fierce and forgiving:second chances

chapter 22

      After the blast of her whistle we dispersed everywhere looking for water with water bottles in our hands and I just felt lost and tired,mostly tired tho but I continued my search for water around the other cabins which we didn't occupy and lo and behold I saw a tap behind the cabin,but the thing was that I had to pump a lever for water to come out,I was really working my arm muscles and I just wanted this whole experience to end and sooner or later sunshine was going to release us,it was more of the latter part tho.
     The rest of the day went bye fast and I wasn't more glad in my life to welcome the night so I can sleep,I didn't talk much,I mean no one did,everyone was really exhausted today so we all went to sweet bliss peacefully.
       I was awaken the first morning by chirping birds and I noticed it was almost 6,Alexia was probably in the bathing stall seeing how her bes is empty,I wonder how she does it,I mean waking up early by oneself isn't a delight,neither is it easy. I cleaned up and headed out,the field started filling up with zombie like people who looked and moved like I did,those were my camp mates all still stressed and probably sore from yesterday,I knew I was tho.
    We finished our usual good morning this morning greeting and surprisingly it was in unison, I guess in our zombie like state we didn't want to bargain for extra drills.
"Looks like the moon sucked life out of you all" she said chuckling and thankfully not shouting and we just stared at her

"Okay jog round the camp once then assemble to the obstacle you all used the first day for warm ups" she said and blew her whistle and we began jogging,in what seemed like forever we were done and now standing behind our obstacle,well me and Alexia stayed at both ends so it would be easier.
    At the blast of miss Commander lady's whistle I ran towards the barely climbed and jumped down,roll the barrel with my feet to the marked spot and crawled into the tires and out,running then jumping over an obstacle and I was done,well for now. Alexia did the same things I did and when she was done we high fived feeling pleased with ourselves.
    I was taking another turn running towards the barrel but my landing was were it all went wrong,instead of landing on both foot,I landed on my left instead making it hurt a lot after the landing,Alexia rushed to my side noticing my difficulty standing up.

"Are you okay beth" Alexia said totally worried

"Yea am fine,go on with the drill" I said trying to get up but to no avail

"How do you expect me to leave you without feeling guilt,beth when I said I used my heart less the other night doesn't mean I don't use it at all" she said seriously but I giggled
    It was funny how two days ago she would probably do a victory dance at my fall and stalk off leaving my whincing in pain but she cared,she really did. Shortly after sunshine came to where Alexia was helping me up

"What's going on here" sunshine demanded

"She sprained her ankle ma" Alexia answered for me

"And your her partner?" Sunshine inquired

"Yes ma" Alexia replied

"You are both off any boot camp activity till her leg heals up" she said waltzing off

"But why,I didn't sprain mine" Alexia said before she could go far

"Once a team member is down the rest are down,now take her to Mrs Carmen to get her ankle checked" sunshine said waling off
      My ankle was wrapped up in band aid and I was given asprins for the pain,Alexia and I retired to the cabin cleaning up and changing into a mini floral dress

"Thanks for helping me earlier" I said looking at Alexia

"No,I should be thanking you for getting me outta those horrible drills" she said smiling
