Chapter 6: 5 - denial

Boot camp (BXB)Words: 7630

"That was two Aiden!" Cade yelled at me to do 10 more pushups. My arms were getting weak at this point.

After 5o more push-ups we had to run through tires across the field again.

I wasn't even the mood to be funny today, since I didn't get enough sleep. Yes the couple who munching on each other from all last night caused this.

"Blair, that's 1 push-up!" He puts his attention finally to someone else. My eyes suddenly focus on his shirt which was blowing, revealing his abs.

My cheeks immediately turned red. I cursed under my breath, shaking my head to focus back on my position until I heard a giggle.

Blair saw what I did, but I chose to ignore her immaturity. "AIDEN FOCUS" This time Cade really yelled at me, my push up started to increase faster.

"What's wrong with him today" Adam struggled to keep up, leading to another recruit stepping on both of our fingers.

That hurt like a bitch.

"Keep whining or that's 10 laps added" A woman with ginger hair, stands in front of us. She looks at Cade, thinking she got his attention but she didn't.

She took her foot off our fingers, glaring at us as she went back to her other campers. The training took about 5 hours until everyone was tired and exhausted.

"Cade was on your ass today" Blair slapped my back and I groaned in response. It was like something alerted him from the inside.

"Yeah, I guess the new camper role is gone?" Britney patted my head to cheer me up. And Adam is just Adam "finally!" He dramatically said.

"You know we can buy something from the shop?!" Britney squealed, seeing she could finally leave this camp. "Buy me a snack for me?" I said, already leaving her.

Something strange happened just a while ago. A exchange was happening in front of everyone, but no one cared. I tried to take a step forward but a hand stopped me.

"Shouldn't you be off the lunch?" Mia raised her eyebrow. She saw me staring at them and quickly dismissed it "Their the ones who deliver the food to us" her hands were on back, moving me away from them.

Yeah I don't believe that one bit.

"Aiden" Blair called out for me. Her hands were wrapped around my arms, pulling me to her group?

"So this is Aiden" a random person asked. Kyle was just staring at our arms the whole time.

"That's me" I took a seat on the bench then the talking begins.

---

"Alright I think I'm heading to sleep" I yawned, already slipping away from them. Byes were said as more campers started to head into their cabs.

A figure was walking, shouting to some campers to head back into their cabs. It was Cade. Crazy part is that he saw me and quickly turned his head somewhere else.

"This is where the denial part comes in" Blair made a pouty face at me and walked away.

She has no idea what she's talking about.

Kyle brushed my shoulders without looking at me. On the other hand Adam is decent enough to wave goodbye as he went into his cab.

---

The alarm went off for about 3 mins then everything was silence. No kissing or moving around.

I heard the recruits were planning to hang out somewhere near the cabin. So it was my mission to sneak out and figure this drug problem.

I threw on a black hoodie along with black sweatpants. No one now's this but the general gave me a phone to snap some pic and send it to him.

"Where are you going" Blair whispered, pulling off the blanket that was over her.

"You weren't sleeping this whole time?" I quickly hid the phone but she saw it.

"I mean who does" she started to get dress in black which left me confused "Am going with you" she said, grabbing a glasses and already out the door.

Kyle groans and Blair grabbed me outside, locking the door quietly. "So where are we going" she started to skip while giggling.

Oh god.

"Just follow me quietly" she pouted at my seriousness and yet she still complied.

After 10 mins of walking, a bunch of chatters and laughers were heard.

Blair and I laid on the grass, she grabbed my phone zooming in on them. She has no clue why am I doing this.

Thankfully a big tree covered us while we spied at the people in uniforms. "If we get caught, we're both going to prison" I told Blair.

"Well if I didn't know I would still be in my bed peacefully sleeping?" Her eyes rolled at my dumbness.

"Just shut up" I mumbled, paying my attention back to the recruits.

I spotted Cade sitting alone while listening in to others chatters. The ginger hair lady tried to touch him, but his eyes said something else.

"You know he's never been with someone" Blair said out of the blue. Doubts kept coming, thinking 'what if he had someone in mind, but he couldn't be with her'

I shush because something happened was now happening, jack, Mia and some other recruits excused themselves while the others didn't pay any mind to it.

Cade tensed up, seeing something is going on.

"Oh shit, I think it's happening" Blair sets up the camera as she spotted Mia getting handed with a black bag.

Yes I filled her in with my spy stuff.

"Do you think Cade knows?" Blair asked as she made her comfortable. I did think about this, but I knew he wouldn't do dumb shit like this.

"No" I said straight up. Blair nodded and payed her attention back to them.

"Just hurry and take the picture before they pack up" Blair nodded. We both felt excited , seeing its we get our strikes erased.

Well mine is getting erased.

The moment she clicked the button.... The flash turned on. We didn't utter a word or breathed.

"Are you shitting me" I whispered, taking more pics. The more pic I took the more flashes they saw.

The pics were important to me anyone.

"Now we run" we both grabbed our stuff and bolted out of there. We sprinted down the hill as yelling were heard.

One yell made me turned my head towards it. Cade ran down the hill with a gun?!

I tripped on a rock, fumbling down with Blair. "We're so going to die!" She shouted at me. A bullet flew past me and my heart stopped.

Why the fuck is he shooting.

"Fuck, run" I grabbed her quickly and we ran fast through a trail. "I don't want to die" Blair whimpered.

I told your ass to stay in bed.

"He probably thinks we're a thief" Blair rolled her eyes. "I don't care what he thinks if we're going to die!"

---

We both reached the camp, but the yelling didn't stop there. Literally alarms were alerting the place.

"Open the door quickly!" Blair struggled with the key and dropped it. Suddenly the door was wide opened up, revealing an angry and tired Kyle.

He dragged us both in and quickly locked it. "What the fuck did you guys do" this wasn't the time to argue with him.

I quickly changed into my pjs.

"Everyone out!" Mia opened the door wide, rushing us out. The other recruits were doing the same things to the other campers.

---

"So I been informed 2 person had sneaked out last night" the general walk left and right, glaring at everyone.

"Who was it" no one said nothing, which made me laugh. Jack walked up to me, grabbing the back of my next.

"You think this is a joking matter" his hands tighten.

"N-no" I started choke as he let go of me. "Ok" the general signal them to search to us.

Since Cade has been looking at me for the past hour, of course he chose me. His hands reached my back pocket then my patted me down to the foot.

Please don't get hard.

Then His hands were on my cheek, examining the cut I had on my face. "Did I do this" he asked, using his thumbs to wipe off the blood.

"Y-you didn't know" my words chocked as I saw the worried look on his face. I just needed to hug him right here right now.

Weird he didn't question why I was outside.

"He's clear" Blair eyes widened, her mouth moved saying the word "he definitely likes you" she whispered.

She's just imagining stuff.

That's all.
