the ultimatum

i love you, always have always will

Tim jumps into his truck and speeds off, leaving angela Lucy and Aaron confused in the garden.

He drives straight to Ryan's and gets out the truck, he was in a reckless state.
He goes up to the door and knocks on it, no answer so he bangs on it.
"If you don't fucking open that door I'll shoot ryan!" Tim shouts, suddenly the door flew open.

"what the fuck is your problem you psycho" Ryan snaps and Tim chuckles.
"Seriously? My problem? Says the one who abuses women for a living?! Give me strength" Tim chuckles shaking his head.
"I didn't Bradford, what ever that lying cow has said. I didn't" Ryan says and Tim pushes him inside and slams the door shut.
"Don't you fucking dare call her a lying cow!" Tim snaps and Ryan backs into the kitchen terrified at tims behaviour.

"Back away big bad Bradford" Ryan snaps and Tim shakes his head,
"Try me" he mutters grabbing a sharp knife off the counter.
"what you going to do? Stab me, go on. Loose your job and kids and Lucy" Ryan says and Tim shakes his head, and pins Ryan against the wall with a knife to his neck.
"Don't undermine me" Tim whispers viciously, pushing the knife further into Ryan's skin.

Suddenly the door opened and Angela and Aaron speed into the kitchen where Tim had a knife pinned to Ryan's neck.
"Tim stop! Drop the fucking knife!" Angela snaps.

Tim takes a deep breath in but doesn't move. Aaron glances at angela and back at the scene, he pulls his phone out to a photo of the twins on Tim's instagram.
"Tim don't do anything silly! Look at your kids Tim they need you! Ryan isn't worth it Tim" Aaron says softly approaching Tim with his phone.

Tim glances at the photos and he face softens when he sees his babies faces, Tim stands back in defeat, drops the knife on the floor and walks out the house.

Angela and Aaron and Ryan look at eachother.
"I'm getting him done for assult" Ryan says fumbling with his phone.
"Oh no you're not. If you do I make sure your badge and life is destroyed..and I can as I'm a detective I'm your boss, I'm higher rank than you" angela says viciously.
Ryan nods slowly.

"Keep out of our lives. Don't even go near Lucy or Tim or anyone Ryan!" Angela snaps and her and Aaron storms out and find Tim sat on the curb.

"Stupid man Tim!! What the fuck were you doing?? It's your kids birthday!! If we didn't step in there would have you killed him?!" Angela snaps furious at Tim and he just shrugs.
"Tim you need to stop acting out like this when your feelings are all jumbled up, you need to start expressing them, instead out taking everything out on everyone. I thought you learned this when you got custody of the twins" angela says sadly and Tim shrugged again kicking a rock infront of him.

"Sorry. Won't happen again..promise.." he says quietly.
Angela and Aaron look at eachother and they nod and look back at Tim.
"Let's get you home." Angela sighs helping Tim up.

Aaron drives Tim's truck and Angela drives with Tim in Aaron's car.
They get back to Tim's where Lucy was just finishing the last touches of cleaning.
They walked into the house, when she sees Tim she sighs in relief.
"Thank god your okay"

Tim just goes over to Lucy and gathers her into a hug " I love you, always have always will" he says and Aaron and angela take that as the cue to leave, they'll speak to Lucy at work the next day.
