( Sk_Jokling for helping me get some ideas for this chapter)

It was nearly 7 in the morning, when impatient knocking came from your door. You fell out of bed and heard Ted yelling from outside the door,"HURRY THE FUCK UP!" You were deeply annoyed by Teds screaming, but managed to get ready at the least. You still stunk but you were gonna take a shower after training. You opened the door and Ted immediately rolled his eyes," Jesus fuckin Christ, finally, I've been waiting nearly 30 minutes." Ted was obviously there for awhile. The ground below him was wet with sweat. It was a really hot day and you weren't that happy about it.

Training. Fucking training. You had to do almost 2 minutes of push ups, which hurt your arms, and the 2 minutes of sit-ups didn't help either. You then had to run 2 treacherous miles, which hurt your back. And then again, repeating the same things over and over to increase your strength, which all just ended up making your muscles hurt. Thankfully it was already lunch. Ted chuckled. "Already hurtin? Fuckin pathetic." And that was followed by Bill approaching Ted, sipping a cup of water, and defending you. "Oh cmon Ted, don't be so hard on them, they just came from a sandstorm." Ted would obviously be very annoyed, but since Bill was his friend, he listened to him. "Fine.. Go enjoy your fuckin break Y/N." The way Ted changed his emotions so quickly scared you, but you just shrugged it off. You quickly made your way to the cafeteria, which you didn't even know existed and got some food and coffee. The food was a meh, but for some reason the coffee tasted really good, and you never saw much water out there. You just shrugged and ate, and Bill sat across from you. When he sat down, he took off his helmet and smiled. "Sorry about Ted, he's a bit, ehm, feisty? At times." You smiled back at him. "It's fine! He's not really much of a problem, I'm sure if I get to know him, he'll be nicer." Ted would sit next to Bill obviously annoyed by something, for once not me since we met. Bill would ask," What's wrong Ted?" Ted didn't answer and just mumbled a few words. "Fuckin Steve.. Fucking asshole..." Bill would stare Ted. "Yeah for some reason he really doesn't like Steve-" Y/N also stare at Ted. "I can hear that-" You didn't understand a lot of what's going on, but according to Bill, Ted has lots of anger issues, and he just hates Steve because of his "AtTiTuDe". Bill always just shrugs it off. There nothing he can really do on how they act toward each-other. While Bill was talking about how Ted and Steve fight all the time and things like that, you remember about Skittles. You thought I wonder if he's ok... That storm was really bad.. You also spaced out during that time, and Bill was trying to get your attention. "Y/N, you alright? Y/N!" You eventually snapped back into reality. "Sorry, spaced out Bill." Bill would chuckle. "Your fine. I just wanted to ask a question." You'd be confused, but continued to eat your food. "Do you have any family Y/N?" You would hesitate for a moment. Remember that you had no idea where your family was at the moment. However they had left you, alone in the hot desert. "Not really. I have a friend." Bill would look at me slightly concerned. "Hmm. I'm sorry about that-" You'd try to change the subject. "What about you Bill?" Bill would be caught off guard by the question. "Oh uhm, me? Well.. My families dead.. But I have a wonderful wife! She's all I have, and I'm all she has." Bill would cringe at the last sentence, but smile non the less. You would smile back at him, and look at slightly broken clock. "Jesus it's almost time for the second segment of my training-" Bill would also look at the clock. Ted on the other hand was asleep. "Oh jeez- Ted wake up, you have to resume training Y/N." Ted would mumble a few things before getting up. He was obviously tired. Way more tired than other soldiers are. "Fucking fucks... Come on Y/N..." Ted would get up and take off his helmet to run his eyes and damn he looks way younger than 35.- Besides that topic, Ted puts back his helmet,walks to the training area, and brings you with. Bill said he needed to do something, so he didn't follow.

Once you got to the training area, Ted handed you a large ass gun. It was a sniper, and you didn't really know that you were start off big right of the bat. "Hit the middle. Straight on." You stared for awhile to tried to pin point the location of the target. You eventually found the target and then shot, which was a mistake, because the recoil was hella strong, and the gun was heavy itself, so you hit it pretty off center. Ted would look at you and then sigh. "Again.". This kept going for many, many, MANY hours.

Dinner eventually came and you sighed and nearly dropped the sniper from exhaustion, and Ted grabbed it back. He groaned and just walked away. You on the other hand fell backwards. Your arms hurt like hell, and your eyes were sore. Steve would lean over you. "You okay there Y/N?" You'd mutter something and get up. "Oh- Uh yeah, extremely sore. I don't know how Ted can hold that large ass gun for so long." You'd sigh and stretch. "I mean he's trained for awhile now. Longer than Captain has, so he's kinda more.. How do I say this... stronger? I don't really know." You'd stretch your fingers as well. "Jeez- that seems like a long time." You'd stand up straight and wipe the sweat off your face. "Anyway Steve, do you wanna go to dinner now. It's time right?" Steve would look at the sky, which was getting dark. "Yeah sure, Captain will probably come with." You'd give a thumbs up. "That's alright!".

Time skip

After eating dinner, you decided to take a shower, because you must have stunk after training. You took a shower, which surprisingly was decent, you thought It'd be over crowded and weird. By the time you finished, it was pretty dark. You decided to go outside and see how it was like at night.

Basically just like daytime, but without people and darker. You just continued walking, and eventually bump into someone. "EaAAh- Don't hurt me!-" The person you bumped into seemed really scared and shaky. "I'm not gonna hurt you, it's okay-". You attempted to help the person up, but they wouldn't do anything. "Don't worry, I'm not an enemy." The person seemed to calm down. Once they got up, you noticed their visor looked like Ted's but rounder. "Sorry for bumping into you, what's your name?" The person would stutter a bit. "Jeremy.. Jeremy David..." You'd smile at Jeremy. "Nice to meet you Jeremy, I'm Y/N! I'm kinda new here." Jeremy would put a bit of space between you and him. "Oh uhmm... Nice to meet you.. I'm supposed to be the second sniper for this army but I usually just go around here for a bit at night to see if nothings wrong." You would be confused on why he backed up a bit from you, and decide to ask about it. "Sorry if it bothers you, but why'd you back up from me?-" Realizing how badly you worded that, you gave yourself a mental facepalm. "Oh- I don't really like people close to me." You'd understand that they didn't like to socialize much. "That makes sense- Sorry for bothering you though!" For a brief moment, Jeremy would give a smile. "No, your fine hehe- I need to keep going though, so see you around I guess." Jeremy would walk away before you could say anything. You just walked back to your room, pretty tired, and flopped on your bed once again, this time in your Pajamas.
