Boot camp (BXB)Words: 5172

"What did you do?!" Blair pestered me for about a hour. It's been a week since our interaction at the cabin.

Worries and doubts keeps getting into my head. 1st because of Riley 2nd because of its uncle and 3rd my mom.

Sad part, 4 more days till the last day of Bootcamp, everyone's hype but not me for a reason.

"Nothing" Blair groaned but she already knew my answer. We made our way into the cafeteria and sat down.

"I can't wait to taste coffee again" Britney almost started to tear up. We all laughed at her dramatic personality.

But Aiden doesn't know that laugh and smile will be wipe off completely.

A recruit touched my back, alerting me to stand up. She had a sadden look on her face.

Since everyone started to look, she guided me outside where the general was here too.

"Aiden..." he handed me phone and the id said mom?. On the other end there was crying and sobbing.

My heart started to beat faster, seeing it was a serious situation. I took the phone from the general and held phone up to my ear.

"Mom?" I said in concern. "Aiden.. your dad" my eyes widen and I knew what she was going to say.

Maybe he's back from the hospital. Think positive Aiden.

"He's dead" everything completely went dark, I turned away from all the campers and hang the phone up.

I gave the general back the phone and walked empty less to somewhere. Tear were started to fall and I was about to bail right here and now.

"What happen?" We all tried to listen to the camper who heard the whole thing.

"I heard someone died" someone laughed and before I could slap them Kyle did it for me.

"That's really bad" really bad since it's only 4 days he had to return and endure everything again.

"It's sad, he had everything going well" I groan in my hands and Kyle rubbed my legs to calm me down.

This is why I love him.

I sighed, scanning the cafeteria for Cade.

From the position where I am seating, Cade worried face was seen and I could also see him trying to leave but he couldn't because it could cause suspicious.

His eyes moved to mine and I knew what he's was gonna to ask.

I was in deciding whether or not to pack my stuff and leave without looking back at this camp. It's hard to choose because of my friends and especially Cade.

The door opened, showing Blair. Before I could say anything she hugged me and I cried on her shoulders.

"If you need to leave, no one's stopping you" she smiled an assuring one.

"What about Cade" she shook her head "Talk to him first" she hugged me for the last time before leaving.

This has to be the worst day.

I will just sleep it out for the mean time.

"Aiden!" Cade catch up to me as I was dragging my suitcase on the floor. It's was night, meaning I don't have to endure the faces and stares.

Cade dragged me behind an empty cabin while holding his breath "I promise to come find you" He said, sounding serious.

"How?" I asked in amusement. His face were red for revealing his secret "I know where you live"

Well isn't that just creepy.

"go before they left you" his lips touches mine and we settled for a long kiss.

I nodded, grabbing my suitcase and leaving him behind. My heart ached just from that feeling.

Even though I hated Jack. He's the reason why we were still here, so imma regret this but thank you.

Cades black figured started to walk to his room with his head down. I looked back to where my mom was here, calling out for me.

I miss her so much.

---

It's been 4 and those 4 days were hell, I had to attend funeral and helped my mom get back up which she did.

It's hell.

But thankfully she gets back up. Still was worrying when she started back to drink. She made us a promise not to do it but sadly she broke it.

Right now I was waiting for Cade. I was a nervous mess , thinking he will leave me and go back Riley.

I hope not.

The door bell rang and my eyes lit up. I quickly opened not wanting the neighbors to snitch on me to my mom.

Before I could greet him, his lips were on mine. We took a few steps back as he started to deepen the kiss. Cade closed the door while flopping me on the couch.

"Those 4 days were hell" he said, lowering his voice. I kissed him again then started to lower him onto to me.

---

"I can't believe he died?!" Cade groaned, looking down at me. Yes I was on his lap while eating some popcorn.

The moment Cade stepped in, he's been nothing more than helpful and comforting. Which is the way I adored him even more than ever.

I never expect him out of all people to be the who's gay. But who cares, clearly Riley.

I saw a car headlights pulling in the drive away. My eyes widened, knowing it was mom.

The door opened widely and I quickly took my head of his lap. Mom was standing there with grocery's bad in her head.

"Is this your boyfriend! what is his name?" She drop all her bags and took shook his hand.

Boyfriend?

"Yes I am his boyfriend" I started to blush but thank god it was dark in here. "Aren't you a handsome young man" I laughed at the young.

"When were we together" I asked when she finally left. Cade looked me straight in the eyes "Since the moment I kissed you"

"Aiden! You never told me his name." Everything was happening so fast. It's like he didn't care at all.

"Mom this is Cad-"
