It'll always be you// Tommy Shelby

3

It was early in the morning as I start heading over to the field putting my hands together and bowing them making a howling sound come out

"There she is" I said putting her nose

"Here"giving her an apple

"I got to go I will see ye when I get back" I said kiss her and walk in to Town 

I was the first one to arrive at the Garrison so I started to clean up wiping down the counters and tables wiping out glasses

I pick up a bucket and there's something in it throw up maybe? I don't know I walk to the side door throwing The liquid out and.... almost hitting Thomas Shelby on my

"I'm sorry mr.Shelby" I said looking down

"Tommy Anastasia"

"R-right sorry.......what's his name?" I asked just now seeing the Beautiful white horse next to him

" he doesn't have one"

" Poor thing deserves a name"

" do you have something you want to say to me Anastasia?" He says looking at me..nervously I rub my lips together scared to ask him and before I knew it I was speaking

"The other day ye came in the pub when I was singin...ya...ya said it wasn't allowed... I want... i'd like there to be one night of singin a week I think it's good for people and Harry was Too afraid to ask you and grace said she wasn't going to"

" but you're not"

"No no I am I just.."

"You just what Ana?"

"I just like to sing"I said quietly looking down there was a minute of silence before he spoke again

"Do you like horses?" he asked

" yes I have one at home actually" I said petting the horses nose

"You do?.... how would you like to make some extra money?"

"Doing what?"

" get out a nice dress.... i'm taking you to the races" he said getting on his horse riding off without letting me answer

" trouble Anastasia.... that man is trouble" I whisper to myself walking back inside

"Hello" Grace said as I walk back in

"Hi... ready?"

"Yep" she said as our day begin

I was about the end for the day when harry came up to me

"Ana I was wondering if you would close up tonight I would like to go to the picture"

"Ye that's fine" I said as he grabbed his coat thanking me on the way out

"Where's he going" Grace as coming from the back

" to the picture"I said drying the glass in my hand

"Oh"she said

" something wrong?"

" I have some personal business I needed to do but I can stay"

"Oh! No no I got it ye can go"

" are you sure?"

"Ya Grab ye coat it's rainin... good night" I waved her off locking the door after she leaves

Going back to the counter finishing drying the glasses when there was a bang on the door going over to it I unlock it and crack it to see a very wet Tommy

" we're closed Mr. Shelby" I said quickly backing up as he pushes his way through

" just get me a drink" was all he said nodding my head I walk behind the bar getting a bottle of whiskey and a glass

"Here" i said he Took the grass as he walks to a table and sits down

" I will leave ye alone" I said walking out from behind the bar

" came here for company" he said pouring him another glass

"Where is Harry?...and the other one" he asked

" he took the night off went to see the picture and Grace had some personal things to do" I said shrugging my shoulders sitting down in the chair in front of him

"How's that beautiful Horse of yours?" I asked

" I just put a bullet in his head"

"H-ho... was he lame?"

" he looked at me the wrong way it's not a good idea to look at Tommy Shelby the wrong way" he said wandering his eyes slightly I didn't know what to say it was a beautiful horse

" what a waste"

" a waste it was.......you know in France... in France I got used to seeing men die never the horses they died badly" he said there was a few minutes of silence before I broke it

" got a dress like ye asked me" I said not knowing what else to say

"Good.... The king will be there"

"King?"

" King Billy kimber and all his men"

"What do I do?"

" for 2 pounds you do what I say"

" I want three... if I'm meetin a king I don't wanna wear a cheap dress"I said and almost got a smile from him

" and I want to sing that's part of it too"

" since when"

" since ye almost smiled..... Saturday nights open and easy That's what Grace did in Dublin"

" she never worked there she lied to you I asked around about her and you and unlike you she lied nobody knows who she is.... my guess girl from a good family got herself pregnant and it ruined her life so I'm right and Polly's wrong"he said I got nervous for a second but he still didn't know that good so I decided to continue on with the conversation

" about what?"

"My sister pregnant and not married it...doesn't matter"

"Ye know.... my mom had my brother at 18 or so...about 4 1/2 months into her pregnancy she met my dad...and he love her the same and he treated my brother just like his own he was his son he didn't care he was from another man he love him just the same even gave him his last name"I said it True but my dad did not care

"Huh"Was all he did

"I wouldn't tell anybody"

" do i look like I'm the type of person to tell things?" he said looking at me as I look at my lap playing with my fingers

"What do you sing?" he asked

" whatever ye want"

" right.... get on the chair" he said Pouring himself another glass as I get up and get on the chair

" sad or happy?"

"Sad"

" all right I must warn you I'll break your heart"

"already broken" he says nodding his head

"Early in the morning still get a little bit nervous....find my anxiety Constantly I try to control it
Even when I know it's been forever I can still feel the spin hurts when I remember and I never wanna feel it again

Don't know if you get it because I can't express how thankful I am...that you were always with me when it hurts I know that you'll understand....I don't wanna lose—control..... nothing I can do—anymore

Trying every day when I hold my breath Spinning out in space Pressing on my chest
I don't wanna lose—-control " I finish as he just looks down at his lap
