THE HEADMASTER FROM HELL

Part 9 - BIRTHDAY GIFTS

Louise woke up. She had just been dreaming about Matthew. The same dream she had every night . The one where he was back home with her and they were happy again. She woke up feeling relief and happy for a few moments it took a while to sink in that it was just a dream and not reality. Then it hit her like a ton of bricks like it always did. It was just a dream and her son was not back with her

She got up to put the kettle on. The house seemed so quiet and lonely without him. Everyday was the same now. She just missed him and wanted him home so much and one hour a week with him was no where near enough. She had to get him back somehow or at least find a way to spend more time with him. She just had to but right now she had no idea how she could since Sean wasn't going to give him back or let her spend more time with him. But there had to be a way?

Louise felt so depressed and couldn't find any joy in life now. She just went through the motions. she even lost track of the days sometimes. What day was it today? Then she remembered its Monday of course the start of another week. Well at least she could go to work, not that it helped much but it did help the hours pass quicker. The weekends, when she was home all day with nothing to do, were much worse and felt like they went on forever    

Matthew was sleeping in the shed when the alarm clock woke him up. He woke up in pain as it was uncomfortable to sleep on the hard floor. Every night he dreamed he was back home with his mother and when he woke up he felt sadness and despair to be back in reality, back in the shed. He got up and made his way inside to start making his fathers breakfast for him as he was instructed to do every morning. His father had also said he should make Michelle's breakfast too but she had said no she didn't want him making hers as well

Matthew made poached egg on toast, and coffee, and took it up to Sean's bedroom. He took the tray in the room and knelt by the bed

''Your breakfast Sir'' he said

Sean sat up and started eating. Michelle was still in the bed with him

''Good slave'' Sean said as he poured out some coffee ''Now you can do your punishment position for my amusement''

Matthew pulled a face of dismay as he went into a stress position so his father could watch him struggle and be in pain while he ate his breakfast. This was entertainment for Sean

''Very good'' Sean said ''In pain are you?''

''Yes Sir''

Michelle rolled her eyes and got out of bed and put on her dressing gown

''You're such an idiot sometimes Sean really'' she said and started to leave the room

''Are you sure you don't want some of my poached egg on toast?'' he asked her ''it really is very tasty!''

''Get stuffed idiot!'' she answered

Sean just laughed with amusement. Michelle was the only person who could talk to him like that and get away with it. He found it funny whenever she was in one of her moods with him. He knew she was pissed off with the way he treated Matthew but he just found it amusing

''Can i rest yet Sir please?'' Matthew begged his face screwed up in pain in his stress position

''No''

''I miss my mum so much Sir'' Matthew said while in pain ''I wish i was back home now'' 

''Well she doesn't miss you at all she told me. She is enjoying it without you and she doesn't want you home''

Matthew was very upset ''No you're lying Sir i know that. My mum loves me and she wants me home''

''She told me, when i was alone with her, after you came back in at the end of your 1 hour contact on Saturday. She is happy to let me keep you for good now''
