Sweet Revenge

II

Six years later

"Dad I'm sorry! Come back please don't leave me!"
I yelled as I saw his figure slowly walking away from me; leaving me in that deserted place with those two men.

"Williams"

"I'm not your father anymore and you will no longer be my...daughter"

Those last words he told me before leaving are still imprinted in my mind.
After all these years here I am, still thinking about that excuse of a father.

"Kyla Williams"

And let's not forget about that plastic bitch. I can't forget the way she laughed at me and the look of victory she had on that ugly face of hers.
They will both regret what they did to me.

"SOLDIER KYLA WILLIAMS!"

My eyes snapped open and took me a moment to figure out where I was, but when I did I regretted it.

I must have fallen asleep, I looked around and all eyes were on me including those of my so called best friend Axel, who was trying hard not to laugh at my current situation.
I glared at him before composing myself clearing my throat.

"Yes, Sir"
I said to my commander, Captain Allen.

"Why didn't you answer my many calls soldier!?"
He said with an hard tone to which I was used by now.

Captain Allen was one of those two men that were with me that night; he's been like a second father to me but despite this he never made favoritism.
In fact the old man treated me just like the others, "constructive insults" and all.

"I'm sorry sir, I was just resting my eyes Sir."

I was actually sleeping but he doesn't need to know that now does he?

At my ass of an excuse Axel couldn't take it anymore and burst out laughing, gaining the attention of our Captain who snapped his head at his direction allowing me to release a breath I didn't know I was holding.

"Soldier Ramirez, now what is it that you find so funny. Would you care share it with all of us?"

"I'm sorry Sir, it was nothing Sir."
Axel said clearly nervous.
Thing that surprised me a little cause he's always been the kind of guy who didn't give a damn about anything or anyone so seeing him in such a situation was...amusing.

But I don't blame him, the old man is able to make nervous even the calmest of people.

"Both of you, when we land you'll do fifteen rounds of the field and then you will come to my office."

What? is this man for real???
We've just returned from an expedition which lasted one week and he expects us to run!?

"Yes, Sir"
Me and Axel answered at the same time.

I swear I hate this job most of the time.
The expeditions, the continuous training, having to prove to everyone in here that I am worth something and that not only cause I'm a woman I am inferior to all of them in here.

Since the first day the only thing that keeps me fighting and not giving up is anger.
Anger towards myself for not being enough and towards the man I once called dad who convinced me no one will ever be able to love me for who I am, that is, a broken soul.

*****************************************

After half an hour we've landed and the only thing I wanted to do was lock myself in my dorm and be alone.

I wasn't always like this. I used to be a normal girl with a lot of friends, who liked to have fun but now I'm not the same anymore; I don't trust anyone.
I don't want to open up to anyone, not to be hurt again.

I'll just have to accept this new version of me.

"I can't believe we seriously have to do this shit"
Axel said approaching me; I wasted no time and elbowed him on the side causing him to double over in "pain".

He's such a drama queen.

I thought rolling my eyes. I know I, unfortunately, have caused him no damage cause this boy right here is made entirely of large and hard muscles.

"What was that for K!"
"Well for laughing at me earlier asshole"
I said expecting at least an apology from him but when I turned my head I saw the motherfucker was holding back another laugh.

I can't with him I swear.

After a few seconds he burst out laughing again and that was it for me. I took my duffel bag and started heading to the field, soon after I felt his presence behind me.

He put his arm around my shoulder squeezing it a little, I raised my head to look at him and I was met with one of his smiles.

"I'm sorry for laughing but that was an ass of an excuse and you know that. Forgive me?"
He said.

I just shrugged and he squeezed the life outta me in one of his bone-crashing hugs that I did not reciprocate.
It's not cause I didn't want to, but I can no longer have physical contact with other people without feeling a painful tightness in my chest so I moved away from him and the pained expression on his face didn't go unnoticed.

Why are you like this Kyla?
Why do you keep disappointing people around you?

He tried to mask his hurt expression with a tight smile but I could see through it.

"Sorry"

I mumbled shifting my gaze to the ground, I no longer had the courage or strength to look at people's pained expressions when I am the cause of it.

Axel is a great guy and friend.

He has known me for a long time and has never once forced me to talk about my past knowing how much the subject made me uncomfortable and I appreciate him for this.

A lot.

When our run ended we headed to the captain's office chatting here and there, more him though.
