Vicky has been having treatment for 3 months. The first month was rough, could hardly move, nausea constantly and such horribly dizziness. It was enough to make anyone insane. Vicky had been told by some other kids on her ward that the first month is always bad. It gets better but then there are random months or weeks where they feel like death himself, until eventually, they feel better again. Luckily, vicky was feeling well for now. She went to the hospital for treatment every 2 weeks, and has to take several pills every day
It is hell on earth, but vickys entire life has been a flaming hot hell pit. This is just the icing on the cake. If that cake was a traumatic childhood. And that icing was cancer. Her treatment didn't appear to be interfering with her seizures. They havnt become any more frequent or less common as times gone by. Only nuisance is bouncer isn't allowed in hospital. And it is incredibly dangerous to have a needle in if she has a seizure. So there has to be a nurse by her side constantly ready to take out the needle if vicky starts having a seizure. It happened once and she was 4 hours in to her 6 hour long treatment. She had to start again
Currently, she was sat at the top of the stairs with bouncer listening to Tommy and polly argue. Grace went to bed early with a cold and had told vicky not to listen and to get some rest. Vicky clearly decided not to listen
"Thomas! How fucking blind must you be to not realise the danger you are causing!" Polly yells
"She'd be in more danger if we let it happen. Shes just a child polly"
"She's may be a child but she's still more bloody mature than you. What you are doing is making her an even bigger target to your enemies" polly was very angry, her emotions echoed off the walls
"Vicky will always be a target! It isn't fucking fair but its true. What im doing is protecting her. So long as they are around, she is in danger!" Tommy yells
"No, what you're doing is putting her at an even greater risk. God help that girl if she's got you as a father" vicky couldn't listen to it anymore. She Stood up with bouncer by her side and tiptoed down the stairs, to the front door
Trying not to get caught, vicky leaves the house only to be greeted by the guards
"Your job is to stop enemies getting past. I'm not an enemy. I'm just a teenager girl trying to have some fun. Now don't be a snitch and let me through" the men looked at one another before agreeing to stay silent much to vickys happiness. She walked off into the sunset, going to arthurs house. When she knocked on the door, she was let in by a very surprised Arthur
"Arthur! Thank god you're home. I need to talk to you" she says frantically getting inside and sitting next to the fire
"Vicky it's fucking freezing out there. Did you walk all this way?" He asks wrapping a blanket around her
"This would be a great conversation to have with a sandwich infront of me. Don't you agree?" Arthur rolled his eyes but went to get her sandwich. He made her a ham butty and put it on a plate on her lap
"Ta"
"Go on then, tell ya uncle Arthur what's been bathing you" Arthur says stealing a bite of her sandwich
"Polly and dad keep arguing. I can't talk to grace about it because she has a cold and dad is terrified ill catch something. Talking through walls isn't quite as private as I'd like" vicky tells him sadly
"If you've caught a cold walking here, your father will fucking kill me" Arthur grumbles
"Erm Arthur, I understand my health is important and all that crap. But I have an actual serious issue. Tell me, what's new with the peaky blinders?" Arthur just laughs
"Oh no, don't think you can come to me for information. If your dad hasn't told you something, it'll be for your own good"
"But that's the thing, him and polly are arguing. She keeps saying that what he's doing is putting me at risk and making me a bigger target. But dad says that he's protecting me and what he's doing is the safest option. I havnt spoken to either of them as I just left. Couldn't listen to their arguing for any longer or I'd fling myself from the bannister" vicky informed him
"I don't know what's going on vicky, that's the truth. But what I do know is your father is probably scared as fuck right now because his daughter thought it wise to wonder off" Arthur scolds her before walking off to call Tommy. This is not what vicky wanted from this conversation. She wanted Arthur to spill everything and tell her what they were arguing about. But vicky believes him. Tommy Is known for not telling anyone anything. Keeps stuff to himself until polly eventually figures it all out as she always does
The door flings open nearly off its hinges and Tommy storms in. He looks angry but first thing he does is hug vicky tightly. When he pulls away, vicky is positive she's in trouble
"Anything could've happened on your way here. What about your seizures?"
"I was fine, plus, I have bouncer" the dog pricks his ears up at the mention of his name
"Bouncer can't only tell us when you are having a seizure. He can't help in any way and he's useless if theres no one around anyway. We are going home now and we'll talk more then" Tommy walks out to the car and waits for vicky
"You didn't have to grass me up" she grumbles to Arthur before leaving with bouncer and getting in the car with Tommy. Angrily, Tommy drives off. Vicky just knew that she would be in alot of trouble once she got home. But this peaky business clearly involved her. So she would fight tooth and nail to find out the truth. It was only fair that she know what's going on in her own life
