tim finds his old high school report cards in his childhood home

Warnings- fights, smoking, childabuse, overdose thoughts.

Tim Bradford was taking one last sweep of the house before leaving it for good- leaving all his memories behind, selling this house is some kind of closure for him.

Genny and Lucy were sat outside on the grass drinking some soda and eating a sandwich, they decided to leave Tim to have space and get his thoughts together and have his closure.

He looks everywhere- all the patched up walls off the time his dad got to aggressive, the dirty sticky carpets with blood drops in multiple spots off the days Tim didn't get to lucky, the dirty yellow walls with spider webs.

He then goes into the attic there was a few boxes and one of them caught Tim's eye.
'Timothy's school stuff'
Tim walked over and opened it

It was filled up with report cards, his note books- even his old school uniform- all of his year book photos and many other things.

He picked up the pile of report cards and god there was a lot.

Tim was trouble in school, he was struggling as he didn't live in a stable home and he was getting beat up on the regular and his mom dying.. he also struggled with his grades.

He picked up the first one.

Name- Timothy James Bradford
Grade- 8

Today Timothy got into abit of a disagreement with a fellow player on the soccer team. Timothy ended up getting into a fight with him sending the player to hospital. We have placed him in reflection room for the rest of the week.

Tim winced at that card as he remembered it all too well, it was a few days after his mom died- and Tim wasn't doing so good- his mom was his safe place.

A player started talking shit about how Tim will never get far in life, and how his mom deserved dying..and Tim ended up launching for him and sending him to hospital with a broken nose.

He dropped the card and picked up the next one

Timothy walked out of his lesson after telling his teacher to "fuck off" and called her a "bastard" this is because she told him to read out to the class. He was placed on a lunch detention.

Tim shook his head, his grades were dropping because he struggled to read..and remember stuff- he started to give up trying.

He remembers the day his father read that card, he beat him until he was black and blue, and kept on saying stuff like 'worthless' 'retard' 'stupid'

Tim shook off them thoughts and read another.

Timothy assaulted another pupil, he pushed him against the locker and punched him multiple times.
We do not accept violence in our school.

Tim assaulted someone for a fair well reason, they made an inappropriate comment about Genny, if he could recall it was 'I bet you I could sleep with bradfords sexy sister' and Tim lost it- Genny was everything to him.

There was a few where Tim launched at people for no reason-he was just looking for fights, Tim was slowly falling off the rails until the military saved him.

He shook his head and read another one.

Tim chuckled, he's realised as much as he was a little shit as a kid he's made his future worth it. He's now an Sargent at the LAPD.

Tim places the pile back down then proceeds to look at photos,

Then suddenly he heard voices behind him
"Tim are you okay?" He hears gents voice
"Yeah- I found a box of my old report cards and school photos" Tim says
"Ooooo, I want to read" Lucy chuckles and takes the pile, she reads a few

"gee Tim you were a little shit back in the day 'Timothy decided to think it was acceptable to turn up to school intoxicated' " Lucy reads out the report card shaking her head, she read a few more.
"Yeah i was a mess" Tim breathes out
"I'm so proud of you Tim- that you didn't give up because look at you now your a Sargent" Lucy smiles

"I wouldn't have been able to do it with out Genny..I can't lie to you but back then I was debating weather to just eat all the pills in the house and kill my self..but Genny you were the only one who kept me going..I couldn't leave you with that monster but I also couldn't allow you to go into the care system- thanks for keeping me going" Tim says standing up and giving his sister a hug.
"Love you Tim- now should we have a look at your year book photos" Genny pulled away from the hug and smiled at Lucy
