Chapter 3: Saving Grace
Commander Cruger stood right behind us. I told him most of what happened. The part I left out was that with Alexis in it. Commander Cruger went to leave, but turned to me.
"Oh and I found you by the Alexis door waiting for her. The younger you" he said. I laughed. I remembered that I used to do that a lot and when she came out, I pretended that I was looking at something else. After we were done talking, I decided to find my younger self.
"Hey Sam" he said as I walked into my room. I waved.
"Um, can I give you a bit of advice" I asked.
"Sure, I'd love that" he replied. He bent down closer to him.
"Tell Alexis that you love her now" I advised. He looked up at me confused. He shook his head.
"No way, I'd embarrass myself" he said.
"I already made that mistake once" I reminded him. I rolled his eyes and sighed. He got up and exited the room. I followed in my light beam form. I-my younger self-knocked on Alexis' door. She came out. His eyes widened at her. I knew that he thought that she looked beautiful.
"Hey Sam" she said.
"H-hey" he said hesitantly. She smiled her captivating smile. The smile which made you feel like you were in heaven.
"You wanted to tell me something" she asked. He nodded his head and walked closer to her. He kissed her on the lips. I smiled. She wrapped her arms around his neck. Commander Cruger walked down the hallway.
"Cadets! What have I told you about showing affection publicly" Cruger asked in his booming voice. They pulled apart and blushed. I had to laugh.
"Sorry" they both apologized. He left and Alexis looked my way, but she didn't see me.
"What's wrong Alexis" my younger self asked. She smiled.
"It's Lexi now Sam" she said "And nothing is wrong".
"You go kid" I silently told Sam. Lexi took Sam's hand and guided them into the rec center where the other kids their age were. Soon, I heard screams from girls and knew what Lexi had told them. Sam came out of the room alone and walked straight up to me.
"Can I say one thing" he asked trying to wrap an arm around me. I rolled my eyes beneath my helmet.
"Yeah" I replied.
"Thanks" he said graciously. How could I not help him? After all, he is me as a little kid.
"No problem" I responded.
"You know, Lexi is my saving grace" he said. I slung my arm around him and I gave a chuckle. I reassured him that I knew.
Done! Please R&R!
