"Williams!" He shouted close by my ear making my heart fall out of my mouth.
"You fucking idiot!" I screeched in a high pitched tone, holding onto my heart.
He started laughing.
I sat up in my bed and looked around, the sun was setting behind the thin glass windows and my room was empty.
"That's no way to talk to your Lieutenant is it?" He murmured.
He dragged a chair and sat down next to my bed, propping his feet up against the frame.
"Have you had a nice day nursing your hangover all alone in bed?" I yawned and stretched.
"Yes." I answered with a proud smile.
"That was clever, escaping all punishments, you do know you're going to well and truly make up for that tomorrow?" The smile drained from my face but only grew on his.
"Do you enjoy torturing people?" I complained.
"It's my favourite pass time." He laughed.
The door opened up and the sound of muffled laughter and voices rang through the wooden walls. Axel jumped up from his chair immediately and stood up straight. He acted like he was doing something wrong and was about to be caught out. Caitlin, Holly and Nicole walked in, took one look at Axel and then silenced themselves.
They stood to attention.
"At ease soldiers." Axel said sternly.
His authoritative voice was back, his posture was now tense and his face fell utterly straight.
"It appears Williams here is a little under the weather. See to it that she doesn't cause any more trouble this evening." He saluted the room and left.
The girls instantly relaxed and came running over to my bed.
"Oh my god! What the fuck happened? Why are you still here?" They bombarded me with questions.
I shrugged my shoulders. "I woke up this morning at the back of the cafeteria and I told the general I fainted so he gave me a day in bed to recover." I hoped they couldn't see through my lie.
"You lucky bitch! The Lieutenant went so hard on us today. It's like he knew we were all hungover or something." Caitlin pointed out.
I just grabbed a water bottle from the floor and started drinking it to busy my lips. I couldn't help but feel overjoyed that I had a break from the horrendous bootcamp.
"Let's toast some s'mores tonight." Nicole suggested, they're giving some away in the cafeteria right now and the guys are loading up on them all to hand out later.
"Sounds nice." I muttered, climbing to my feet and gathering up my shower caddy. "I'm off for a shower." The girls laughed and shook their heads in disapproval.
