"Run for the hills! It's the Digbeth Kid!" Arthur yelled, running into Polly's home.
"GET OUT OF TOWN KID OR I WILL SHOOT YOUR FUCKING HEAD OFF!" John shouted at his brother, holding his gun up in the air. "TIMES UP!" Arthur pretend shot him. John froze, staring at the tall brunette boy stood next to his Aunt.
"You're dead. Go down John!" Arthur insisted. He soon spotted the boy too, putting his gun away. "So Polly- who's this?" Arthur snickered.
"This is our cousin, Polly's son. Michael." Tommy introduced, as the young boy held a hand out to each of his cousins.
"I'm Arthur. You've met me, I used to throw you out of the window so John could catch you." I scoffed at Arthur's pathetic attempt of a greeting. "I used to put you in a shoe box and kick you down Watery Lane." John joined in, shaking his cousins hand.
"I'm Lilah." I finally introduced, pulling the boy into a hug.
"Welcome to the Shelby family Michael." Tommy said placing a hand on his shoulder.

"So you're going to close up the shop. Go out on a piss up, and blow a thousand guineas on a horse that's not even whole Arab." Polly spat, as me and Michael walked through the door.
"I thought I told you to keep him out of here." Polly scolded me. "It's not her fault mum. Look, I've been listening. I want to go with them" The boy defended.
"YOU SEE?!" Polly cried.
"I love horses, I could even help!" Michel continued, "Over my dead body." Polly cut him off.
"Let him go Polly. We'll go there, buy a horse and come back." Arthur tried to convince. "No, fucking no." And with that, Michael stormed out of the room.

"Where are we going?" I asked my boyfriend curiously. "Can't tell you, we're nearly there though." He said.
"Open your eyes."
I did as Isiah said, revealing a beautiful picnic laid out on the grass. "Wow Isiah, this is so beautiful!" I turned around to face him, but he was already down on one knee.
"Lilah Shelby, will you marry me?"
"YES ISIAH, OF COURSE I FUCKING WILL!" I cried as he slid the ring on my finger, kissing me passionately.
