Sadie was sleeping, she tried to have food but she couldn't keep it down..her head was just in too much pain. It was now just after 8pm and Tim was still sat in the same place as he was when he came into the room hours earlier. He hadn't moved an inch, he sat by his daughter's side for hours..

Angela popped in a few times, and so did grey and luna. But Tim refused to move.
Angela crept into the room, tim looked up and smiles softly.

"Hey." She says as she takes a seat next to Tim quietly.
"Hey." He rasps out looking at his daughter sadly, she looked so small and vulnerable in the hospital bed..
"You should probably get some fresh air, move your legs around, grab a coffee and food." Angela suggests, tim shakes his head.

"I can't leave her Angela" Tim mutters and Angela sighs.
"I'll stay. Tim, she's asleep and she will be for a while. The day hasn't just had a huge impact on her it's also took a toll on you too, so please go and take care of your self. Sadie will want that" Angela says softly.

Tim sighs and nods. "I'll be back..take care of her..if she needs me call me straight away angela I mean it" Tim says as he leaves and Angela nods.
"Course" she says softly and watches Tim leave.

Tim walks down the hall way to go outside to take a few breaths of fresh air. He finds himself sitting on a bench..

He checks through his phone, and thinks it's about time to call Sadie's friends to tell them what the agenda is.
"Hello mr Bradford" Ava answered the phone, she was sat with Rylee and Anna in her home.
"Hey. Are you with Anna and rylee?" Tim asks.
"Yeah. We are sat in my home, how's Sadie?" Ava replies putting the phone on speaker.

"uhh, grade three concussion and a broken nose." Tim informs the girls, he hears them all gasps, he's glad his daughter had great friends and a good support system.
"Oh my gosh! I hope you are taking further action for Rosie! She shouldn't be able to walk LA grounds after what she's done! Poor Sadie" Ava says through the phone.

"Don't worry kiddo we are. When Sadie is feeling up to it that is, she's going to have to take it easy for a few weeks. That means no school and no physical activity's" Tim says and the girls sigh.
"It'll be a shame not having Sadie around at school." Rylee comments and Tim sighs softly.

"You guys can come around whenever. You are all welcome." Tim says softly and the girls smile to eachother.
"Thanks mr Bradford. We hope Sadie is okay." Ava replies and Tim stares to his lap.
"She will be, she's a Bradford. Anyway. I've got to go- I'll keep in contact" Tim says and hangs up.

The girls all look at eachother in panic.
"Ava! Why did you say that- about police...now they'll find out about us! And what we all did!" Rylee snaps and Ava grimaces.
"It's fine..it won't come out..plus it's not my fault they'll be involved. I bet mr Bradford was going to involve them anyway"Ava says and Anna scoffs
"It will Ava. Believe me it will all come out." Anna says and Ava rolls her eyes.

"Look. Let's just forget about it, Sadie might drop it..because she knows how much shit we can all get in." Ava shrugs.
"yeah. let's just carry on watching this movie and wait for further updates from her dad" Anna suggests and the girls nod.

Tim grabs him self a coffee and a donut, he knows it's not much but atleast he gets some sugar and energy into him.

He eats the donut on his way back to Sadie's room, by the time he was there the donut was gone and he just had his coffee. He walks in to find Angela on her phone, her phone was on a low light and Sadie was still asleep.

Angela looks at Tim when he sits down.
"No food?" She asks curiously.
"I had a donut, ate it on my way here." He says and Angela throws her hands in the air frustratedly.
"And you didn't get me one?!" She scoffs and Tim laughs.

Sadie woke up from the laughing next to her, she groans in pain.
Tim jumps up to her side
"Hey, it's okay." He says softly rubbing her hair.
She groans in pain and moves her position.
"what where you guys laughing at?" She slurs and Tim shakes his head.
"Don't worry kiddo, you don't need to know" Tim says sitting back down next to Angela.

Angela smiles softly at Sadie "how's my girl feeling?" She asks and Sadie shrugs.
"Like shit. I want my mom." Sadie slurs and Tim freezes, Angela's mouth gaped open and she glanced at Tim and back at Sadie.
"Uhh honey.." Angela starts and Tim shakes his head at Angela.

"I know babe. I know you want her, I want her too.." Tim says softly and Sadie shakes her head.
"I want mom.." she says tearing up.
"she's looking over you honey, I know you want her..but you have your dad right?? And he plays both parent roles. He's like your mom and dad in one right" Angela says softly and Sadie shakes her head carefully, but then a wave of nausea flashes over her and she pukes all over her self.

"Oh! Oh!" Tim panics shaking out of his trance, and grabbing a sick bowl to catch the rest of it in meanwhile Angela runs for a nurse.
The nurse comes in and makes Angela and Tim stand in the hallway so she can change Sadie and give her anti sickness medicine and more pain meds.

Tim was leant against the wall in the hall way and Angela was stood next to him.
"I don't- why..why did she bring Isabelle up" Tim stutters.
"Tim, she's a child, she's in hospital, she's in pain, course she will want her mom" Angela sighs.
"Yeah. I just want to take her pain away, her mental pain and physical pain. I miss my happy girl." Tim sighs and Angela smiles softly.
"She will get there Tim, so will you. Just think Isabelle past not that long ago, you two are still grieving for her. She's allowed to want her mom from time to time" Angela says softly.

"I know she is..but she's wanted her mom her whole life Angela, Isabelle's never been there. People like that Rosie girl should find her self lucky she has two loving parents and a perfect stable life. It's unfair, I hate how awful my girls life is. I'm going to make it better and make sure that Rosie girl isn't walking the streets no more" Tim says sternly.
Angela puts an hand on hie forearm.
"Let's not go there yet Tim. Be there for Sadie, we can sort everything afterwards, okay?" She says softly and Tim nods.

The nurse comes out "she's back to sleep now. She should be out all night" she smiles softly.
"Thanks " Tim nods and so does Angela.
"Press the buzzer if you or her need anything. I'll check her in a few hours." She smiles and takes her gloves off and walks off.

Tim sighs in relief and walks into her room Angela following behind.
