Devil meets the Devil

The Past is the Past

Amy had a restless night sleep, she had nightmares all night. She would dream of Noah being shot over and over again like a broken record repeating in her head to Tommy acting the way he did in her kitchen that evening. Glancing at the clock she noticed it was 5 am. Getting up from her bed she knew she wouldn't be able to sleep much longer. Getting herself ready she began walking the streets of Small Heath. Bags were gathering under her eyes, she knew she looked terrible but nothing sunglasses could cover. Amy began roaming the streets until she bumped into a male like figure.

"Watch where you are going next time" She spoke as she stepped back to look at the person. "Of course of all people to bump into in this shit town its the one person I don't want to see" She smiled smugly as she went to walk on he caught her arm and turned her towards him.

"Amy im sorry alright, Im sorry I said those things and burned your pictures, it wasn't my intention to hurt you I hope at least you know that" Tommy spoke guilt glazed over his eyes.

"Thank you for your apology but Im still not ready to forgive you, now leave me be I need to walk" Amy said as she walked away leaving Tommy to watch her as she walked on. He thought to himself about following her but knew best than to leave her be and come to him when she was ready. Amy turned the corner to be met with another Shelby.

"Christ, I cant seem to get away from any of you today" Amy said as she stepped back to look at John in front of her.

"Oi, What did I do to you" John smirked as he went to nudge Amy.

"Im sorry John, Im just not in the best of moods today, I didn't sleep and me and Tommy had a massive argument, your brother is an absolute dick if I ever came across one" Amy frowned as she gestured for John to walk with her.

"I heard what he done Am, That wasn't cool, especially for someone like him, hes ruthless but he shouldn't have done that to you, in his way that's him showing you he cares" John spoke with a pic sticking out his mouth.

"Funny way of showing it" Amy said as she looked to the ground.

"Cheer up Darling, look we have a family meeting at 10 later and we are finished for the day, how about we get smashed for the day, take your mind off things" John said as he continued walking with Amy.

"Now that's something I wont ever refuse, a day of drinking? lets do it John boy I deserve to be waisted today" Amy smiled as John put his arm over her head to tackle her into a side hug "That's my girl, come on we go throw rocks at the coppers office, fuckers doing my head in these days" John smirked as they headed in the direction down the street.

It had just hit 10 AM, John and Amy walked into the house laughing as they did until Amy grabbed Johns arm and made him turn to her.

"Thank you for that John, it brightened my mood to know someone actually cared to listen to me" Amy spoke as she gave John a hug. John smiled back nodding as he told her to head straight into the kitchen. Without them knowing Tommy was watching from afar. He didn't like what was happening but he couldn't do anything to control it. He was jealous of John, he wanted Amy to hug him like that but knew he had done wrong.

As Amy took her place at the table, she smiled at Polly as Polly gave her a concerned smile, she knew Amy was spiralling but didn't want to bring it up Infront of everyone, she would take to her later. Arthur smiled at Amy knowing of Tommys actions towards her the other night, he put his hand on her shoulder and leaned back in the chair, then followed Tommy, walking out of his office he looked at everyone and then at Amy, she looked directly out the window avoiding his gaze and waited for him to speak.

"Right, I plan to take down Billy Kimber, I have also formed another plan in taking over his Race Track and expanding to London, in London there is a man much bigger than us, Darby Sabini, he owns most Clubs in London which I plan to take from him" Tommy spoke to the group.
