Childhood Memory (Finn Shelby)

Part 11

A/N double update, yay! So proud of myself. Anyway, remember, if you have any constructive criticism, it is welcome, and I'd love some feedback xx

Michael's 18th birthday came and she practically saw no one for that whole week. Everyone was either too busy working or too busy working. Elsie was debating whether or not to head back to her house to train Hellion. Apparently he was improving, he still wasn't 100% rideable yet, but he was getting there.

Elsie decided to go to the Shelby Company Limited (which she finally learnt the name) to try and find someone, she was about to open the door when Michael and Isaiah walked out. "Hi!" She said happily, glad she found people to talk to, "where're you off to?" She then asked.

"To the Marquis for a drink, come with?" Isaiah replied and she quickly agreed.

"Is Finn joining us or?"

"He's busy" Isaiah told her and he spotted the frown on her face, "you like him don't you?"

"Of course I like him, he's my friend" Elsie said.

Isaiah shook his head and walked with Michael in front, Elsie trailing along behind them.

They entered the pub and got to the bar, "three dark mild" Michael said but Isaiah shot that idea down.

"Fuck that. We're Peaky boys, and girl" he winked at Elsie, "two whiskeys, Elsie what would you like?"

"Cider please" she said with a smile. Afterwards she'd have to ask him what they meant by "Peaky boys/ girl".

"And a cider for the lady" Isaiah said. Michael lit a cigarette and cringed at it. "You get used to it." Isaiah told Michael, "then you can't stop"

A man whistled and the three of them turned around and saw a man. "I don't drink with blacks"

"And I don't drink with assholes so what's your point" Elsie said to the man with a disgusted look on her face, Michael sniggered at her response.

"Here we fucking go" Isaiah said to the man.

"Paddy, they're okay" the bartender said to the man as he was preparing their drinks.

"Not with me they're not" 'Paddy' said. "I don't drink in pubs with blacks"

"So leave" Micahel said simply.

"Look, my dad's the preacher around here. He has connections. Ask anybody" Isaiah told Paddy.

Paddy scoffed, "I don't give a fuck who he is"

"I'm telling you to leave it, Paddy" The bartender warned.

"And I'm telling this darkie to get out of here" Paddy said.

"You know something? Fuck off" Isaiah said.

"It's all right, Isaiah, leave it" Micheal put a hand in front of him. "We'll go to my cousin's pub"

"I like it here" Isaiah said, getting in Paddy's face.

"You fucking n*****" Paddy spat at Isaiah and threw a punch at him.

Multiple people either screamed or if they were a friend of Paddy's, they joined the fight. At one point Elsie punched a man's jaw but in return got hit by one thrice as hard, her nose started bleeding and she called that man plenty of colourful words before kicking him in the groin.

Once most of the men were knocked out Paddy lunged at Michael and trapped him in between the bar and himself. "Paddy!" The bartender shouted. "The white kid is a Peaky Blinder! He's Polly Shelby's son and the Lady is Finn Shelby's girl" as soon as those words registered in Paddy's mind he let go of Michael and backed away. "He's Polly Shelby's son! Are you fucking suicidal?"
