Thomas Shelby Best Friend XXV
Tumblr media Tumblr media
TW: angst, self hatred, self-harm,
“Let’s just say I pulled another stunt of mine. Like last time.” Zoey mumbled, not making eye contact. She never liked speaking about her feelings. Yeah, he was her best friend. But there was that vulnerability that she didn’t want to show. It felt terrible. After all, she grew up in a household that punished her for being too emotional as a child.
Thomas shook his head. Last time. It was when Zoey had recently came back from the war. She looked lost. She would wear a shaky smile to comfort those around her. She kept up her usual routine. Fighting. Smoking. Drinking until she couldn’t feel the pain. The shame. The sadness. The fear. She tried to end it. Of course, he found her diary. He read it. He knew she wasn’t okay. None of them were.
“I didn’t mean to. I just…” Zoey said, looking down at her hands. “It’s okay. I understand.” Thomas said, in an attempt to comfort her. Everything has been too much. He knew from her red eyes and bitten nails. She was not herself.
“It’s not really though.” Zoey said through gritted teeth. “It hurts to sleep.” John looked at her with teary eyes. Thomas balled up his fists. What do I do? What can I do? I don’t like seeing her in pain. I want her to be happy.
“Here.” He put a paper in front of her. Zoey looked up. What’s that? “Write what you want to do. Anything. Dreams you have. Whatever you desire.” She sighed. Dreams.
“You can put down candy.” John said, hinting at her about her sweet tooth. Zoey scoffed. “Or you can list those that owe you.” John smirked, he liked that idea better.
“To live out of spite.” Zoey thought about it. She picked up the pen that Thomas had set on the desk. That does sound like fun. Pay my respects to the dead. And live like no one is watching.
She twirled the pen in her hands. Thomas smiled. Zoey was grinning. His Zoe was happy. Even if it was just for a second, he was content with her being present. She could lose herself in that head of hers. So, distracting her and keeping her company will be his priority. Always.
Zoey scribbled away. She listed the names in a way only she could understand.
“Do you know how’s my mum?” Zoey asked, setting the pen down. “She’s stable. No longer at the hospital.” Zoey frowned. She was glad her mom was doing a lot better.
“Now, you don’t have to finish the list now. We can store it in the safe. And you can add more to it when you want.” Zoey hummed. She looked at the list. “You can store it.” Thomas put the paper aside.
“You have unfinished business. We have earned new enemies. New alliances.” Thomas told Zoey, he was in business mode.
Zoey sat up. “I can’t wait to meet them.” John grinned. His troublemaker was back. Oh, the fun and terror that would come to those that get in their way.
“First order of business that I have for you is to get rid of any rats within our circle.” Zoey nodded, “Got it.”
“John.” He turned to face his brother. “Go with Arthur and he’ll let you know what you’ll be dealing with.” John nodded.
“You may leave.” Thomas dismissed John. John rolled his eyes. He hugged Zoey and exited the office. “See you around.” John whispered in her ear. Zoey waved him off.
“Am I allowed to go or…” Zoey was pulled out of her seat and embraced by Thomas. Zoey hugged him back. “I’ll say again in case you need a reminder. We’re your family. Whatever you need, I’m here.”
“And remember, we don’t run. People run from us.”

Ivar the Boneless Loyal Friend, Raven V
Tumblr media
“What attack are you planning to do?” Ivar asked her, shaking his head.
“Hmm…I was thinking of many different ways I could sneak into this neighboring King. He’s been causing some tension between the border of my hometown and his.” She said, twirling a knife.
Ivar stared at her. “And what are those ways. Do you feel like it is going to fail?” His blue eyes shinning.
She licked her lip. She locked eyes with him. “No, but you can never be too careful. I may have plan A, B, C, D..but who am I to know whether one of my men will backstab me.”
He nodded, gritting his teeth. “Now, I do trust them. But, I’ve been hearing some things.” She trailed off, but stopped talking when she saw his eyes.
“Ivar…” She put the knife beside his bed. She sat at the edge of the bed. She grasped his face with her hand. Ivar leaned into her hand. “Are you in pain?”
Ivar sighed. “I know.” She comforted him. “Would you like me to get someone?” He shook his head. “Do you want me to bring the remedy from last time?” He nodded.
She hugged him. “I’m here. I’ll come back quick.” She got up and ran out his room. Ivar balled up his fist. Stupid legs. Stupid pain. Ugh. I can’t be this weak. Not in front of her.
She swung her door open. She picked up the remedy from her dresser and ran back out.
“I’m back.” She announced her presence. “Alright, let’s get you set up.” He grumbled. She crossed her arms. “Ivar, come on.” She insisted, walking over to his side.
He removed his braces. She set the remedy down. She had it freshly made every morning. It was a mixture of herbs that helped alleviate his pain. It was grounded into a paste that could be massage on his body.
“Take off your shirt.” Ivar tilted his head, grinning. “Wipe that grin off. I’m gonna massage you.” She said, smiling at him.
She uncovered the container and set the cover aside.
She scooped some of the paste and massage his shoulders. He looked at his lap. He held back groans. He closed his eyes and felt the tension on his shoulder fade away.
She moved her way down his chest. Ivar felt good. He felt safe with her. This is what made her his Raven. She knew what he needed. Meanwhile, Esperanza only enraged him and didn’t even bother with comforting him.
“Lay down.” She fixed his pillow. “Don’t I have to take my pants off first?” “Ivar!” She scolded him. He laughed.
“It’s okay. You must’ve forgotten. I wonder why.” Ivar teased her. She scoffed, turning around. “Whatever.” She blushed, annoyed for a moment. “So, do I undress or..” “Yes! Do it before I do it myself!” She snapped. She held back a smile.
He threw his head back and laughed. He took off his pants and covered himself. He put his arms behind his head. “I’m ready.”
She turned around. “Why thank you, my king.” He stayed quiet. King. That’s what I want to be in her eyes. Powerful. Unstoppable. Merciful at her but merciless at everyone else.
She scooped another handful of the remedy and applied it on his legs. She gently rubbed it on his skin.
He stared at her. Had it been anyone else, he wouldn’t through his hatchet at them. But his Raven, no. His Raven knew all sides of him. Just like he knew her. She’s not the rest. She doesn’t look disgusted. She sees me.
“Alright, I’m done.” She walked over to closed the container. Ivar’s eyes followed her. “Take a nap. When you wake up, you’ll be rested and be able to conquer whatever you want.” She told him, grinning. “What were you going to tell me earlier? What did you hear?” Ivar asked, sitting up. Raven rolled her eyes as she remembered what someone had told her last week. “Apparently, my fathers mistress plans to convince my father to let her son take my position.” She gritted her teeth. “There’s rumors going around that she has two men that report anything I do and say at my men.” She balled up her fists. Her nails marking her skin. “She better pray that I don’t find any of her followers because if I do, then she will watch as I take them apart.” Ivar clicked his tongue. “She wants what she can’t have. She’ll have to go through me and that son of hers won’t step a foot here unless he wants to lose it.” Ivar said, his eyes filled with anger. “I’ll deal with it when it happens. For now, rest. I can’t cause any trouble if I don’t have my shadow with me.” Ivar smiled. She waved bye and left. He sat up and crossed his arms. As much as I care for her, Esperanza…she needs to be dealt with. She had done something unforgivable. Could Raven know, maybe she could tell me?

Ivar the Boneless Loyal Friend, Raven IV
Tumblr media
“I’ll ask again, and if you lie…” Ivar said, coldly staring down Esperanza.
Esperanza crossed her arms and bit her lip. Who told him? Was it Raven?
Esperanza swallowed harshly and replied, “Ivar, those are merely rumors trying to tear us apart.” She made her way over to Ivar. She planned to comfort him.
Ivar gritted his teeth. He nodded. She thinks I’m stupid. I’m not Sigurd. Everyone is looking down at me. No one..no one has that privilege to look down on me.
Ivar lifted a hand to stop her. Esperanza froze. “The halls are filled with laughter. I can practically here them as I sleep. How does this go around without anyone seeing you? Do you take me as a fool! If you want to live, then say the truth before I simply kill you!” Ivar snapped, his body shaking.
Esperanza blinked back tears. The help, it must’ve been them. Hmm…Ivar always forgives me. I just have to play the role right.
“I’m not lying. Ivar, I-“ Esperanza began. Ivar in a rage, throw a knife across the his room.
Esperanza screamed. She didn’t think Ivar would react this way. What am I doing wrong? He’s gonna kill me.
Ivar pointed at her and said, “If the next thing that comes out your mouth is far from the truth. If not, the next target is gonna be you!”
Esperanza gripped her dress. What do I do? What do I say?
Raven heard shouting. She tilted her head. Sounds like Ivar..typical. And Esperanza.
Raven clicked her tongue in distaste. They couldn’t have picked a better time. Ugh. What could they even be arguing about…
Her eyes went wide. Shit. He found out.
Without much thought she went towards his room. How do I coax him? Hmm…
Ivar waited for Esperanza response. “See, you cannot even form a sentence. Trying to form a perfect lie, huh.” He said, looking down at her with a enraged look in his eyes.
Raven quickly walked inside Ivar’s room. “Ivar, can you help me with something?” Raven said, glancing at Ivar.
Ivar head snapped towards Raven. Help? She never wants my help.
“Help? For what?” Ivar said, sitting up and turning to look at Raven with curiosity.
“I need you to help me plan an attack.” Raven said after throwing a stare at her sister.
Esperanza nodded. “I’ll leave you guys to discuss.” She said, leaving in a hurry.
Ivar stared at Esperanza in distaste. Why can’t she be like Raven?

Ivar the Boneless Loyal Friend, Raven III
Tumblr media
“Ivar is looking for you.” Raven told her sister.
Her sister nodded as she pouted. Ugh, Ivar can be so annoying.
“Well, what are you waiting for? Go! Unless you have to go meet that fool.” Raven snapped at her.
Her sister stood up and angrily turned to look at her. “I’m the eldest. And you must respect me.”
Raven scoffed. She tilted her head as she gripped the chair in front of her. “The eldest and yet acts like this. Get out of my sight before I become the only child. Well, the only daughter.”
Her sister flinched back. She could see the madness that swam in Raven’s eyes.
“Fine. But only cause I want to. As for that fool, he sure knows how to..” Raven’s sister was saying but was interrupted.
“If you finish that sentence, I’ll make Ivar finds out. Don’t forget who I am or what I’m capable of. I’m Ivar’s best friend. He’s been more of my family than you even were. So step out…before I lose control.” Raven angrily said as she grinned at her sister.
Her sister swiftly left her room. Raven sighed. She was shaking. She was furious.
“There’s my woman.” Hvitserk said, closing the door behind him.
“What’s wrong? Who do I have to kill? Who upset my woman.” Hvitserk angrily growled as he pulled her into his arms.
Raven hugged him back. Perfect timing as always.
She breathed in and breathed out. Pull yourself together.
“I’m here. No one is gonna hurt you.” Hvitserk comforted Raven.
“Let’s go. This room is bothering me.” Hvitserk said, knowing very well that her sister must have upset her. He needed to get her away before she destroyed the room.
“I know something. But I can’t tell you. I want to but I can’t.” Raven grumbled angrily. She rubbed her eyes. Ugh, get out of my head.
“I think…too much.” Raven mumbled as she snuggled into him.
“Hmm…you do?” He playfully asked, knowing very well how his woman could get lost in her thoughts.
Raven laughed. She playfully shoved him.
He laughed. There’s my woman. There’s that smile I love.
“Alright. I’ll figure this out.” Raven declared. She smiled up at him.
He smiled at her and kissed her. Raven kissed him back and despite wanting to be with him pulled back.
He groaned as he licked his lips.
“As much as I want to. I have to go find Ivar.” Raven told him, biting her lip as she notice how he was lustily looking at her.
He nodded. “I’ll see you at night.”
He went to pull her into another kiss.
“Ah…save that for later.” Raven said, avoiding him. She knew he wouldn’t let her go after another kiss. And she wouldn’t let go either.
“Bye.” Raven said, giggling as she kissed him on the cheek and ran out the room.
“Ivar, are you ready?” Raven said, challenging him.
She held her knife. They were gonna practice throwing knives at a distance.
Ivar scoffed, rolling his eyes. “I was born ready. You, on the other hand, need my training.” He playfully said, tossing his knife at the target.
Raven laughed. She threw her knife without breaking eye contact with Ivar.
It landed on the handle of his knife.
“Well, seems like I don’t need your training, or do I?” Raven said, cocking her head to the side.
Ivar shrugged his shoulders and said, “Hmm…maybe not at knife throwing but I can teach you how to do some other things. Maybe this will help your relationship.”
Raven laughed and pointed at Ivar as she said, “Aww…my king I think you need to get your look eyesight checked. However, as curious as I am about the training you would give me…I have to reject your kind offer. As for my relationship…mmm…it leaves us breathless.”
Ivar smirked. She knows how much I love being called king.
“No need to blush, my king.” Raven playfully said.
Ivar shook his head, looking away when his cheeks turned red.
“Whatever. Did you see your sister?” Ivar asked, watching as Raven pulled the knife from the tree.
Raven bit lip in frustration. It’s better he finds out on his own.
“Uh, yeah. She said she’ll look for you later.” Raven said, pulling the knife out with a sigh.
Ivar nodded.
“Anyway, we should head back.”

Ivar the Boneless Loyal Friend, Raven 1
Tumblr media
Raven walked around the forest. She needed to get away from them before she acted on her instincts.
She has just saw her sister lying in bed with someone.
She sighed. What is wrong with her? Does she have any idea what Ivar will do?
She leaned against a tree. What do I do? Come on. You have led an army at war but this…this is just freaking great.
She gritted her teeth. She’s my sister. He’s my best friend. Why not just break up? Why cheat?
She has to confront her and make her break up. She’ll need a good excuse. Hmm…maybe she needs to go back home. Back to our motherland.
“Raven? What are you doing?” Ivar asked her as he dragged himself to sit on a tree stump.
Raven eyes snapped open. Just my luck. My gods.
She turned to look at Ivar. She thought about forcing a smile on her face. Nah, he could read her smiles.
She grinned. Ivar smiled at her. She got off her tree and headed towards Ivar.
“Just wanted silence.” Raven told Ivar. Ivar tilted his head, and rolled his blue eyes.
“What…expected me to have some important mission?”Raven playfully said, as she stood in front of him.
“No, but you usually go into the forest when you get lost in your thoughts. Or maybe you are trying to hide a body.” Ivar sarcastically said, as he gasped.
Raven laughed and said, “No, just thinking.”
Ivar tilted his head as he tried to read her expression. He nodded his head.
“Thinking…about me.” Ivar playfully said, as he put a hand on her shoulder.
“Y-No.” Raven firmly said, as she sat down next to him.
“Thinking about my family. Missing them yet at the same time hating the thought of visiting them.” Raven said, lying through her teeth. Although she did not want to visit her family, the real matter was her unfaithful sister.
Ivar frowned. “Well, you don’t have to go. Stay here by my side. Send your second in command, Sebastian.”
Raven sighed in her head. “I’ll see what I do.”
Ivar looked at her. Something or someone must have upset her. But who?
Raven sat up from the ground. She dusted off her pants. Yup, she hated dresses. She could fight in a dress given the chance but she just felt uncomfortable in them.
“Let’s go.” Raven told Ivar. Ivar sighed, he felt frustrated that he couldn’t help her.
“Come on.” He said as he got off the tree stump.
“Someone could have seen us.” Someone giggled.
Ivar head snapped in her direction. Raven froze.
“Did you hear something?” Ivar asked. That voice sounded familiar.
Raven looked behind him. There stood Esperanza with the guy she saw her kissing.
“There’s nothing. Must be an animal.” Raven said as she glanced around.
Ivar leaned on his hands. He frowned. He could of sworn that he heard his girlfriend.
“I guess. Let’s go. I don’t want you to be alone..” Ivar ordered Raven.
Raven’s grey eyes went wide in fury. You are so lucky that you’re my best friend. Any one else that would’ve addressed me in that manner would have been killed.
She sneakily glanced at the spot that she saw her sister. Hmmm…I’ll deal with her later. Ivar won’t let leave me alone right now. I have to go to defend my territory once again. He hates when I leave him alone.
“Alright, lead the way.” Raven said, as she gestured Ivar to move forward.
Ivar scoffed as he grinned at her. “This way, my queen.” He playfully said as he dragged himself.
Raven laugh as she followed him.

Ivar the Boneless Loyal Friend, Raven II
Tumblr media
“So what’s bothering you, my little Raven.” Ivar asked Raven as he looked at her. They were laying in his bed.
“Nothing.” Raven said, she stared at him. Ever since they were kids, their moms would keep them together. They bonded from the moment Raven shoved Sigurd to the ground when he mocked Ivar.
“Alright, are we playing this game now. You know how it ends.” Ivar said as he mischievously grinned. Last time Raven refused to talk with him, he pinned Raven and wouldn’t let her go. He knows that Raven hates being pinned down unless it’s Hvitserk.
Raven scoffed and in a panic said, “Come on, Ivar. I’ll just shove you off the bed.”
Ivar laughed as he gripped the bed sheets to pull himself up.
Raven observed him. Should I just say it?
“Alright..alright. I’ll tell you.” Raven said as she leaned close to Ivar. Ivar sat up to listen. Finally, she gave in.
“I-Well, I wanted to ask if you wanted to train with me and possibly go to sea some time.” Raven said, without thinking. Great, now I’m just lying…well..am I. Ugh. Esperanza, you better pray…I don’t find you.
Ivar grinned as he contemplated what she said.
“You were shy. How adorable? My little Raven wants to fight with me. Let’s do it, tomorrow before everyone is awake.” Ivar said, as he thought of what he could do to impress her.
“Shy…more like reserved. I don’t like people, well, I do but I get impatient.” Raven thought to herself.
“Yes, whatever you say Ivar. I’ll sneak by my guards.” Raven promised. Her guards were strict because she was important figure, her people looked up at her. She has trained all her life. She left the princess role to her sister and picked up a sword to battle.
“Now, I’m gonna go see Hvitserk.” Raven told as she got off his bed.
Ivar sighed as he nodded. “Of course. Be prepared to battle with me. Oh, and if you see your sister…tell her to see me.”
Raven tensed up and said, “I’ll send her over when I find her.”

Thomas Shelby Best Friend V
Tumblr media
Thomas and his aunt Pol where at the church. Thomas has just been told to get rid of the guns.
“Oh, and Thomas, look for Zoey. She needs you. I overheard Jade tell Zoey she needed to get fixed as she was some broken clock. Go to her first. Then handle the mess you have made.” Pol strictly told her nephew.
Thomas nodded as he rubbed a hand against his face. Jade never learns, does she?
He stood up and put on his cap. “I’ll take care it. I’ll go see my Zoe. Deal with Jade.” Thomas told his aunt Pol. As if he hadn’t already.
Pol grinned as she looked up at the alter of the church. No one but God will witness.
Thomas ran up the stairs. He headed towards Zoey’s bedroom. The bedroom that they shared when they were both chased down by their nightmares.
He opened the door. When he entered, he saw Zoey gripping her head.
He quickly moved towards her. He squatted down in front of her and carefully removed her hands from her head.
He pulled her into a hug. Words meant nothing. Someone in this state needed to know by action that they weren’t alone.
Thomas knew personally that words were useless. So be hugged her until she responded to his touch.
Zoey heard someone enter the room and simply ignored them. She sighed into her hands. Why does everyone seem to think I’m broken? Why can’t they understand me? Why can’t they read my mind?
Someone pulled her into a hug. Zoey sniffed. That cologne. She recognized it. It’s Tommy.
She slowly hugged him back. She open her mouth to speak but felt confused. Maybe Jade was right. Maybe she needs to be fixed. Maybe there was a cure for her madness. Maybe just maybe the nightmares could be erased once and for all.
Thomas held her until she put her arms on his shoulder to push him away. Zoey licked her lips and hesitantly asked Thomas, “Do think it’s time I let go of Jade?”
Thomas thought about her question. Of course, letting go of Jade would lift the burden of having to be the person that Jade wanted her to be. Jade wanted Zoey to be perfect. Jade expected Zoey to act normal. Normal, what does that even mean. Normal comes different for everyone.
“Jade is causing you pain. Anything that hurts you shouldn’t have room in your heart.” Thomas said, as they pulled away from their hug.
Zoey looked down as she considered what Thomas said. Jade wants this and that. Jade knew from the start how toxic I was. I warned her. She saw the changes in me but she stayed. She could’ve left but she stayed. Maybe she has hope in me, but maybe that hope is misplaced. She deserves someone that deserves her. And I happen to be someone who Jade shouldn’t be with.
“Uh- I guess, I need to make things clear. I have to let her go.” Zoey shakily said as she closed her eyes shut. Who knew a heart ache was worse than physical pain?
Thomas nodded, “It’s for the best.”
“For you and me.” Thomas thought to himself.
“I’m gonna solve…we’ll end this matter and I’ll focus on the other issue.” Zoey said as she open her eyes and looked at Thomas.
Thomas looked at her as he lit a cigarette and said, “Alright. Oh, and one more thing, we have a family meeting. John has something to say. Be there.”
Zoey nodded and said, “Yeah, I’ll be there.”
Thomas took a puff from the cigarette as he deeply stared at her and said, “And…”
She knew what he wanted to hear, “And I promise to come to you whenever I feel lost. I would say don’t worry but how could I say that to my best friend.”
“That’s right. I am always available for you. No matter the time or place. My door is always open for you.” Thomas swore to his Zoey.
Zoey smiled. He always knew what to say and do. “Of course, you know, I’m always here for you. No matter what. I’ll stand by your side.”
Thomas smiled as he smoked. Yeah, of course she was. Jade has the tendency to remind him.
He remembers Jade storming into his office demanding that he leaves Zoey alone. How could he leave Zoey alone when they need each other?
The best thing that could happen to them was the brilliant plan that was executed successfully which was taking Jade out of the equation. So after all, it was good idea, planting the idea into Jade little head that Zoey needed help and who was better than her to offer it. Who would even believe Jade, not Zoey? Jade had it coming, trying to pull us apart. Maybe this will teach Jade not to mess with the me.

Thomas Shelby Best Friend IV
Tumblr media
Zoey sighed. Pol is gonna be livid.
She entered Garrison. There serving drinks was Grace. She sat down and looked around her.
“I wonder if Jade is back.” Zoey thought to herself.
“Would ya like the same drink?” Grace to Zoey. She left a bottle to the men and quickly moved to Zoey.
“Yeah.” Zoey said, snapping out of her thoughts. She looked at Grace.
“So a job brought you here.” Zoey said, taking the drink from Grace. Grace hurriedly nodded.
“Hmm…I guess desperate times, call for desperate measures.” Zoey mumbled.
Grace frowned. Zoey is too clever. I have to be extra careful. Arthur is easy to get information, but Zoey might be a challenge.
“Do you know the inspector?” Zoey randomly asked as she drank. Grace froze. Did she know something?
“Inspector? No, I haven’t heard.” Grace said, wiping down the counters to avoid eye contact.
Zoey glanced at Grace. “Maybe she doesn’t know. Ugh, maybe my mind is playing tricks on me.” Zoey thought as she drank the rest of her drink.
“Why, is this inspector trouble?” Grace hesitantly asked Zoey.
Zoey leaned on the counter. She clicked her tongue. “Hmm…I don’t know. You tell me?” Zoey playfully told Grace.
Grace nervously giggled. “I-I”
“Zoey!” Jade called out as she rushed in the Garrison. Jade smiled, she couldn’t wait to tell Zoey what she found for her.
Zoey sat up straight and turn to look at Jade. Zoey grinned. There’s my love. I’ll deal with Grace another time.
“Anything you need, love.” Zoey asked Jade, forgetting about Grace for a moment.
Grace glanced between them. She felt confused. Is this the Jade that the Inspector talked about?
“Uhh, can we speak somewhere else?” Jade said, looking at Zoey as she hinted at Grace being an obstacle.
“Of course. Let’s go.” Zoey said, getting off the stool and leading Jade out the Garrison.
“Mark it down for Rojo.” Zoey called out to Grace as she walked out with Jade.
Grace bit her lip as she thought, “This is a new side of Zoey. A kind one. Jade must be some best friend. Or more.”
“Well, what do you want to tell me.” Zoey asked Jade as they sat in Zoeys bed. They were in the bed that Pol had let Zoey stay in whenever she felt like she couldn’t stand her family. A place where she felt safe.
“So, I was in London. And I found something..well someone who can be help you.” Jade gushed out.
“Help…what kind of help?” Zoey asked, she was confused. What kind of help could she possibly need?
“I know I promised that I would not bother you about your condition…you know..your nightmares. But, I- you need this. You can’t keep doing this to yourself. I explained your sickness.” Jade rambled on.
Zoey eyes went wide and interrupted Jade by saying, “My condition. Sickness. Are you fucking kidding me?”
Jade stared at Zoey. “Look, I-I”
“Jade, you promised me. You gave me your word. How could you?” Zoey furiously said, as she stood up from the bed. She snatched her hands away from Jade.
“Zoey, you need this. Hear me out. They can fix you.” Jade insisted.
“Fix me.” Zoey said as she sniffed. She bitterly laughed.
“You speak about me as if I’m damaged goods. I’m not fixable. I’m rotten to the core. If you can’t love me as I am then I guess. I guess you need to let me go.” Zoey told Jade as she looked at her with her watery grey eyes.
Jade stood up from the bed. “Zoey, listen.”
“No, you listen. What you did, I get it? But, you went behind my back for something I don’t even want!” Zoey angrily said, as she paces back and forth.
Jade want to step near Zoey. “No, you are not rotten. You just need to..”
The door slammed open. “What’s all the yelling for?” Pol asked, as he stared down Jade.
Zoey stood still by the window. “Jade was just about to leave.” Zoey said as she hinted to Jade to take her stuff and get lost.
Pol turned to look at Zoey. Zoey had her arms crossed.
“What are you waiting for? A proper dismissal, leave.” Pol snapped at Jade. Jade quickly left, she knew not to question Pol.
“Zoey, don’t pay attention to her. She doesn’t deserve to have room in your head.” Pol said trying to comfort Zoey.
Zoey nodded as she angrily uncrossed her arms and hummed in agreement.
“I would like to be alone, please.” Zoey said, looking up at the ceiling.
Pol frowned. I have to get Tommy or John.
“I’ll leave you be. I’ll be going out in a bit. Stay as long as you need. This is your home.” Pol told Zoey.
Zoey nodded, she didn’t feel like talking. She needed to think about her relationship.
Pol left Zoey alone as she left with a goal in mind, finding her nephews or Jade before things got out of hand. Jade better hope I don’t find her first.

Thomas Shelby Best Friend II
Zoey knocked on the door of Jade’s house.
Jades mom, Eve, opened the door. She looked at Zoey and mentally sighed.
“Hi, what can I do for ya?” Eve politely asked Zoey. She knew she couldn’t disrespect Zoey. If someone would’ve told her that she would have been expected to give unconditional respect to some twenty year old. Oh, she would have been livid.
Yet here she stands at forty-five having to bow down to Zoey. Not by choice. She heard the rumors. A friend of hers told her that’s she saw Zoey take down a man with a blade. Just thinking about it, she feels shivers down her spine.
“Hi, I’m looking for Jade.” Zoey answered with a fake smile. She knew Eve talked behind her back. She overheard someone at the Garrison mentioned that Eve, the lady from the bakery was running her mouth on how despicable and very much animal like Zoey behaved.
For the sake of Jade, Zoey shoved her burning anger aside and smiled.
“Jade, is in London. Did she not mention that to you. I mean, aren’t you best friends?” Eve mockingly said to Zoey. Eve was treading on dangerous waters.
If there was one thing that Zoey despised, it was being mocked. Zoey grinned and nodded as she stepped back from the door.
“Yeah, you would think, I would know but then again…I’m not God..now or am I?” Zoey sarcastically said as she smirked at Eve.
“I-“ Eve began to say. “However, I do know people around here, which brings me to my next point. I may not be God, but I sure do here how people run their mouth without thinking about what could happen to them.” Zoey playfully yet seriously said to Eve.
Eve green eyes went wide and though to herself, “Did someone tell Zoey about the conversation at the Bakery?” I just had to run my mouth, ugh, I never learn.
“Now, I’m sure you have a lot of reflecting to do. I’ll be on my way now. Make sure to keep your eyes open. I wouldn’t want Jade to run into my arms crying about how her mom went missing. You have a good day now. Bye.” Zoey mockingly said to Eve. Zoey knew that Eve feared her but when she was around her little friends, she tend to show off.
Eve wrapped her arms around her waist in an attempt to protect herself. She nodded goodbye to Zoey as she let out a shaky bye.
Zoey glared at Eve for a second and walked away from Eve before she let her rage take over.
Eve swiftly closed the door and leaned against the wall of her house.
“She said Bye. Zoey only says bye to the dead.” Eve quietly said to herself. She slid down to her floor and hugged herself tightly. I should’ve known better than to mock her.
Zoey walked down the empty street and gripped onto her trench coat as she ranted to herself, “Best friends, more like girlfriends. And what could be in London. Hmm, never mind. Jade will let me know. I trust her. She hasn’t given me a reason to doubt her…yet.”
“I guess, I’ll go to visit Tommy.” Zoey thought.
