How Could A Heart Like Yours Love A Heart Like Mine

Monster

"Why did you invite me here?" I asked sobbing.
"I'm so sorry Grace, Polly invited her today. I had no idea." He said soft. He took a step closer to me but I took a step back. We both stayed quiet. I felt him looking at me but I kept staring at the ground.
"You're engaged" I whispered. I couldn't believe it.
"Call it off?" I asked him. I looked in his eyes but this time he looked away.
"I can't. She's a member of another gang. If I call it of now, I'll start a war. It's too late Grace." He said sad. I could hear the hurt in his voice.
"So what do you expect from me huh? You just want to have an affair with me? Have sex with me while your wife is waiting for you at home with your children?" I shouted. I was so angry at this point.
"You tricked me Tommy. You took that one special thing that I had from me, just because I was weak!" I screamed. He wanted to calm me down but I pushed him away.
"No Grace, I AM different around you. I knew what I was doing was wrong but I couldn't help it. I'm thinking about you all the time. I tried to get you out of my head but I can't. It's making me go fucking crazy!" He screamed. I was taken back by his anger. He noticed that he scared me.
"No please don't be scared of me. Grace I'm so sorry." He said soft. He pulled me into a hug. This time, I let him.
"Tommy I love you, I'm totally and completely in love with you. And I don't care if it's too late. I'm telling you anyway." I said confident. Oh god I can't believe what I said.
"Grace.. no you can't be in love with me. I'm a monster Grace. You're beautiful and I'll ruin you. Besides It's too damn late. You're too late." He said angry. I sighed.
"Well , then everything is said! I'll just leave so you can be happy with your future wife." I said angry while I pushed him away. I walked away from him. Every part of me hoped he would chase me. But he didn't. He stayed right where he was. When I looked over my shoulder he was looking the other way and smoking a cigarette. I was so angry. I walked straight to the area where the cars were parked but nobody was there. Oh well, it's only a 20 minute walk. I'll manage.

My thoughts were consuming me. How could I've been so stupid. Thomas Shelby? In love with me? I feel a fool for telling my feelings to him. He saw me as a toy and now he's done playing with me. The worst part is that everything I said was true. I felt so safe with him. But Tommy is, and will always be a monster. He can't love. He's going to marry someone for his business. Who does that?

I snapped out of my thoughts when I kept hearing an engine behind me. Wait was that car there the whole time? I started walking faster. Oh please pass me , please. It kept driving behind me. Tears were forming in my eyes, oh Thomas where are you to protect me now. He kept following me but I was sick of it. I stopped walking and turned around.
"STOP TORTURING ME, JUST TAKE ME." I screamed crying. I saw someone getting out of the car but I couldn't see who it was. The person kept getting closer until I finally saw who it was. I took a step back.

"Dad.."
