That night after all of Eric's friends had gone home, Austin was left with the daunting task of cleaning up all of the beer cans and smashed food on the floor. He finally finished up around two in the morning and was exhausted and beaten. All he wanted to do was go to bed and fall into a deep sleep, but he remembered that Eric wasn't permitting him to sleep in the bed. So he went into the bedroom and laid down on the floor next to the bed. The hardwood was cold on his tiny frame and the breeze from the air conditioner was blowing right on him. He was too exhausted to care and drifted off to sleep.

The next morning he was woken up by the sound of Eric getting ready for work. He quickly got up and started heading for the door.

"Where do you think you are going?" Eric asked from the bathroom.

"I'm going to make you breakfast before you have leave for work." Austin offered.

"Did I tell you to make me anything?"

"No, but I know..." He was abruptly cut off.

"Exactly. I will tell you if and when I want you to cook anything for me. Now get in the bathroom and do what you need to do, then meet me in the basement. You have a long day ahead of you."

Austin figured that Eric was going to leave him a chore list a mile long, but when he got to the basement he saw Eric standing next to a chair with four belts in his hand. Immediately Austin knew what was going to happen and a panic attack started to set in.

"Please don't! Please don't tie me in the chair. I promise I won't try and leave!" Austin begged but he was quickly met with a swift hit from Eric.

"Didn't I fucking tell you not to speak unless I tell you to?! Now sit the fuck down in the chair before I really hurt you!" He demanded as he pointed to the chair.

Austin did what he was told as to avoid anymore wrath from Eric. Eric wasted no time tying Austin to the chair and he made sure that the restraints where tight enough that Austin couldn't try and get out of them. Once he was done he walked out of the room and returned holding an oversized gag. He put it in Austin's mouth and fastened it, also making sure there was no way it could slip out. The final thing he did was put ear buds in Austin's ears. He selected a screamo song and turned it to repeat and blasted it.

"There you go. Have a nice day." Eric grinned as he shut and locked the door.

Austin was left in the basement all day and into a good part of the night before Eric finally got home from work. When Eric finally decided to let Austin out he noticed that his head was hanging and blood had come out of his nose. He walked over, turned the music off and yanked the ear buds out of Austin's ears. Austin looked up at him with blood shot eyes and dried blood running down his face.

"What the fuck is this!" Eric bellowed.

"I had a nose bleed. The music was too loud and it caused me to get a migraine." Austin said softly.

"You stupid mother fucker, you got it on the carpet! Get up and clean it, and you better pray that it doesn't stain!" Eric said as he undid the restraints.

Austin tried willing his muscles to move but they had gone numb hours ago. Eric saw it as defiance and pulled Austin to his feet. Austin stumbled and fell forward wrapping his arms around Eric for support.

"Get the fuck off of me." Eric demanded as he pulled Austin's arms off of him. "You know where the cleaning supplies are and I suggest you get to work on that mess you made."

As weak as Austin was he scrubbed the blood stain with all of the strength he had. After twenty minutes of scrubbing he finally got the stain out, relief washed over him. He dried the spot before dumping the water into the sink and wiping the sink dry. He went back over to the spot and waited for Eric to return. He knew that he wasn't told to come find Eric when he was done, so he waited. Fifteen minutes passed before Eric came down the steps.

"You all done?"

"Yes sir, I got the stain out." Austin said not making eye contact.

"Hm, looks like you did. Why didn't you come and tell me you were finished?"

"You didn't give me permission to come find you, sir."

Eric got a smug look across his face. "You learn quickly. Maybe tonight you won't have to get beat."

Just then Austin's stomach let out a loud rumble.

"What the fuck was that." Eric glared at him.

"I'm sorry sir; I haven't eaten anything in a few days."

"Fuck, I guess I should feed you. You'd be completely worthless to me if you're weak. Stay right here. I'll be right back."

Austin waited in the same spot until Eric came back with a plate in his hands. He knew that it was not going to be a lavish dinner, he was just happy that he was going to eat. On the plate was a lone peanut butter and jelly sandwich and some crackers. Eric put the plate on the floor and instructed Austin to sit down and eat it. He placed a room temperature bottle of water down for Austin to drink. Austin was grateful for the food, even if it was small. Once he finished Eric picked up the plate and empty bottle and threw it in the trash.

"Thank you sir for the food." Austin offered trying to please Eric as much as he could.

"Now follow me." Eric instructed. "This is where you will be sleeping from now on."

Austin took sight of his 'new' bed. All it consisted of was a few old blankets on the floor and a thin blanket folded up next to them.

Eric seeing the look of dissatisfaction snapped at Austin. "Do you have an issue with it? Would you prefer to sleep on nothing?!"

"No sir. Thank you for allowing me to sleep on it." Austin offered hoping it was enough to satisfy Eric.

"Good. Now go to bed! I'll wake you in the morning."

Austin laid on his make shift bed and covered himself up with the thin blanket he was provided. After Eric had left, and locked the door, Austin started to cry. He cried because he missed Ryan, he cried because he missed his parents but they were also tears of relief that Eric had spared him another night of vicious beatings.
