A.N: This is more of a straight to the point chapter so its short. I'm having writers block so if you have any ideas please let me know.
TW: Mention of Addiction, overdose
There is smut in this chapter toward the end. Spicy time.
As the sun shinned through Tommy's window Vivian awoke first. She had been staying with Tommy for awhile but no one had caught on yet. Nothing more than sleeping next to each other though. They helped with each others nightmares. She would come in the back entrance when everyone was asleep. She had fallen asleep half on top of Tommy. Her leg between his and her hand on his chest. His arm was wrapped around her shoulders with his hand resting on her neck. She just watched him sleep for a moment. His breathing was steady and he looked so peaceful. Vivian managed to snake her way off of Tommy and into the bathroom. She took a quick shower and got changed for the day. She went into her bag and realized she had forgotten to pack the coke she laid out at her house. She looked in the mirror and saw how sweaty she was, yet she was freezing. Withdrawal. Tommy didn't know, she didn't want him to. She grabbed a towel and just wiped her face with it. Once it stopped she left the bathroom in her suit for the day. She left to see Tommy awake and in bed still.
"Good morning." She said smiling.
Tommy groned clearly wanting to go back to bed "Good morning." He paused and stared at her for a moment before he continued "You're shaking." He looked concerned and he got out of his bed to come over to her in noting but his boxers and grabs her hands with his. She won't look at him.
"Are you okay?" Tommy asked as he grabbed her face.
She sighed "Yeah. Just anxious for today. I have to go home though."
"Why?" He wondered.
"I need more cloths. I'll meet you at the Garrison at 0900" She stated. Vivian didn't lie because she did need more but she also didn't tell the whole truth. Tommy nodded and she was off. Getting back to her flat about a 30 minute walk from the Shelbys she headed upstairs. She quickly changed into a new outfit and did a line which caused her shaking and sweating to stop. She headed for the pub at 0830 and made it by 0850. She instinctively went to the bar and asked for a shot of Irish whiskey. She started talking to Harry when Daniel walked in the pub and came over to Vivian and the Shelbys went to the backroom.
"Morning Daniel." She said and nodded for another drink.
"Morning. So what's the whole plan?" He asked.
"Sit" he does "Here's the run down. The Lee's and Shelby's are working together against Kimber. The guns are safe where Danny is "buried" as you know. Tommy and I are going to split up I believe and then there will probably be a war that no one givea a shit about. Thats the gist. You are still being a guard for Kimber." She stated with authority and Daniel nodded and left. Vivian headed back to the room with the Shelbys.
As far as the rest of the family was concerned Vivian still wasn't fan of them. Only Polly and Tommy knew different so the 3 acted the part and only spoke to each other when needed. When she walked in they all just looked at her.
"Drinking already?" Tommy said.
"Smoking already?" Vivian snapped back.
After that they ran over the plan one more time and they all made sure that Vivian told Daniel the plan and she of course did. After talking for another hour, someone called for Vivian in particular.
"I need Vivian" A man yelled. All the Shelbys looked at her and she left to go talk to the man. Only to set her eyes on Daniels brother.
"Everyone out!" She yelled and without hesitation the pub was empty with just the Shelbys listening.
