Sofia // Peaky Blinders

26

Sofia looked down at the bleeding Tommy and knelt beside him. She tore the bottom of her dress and pressed it against his bullet wound. "I'm so sorry for not helping you Tommy". She said. He silenced her with a kiss on the lips.

She frowned slightly at the feeling of another mans lips on hers. She gently pulled back and frowned even more as she looked down at Tommy.

"Don't apologise love. Your only doing your job". She bit her lip and helped him up. "Keep pressure on that. When we get you home I'll help you". He nodded his head and let her lead him home.

They slowly hurried down the road, people's eyes on them as they past.

She opened the doors to his house and rushed inside. Arthur, Michael and Finn all stood up. "What the hell happened?" Arthur shouted. He rushed over and helped Sofia.

They brought him into the kitchen and placed him on the table. "Do you have a sowing kit?" She asked. Finn nodded and rushed off.

Sofia grabbed a bowl of hot water and some tea towels. "What happened?" Michael asked.

Sofia bit her lip and thanked Finn as he handed her the sowing tin. "He killed three of Luca's men. They got into a fight and Luca decided to be dirty so he used his gun". She answered.

She ripped open Tommy's shirt and sterilised the knife she was going to use. She gently sliced the area around his bullet wound. Tommy clenched his fists together in pain.

Sofia shot him a sympathetic look before digging out the bullet. She grabbed one of the teal towels and placed it over the wound. "Arthur place your hand on top of that and place pressure on there". She rushed into the living room, Michael hot on her heels.

"Are you okay, did he hurt you?" He asked. She turned around with a bottle of whisky in her hand. She smiled softly at Michael. "No I'm okay. It's Tommy you should worry about not me". She smiled as she rushed past him.

"Finn go find Polly" Arthur said. Finn nodded and quickly ran out the house.

"You can move your hands". She said. She ripped the cloth of his chest and poured the whisky over his wound. "Hey don't waste that". Arthur said snatching the bottle away.

Sofia frowned and argued back. "Would you rather him get infected?" When Arthur didn't answer she snatched the bottle away. "Exactly that was what I was thinking. I'll buy you another bottle". She muttered. Tommy snorted and muttered. "Your both like a married couple". Sofia looked at Arthur and smirked.

She poured the whisky over his wound again and said. "I need you both to hold him down".

They nodded and stood either side of him. Sofia got on top of the table and sat on the edge. "You can sit on top of me if you like". He muttered. She rolled her eyes and smirked. Her smirk dropped as he began to cough up blood.

She quickly showed up his cut in a neat pattern. "Sit him up". She said. They nodded and sat Tommy up. "Does it hurt when I press down here?" She asked. Tommy winced as she pressed his side. "He needs to be checked out by a doctor. He got kicked pretty hard in the side".

Arthur nodded. "Michael you get a doctor, I'll round up some men for protection in case that fucker is still around". Sofia watched as they both ran out of the kitchen.

She grabbed a cushion and placed it under his head. "You okay?" She asked. He nodded his head and grabbed the bottle of the whisky. "Why did you kiss me?" She asked.

He turned his head and smirked slightly. "I thought I was going to die so I thought one last kiss from an angel wasn't going to hurt". She smirked and rolled her eyes gently.

"I don't understand why a man would ever hit someone as beautiful as you. I'll make him suffer when I finally kill him". He muttered.

She smiled sadly and stroked his face, her eyes darting up to the door as it opened.

Finn rushed in with Polly, Michael was hot on there heels with a doctor behind. They all waited out in the sitting room as the doctor looked over Tommy.

"Any news?" Arthur asked as he walked in. Polly shook her head and placed her head in her hands. "This is all my fault". She muttered. Arthur shook his head and said. "It's nobody's fault okay? Tommy knew what he was getting into. Just be thankful he's okay". They all turned their heads as the kitchen door opened.

"Mr Shelby will be fine. He has a few bruises on his ribs but apart from that he will be fine". They all sighed in relief. "Thank you doctor". Arthur muttered as he walked him to the door.

Once he got back, he lifted Tommy up with the help
of Michael. "Let's get him to bed". He muttered.

Sofia watched as they brought him up to his room. After a few minutes they walked down the stairs. "I forgot to tell you all my men came back from Chicago". She muttered.

Arthur looked at her as she was lighting his cigarette. "And?" He asked. She smiled and answered. "Capone is on you side. He said he's going to send some men over. He also wants someone from the Peaky Blinders to go over to America to be a representative". Arthur smiled widely and walked over to Sofia.

He wrapped his arms around her waist and lifted her up. "Thank you so much". He muttered. She smiled widely.

"I better be off. I'll come back if I find out anything". They all nodded and watched as she walked away. "Tell Tommy to get better and also tell him about Capone. I think it will make him happy". She said to Arthur as he walked her to the door.

"I will and thank you once again". She smiled and waved goodbye as she walked away from the Shelby family.
