THE HEADMASTER FROM HELL

Part 62 - TIME MOVES ON

NOTE - The story jumps forward 9 months at this point. I did this in order to move the story forward a bit. After 61 parts i think its appropriate to jump forward and move things along and you will also see some reasons why as you read it   

Reece looked at his watch. A large chunky digital watch. Sean had bought all the boys watches like this. It was part of their uniform and mandatory to wear them. Forgetting to wear their watch was even a punishable offence.

''I want you to wear your nice watches at all times'' Sean had told them ''Its very important for you to keep an eye on the time all day to make sure you are not wasting time and to make sure you are meeting all the deadlines i set you!''

It was 2 in the afternoon and just another dreary day in the factory. Reece was tired and wanted to stop already but he would be working until 10pm like he did every day. Every day was the same routine over and over. Get up at 6am and have a cold shower and then a disgusting breakfast. Then start work at 7am and work until 10pm, 15 hours, with only a few breaks 

For boys like Reece in the boarding school there was no escape ever. They were stuck there all day every day

It had been 9 months since Sean started the boarding school and work regime at the ''school'' and for Reece, Robert and others there was no end in sight. The misery continued day after day week after week

Liam, Sandra and Alan were now long gone from Grange Road and Liam was very happy at Waterloo Hill school. Sandra and Alan had also got jobs at other schools and all three of them were happy not having to deal with Sean anymore and tried not to think about him. But they often thought about all the boys still trapped at the school and they felt guilty about being so happy when they knew the boys were suffering at the school

Sandra and Alan were still together, very happy, and had even got married. And Liam was still living with Sandra. Alan had moved in with them and was now Liam's foster father. Liam was happy with his foster parents Sandra and Alan.

Sandra had decided to keep the baby and she gave birth to a baby boy. She and Alan had no idea if the baby was his or Sean's but Alan stuck by his word to bring the child up as his

''As far as i'm concerned the boy is my son'' he said ''We won't even tell Sean about this''

Sandra was delighted to have another boy. Now she had 4 sons of her own plus a foster son. She had been destined to raise 5 boys!

Liam was happy to have a baby foster brother. Sandra's other sons Kevin. Tom and Richie were also happy to have another brother

Sandra and Alan named him Jamie and he was such an adorable baby

''Its funny how i ended up with 4 sons, five if you count Liam'' Sandra said to Alan one night while they watched Jamie sleep ''When i was a little girl i thought i would have daughters but instead i had all boys and i am happy because i think sons are better!''

Alan laughed playfully ''But be honest you only say that because you only had boys. You don't know what it would have been like to have girls and if you had had only girls i bet you would have said that daughters are better''

Sandra laughed too ''Yes true you make a good point. Well i am just happy i had sons though. But if i had had daughters i probably would have been happy with them too. Or i could have had a few of each. But no i was always destined to have boys only''

Owen was now a professional footballer. Sean had got his dream at last. Owen played on a proper team and Sean was making more money from being his manager. But Owen was not coping with the pressure very well. He didn't really like it but Sean was forcing him into it and Lorraine was no support to her son as usual. She insisted he do as he was told and obey Sean
