"hey Tim I'm at work, can it wait?" Wesley says picking up the phone, Tim sighs and looks at his daughter and back forward.
"It'll be quick, it's quite important" Tim replies.

"Okay..is this about Sadie? Angela told me everything.." Wesley says and Tim sighs
"Yeah. We need the address of Chris's ex wife Lucy. We are going to apologise to Rosie..I know it won't do much but it's a start." Tim says and Wesley sighs.

"if I remember right from them being together..they live in 610 Alvarado apartments" Wesley says and Tim thanks him.
"Thanks Wesley, I'll make sure to tell you and Angela how it goes" he says and hangs up, he then puts the location into his phone and starts driving.

They pull up to the apartments and Tim immediately recognises Chris's car from when he threatened to snap him in half at Sadie's school.
"we are here" Tim says getting out and grabbing all the gifts and stuff.

"Seriously? She lives here what a dump" Sadie scoffs.
"Do you just not know how to stop!!??" He snaps as they walk up to the apartment door, Sadie doesn't reply.

"610, this is the one. Be nice Sadie that's all I ask." Tim says before pressing the doorbell, it takes a few seconds for someone to answer.

The door pulls open, and it was Lucy..surprise and anger appeared on her face.
"What are you doing here??" She snaps looking at Sadie, Chris goes over and stands next to Lucy.

"look, the truth has came out..i do know my daughter has been bullying yours, which is why there is no reason for us to take extra measures and actions. I deeply apologise for the way I've been but you have to understand I believed the lies my daughter was telling me and what do you do as a parent? You always stand by your child.

Look here's a gift bag filled up with gifts to give to Rosie, and pastry's and donuts, I know it's not going to cut it and I don't expect it too..I just want you to know I do know about everything now..and that we are deeply sorry." Tim says and Sadie holds back a laugh, Tim glares at her and nudges her.

Lucy raises her eyebrows and looks at Chris and he nods "don't apologise to me, apologise to Rosie" she says gesturing them to come in.
They walk in and walk straight to the kitchen counter dropping the stuff on the counter top and stands about awkwardly.

"Let me just grab her." Lucy says quietly walking off leaving Chris, Sadie and Tim alone.
"I'm sorry for all the bullshit I've gave you Chris." Tim sighs.

"You were standing by your kid. Like you said." Chris responds.

"Rosie we have visitors" she hears her mom say, Rosie quickly looks around to see if she hid the evidence from harming her self before pulling her sleeves over her hands and wiping her eyes and opening the door.

"I'm not up to visitors." She grumbles sadly.
"it's the Bradford's." Lucy responds softly brushing a peice of hair out of her daughters eyes and Rosie frowns.
"Seriously?"she scoffs before walking out of the room.

"uhh Rosie..we are so sorry..Sadie is so sorry" Tim stutters and Rosie glances at her dad then back at her mom before crossing her arms.
"So it's all came out that Sadie is a nasty, vile manipulative bitch?" Rosie asks and Lucy winces
"Language Rosie" she says softly and Tim shakes his head.

"No. Don't Lucy, Rosie could call my daughter anything and I won't step in the way. My daughter has made your daughter have the worst time of her life, and I feel guilty, because my child who I brought up to be kind to the world has ruined your daughter's life.  I can't imagine how bad this has impacted you all..Rosie, I know this isn't going to fix it but we bought you gifts. To say sorry that is. And I understand if you want to take further action..harassment whatever.." Tim says pushing the gifts on the counter forward, Rosie reluctantly steps forward to glance through them.

"thanks.  I don't want to take further action. I want to brush this under the carpet and be left alone..alone by Sadie and all her petty friends. And mr Bradford I respect you have came here to apologise but this isn't on you, this isn't your fault. This is Sadie. You shouldn't apologise, she should be" Rosie replies and Tim nods gratefully and nudges Sadie, she sighs.

"I'm deeply sorry Rosie. I will leave you alone..I promise." Sadie replies, everyone thought it was a real apology but Tim knows his daughter. He knows she didn't mean it, he tenses, he just wants his daughter to change.

"Sadie. Can I ask you something?" Lucy says stepping forward.
"Yeah." Sadie nods.
"Why did you bully my daughter?" She asks and Sadie shrugs.
"Easy target." She repeats what she said to her dad, Lucy could see through her.
"Hmm right." Lucy replies.
"Yeah." She nods.

"Okay. Not in a million years  do I expect us to be friends. Because I don't want that. But can we just brush this under the carpet, and forget about it.? I would really love to just carry on with my life, focus on school." Rosie says and everyone nods.
"Fair enough. Yes." Sadie replies.

"Okay. Here's my card it's got my personal number on at the bottom. If you need anything like anything at all, call me. It's the least I could do" Tim says handing each Chris and Lucy his card with his work number on and personal number on.
"Thanks officer bradford." They all say and he nods.

"come on Sadie, let's go home." Tim replies nudging Sadie to leave.
"Bye." She says to them all.

"Oh and one thing. Sadie I don't apologise for sending you to hospital." Rosie shouts and Tim turns around.
"I wouldn't expect you to." He says softly and they leave shutting the door behind them and sighing in relief.
