Kate had returned back to her lessons for the last hour but couldnt keep her mind straight as of yet they had not been notified by the governors, so it was important to maintain that everything was fine to everybody else and Dobson.
Kate sat twiddling her thumbs waiting for the bell to ring finally signaling the end of day much to Kate's relief, she almost ran to Caroline's office. "Have you heard anything" Caroline shook her head "no news is good news as they say, maybe he won't go to the governors". Kate sighed "I wouldn't count on it, where do I stand if he does" Caroline fought to avoid her gaze "that bad is it?" Kate grumbled. Caroline stepped forward "we wI'll work it out as it comes, come on lets go home work out a plan", Kate nodded smiling briefly at Caroline's caring face.
Kate had gone back to her own house, much to Caroline annoyance but Caroline knew she was probably right, as Lawerance came in the door. If their relationship was going to be outed Lawrence deserved to know first hand.
"what's up mum? You look awful" Caroline shook her head "sorry long day.. I need to talk to you about something". Lawrence sat I front of her "spit it out then mum I'm meant to be meeting Angus in half an hour. Caroline felt flustered she was suprised how much she wasn't sure how to word how to express... No how scared she was for his approval.
"Mum!" She looked at him seeing his amusement at her difficulty to tell him what she was trying too say, "umm well it's about Kate...". "Arhh yes I wondered when you'd bring that up", she looked up surprised at his humors tone, "what do you mean?" he smiled "well although I'm not thrilled to admit it, these walls are not bloody sound proof".
"Hey watch your language, and what.." Finally digesting his words. "Look mum I'm not over joyed by the idea so lets just carry on as we have been". Caroline was taken back at his forwardness "I love her", "that's great but I don't need to know" he said stuffing a pancake into his mouth and heading out the room.
"Lawrence" she called impatiently as he turned "this is serious I need to talk to you". "Look mum I know, did u really think after going on the school trip and Kate never leaving ours except to get a change of clothes. That the spare room is never used as ive seen her coming out of your room, that I wouldn't see what was happening. As much as I'm not thrilled that my mums a rug muncher if your happy and you keep it to yourself I can put up with it".
"Oh thanks Lawrence thats very big of you, but Kate's going through something at work and it maybe I have to admit our relationship to support her, and I know it might affect you at school". He looked down "I don't want people to be mean to you mum, it's not like everyone will understand what if you loose your job, is it that serious?" she was touched by his genuine concern.
"Ill be fine, I worry about you" "oh mum I'll be fine, just if you can try not to make a big deal out of it, id appreciate it. It's hard enough being the head teachers son net-alone if she's a lesbian seeing another member of staff". Caroline understood what he was saying he quietly accepted their relationship but didn't feel like having it thrown in his face. "Do you mind if Kate comes over tonight?" He smiled "I assumed she was already here, " she smiled "Thank you, I love you". "I love you too mum but don't go telling anyone" she smirked as he pulled her into a hug, then disappeared up the stairs.
Meanwhile Kate had agreed she would wait at her house until Caroline rang, she sat in the living room trying to be calm but her whole body was on edge. She prayed Lawrence took their news of her and Caroline well, because the last thing she wanted was for Caroline to have more upset. She knew Lawrence could sometimes be immature but he wasnt silly, and she was pretty sure he knew something was going on between them, seeing as she's been a permeant fixture at their house over the last few weeks.
Kate heard the door bell and assuming it was Caroline ran to open the door, as the door opened she pushed against it trying to shut it. She was met by an angry faced Michael "what have you been up to Kate your going to be in serious trouble, I told you I'd make you sorry." Kate feigning innocence "what are you talking about, please leave me alone". He managed to push the door open pushing her against the wall his hand met her face, the shock taking her off guard. " I never knew what you saw in here... But you told her then helped her make foul out of me. Did u think I'd let you get away with that?" She squirmed under his touch. His hot breathe giggled her skin it made her feel sick " I've missed you... It's a shame it's lead to this".
He almost sounded truly regretful "why?" She spat "because if I can't have you she can't and you humiliated me, I lost me my job all because you told that bitch Elliot. So now I thought I'd return the favor". Kate felt a cold shiver as she saw the smirk across his face " unless...I'll make you a deal you shag me hear and now, like you mean it, and I will make sure the sordid details of your affair with my daughter never reach the governors". " no I haven't done anything, get your hands off me, I've never done anything to Lucy".
" You don't understand Kate I will have you one way or another, but it's up to you weather you play the long game, because who will they believe... A suspected teacher abusing your power, Or a concerned parent who's looking after the welfare of my daughter?"
Kate struggled harder against him "please let go, I don't want to.." His hand once more finding her trousers, undoing them attempting to snake them down her legs. "No" Kate screamed loudly seeing no way out of this situation, a tear streaked down her face.
Kate was surprised to see Lucy appear in the door way "Dad get off her, dad..." Lucy flew at her father striking him on the back forcing him to let Kate go. Kate tried to gather her composure, as Micheal flew at Lucy. His body pushing her back against the door where she crippled over. Micheal took one look at Kate and Lucy birth hunched on the floor and fled from the house, Kate leaned down and help to pick Lucy up "are you ok" she half grunted.
Caroline arrived at Kate's house excited to tell her at least one thing was going right and Lawerence had taken the news well. As she arrived she was suprised and concerned to see the front door wide open, her face drained of all color she had seen this sceen before.
Caroline couldn't help but assuming the worse after what had happened the last few days, how stupid had she been to let Kate go home alone. "Kate, Kate" she called hearing the panic in her own voice "Kate, are you ok?". Kate appeared from the kitchen her shirt buttons torn "what happened?" Caroline rushed into her arms. Shed held Kate deeply scared to let go, feeling Kate's body tremble as she held her kissing her tearful face. "Michael..." She stuttered "Christ, I'm sorry I shouldn't have left you", " it's ok" Kate reassured her as she cupped Caroline's face.
Caroline's eyes moved transfixed in the doorway " Lucy, what are you doing here?, Kate she shouldn't be here" Caroline felt flushed and seriously stressed "Lucy stopped him, if she hadn't turned up he might have.." The trauma flashed across her face "ok Kate I'm sorry, Lucy thank you, are you ok?" she nodded lightly. "Oh Caroline what are we going to do?"...
