"Tell me this isn't true Jackson", I said through gritted teeth with angry tears in my eyes. He was my dads partner for years. They were good friends. How could he do this.
"I can't do that", he said as I took a step towards him. It was him.
"You comforted us when he died, you came into our house and acted like it wasn't you that caused all of that pain!", I shouted at him.
"It was your family or mine, and it just so happens that James paid me more than the force ever have", he shrugged and I lost it.
I lunged forward and connected my fist with his jaw, he swung back and also connected with me as I tackled him to the floor. We wrestled for a few seconds on the ground till I managed to get on top of him.
I repeatedly slammed my right fist into his face as he struggled to defend himself.
"We trusted you. He trusted you!", I screamed at him as I felt myself being pulled away from him.
"Hey it's me", Em said softly as I wriggled to get out of her grip.
"Let me go", I said trying to fight her hold until Leah approached me.
"Y/N please", Leah whispered as my eyes softened immediately and I looked back to Jackson who was being handcuffed and put in a police car. The 2 officers in the car drove away with him in the back as Paul came over to me.
"I'm so sorry Y/N, I tried to reach you", he said softly and I shook my head.
"It isn't your fault", I said clearing my throat as I turned round and seen the girls, almost forgetting they watched the whole thing. I instantly felt guilty and also ashamed.
"I'm sorry you all had to watch that, I'm not usually like that I promise", I cried out as they all rushed towards me and pulled me in for s group hug.
"Don't apologise for that, it was a normal reaction for something so big", Beth said as they all agreed.
"We'll need you to come down to the station Y/N", Paul said softly as I nodded. I turned to Leah and gave her a hug.
"I'll see you at home", I whispered as she nodded and gave me a quick peck.
"Just so you know, I don't look at you any different after what just happened, you're still you, and I love you", she whispered so no one else could hear. She kissed my forehead as I said I love you and I made my way to the car Em and Paul came here in.
We arrived at the station and I gave a summary of what happened earlier. Once I was finished, Em offered to drop my home as we got in the car and she started the drive.
"Are you okay?", she asked concerned.
"I think so. I'm shocked to be honest, but I'm glad it's over. I just can't believe it was him", I sighed as I was feeling betrayed by my dads 'closest friend'.
"Look in the glove box", Em said as I looked at her confused but opened the glove box anyway. It was my police issued sidearm.
"Thought you'd want it back after your few weeks off", Em said keeping her eyes on the road.
"Yea thanks", I smiled at her as my phone pinged.

Hey, I'm at your old house, I want to show you something. Some of the girls are here too x
"Leah just text me, she's at my old house with a few of the girls, take me there instead?", I asked Em as she turned the car around and made the short journey.
We pulled up at my house as I seen a couple cars. I got out of the car as I said goodbye to Em and she drove off.
I walked up the steps to my house and noticed the door was open. What the hell. My gut was telling me something was wrong. But my head was telling me it's over, there's nothing to worry about. But 99% of the time, your gut is right. I raised my sidearm in front of me as I made my way inside the house slowly.
