Sleeping Beauty - Finn Shelby

ONE

'I wish you'd stop snorting that shit up your nose Finn' Aurora leaned against his doorframe with raised eyebrows.

'I wish you'd leave me the fuck alone sometimes Rory but I guess we can't all get what we want' Finn turned around to face the brunette girl.

'You could at least of waited until we left for the party' Aurora huffed before turning and heading downstairs.

When she reached downstairs there sat Polly, Arthur and Tommy around the kitchen table.

'Rory your looking nice, where you off too?' Arthur smiled putting his cigarette out on the edge of the table.

'A party Arthur' Aurora grinned before moving the opposite way around the table to where he was sat.

'Whose party would that be?' Polly raised her eyebrows.

'Just some boy from school Aunt Pol' Aurora smiled at the older lady.

'And does this boy have a name?' Tommy finally spoke up just before he let the smoke he had just inhaled back out through his mouth.

'Yes, yes he has a name and no your not having it' Aurora picked her shoes up and sat on the spare chair getting ready to lace them up.

'And why would that be?' Tommy looked at her with a questioning look.

'Because you'll send the peaky boys with me' Aurora rolled her eyes.

'Of course he bloody will, it's not safe out there' Arthur butted in.

'I can protect myself Arthur and besides it's bad enough Finn and Isiah are going' Aurora rolled her eyes again.

'Keep rolling them eyes and they will get stuck there girl' Polly stood up and grabbed the girls coat of the rack and held it open for her to put on.

'Thanks Pol, anyways I must be off I'm already late enough. Love you guys!' Aurora quickly sped out of the house and down the road.

When Finn had finally finished upstairs he came down the stairs to three sets of eyes watching him.

'What the fuck you all looking at?' He snarled.

'You watch Rory tonight understood? I mean it Finn' Polly walked to in front of the door.

'Yeah yeah, Rory can look after herself' He mumbled shrugging his coat on.

'Yeah she may think she can but I still want you too watch her' Pol looked at him sternly.

'I'll watch her alright, can I go now?' Finn huffed.

'Yeah go' Polly let him past and off he went out the door and down the street where Aurora had been not ten minutes before heading towards the house where the party was being thrown.

Lighting up a cigarette Fin carried on walking at a distance away from Aurora as he had caught up to her after the leaving Watery Lane. Fin watched as she walked oblivious to what was going on around further down the road.

'Ey Fin' A voice was heard from further behind the two.

Fin turned to look and saw Isaiah running towards him grinning.

'Why aren't you there yet then?' Isiah threw his arm round his mates shoulder.

'Because I'm watching-' Fin turned to point at Aurora only to see she had disappeared from his sight. Sighing he shrugged Isiahs arm off and hinted for him to walk faster so they could find her.

The party was in full swing when Aurora walked through the front door, parties like these was a common thing but to be invited to one was not as common.
