Alfie's POV
"He's getting married?" I asked stunned We were stood in the waiting room, trying to make sense of Arthur's incessant rambling until he blurted out that apparently Tommy was getting married!
Since when was Tommy even bothering an unfortunate lass let alone marrying one "I knew that bitch would get her claws in somehow... is he even sure it's his?" Polly asked, earning a quick nod from Arthur.
"Right. Okay, you can't tell Mar, no one can, not yet" she said matter of factly "Why?" I asked confused, Nala seemed adamant that Mar only had feelings for me.
"He's the reason she was left bleeding in the hay... he hasn't come to see her-" "Because you wouldn't let him" Arthur interjected, earning a scowl from Polly "I know... but she doesn't know that, as far as she's concerned he hasn't come to see her. Yes she's pissed but Tommy and her are close. Fighting or not you're there for family" she explained.
I suppose she was right. She was still recovering. She didn't need to know that Tommy was getting married, or about the man in the hallway yet. "Well where do we go from here?" I asked "The doctors said she can come home in a few days, she can stay with me" Polly said, her tone leaving no room for debate.
"She needs to be in London. She can stay with me" I said, but she immediately shook her head "No. She can't be thinking about work right now" she said, walking off back into the hospital room I followed after her and saw Mar sat up in bed, trying to take the wires and tubes off her.
"Mari please stop" Nala asked frantically "I'm fine Princess, I just need some rest, not the fucking hospital" she mumbled "Dove I don't think that's a good idea" I tried, walking closer to her.
"Don't Alfie. I'm fine, I just need some rest, I need my own bed" she explained, swinging her legs over the bed and hissing at the pain in her abdomen.
"Mar... you need rest, get back in bed-" "Shut up Pol, if I say I'm fine then I'm fucking fine, so either get me some clothes or back off" she snapped. "Hey... hey it's alright, I'll get some clothes" Nala said calmly, disappearing out of the room.
"Are you sure you're okay? There's no point leaving if your body's gonna shut down immediately after" Polly tried again "I'm. Fine. Alfie, can you drive me home please?" She asked, trying to breathe properly as she sat on the edge of the bed I nodded immediately.
Tommy's POV
"You're getting married?" Polly shouted at me from across the table The betting den occupied by only me, her and Arthur as she ranted continuously "Yep" I said blankly.
