Blind -A Thomas Shelby Fanfic-

Part 28: Something bad is coming.

Millie awoke to yells coming from downstairs. Her heart dropped as she heard Arthur arguing with someone. She immediately wrapped a robe around her body before scurrying down the stairs and into the parlor where the Shelby's stood around talking.

"Who the fuck blew up me pub?!" Arthur growled.

"We don't know yet Arthur, we need to look into it." Tommy pinched the bridge of his nose.

"Morning love." Polly smiled at her as she walked out from the kitchen with a tray of tea and tea cups.

"Everything alright?" Millie immediately rushed to help her.

"Someone blew up the pub." Polly whispered as the boys bickered.

"Shit." Millie mumbled as she looked over at Arthur who was trying not to lash out.

Millie knew Arthur had always struggled with his mental health. Unlike Tommy who tried to hide it all and swore he was working on it, Arthur didn't know how bad it was truly getting. Since the night he attempted to take his life, he had taken up boxing.

Since then he had became one of the most feared boxers. As of recently no one wanted to box him due to the fact that he always went overboard. Millie excused herself from Polly, going to calm him down.

"Good morning Millie." Finn smiled at her. Millie immediately wrapped her arms around the boy who now towered over her.

"You're so bloody tall love." Millie said as she pulled away. He blushed, looking down at his feet.

"Its all the food you fed me." Finn joked, kissing her cheek. She laughed with him for a moment before she excused herself and went to Arthur.

"Good morning boys." Millie smiled at the brothers, wrapping her arms around Arthur.

"Good morning." They said in unison, looking at the short blonde.

"I'm sorry about the pub." Millie said softly.

"It was a shithole anyway, now we get to rebuild." Tommy shrugged, sending her a small smile.

"It was me shithole, fuck!" Arthur yelled, pulling away from Millie and going to get himself a drink. Polly pulled Tommy away as John turned to Millie.

"He's been acting out lately." John eyed Arthur as Millie turned to watch the angry man.

"He's been a bit out of it." Millie agreed, looking away as Arthur ran a hand through his hair angrily.

"Whatever is wrong with him we need to fix it before he hurts himself or someone else. He's not a bad guy Millie." John looked at her.

"I know Johnny boy. Your brothers and you are sweethearts." Millie smiled softly, pinching his cheek.

"Oi, I'm a grown man!" John blushed as she laughed at him.

"You'll always be my Johnny boy." Millie smiled as he playfully rolled his eyes.

"Alright boys we need to get to the gambling den." Polly finally called out.

The boys immediately went to her as Arthur stayed back and told them he'd be there later. Millie said her goodbyes, hugging Polly and ruffling Finn's curls as they left. Once they were alone Millie turned to Arthur who was staring at her.

"Come'ere." Arthur called out to Millie. She walked over to him, looking up at him.

"I need you Millie." He sighed as he wrapped his arm around her.

"I'm here Arthur, I'll always be here." Millie stood on the tips of her toes as she kissed his cheek before wrapping her arms around his torso.

"I fucking love you Millie." Arthur rested his head on hers.
