. Was it the boys or me hitting them? Because i-"

"Shut up. Just shut up. I don't know why I had that panic attack ok. It's not like it was by choice. I'm going home so just leave me alone" I interrupted storming out of roses room and running down the stairs until I eventually left the house

Rose pov

I chased after Georgia down the stairs as I apologised constantly. I never meant to hurt her but clearly I had done. The minute the door slammed, I gave up and realised that she wanted some time alone. Tears swelled in my eyes and as I turned around, i saw Arthur Tommy and Alfie Solomons stood there watching me. Clearly a meeting had just been finished but u had bigger issues right now

"Where's gia? You two are normally joined at the hip" Tommy commented. My lip quivered at the mention of her name resulting in Arthur opening his arms for me. The second I ran into his embrace, everything came crashing down

"I....I think gia hates me and its all my fault" I sobbed into Arthur's chest ad he stroked my hair

"Come on. Sit down and tell uncle Alfie all about it ay love" Alfie said pulling a chair out for me. I took a seat next to him and opposite my brothers and got ready to tell them what happened. However, as I thought of how to word things, I realised id have to tell them them about my trips to London. Alfie already knows of course because he spotted me one day and has got some guards to watch me much to my hatred. However I know for a fact that all the men who harassed me are dead now because of his guards

"Some boys cat called me and gia so I slapped one in the face and then gia had a panick attack and when I asked her why, she got all defensive and probably hates me forever and now I realise I shouldn't pushed her to speak and I feel awful and I just want my gia" I said that all in one sentence incredibly fast but not fast enough. As by the end, i was sobbing into my knees. Alfie pulled me to him allowing me to lean into his hold

"Who were these lads?" Tommy asked

"Tommy! Come on. That was yesterday. No one cares about history. I'm on about the present day. Me and gia. She hates me. Come on dude. Real problem here" i yell at my brother as he rolls my eyes at my priorities

"Don't worry Tommy, those kids are well and truly dead" Alfie said

"Thank you uncle alfie" I said hugging him as I sniffed back my tears

"We'll discuss that matter later" Tommy said angrily at Alfie

"How do I apologise?" I asked looking at my brothers

"People don't want apologies. They want confessions. You go to gia and you list all the ways you upset and hurt her and everything you did wrong. Hopefully then she will feel understood and be able to forgive you" I smiled weakly as I got up and ran out of the room quickly, wanting to make things right

Then I remembered something. I ran back into the room and gave everyone a kiss and a hug and thanked them

"I'll see you soon uncle Alfie" I said

"My bakery is always open love" he said kissing my forehead before letting me rush out the door and run all the way to Georgia's House. And boy did I run. All the way until by the end, i was a sweating mess. Mrs Banks was pegging her washing up as I ran past her, almost knocking everything out of her hand. But now was not the time to apologise. Well not to her anyway. My aim was to make things right with Georgia.

I ran up to her room and barged in, finding her sat sadly against her window pane, only looking at me when I coughed

"Rose. What....how...why?" She was stuttering from nerves and confusion which was hardly surprising

"Listen, what I said was horrible. I never should've retaliated against those idiots. It made me seem as bad as them. I shouldn't have left you whilst I hit him because it was stupid of me and I know it scared you. And I definitely never should've pushed you to explain yourself to me. I was being idiotic and selfish and I just hope you can forgive me" I cried not allowing the tears to fall

"I love you" Georgia wept as she pulled me in for a hug making me smile widely

"I love you too" I said hugging her back as we laughed

"Wow. Our first fight" Georgia said

"And let it be our last" I held out my pinky finger and she did the same. With one link of the finger, we had bound ourselves together by the pact of friendship......friendship....just friendship
