You were at Grace and Tommy's wedding; alongside your fiancé John. John and you had been engaged for a long time, but you both were waiting until Tommy's wedding and when some of the businesses had died down. It killed you inside, but you knew that a wedding would not make any change to the love that the two of you shared already.
"You look beautiful Y/N" Polly smiled as she kissed your cheek; looking at you as you had an hand on Johns arm.
"Thanks Pol" You grin, looking at her up and down. "You look so beautiful too!"
"John, you are a lucky man" She winks to her nephew; making you blush as you look up to him - his handsome smile plastered on his face as he looked down to you.
"I am indeed" He winks and you look to Polly; rolling your eyes playfully.
"Alright you softy, let's go in and wait for the bride" You smile walking inside; seeing one side full of the noisiest people; knowing they were your people. Then the other side, full of the British Cavalry, in their uniform.
"They fucking said they would not wear their uniform" John growled as he walked in.
"Keep walking John, come on" You huffed, putting your hands on his back as you walk along the altar seats.
You sat down beside John, who began to talk with Finn who was beside him, where as you sat beside Arthur's new girlfriend, Linda. The both of you got along well but the others did not like her that much, because she was so pure and had changed Arthur a lot. However, you did not think she liked you very much, but that did not stop you from trying to be friendly with her.
"Hey Linda" You smile and she turns to look at you; slightly smiling before turning back around to watch Arthur with Tommy. "Okay then"
You stayed still and did not know what to do with yourself; so you just decided to stay still and wait until Grace came. John was too busy talking and you looked to the army men on the other side.
As your eyes trailed along the side, your eyes connected with someone who was looking at you. When you look properly, you see a young man smiling at you. Frowning, you quickly look away but you still feel him watching you. Leaning your head on Johns shoulder, you slightly glared to the man who was still watching you.
"You okay?" John asked as he put his arm around the back of you.
"Yes" You smile to him; his lips pressing yours briefly before pulling away again.
"How's the conversation with lovely Linda?" John teases and you roll your eyes; laughing back to him.
"Silence is golden John" you wink and he laughs; checking his watch, seeing that Grace is late. Just as he looks up, the music starts to play and the doors open.
"Here comes the fucking cavalry" John mutters; earning snickers from the crowd behind him. Meanwhile, you elbow him as you stand up and telling him to be quiet.
Grace comes down and looks beautiful. They shared their vows and shortly after, the ceremony came to an end and it was time for them to take their first kiss as man and wife.
"Yes!" John shouts, followed by the rest of the clan; which makes you laugh as Ada gives you a hug from behind the wooden seats.
Linda however, looked unimpressed and just stood their clapping away at the happy couple; who had began to walk back down the aisle. Everyone took photos outside and it was now time to go back to Tommy's house to have some food and games!
The walk to Tommy's new house was literally seconds away from the church and you had walked with Ada inside. The music was playing, while you waited for dinner - watching everyone dance around. Tommy and Grace were nowhere to be seen. Both of you chatted away and you didn't seem to notice the guard who was walking over to you.
"Excuse me" He calls out to you. "Could I have this dance?"
"Of course" Ada smiled and went to put her hand in his; but he quickly pulled it away.
"Oh, sorry mam." He shakes his head and looks to you. "I meant with her"
"Oh, well -" Ada stutters, feeling rather embarrassed at the situation.
"Dinner is served." You hear someone call out and you looked to the man, smiled and walked away with Ada - interlinked.
"That was so fucking awkward" She laughed and you burst into fits with her.
"God, don't tell John" You laugh, yet mean every word. "He already hates them enough, knowing that would be the cherry on a very messy cake."
You sat down and John began making a lot of noise; trying to be the loudest at the table. Rolling your eyes at the loud man, you turned your head and felt someone staring at you. It was him. Feeling uneasy, your hands dropped the glass on the table; shaking your head away to look at the mess you made.
"Shit" You muttered and John saw, helping you clean it up. As he wiped it away, he saw your shaking hands and began to be completely concerned.
"What's happened?" He questions. "What's wrong?"
"That man over there keeps staring at me" You muttered; still feeling uneasy. "He asked me to dance earlier and he creeps me out John. I have an off feeling about him."
John begins to speak, but was interrupted by Tommy coming to him and bending down.
"Someone is here, who wasn't invited" He whispered and Johns eyes went wild; getting more and more angrier by the second.
Shit. You thought in your head.
"Tommy, I know you said very specifically no fucking fighting." John growls as he knuckles go white. "But, I am going to fucking go crazy if you don't get me out of here."
You say nothing, as it is best to not in these situations; especially when John was angry or upset. He looked at you and pressed his lips on yours; making you feel reassured as Tommy dragged him away, bringing Arthur with him too. Turning to Ada and Polly, you shook your head and took a long sigh.
Later on that night, most of the men had disappeared and you had not seen John or the boys in ages. Talking to Ada and Polly, you start to get quite concerned; knowing something did not feel so right. Sipping on your glass of champagne with Polly and Ada, the three of you walk around the house; looking around each nook and cranny.
"It's a nice little house" You smiled as you ran your fingers along the wooden windowsill.
"Too posh, you know there a people starving and fucking cold? While people like Grace and Tommy -" She began but Polly cut her off.
"Fuck me, Ada Shut the fuck up with the same communist shite." Polly rolls her eyes and smokes her cigarette. The three of you walk around the corner; talking still but the sound of grunts and cheers come from outside.
"What's going on?" You ask as you look outside, seeing two men fighting.
"Fucking animals" Ada growled and you nodded your head.
"Where is Tommy and the lads to stop it?" Polly frowns as she watches; then seeing John as one of the men fighting.
"Fucking John" You snap and then sees the man who had been eying you up all night. "Fuck!"
You ran outside and was shortly followed by Ada and Polly. Running towards them, you were pulled back by Tommy who was just standing there and watching them.
"Tommy get off me!" You snap and Polly glares at him.
"No, he needs to let it out and besides, he's an imposter at the wedding" He snaps back and your body tenses up.
"Stop him now." You demand, gulping but standing your ground.
"Y/N..." He begins but you shake your head; interrupting him as he groans and tugs on his hair.
"Tommy fucking end it!" You yell and you see the man on the floor; blood pouring from his face that you can no longer identify him.
"Fuck" You year Ada whisper.
"You animal" You push Tommy off you. Going over to John and shoving him back from the near dead man.
"Y/N-" John stutters and you shake your head, stopping him from talking.
"Shut the fuck up" You snap and the others are shocked that you have spoken to John in such way - you had never done that before. "We are leaving."
