Little Town

One-shot

Raina walked to the football field with her gym bag hanging on her shoulder, Coach Taylor looked up from his clipboard.

“Your late, Harrison.” He went back at his clipboard marking her present as she set her bag on the bleachers, “Sorry, coach.” She mumbled walking past him to join the rest of the team.

“Hey, you good?” Coach Taylor stopped her, “Yeah, I’m fine.” Eric Taylor watched as she walked away from him as she stood next to Landry.

“Alright, let get started.”

“As we are in our third quarter of the big game, folks and the Panthers and visitors are tied! can they win this game?” The Spokesman says as they watch from the tower, Raina shook her leg anxiously as she sat on the bench. Couch Taylor looked back every now and then to see her look back at the bleachers, Eric looks towards one of his players.

“Lance, get your ass over here.” He whistled as Landry jogged over, “Yeah, coach?” He asked out of breathe wiping sweat from his face.

“What’s wrong with Harrison?” He asked keeping his eyes on the field, Landry looked back at his friend and back at his coach, “No idea, couch. ” he shrugged, Eric looked away from the field glaring at Landry.

“This is not the time to bullshit me, Clarke. We are almost to our last quarter of our game and I need all my best players out there.” Landry scrunched up his face as Eric scowl him.

“She kill me if I told. ” he said, Eric looked at at Raina as she had her face in her hands, he faced back at the field, “Look at the field, Lance.” Landry looked confused at his coach request, so he slowly turned his back away from Raina and the crowd.

“Is it bad?” He said folding his arms as he focus on the game, “Sir-” Landry starts.

“I’m not asking as your coach, I’m asking as a teacher whose worried about one of their students.” Landry signed.

“She got in an argument with her uncle, and that all she would tell me.” He said, Eric nodded before patting Landry on the back.

“That’s all I need to know. “ he said walking away, Landry watched as Coach Taylor walked up to his wife and whispered in her ear before both turning to look at Raina.

“I’m dead.” He said whispered to himself as he runs back on the field.

Raina looks up as Eric called her, “Yeah, coach.”

“I’m putting you in.” He said well writing on his clipboard making Raina sighed trying come up with an half ass excuse, only to be shut down, “This is not up for discussion, grab your helmet.” He walked away calling the team. Raina rolled her eyes going to grab her helmet, she looked backed at the bleachers trying to find either her aunt or uncle but coming up empty. She sighed putting her helmet on and standing with the rest of the team.

“We are in the fourth quarter of the game, Starting running back Smash Williams snapped the ball to quarterback Matt Saracen, who handed off to fullback Raina Harrison, who sweep around left end. Passing it to Tim Riggins capping a six-and-a-half-minute drive with the game-winning touchdown pass with 23 seconds remaining.” The crowd roared as Tim made the touchdown, Raina took her helmet as she watched the team celebrate. She made her way off the field trying not to be notice by anyone, she makes her way into the girls locker room.

Eric watched as Raina leave, he makes his way through the crowd of people towards his wife.

Raina threw her helmet against the lockers, she took in deep breathe. She smashed her fist against the wall repeatedly until her felt numb. 

“Raina?” Raina spin around to face Tami Taylor, “ Is everything okay?” Raina wiped her face from the tears.

“Yeah, why wouldn’t they be.” She shrug taking a seat on the bench, Tami walked closer taking a seat next to her, “ Beside from your bloody knuckles..’ Raina quickly hide her hands as she folded her arms, “ And the way you been acting all day, I say you didn’t have a good day.” she watched as Raina frowned,

“You want to talk about it?” 

“Its nothing, just stupid family drama. You wouldn’t understand”

“I think I know a think or two about family drama.” Tami gave Raina a sweet smile but sad smile. Raina didn’t know what to say to that she always thought the Taylor family was one of those happy families you see on tv, Raina looked down wondering if she should tell what's been happening at home.

“You don’t have to tell me now, we can just sit here if you like.” She adjust her purse as she got comfortable in her seat, Raina or Tami said a word. They just sat there in comfortable silence.

“Do you think there’s more to life than football?” Raina asked the burning question hat been nagging her for days, Tami thought for a minute.

“I don’t think so, why do you asked.” 

“Because that’s how my uncle feels, football was his whole life back in the day so it has to be mines too.” 

“ I’m sure he didn’t mean it like that.”

“He said and I quote the only way your leaving Dillion is with a football scholarship other than that you never leaving this place. “ Raina looking at Tami, “And I think he might be right.” she said rubbing the tears from her eyes.

“Raina-”

“Raina, oh sweetheart.” Raina and Tami looked up to see Ellie rushing in, “Aunt Ellie” Raina met her half way hugging her.

“ I’m sorry. I missed your game.” Ellie pulled away from the hug and gasp when she looked at her hands, “What happened to your hands?” Ellie looked worried at her niece.

“It’s not a big deal, I’m fine.” Ellie ran her thumb over her bruised knuckles.

“Really I’m fine i was just got a little frustrated that’s all.” Raina said.

“Rani I told you countless times how that’s not healthy for your hands.” She scowled softly.

“I know I’m sorry, today wasn’t my day. ” Ellie looked at Tami and back at Raina.

“We talked about it when we get home.” She whispered and Raina nodded.

“I’ll walked you guys out.” Tami said walked up to them, “Hold on, I have to change first.” Tami and Ellie looked back at her.

“Alright we be outside.” Raina watched as they left, she went to a locker and got her gym bag and went to a empty stall.

Raina walked out into the hallways and looked around, she got her phone out of her bag to see missed messages from Landry and Ellie. She was looking through her messages when she bumped into Jason, “Hey, Raina.” He smiled rolling up to her.

“Hey, Jason. We missed you at practice. ” She said stopping in front of him.

“Yeah, i had to go in for a check up.” Raina nodded trying not glance at his wheelchair, “Lucky nothing is completely broken, but I would have to be benched for the rest of the season. ” Raina nodded feeling sorry for Jason, she and Jason never talked or hanged out with each other in their 17 years of growing up in Dillion. They had nothing in common, he’s a football star well she’s a outcast, they really didn’t have a reason to talked even after she joined the team, they never had a conversation until now.

“That’s sucks, I don’t know how we survive without.”

“I’m not hanging up my shoulder pads just yet, Coach Taylor offer me the position as assistant coach, just until I get feeling back in my legs.”

“Wow do the team know yet?” Jason looked sheepishly at her.

Raina giggled making Jason smile, “The boys are gonna have a field day with this one.” She said making Jason chuckled.

“Yeah. ”he said rubbing his neck sheepishly.

“When do you start, just so I can have my popcorn ready when all hell break loose. ” she smiled.

“He said I start Monday.”

“Yikes.”

“Yeah.” He said stressed.

“Hey don’t sweat it, they listen to you. Your their captain they follow you to the depth of hell if you ask them too. ” she assure him.

“Thanks...” he ran his hand through his hair nervously, “Hey, Raina. Are you-” before he can finished her phone buzzed alerting her.

“Hold that thought.” He nodded as she flipped her phone opened, she glared at her phone angrily before snapping it shut.

“Everything’s alright.” Jason asked worried.

“Yeah my aunt and uncle are just waiting outside.” She said.

“Oh I walked you out.” She thanked him as she adjust her bag as they both walked to the end of the hall, “what was you going to ask me?” She remembered him making Jason panic a little inside.

“Uhhh if your going to the party at Tim’s house later.” He said

“Yeah no I’m not really much a party girl...” she said opening the door for Jason.

“Wasn’t you the keg queen for four years straight?” He said grinning.

“No, i think your confusing me with someone else..” She chuckled.

“Why don’t you ever go to Tim’s parties, I see you at every party in Dillion except Tim’s or Layla’s?” Raina goes quite as she plays with one of her braids, “Don’t take this to heart, Jason. But I can tolerate a lot of thing but a drunk Tim and Layla is not one of them.” She said watching everyone get into their cars.

“Hmm.”

She looked at him seeing the wheels turned in his head, “Don’t worry, Street. Your not on my hit list...yet.” She grin making him smiled back at her.

Raina and Jason looked across the parking lot at Tim as he pressed down on the wheel repeatedly, Layla sat in the passenger seat with her hand over her face embarrassed, “JASON! Come on, man. We gonna be late.” He shouts trying to get his friend attention, she rolled her eyes before looking at Jason.

“Looks like you are wanted, see you around Jason. “ she says

“See ya” she gave him a wave before watching Jason roll off towards  his friend’s car.

“Raina.” she turned towards her uncle voices as he walked up to her, “What was taking you so long, me and your aunt are waiting.”

“I guess I lost track of time, my bad.” she mumbled walking away from him, “Rani..” she kept walking not wanting to start another argument.

“Rani, wait” he said standing in front of him making her stop, “ I’m sorry, for what I said this morning. It wasn’t suppose to come out like that-”

“Really? You couldn’t fool me.” Sam tried to contain his hurt as he continue to speak, “You may think I meant it but I didn’t.”

“Then why say it knowing how I feel about it.” she said angry

“Because your step closer to graduating, and you gonna be making a lot of choices on your own and I know how you always wanted to leave Dillon but the world out there isn’t like Dillon. It’s more cruel and I can’t be there to protect you, when things don’t go as plan and that’s scare the hell out of me.” Raina soften.

“I didn’t know you felt that way.”

“I’m pretty sure every father feels that way about their daughter.” Raina rubs her eyes as Sam called her his daughter, sometimes she forget how nice it is to be consider their family. 

“Hey go head to the truck, I need to make a phone car, alright.” Raina nodded.

She walked towards the truck seeing Ellie and Tami talking, Raina frowned confused stopping as she saw Ellie face scrunched up and moving her hands around frantically, she only do that when she’s pissed, “What’s wrong?” Raina looked at her uncle from the side.

“Aunt Ellie looks pissed.” Sam looked at his wife, “ Did you forget to lock the garage door again?” she said making Sam roll his eyes.

“No..” Raina looked towards her uncle as he look deep in thought making her chuckled, “You forgot didn’t you old man.” Sam smirked shaking his head.

“No I didn’t because Ellie was the last one to leave the house, so she not angry at me.” 

“Well she can’t be mad at me, than again I did up and leave with out telling her.” they both stood there quietly as they saw her face and ears turning red , “ Maybe if we move slowly backwards, she probably won’t notice us.” Raina suggested.

“Good idea.” they slowly turned around trying not to be seen my Ellie, “ SAMUEL  AINSLEY STEELE.” she shouted across the parking causing some people to look at them, “Full name, your dead.”

“Tell me about it.” They both walked up to the truck to greet, “Raina get into the truck.” Without a word she went to the passenger seat and sat in the middle, she watched as Ellie shouted at Sam. She felt her phone buzz in her pocket.

“hello?” she pick it up not looking at the id caller as she watched her uncle try to calm down Ellie , “hey, Rai.” she rolled her eyes.

“What you want, Riggins.” he chuckled through the phone, she can hear the music playing in the background, “I just wanted to know what you up too, I’m having a party why don’t you come by.”

“I’ll pass.” she replied looking at her slowly aunt calm down, “Why not? Everybody’s here even Landry is here and seems like he enjoying himself.” 

“Well, good for him but the answer is still no.”

“Come on, you been ignoring me all week...” he said frustrated, Raina took a quick glanced at her uncle and aunt still talking before focusing on her bruise hand, “Raina? Raina, are you listening to me?”

“Yeah, I heard you.” she mumbled, Tim scoffed over the phone, “Really? What did I say?”

“...”

“Like I thought.”

“Tim I’m not in the mood to give you a happy ending, okay? Why don’t you ask Tyra or maybe Lyla. I heard she gives a great handy.”

“What the hell is wrong with you.”

“Nothing, I’m just sayin how I see it.”

“What the hell is that suppose to mean” he growls 

“I’m just saying I wasn’t the one making out with Layla a few feet away from Jason’s hospital room.”

“How did you know about that..” he whisper 

“It’s a small town, Timothy. People talk.” She said looking up watching her aunt and uncle make their way towards the car, “I would say it’s always a pleasure talking to you, Riggins. But that be a lie.” she snapped her phone shut as Ellie and Sam got in the car.

“Sorry for the wait sweetie, me and your uncle had something we needed to clear up.” she said glaring at Sam, as he started the car, “ It’s alright.” Sam pulled out the school parking lot onto the road,

“Who was on the phone.”

“Just Landry.” She said, Sam didn’t question any further as he focus on getting them home. Raina leaned her head on Ellie’s shoulder falling asleep.

Sweet Baker Lady (Tommy Shelby x Black!reader)

(y/n) was rolling  dough in the back when she heard the bell to the door ring signaling a customer, “ I be right with you.” she shouted, she wiped her hands on her apron and went to the front of the shop to greet the customer only to be met with three men, Felling worried she plastered on a smile as she walked up to the counter, “Hello, Welcome to Queenie’s Bakery. How can I be of service for you today.” The man in the middle walked up closer to the counter.

“We like to speak to the owner of this establishment.” he fished out a cig from his pocket making (y/n) grow nervous.

“Yes, that would be me. You mind not lighting that in her...” (y/n) deadpanned as he stared at her, she gave him a look making him chuckle and put his cigarette away.

“My name Thomas Shelby, this is John and Arthur.” He pointed at an older and younger guy.

“ (y/n) ..” she shook his hand

(y/n) glanced at the men walking around the shop looking, “ Can you be careful with that it’s very rare.” she told the man with a small flower teacup in his hand, he ignore her as he continue to messed with the tea set. (y/n) turned her glared to the man in front of her.

“If your not here to purchases or pick up anything, I’m gonna have to ask you to leave.” She turned towards Thomas as he checked her making her blush a little.

“I’m here to offer you a proposition.”

“A proposition? What do you have that I want?” she asked crossing her arms.

“Your place of management have been broken into, vandalized, and almost burned to the ground countless of time in the last five months since you been here.” (y/n) looked looked peeved at the man.

“I still don’t see how that got to do with you?” Thomas peered at her.

“It doesn’t but since we heard you good at what you do, I’m welling to charge you half on protecting this place.” He planted his palms on the counter leaning in to the women making her moved back a bit, “How much are we talking?” She asked curious.

(y/n) eyes bugged when she heard the price, “Are you mad, I can’t afford that I can barely afford to pay rent to this place.” She watched as the man thought for a minute before speaking again.

“Okay, I lower the price. If...”

“If what?”

“If you allow me and my brothers...” the two man walked up, “to do business in your shop, nothing illegal. All we need is to store our cargo in your cellar and that’s all. ”

“How long?” She asked

“Until we can find ourselves a buyer, so do we have a deal?” (y/n) looked at him wearily and thought about it, she nodded slowly.

“Good, we bring the cargo here tomorrow morning.” He said

“What? So soon?” She asked baffled.

“Yes...” he turned around and tilted his cap towards her before headed towards the door with his brothers, “I’ll send my men soon.” He said leaving the shop with his brothers in toe, (y/n) huffed as she went back to work.

Four boys busted into the shop sweating and out of breathe, (y/n) looked up from cleaning one of the tables at the familiar young man.

“Billy?”

“ Hi, Miss (y/n).” the boy said out of breathe, “Billy, who are your friends.” She looked at the other red face boys breathing hard.

“Oh. this Adam...” he pointed at the ginger  who tipped his hat at the women.” Hello, ma’am.” (y/n) smiled shaking his hand, “...the quiet one right here is Samuel, but we call him Sammy,” the boy gave her a small wave making her smile, “Hello, dear.” 

“And this is Wallace.” The lanky boy in front of her smiled at her which she returned, “Hello, it nice to meet you all..” she said towards the boys and turn back to Billy, “ I’m go out on a limb and say Thomas Shelby sent you..” He nodded making her shake her head in disbelief.

“Alright, any of you know how to bake?”

“Mr. Shelby didn’t say anything about baking” Adam said looking at Billy who looked as confused as him, “I know, but I’m a man done and I need help fixing up some cupcakes for preschoolers soon.” The boys looked at each other before Billy spoke up.

“Three boxes of strawberry filled muffins with twelve fudge cookies for our services...” the boys smiled behind him as he told her his terms,  (y/n) narrowed her eyes at him, “ One box of strawberry filled muffins and eight carrot cake cookies because I don’t need you to go on a sugar rush and shut down well protecting my shop.” Billy looked at his boys and back  (y/n).

“ Two boxes of your strawberry filled muffins and we try your new “healthy” cookies to give our criticisms.”  (y/n) thought about it  for a moment before speaking, “ Half of box of my muffins and I throw in some cupcakes for your criticism for you my new invention.” Billy smiled shook hands with  (y/n) and they got to work.

(y/n) with the four boys waited by her side as she locked up, she turned to the group  of young men, “Are you sure you don’t want one of us to drive you home, Miss (y/n) .” She shook her head giving them a smile.

“No, it’s okay, but thanks. Here..” she reached in her purse to giving Billy the key to the shop, “And I can’t stretch this enough. Do. Not. Lose. These. Okay?” He nodded, she exhale before bidding them all goodbye before walking down the street. 

She walked passed the Garrison as she made her way home, she heard laughing and talking coming from the tavern. She wrapped her coat around her body as the wind blew, she heard footsteps behind her making her grip her pistol. She turned around quickly pointing the gun at the person's abdomen as they grab her, “You have five second to remove your hand..” she hissed looking at them, she felt them removing their hand from her arm, she backed up as they kept their hands up. She stepped back, “And here I thought you were a sweet baker, I guess there is more than meets the eye..” she lowered her gun as she recognized their voice.

“Mr. Shelby?” He stepped into the light, (y/n) put away her gun as Thomas lower his hands, “ Why didn’t you  say anything earlier, I could of shot you.” he shrugged as he got out a cigarette, “I wanted to see what you have done.” she rolled her eyes 

“ I would have shot you dead.” she sassed turning on her heel and started walking home again, he walked up beside. She ignore his present as they walked together, “So are you gonna ask me or what?” she spoke up as they made it to her building, “Ask what?” 

“Me on a date?” she turned to him as they stood on the steps, “I don’t know what you mean-” she cut him off.

“I think you do with the longing stares and following me all the way home and such.”

“ I’m not following you.” she grins.

“Really, so you telling me we didn’t walk pass your house three blocks down ten minutes ago?” She raised her eyebrow at him, he stared at her.

“Who’s following who now?” She rolled her eyes.

“Everybody knows where the infamous peaky blinder leader lives, it’s no secret. ” she turned to her door opening it and stepping in, “If your not gonna ask me, than I bid you a goodnight Mr. Shelby.” His foot stopped the door from closing.

“If I were to ask you on a date, would you say yes? Would you put yourself in danger like that for a man like me. “ she stared into his ocean eyes and muttered.

“Yes.”

I Got You

warning attempted rape

Faith with her siblings talked amongst themselves as they waited for their father to show, “What you think he called us in here for?” Faith asked her brother, Jordan.

“No idea, but I heard he been in a mood lately. ” He said inhaling the cigarette, Reina waved the smoke away from her as she sat in the leather seat between Jordan and William, “I thought the whole point of you working with daddy was to watch over him, all this time you been around him. You have no idea what going on?” She asked.

“Yeah, well it’s hard to make sure his okay if he always sending me off to do something else. And when I do try to follow him I always end up losing him, that man really knows how to throw people of his trail....” Reina rolled his eyes at her brother excuses.

“Maybe it’s good news this time?...” Will said fixing his glasses, Reina gave her brother annoyed look, “There’s never good news, when your a Shelby.”

“I wouldn’t say that....” Jordan put out the cigarette as him and his siblings stood up as their father stood by the door with a lady by his side, Tommy walked to his seat behind the desk with Grace by next to him. He waved his children to seat as he linked his hands together in front of him, he watch as they slowly took their seat.

Faith elbowed Reina as she was giving Grace the third degree, “How have you been, daddy? It feels like we haven’t seen you in days. ” Tommy smiled.

“It been a busy few months. But I’m fine, sweetheart.” Before faith could ask her father something else, Reina cut her off, “Daddy, who is this?” She stared the women up and down with distaste.

“This is Grace. Grace these are my children, my oldest Jordan and Faith...” Jordan tipped his cap towards Grace with a smile, as Faith smiled.

“Hello...” Grace shook both of their hands, Tommy looked towards Reina and Will, “These are my youngest Will...” Grace watches as Will stood up on crutches, making her stare at his legs. Will shuffle in his spot as he felt her staring at his bad leg making Grace look up apologetic.

“I-I’m sorry-.” Will shook his head as he shook Grace’s hand as he balance on his crutches, “Don’t be people always stare at it, I’m use to it...” He chuckled fixing his glasses, Grace smiled apologetic again as she turned to the girl, “...And Reina, she baby of the family.” Reina brows snapped together the way her father called her “the baby of the family”.

“Now that we all meet and got acquainted, I have great news. ” Thomas laced fingers through Grace’s making her lean in to him, “Me and Grace are getting married. She gonna be your step-mom.” He looked at her fondly as she does the same, Faith and her brothers looked shocked at the couple well Reina looked disgusted.

“I’m sorry, what?” Reina said, making her father and his fiancé turn toward her, “ I thought I heard you say you gonna a marry her.” Faith looked nervously between her father and sister.

“I did, me and Grace are getting married.” Faith spoke up before her sister could say anything stupid, “Don’t you think you moving too fast, dad. I mean we barely know her.” Jordan nodded in agreement, Thomas sighed.

“You all are still young, it’s complicated..” Will glanced towards his sister as she  glared daggers both at their father and Grace, “...But It would mean the world to us to have you all be part of the wedding.” Grace quickly says, Reina tried not to roll her eyes at Grace trying to play perfect wife.

“ Is this really what you want, daddy?” Faith said, Thomas asked himself the same question since his wife died, “Yes..” Faith knows her father like the back of her hand and even through his answer wasn’t convicting, she care too much about her father ‘s happiness to call him out on it, “ If you’re happy, we’re happy. Right?” She look at Reina with a hard stare, making her roll her eyes, “Right..” Faith gave her that look that only mothers can conjure up.

“Happy wife, happy life.” she said sarcastically, Faith rolled her eyes.

“Close enough..” She smiled towards Grace, “Welcome to the family, Grace.” Grace happily pulled Faith into a hug catching her off guard, Faith looked over Grace’s shoulder to her dad smiling at them.

A knock came from the other side of the door making them break apart, “Come in..” one of the maids walked in telling them the food was almost finished and the rest of Shelby’s have arrive, he nodded telling her they be out, making her leave. He held out his arm to Grace as they made their way out the door with his childern following behind. 

William lean against the door frame of his father office making his family stop and look worried at him, “You go without me, I’ll catch up with you all soon, I just need to rest for a bit..” 

“Is your leg bothering you again?” Thomas asked walking towards his son, Will  nodded with pain written all over his face making his father rub his hair, “Why don’t you stay in my office for a bit and we call you when the food ready.” Will nodded.

“I’ll stay with him..” Reina offered moving towards her brother, “Are you sure, I can watch over him...” Reina waved her sister in dismissal.

“Yeah, its fine. Consider it a sorry for earlier.” she said to her sister, making Faith look at her suspicious, “...and I kind of don’t want to be anywhere near Aunt Pol, when she finds out dad’s getting married.” Faith grimaced at the idea of her great aunt might cause a scene at the news, Thomas kissed the top of Will’s head before moving to kiss Reina temple as he walked back to his soon to be wife as they walked down the corridor with Jordan and Faith in toe.

Reina helped Will inside their father office, closing the door behind them. Will sat down in the leather seat as Reina went behind her father desk, “ Hurry up! I don’t want anyone coming back and finding us snooping through dad’s stuff.” Reina looked at the paper on his desk before moving to opening his draws.

“Who knew you were such a good liar, you could be the next Chaplin. “ Will ignored his sister was he looked through folders that his sister passed to him, he never liked lying to his dad expectably about his condition.

“Damn it...” Reina slammed the draw closed, making Will glare at her, “Try slamming it a little harder, I think everyone didn’t hear you.” He hissed.

“There’s nothing, here.” Reina said putting everything back, “Well, we tried..” Will shrugged.

“Maybe it’s at the betting shop.” William shook his head as he saw the wheels turning in his sister head, “Nia, no!”

“Why not, I’m telling you that women rubs me the wrong way. I don’t trust her.”

“You don’t trust anyone that isn’t part of this family.” Reina folded her arms in defeat.

“I’m telling you, Will. Something just ain’t right with her.” Will could tell this new of their father getting married isn’t taking a good troll on Reina.

“Nia, I love you. I really do but, you have to get over it. Dad is going to marry Grace and she gonna be our step mom, that is that. All we can do is be their for dad.” Reina played with the necklace her mother gave her, she hated when her brother was right. She sighed and nodded.

“Your right...”

“I know I am.” He smirk

She rolled her eyes as she helped William up as the bell ring signaling the food is ready, they closed the door behind them before walking to the dinning room. Everyone was there waiting on them, “Hope we didn’t keep you all waiting.” Will said as he sat next to Arthur, he laid his crutches against the table.

“Nope, you actually on time.” Thomas said as he watch his brother mess about with son, Reina took at seat between Faith and Finn.

“Did I miss anything.” She asked watching Faith take a sip of her wine, “Only Aunt Pol ripping Tommy a new one.” Fine said digging in, she gathered as much as Polly glared daggers at Grace.

“At least I’m not the only one who hates her.” She whispered turning to her food.

“So Tommy, when is the wedding?” Ads asked taking a sip of her wine, Thomas cleared his throat.

“In three days...” Polly slammed her glass down on the table making everyone freeze, “Why so soon?” She asked.

“You know with the business growing fast, why not do it sooner rather than later.” Polly scoffed before going back to her food, sending glares at Grace and Tommy every now and then.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

“There’s no way in hell, I’m wearing this..” I looked at myself in the mirror, trying to adjust the dress.

“What’s wrong with it?” Polly asked. I walked out of the bathroom and stood in front of my aunts and Faith. I watched my sister cover her mouth, “Everything...” I groan as I walk the crystals poke me.

“It poking the shit out of me, and I look like a goddamn chandelier.” A giggle escape from Ada and Faith making me glared at them.

“Well...” Polly walked around me, before glancing at me, “It’s not too bad, we may have to close the church windows. We don’t want you blinding the guest, now do we.” The women bust out laughing as I glared angrily at Polly.

We glanced towards the door as my father walked in with his suit, I couldn’t tell if he was surprise or happy. When he saw me in the dress his wife picked out for me.

“You look-umm shining.” He joke making Faith and Ada giggle behind me, I grab the nearby pillow on the couch and threw it across the room at them making them giggle even more, “Daddy, I can’t wear this it doesn’t fit and it keeps poking me.” He walked up to me and examined the dress. 

“The wedding starts in a few hours, maybe you can wear the other dress she brought you.” I looked towards Faith.

“I thought you said she only brought the one.” Faith shrugged.

“ I thought so too, I guess she had a back-up. Just in case...” I look back at my father.

“I take it...” my dad left calling for the maid to bring the dress, “It can’t surely be worse than this one, right?” The ladies in the room wrinkled their nose at the chances of the dress being even worse than the one I got on.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

I clenched my jaw as we rode in the car to the church, I pulled at my dress for tenth time since i walked out of the house. My head feel against the window as a familiar song came on making me close my eyes and remember a memory with my mother.

I remember walking into the kitchen to find her cutting up potatoes and carrots for supper, she was swaying in her blue dress as the music from the radio plays.

Goodness knows what the end will be

Oh I don't know where I'm at

It looks as if we two will never be one

Something must be done:

She swirl around the kitchen like a princess, singing along to the tune.

You say either and I say either,

You say neither and I say neither

Either, either neither, neither

Let's call the whole thing off

I adore her beauty from where I stood, her dark skin shining from the sun coming through the window. Her beautiful black curls bouncing as she dance, sometimes when you stand very still it’s feels like time stops.

You like potato and I like potahto

You like tomato and I like tomahto

I giggled as she use the wooden spoon as a microphone, she stopped and looked at me. She covered her face in embarrassment and laughed as she got caught, she waved me over making me run into her arms. She picks me up and swirl me around, I remember giggling as I held ion to her tightly. She sat me back on my feet as our favorite part came on making me sway to the music like her.

You like vanilla and I like vanella

You saspiralla, and I saspirella

Vanilla vanella chocolate strawberry

Let's call the whole thing off

We sang together as she held my hands in hers as she swirl me around and dip me, all in the while my father walks in on us. He watches us in amazement as we try to hit the note like Ella, as I continue dancing I didn’t realize my mother stopped and notice my father. Her smiled lured him into her hold, he danced slowly with her.

I smiled as I saw the love in their eyes, the unbreakable bond between my father and mother. I stood off to the side as they had their moment together, trying to spend as much time as they can before my father would be pulled away for work.

For now we know we need each other so,

Let's call the whole thing off.

The car door slammed closed jumping me from my dream, I looked out the window to see the church. I sighed before getting out of the car before the man could open it and shutting it, I walked up the steps of the church with my heels clicking with every step I took. The moment I walked in I felt all eyes were on me, men in uniforms with their wife’s stared at me, walking further in I saw Grace talking to one of the men in uniform.

I guess Grace’s side of the family, they looked at me shock and with distaste probably thinking I was the help that walked through the wrong door. Only if those fool’s knew.

Ignoring them I continued my walked to my seat with my family, Faith held Esme’s baby in her lap as Esme dealt with one of john’s youngest. Finn handed me s pile of paper asking me to pass it down, I looked at the other side of the room to Grace’s family as they look annoyed at us. All things considering we were the loudest in the church, I looked at my father as he looked agitated at us which only made me try not to smirk.

As the Organ starts playing we all got up with the help of Ada we got William up so he can see. We all watch as Grace walked down the aisle with her father, we sat down as the minister starts to talk after about what felt like hour my father kissed Grace making her his wife. I clapped as everyone around me got out of their seats and cheered happily, they walked down the aisle to the church doors. After congratulation were said for both side, we gathered around and took a picture.

Faith stood next to me as we got our picture taken with my dad and Grace, after pictures were taken. Everyone got in their cars and went to the ceremony, dad wanted me and William to ride with him and Grace since we were the youngest. The whole car ride there was spent with silence, Grace would try start a conversation with me but I would reply with short answer making it quiet again.

The ceremony like the wedding was the bore, the only entertainment was hearing Arthur and John tell stories of dad in his baby years or teen years. Luckily the ceremony ended early so the real fun can start, this time dad wanted to ride with William and Jordan as he wanted to talk them. So i was riding with Faith.

“How was the car ride with dad and Grace?”

“Awkward. She kept trying to start a conversation with me, but I wasn’t in a mood. ”Faith side eye me as she sighed.

“Nia, I know you don’t like her. You made that clearly on several occasions but she’s-.”

“It’s not that...” I played with my necklace, “It’s not that I don’t like her, it’s the fact that it feels like he trying to replace mom with her.” I looked down at my hands.

“I had another dream about her, y’know. This time she was dancing around the kitchen with that blue dress she loved so much, and dad walked in on us. As a child I never knew how much two people can love each other until I watched them danced slowly in kitchen. ” I looked up towards Faith hearing her sniffle she had tears falling down her cheek.

Her smile didn’t reach her as she looked at me, “Mind handing me a tissue.” She chuckled as I pulled out a couple from her purse, giving it to her. She thanked me as she dab tissue under her eyes so she didn’t mess up her make up.

“I remember that you know, you ran into my room like the house was on fire. You pulling me from my room with my camera and having me take a picture, but you wouldn’t believe how many similar pictures of them is in my room until this day. ” i was surprised to hear that she still have pictures of mom and dad, I thought e she hide them away in a dusty room like dad.

“You don’t have to worry about forgetting her, whenever you need a reminder of her love just come to me and I tell you stories you haven’t heard it. If you need a reminder of her beauty like I said my door is always open and I show thousand among thousands from pictures of her with us.” I moved closer to Faith laying my head on her shoulder, she rest her head on mines as she drove to the party.

We finally pulled up to the reception, the moment we walked in Faith was swish away by Grace to meet some of the women in her family. Leaving me to roam the place until one of my father’s man told me he wanted to talk to me and  lead me to the kitchen, couple of men stood around talking as they waited.

 I leaned against the shelf away from the entrance, I watch Isaiah walk towards me .“I don’t think I ever seen you in a dress before Nia, it looks good.” Isaiah said getting all in my personal space, “But it looks so much better on the floor of my room.” He whispered close to my ear and smiled, I move my hand up his chest before giving lopsided grin and muttering.

 “Or mines...” I winked before moving away from him as my family came into the area, I stood next to Michael. My dad started going on a rant about how everyone have to be on their best behavior since Grace’s family are here.

“ I can’t stretch this enough. No fighting...” I rolled my eyes as he told everyone of his men and brothers what they can’t do or say. He turned to me and pointed, “And no back talk, their gonna be part of this family. So you treat them with the same respect you give me and your uncles, you hear me?”

 “Got it...” he walked close to me making Michael move out the away, “I mean it, Reina. I want you and your attitude in check, today is important to Grace....and me.” 

“I said I got it.” He stared down at me as if I was a child, he huffed in frustration before finally telling everyone not fuck this up for him. I glared at my dad as he pushed waiter on the floor leaving the man to pick up the broken the glass. After the last man got out of the kitchen, I helped the server up and apologized for my father action trying to help him with the mess. “It’s alright, you should go enjoy the party.” I apologized once again before leaving out of the kitchen.

I walked into the main room towards the mini bar, I tapped on the counter catching the bartender attention, “ Whiskey,” He nodded putting a glass in front of me and pouring my drink, I thanked him and down it without a thought. I gave him a tenner for the whole bottle which gladly oblige, not too long I was joined by Jordon, Finn, Isaiah, and Michael.

We spent hour and half taking shots and laughing at the bar at one point I’m pretty sure I was dare to drink from the bottle but I can’t remember, soon we ended up almost drinking the whole bottle. We kind of had to cut things short since Finn couldn't hold his liquor for shit, me and Jordan watched in disgrace as Finn was carried away by Isa and Michael to the car.

“And he call himself a Shelby.” We chuckled as we turned forward again taking another shot, before can take a second William limped behind us, “Have any of you seen, Faith.” 

‘“Not since she was dragged away by Grace.”

“Why? You ready to go?” Jordan asked taking a shot before getting off the stool, we looked at each as we saw the worried all over William’s face as he looks around the room for Faith. 

“She was suppose to take me home, but she had to go fetch her purse. That was thirty minutes ago.” I got off the stool and stood next to Jordan, “She’s probably just got lost, come on we look for her.”

“Shouldn’t we tell dad first just in case.” I looked around the room to find my dad talking with some of Grace’s family with her by his side, “No, we don’t want to worry him on his special day.” I walked to the stairs with William and Jordan in toe as we looked around, we looked through every room upstairs and didn’t find her.

“There’s like a hundred rooms in here, there’s no way we be able to find with only three of us.” Before we can go and tell our dad we heard a crush from down the hallway, we ran and down the hall and took a right before we heard sounds coming from a room.

“Get off of me!” Without thinking Jordan kicked the door down and making the man and Faith look towards the doorway giving her a chance to knee the bastard in his nuts. She pushed him off her making him fall to the ground, Faith got off the bed and went towards into my arms. 

Jordan ended up tackling the man to the ground making him drop his gun, we watched as they brawl around over the floor. I looked in fear as the man got on top of Jordan beating repeated in the face, scared I couldn’t stop William in time as he swung his crutch at the man knocking him off Jordan. William kept repeatedly hitting the man, until he got kicked in the stomach knocking the air out of him. Faith held us behind her was the man started walking told us.

“Don’t you fucking touch them..” He grits out clenching onto the man pants leg making the man kick Jordan in the face causing him to spit out blood, the man grabbed Jordan by the collar and started hitting him again. 

I quickly grabbed the looked at the gun under the bed, I clocked the gun and pulled the trigger without a second thought. I dropped the gun in shocked. Jordan holster the gun and kicked the body to see if he was still alive, he moved to the bed and took the putting sheet over the dead body. 

“We have to wrapped the body up.” he said before grabbing a another white sheet from a chair.

“We need to get dad.” William said as Faith help him up, “ He know what to do.” 

“With uniforms downstairs, no way. They arrest us before we can even get a word out.”

“You don’t know that..” Jordan threw down the sheet and looked towards us, “ You right I don’t but what I do know is there are four black kids and a dead white man on the floor. You do the math.” He went back to pushing the person onto the sheet.

“Not if we leave and pretend that none of this ever happened.” Jordan rolled his eyes.

“Yeah how are we suppose to do that when my face is busted up, Reina has blood all over her clothes. And Faith arm is bleeding.” I looked at Faith and now noticed her arm, she looked down.

“Oh shit...” he said just before he helps her sit on the bed, William took his tie off and wrapped it around faith to stop the bleeding, “I didn’t even feel it.” He looked at her.

“You were in shock.” He was he stopped the bleeding, by the looks of the wound it wasn’t deep cut. She got luckily. Somewhat.

“We need to be quick before they come, there’s no doubt someone heard that gunshot. “ he finished wrapping up the body, “Nia...” I look at him.

“I need your help with carrying him down.” I nodded, he turned to Faith and William, “Faye I need you bring the car around the back near the alley, alright.” She nodded as he handed her the keys, “Wait...” Jordan stopped her at the door putting his jacket around her making sure not to touch her arm and wiped the stained tears away.

“Be careful.” She gave him a weak smiled as he kissed her cheek, Jordan turned looked at Will.

“I need you to be our look out make sure the uniforms or any of our people, don’t suspect us.” Will nodded as he grabbed his crutch and limped towards the door looking down both hall ways, Jordan have me nodded and we left the heavy bastard. We walked out to the hall and we went for the stairs, luckily we didn’t run into anyone and got out of there unnoticed.

“Wait, hold on.” Jordan and Will stopped as I dropped the body, I took off my heels and gave them to Will. We walked out to the alley towards the car, we threw him in the back of trunk Jordan went to the driver seat. We hoped in the back seat and pulled off, I looked Faith as her head leaned against the window.

“Where are going to dump the body?” Will asked.

“I know a place.” I sat back as I replay what happened in the room, my heart beats fast as I remember the gun going off. I couldn’t help the tears fall as the image of his blood splatter all over the room, I can’t even imagine how Faith feels right now. I dig my nails into my palms to stop of myself from imagining what would have happened if we didn’t get there on time.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

The car came to the stopped as Reina looked out the window finding their were at the canal. They all got out of the car, she looked around at the stables and mill. Her and Jordan started to put rocks into the sheets and pockets of the man, after Jordan keep it was enough her and others pushed him into the waters.

They stood there as the sun was slowly raising, Reina looked at Faith as she started to sob before her legs can give out Jordan caught her slowly being her to the ground. The moments from before started took a troll on her, she cried in her brother chest as the horrid memories flooded back.

“I got you, it’s okay I got you. His gone, okay. His gone.” He repeated, she rocked her as she held on tightly to him. Reina and Will join them on the ground as they wrapped their arms around each other.

“It’s alright we got you.” Reina whispered.
