Bring it on Bitch

Physical exercise, I stood there and saw there were four majors. I was standing in line when I heard a voice next to me, "how are you doing shaky are you back, better watch out that you will not go down again". He smirked at me, "Kowalski" major Stefan called "move your ass, end of the row". He grinned and moved to the end of the line. "We are going to split the group in half" major Frank said "one group comes with me and major Stefan to the obstacle course, the other group stays here with major Damon and major John we swop in 45 minutes" understood, "Sir yes sir". I luckily wasn't in a group with Kowalski and his buddies. So I did the obstacle course first it went ok I guess I was the fastest girl but if I was fully recovered I was faster I did it three times and was pretty exhausted afterwards.

When we came back to the field major Damon explained we had to run 10 laps do 100 pushups, 100 sit ups and 100 squads the time we got for that was 30 minutes those who failed had to stay longer, and got punishment training. I knew that it was going to be hard and that not everyone would make it in time. I first ran 5 laps and did all the sit ups with 50 pushups and 50 squads then I ran further and did 50 squads I had one minute left and 50 pushups. So I finished it with three seconds spare. Afterwards I was broken I stood there completely shaken and walked to a tree where I seated myself to watch the spare 15 minutes punishment of the others ten from the twenty-five who did not make it. So I was pretty proud of myself that I made it in my condition.

While I was catching my breath, breathing heavy and closing my eyes while leaning against the tree I heard a voice in the passing, "you did well cadet" it said. I nodded with my eyes still closed. I remained sitting there before standing up a bit shaking. And of course while I was shaking there came my good bud Kowalski. "Hey shaky" he honed at me "watch it before you fall over again". "Kowalski move your ass or I'll give you fifty pushups" major Stefan said to him "alright" he said. "better take a look at princess shaky before she faints again". "Yeah that's it give me fifty" he sighed Kowalski groaned but dropped and did the pushups "now leave" major Stefan said. "Your alright" he asked me. "Yeah" I said. "You're still not recovered from the exercise while it was fifteen minutes ago?", "I'm working on it sir, It'll be ok promise". "Alright then please go inside now we'll have dinner in about well right now". "Ok" I said while I walked all shaky. After dinner I would crash in my bed.

Major Stefan's POV:
"Hey bro" I said while he sat on the couch of our room, "how is that cadet of yours doing" I asked him. "Why" he asked, "well I had to send away that Kowalski kid from her again". "She was all shaky fifteen minutes after the exercise and could barely walk". "Well" my brother answered "although she will never admit it she is pretty sick". "That condition is serious". "She opened up a bit more she tries to talk about her feelings but that is very hard for her". "I'm very proud of her progress the last few days". "And about Kowalski, she promised not to seek him up but he comes for her every time and she will fight him if she needs to, so we have to keep those two away from each other".

Then my father came in, "hey boys" he said he was carrying a tube. "I hate to ask this again" he said "but you know what to do with this" he gave it to my brother "I know dad" he said. He took it to the bathroom and came back later with his urine in the tube. Although my brother was clean for over a year now my father still gave him irregular urine controls. "Thank you" my father said while my brother gave the sample to him.

It was almost four years ago when my brother lost everything he had. His wife and ten month old son Gavin died in a car crash and he fell in a black hole. He started to use drugs and it went pretty ugly. But I was so proud of him how he handled everything afterwards he fought back and he won. "You know I'm extremely proud of you" my father said to my brother "I know dad" Damon said before he hugged him. My brother returned to the couch and I saw a tear escape his eye.

"Hey bro" I said while I hugged him, "it's just too much right now" he said. "I know you can be sad" I said, "I know it's just confronting with the test etcetera" he said. "And that kid I see myself sitting there in a dark place not wanting to talk I need to help her". "Yeah bro I know" I said "but your own health and recovery is important too". "I know" he replied "but I felt great when I helped her out the other day and she started to open up". "It was such a rewarding feeling". "Ok as long as you are careful" I answered.

My POV:
I was wrecked and went to bed I fell asleep around seven and awoke when the bell went on seven am that following day, after dinner I walked to my history class and heard a smeary comment behind me. "You and me before physical exercise begins", "yeah and then" I asked. "We fight", "bring it on" I laughed at him. So I made a strategy I would avoid his punches and wait till someone came or I could hit him back.

After class a circle was gathered and I found myself in the middle of it with Kowalski "are you ready for your payback" he asked grinning, "if you are ready" I smirked at him, He came at me with a punch I simply avoided it, is that all you got. Then everybody started to run away I say four majors running up to us and I saw I was already in big trouble so when he came at me again I became very angry I avoided the punch and gave him a round house kick in his stomach and settled him in a neck clam. I squeezed him a bit and he was struggling in my arms, "let him go" the majors screamed, I released him on the ground and pushed him away.

The majors arrived but I didn't feel like them getting on to me so while major Stefan, Damon checked Kowalski I was angry and everything went blank I ran away while major John, major Frank and now also major Stefan followed me. While major John caught me I yelled that he had to let me go and had to stop touching me. I freed myself out of the position and ran away again. Major Frank had taken Kowalski inside so also major Damon came on my pitch.

They stood gathered around me the three of them. "Calm down cadet" major Damon said, "go away, leave me alone" I yelled. "You have to calm down" major Stefan said while the three of them kept coming closer. "Don't touch me" I repeated. "Alright I'm going to tell what we are going to do", Major Damon said, "I'm going to take your arm and I will escort you inside if you struggle whatsoever there are three man that will hold you in control" he said.

I was about to protest but saw they really meant it and I knew I would never win, so I nodded defeated while he came closer. He grabbed my arm and I felt myself tight up I saw that major John came for my other arm, I was starting to freak but major Damon said, "don't she said to cooperate which she is still doing so only if I say so someone else touches her". The three of them kept silent while they put me in an holding cell and closed the door.

Major Damon's POV
Shit she got herself in trouble again and this time it was bad, we were going to ask the other cadets what happened and watch the surveillance tape. Then we would question the two cadets. "Well" the kids told "Kowalski wanted payback and said he would settle it this afternoon with her". "So he threw some punches at her which she dodged and then she got annoyed and angry and kicked him and confiscated him in a neck clam". "It went really fast". "But the girl is strong and quick she beat Kowalski's ass again".

Then Kowalski was asked to tell his side of the story he made one up, "she attacked me" was all he said, "can't you see I'm the victim here". "Alright Kowalski you are getting a nice talk with the boss and will spend three days in separation". "You only come out an hour a day for lonesome physical exercise". "Oh and you get an ad for lying cause you are the one who started it, as I am correct" I told him.
After his turn it would be Cadet Atwood's turn.

MY POV:
I was sitting in the waiting cell when major John came in "stand up" he said while he yanked on my arm I started to freak again, "go away, don't touch me let go of me, don't" I screamed. I backed off into the corner of the room. I calmed down when major Damon came in "ok relax" he said,
"go sit down again". I obeyed. "Alright major John is going to escort you by the arm and we are taking you to the interrogation room to ask you some questions about today's event alright". I still looked very horrified, worried and confused and sat back while major John came forward but I couldn't get further in my corner how hard I tried. When he was about to touch me and I was about to scream. Major Damon said, "Ok stop, I'll take you by the arm alright" I nodded and I felt more relax while he took me by the arm.

"Sit down" they said. "So now tell us everything that happened today". "Kowalski came at me after breakfast he provoked me and said: you and me before physical exercise I'll give you some payback". "So I went there and he threw some punches at me, I dodged them I was getting angry and annoyed, kicked him, confiscated him and then I let go of him". "What happened afterwards why did you flip at everyone including the majors", major Frank asked. I bend my head and didn't answer: honestly I didn't know what happened. "I don't know" I whispered.

"Well your punishment is: you will stay the same as Kowalski three days in separation". "You will only come out for physical exercise solo an hour a day and you are granted some books because you told the truth". "But you have to talk to someone about those panic attacks of yours I'll assign a shrink". "No, no please don't I'll talk to major Damon" I said. "But I don't know if I can say much". I saw him look at major Damon who nodded. "Alright then" he said. "Now major Stefan will take you to the separation cell, he will hold your arm while doing this, that is protocol" major Damon added.

I let major Stefan take me to the cell it was really small and I didn't like it. "You have to stop getting into trouble" he said to me. "Just ignore the guy", "trust me I would if it was a possibility, but he keeps coming back at me, he's perseverance". "Alright I'll get you some school books which do you prefer you can choose three:" "geography, history and biology". "So what's up with you and your little freak attacks you got when someone gets near". "You won't let anyone touch you no major John, no major Frank, I can barely touch you why is that". "The only one who seems to be able to touch you is my brother, why". "Because I trust him". "And maybe you too a bit but I don't know the others".

"So you should talk to someone anyone about the drugs, and the panic attacks the scars etcetera" . "I know but I don't know if I'm ready for that". "My brother says your doing really well he said you started to open up more". "But don't be afraid he didn't tell me what you said, that's between him and you". "He really wants to help you, he made it his goal". "So go easy on him too".

"Yeah" I said "he said he wanted to help me he said that he knew what it was to be in a dark place". "Yea he does" major Stefan answered. "So" I asked "why did he use drugs". "Who said he used drugs", "he said he showed me his arms they have the same needle wholes/scars that I have". "So why did he use". "Well that's not something I have to discuss with you cadet". "But if you want that answer maybe you should ask him, but I can't guarantee you that he is ready to answer you that question".
