Thomas Shelby imagines-a new chapter

96.Back to black pt2

People were all chattering with each other,the Shelby family trying to put on their best look despite knowing this was not a right decision but they wanted what was right for Tommy

Tommy simply stood with Arthur at the steps inside the church in front of the priest waiting for his bride

Something about this being a good day ,wasn't happening something was bothering him a lot.His eyes kept searching around the room for her.

Something was telling him he was making a mistake.Arthur noticed his brothers eyes travelling around

"Tommy are you alright?"he whispered.Tommy was snapped out of it as he looked down on the ground

"Yeah I'm alright"he replied in a rather husky and disturbed voice.Just then the doors of the church opened catching everyone's attention

Tommy's eyes jerked up to the door only to have his heart drop inside his chest.

Y/n came from behind the door,with a smile on her face,hair peacefully resting on her shoulders,a beautiful beige silk dress playing with her curves,eyes glistening with tears and red with tiredness.A small basket rested in her hands from which she threw flowers onto his alley

She didn't even blink,and didn't even put down her smile but just kept throwing flowers on the ground to welcome his bride

The crowd stared with shocked eyes and so did the Shelby family.Polly looked at y/n with shock filled eyes and her hand on her heart

But y/n kept walking and she didn't stop until she finally reached Tommy.She grabs a handful of flowers and throws it up in the air staring into his eyes

Tommy looks down at her eyes filled with tears knowing how much he hurt her.And something about her just coming in front of him,dressed in the most beautiful way possible stopped him

And he realised Grace wasn't the one

"May you live a long life Tommy Shelby"she smiled sadly and took a step back from him.She kept walking back while Tommy remained stiff in shock

She turned around only to see Grace standing at the door in her dress.Y/n smiled at her and walked over to her while she walked to the alley.She smiled at grace and when she stopped in front of her,y/n corrected the way her necklace was placed and congratulated her.

Grace was confused but she politely replied back and y/n smiled turning around towards the door

Tommy couldn't see his bride to be anymore.All he had his eyes on was her.He wanted to run to her and grab her,kiss her and tell her all the things he felt for her for so long but it was too late

Grace was now already in front of him.

"Tommy"Arthur snapped him out of his trance and Tommy realised y/n wasn't there anymore.Tommy turned to Grace and the ceremony began with the first step to lift the veil

His shaking hands went up to the clothed veil and he picked it up.Her beautiful smile and bright eyes greeted him like heaven after death.Tommy's heart stopped beating yet again,he stared down at y/n with so much love in his eyes imagining her as his wife

But it was snapped yet again when he saw Grace's face again.The brightness dropped from his face as he stared at her plainly.It confused grace

"Tommy?"she asked but he took a step back.

"Tommy"Arthur said.But he put his hand down from the veil.

"No I'm not doing this"he replied breathlessly.Arthur held his brother trying to knock some sense into him

"Tommy what are you doing?"

"I'm doing the right thing"he said and rushed down the steps out the church.The royals from Grace's family stood up in shock and the Shelby family had small smiles on their faces

"What is he even doing?!"Grace's father shouted

"Goin after his chick is what"John chuckled blowing smoke out from his mouth and the royals stared at him in shock

Tommy ran as fast as he could rushing outside the church.

"Fuck"he noticed she was no where around and that he couldn't see a car or something.Tommy rushed to the gate of the church and looked down on the ground to see fresh tire prints on the gravel mud.

Tommy rushed to his car and took the keys out of his pocket and opened the car sitting inside quickly and starting it in a hurried motion.

His breathing was restless as he followed the trail of the tire marks on the dirty road.Tommy was far away from the church now and his heart raced when he saw a familiar black car in front of him

Tommy sped up the car on full speed.Y/n felt her vision starting to blur because of her tears.She sobbed slightly but suddenly a car overtook her and she had to pull the breaks with a loud screech

A gasp escaped her lips as she pushed on the breaks harshly.Tommy didn't waste time and he opened the door to the car

Her eyes were wide with shock,hair disheveled.She looked at Tommy coming out of the car.Her hands traveled to the car door lock and she opened the door walking out

"Tommy what-

"No don't say anything don't"he stopped her,his voice was heavy and husky.She stared at him in shock watching him walk closer to her

When he came a few steps closer he picked up speed and immediately sneaked his hand on her neck and placed his lips on hers.The actions shocked her making her body stop all its functions

She only closed her eyes and focused on that soft yet rough touch of his lips on hers.Tommy was a man who did not have any soft spot for anyone else in his heart except her

He could let his guard down in front of her and show his real side,his real love to her.She hugged her hands around his neck and they closed the gap in between,if there was any.

The two were so desperate about having this and having each other that letting go was the last thing they wanted.Tommy wasn't bothered about anything,not his wedding,not his business deal nothing

She was all he desired.

He pulled away just a little to look at her face only to see she was dumbfounded.She looked up into his eyes and when she did his face softened,her eyes were glossy and face was red by the kiss he gave her

Tommy brought his hand to her cheek and stroked her soft skin smiling to himself

"I'm sorry"is all he said putting his head on hers.And the two silently stood in the middle of no where holding each other close
