CHAPTER 2
"Whatever Bird" Dutchy said unimpressed
"What are we going to be doing?" 2DADS asked
"Defence training" Dutchy said
"great" Bird whispered to Spider
"You'll you be fine" Spider whispered back
"Got something to say Bird & Spider?" Dutchy shouted
"No" Bird said quietly
"No" Spider said
"Will do weapon firing first" Dutchy said getting out the guns
Bird and Lacie walked up to take the gun out of Dutchy's hands
"uh. I'd prefer not to Dutchy" Bird said
"I don't care if you don't want to Bird. You have to" Dutchy said
"Does she ever do anything" Lacie whispered into 2DADS ear
"You'll be fine Bird" Spider said
Lacie and Bird both took their turns firing, Bird was terrible at it. Dutchy ordered her to stop before she seriously hurt someone
"Sorry Dutchy" Bird said
"You get so worked up. You don't even try properly. Just go sit down" Dutchy said unimpressed
"I told you, everyone hates me" Bird said to Spider
"Dutchy's just worried" Spider said
"Yeah. I'm sure he is" Bird said sarcastically
"I want to practice some defence tactics, one by one you'll come up as if I'm going to attack you, I'll show you what to do" Dutchy said
"Lacie, you first" Dutchy said
"Okay, what do you want me to do" Lacie asked
"I want you to come for me" Dutchy said
"Okay.." Lacie said
Lacie walked up to Dutchy, and Dutchy grabbed her and Lacie responded accurately
When Bird walked up to Dutchy and he grabbed her, she did the wrong thing and fell on the floor
Lacie laughed
"Shut up" Spider said
"Get up Bird" Dutchy ordered
rubbing her shoulder "Sorry Dutchy"
"You know what Bird, you don't even bother trying. You hate all this Navy violence, why don't you just quit. You can't even handle a little push" Dutchy said angered
Bird walked off
"Whoa. Calm down Dutchy" Spider said
"No Spider. She needs to be told" Dutchy said
"Yeah, she can be told but not yelled at, in front of everyone" Spider said
"So what happens one day when she can't defend herself?" Dutchy said
"I'll protect her" Spider said
"see, know she just runs off" Lacie said
"Leave her alone Lacie" Spider said walking off to find Bird
"Have you guys seen where Birds gone?" Spider asked Buffer, Kate, Charge & Swain
"No sorry Spider. Isn't she out there with you and the rest of the crew" Swain said
"Uh. No. There was an incident between her and Dutchy" Spider said worried
"What sort of incident?" Kate asked
"Uh. Dutchy snapped at Bird, she's been quite upset lately "Spider said
"Yeah, I noticed. Is she okay?" Swain asked
"I think she will be, I just need to find her" Spider said
Spider walked off and headed for the galley, he thought she might be in there starting lunch, he opened the door and didn't see her, he went and searched the corridors and went to her cabin. She must be in here he thought to him self. He knocked on the door
"Bird?" Spider said
"Who is it?" Bird said
"It's me Spider. Can I come in please?" Spider asked
"The doors unlocked" Bird said
Spider walked in and saw that Bird had packed up all her stuff and had bags lying on her rack "Bird, what's all this?" Spider asked
"Dutchy wants me out, so I'll go. He'll enjoy that, so will 2DADS and Lacie" Bird said putting her clothes in a bag
"Bird. Don't leave" Spider said
"Why not Spider! Everyone hates me, they don't want me here" Bird started to become upset
"That's not true" Spider said "Come on, I'll come help you make lunch" he said Putting his arm around her back
Spider helped Bird make lunch. It was 12:00pm when the crew came in
"Why are you in here?" Swain asked Spider
"Thought I'd give Bird a hand, she's always making the meals by herself" Spider said handing a plate to Swain
"That's nice" Swain said and took a seat
"Hey Bird. Can I have some pizza please" Dutchy asked
Bird ignored him and handed over the plate, not saying anything
"You got the grumpiess with me now Bird?" Dutchy scoffed
"Leave me alone Dutchy" Bird said
"Not my problem you can't hold a gun or defend yourself" Dutchy said
"You don't even treat me the same anymore Dutchy, you don't even know why I'm like that"
"BIRD!" 2DADS shouted
"what?" Bird said abruptly
"Told you she's still got the shits with me" 2DADS said turning to Lacie
Bird got both plates and slid them across the bench "There" she yelled
Meanwhile Spider served up the rest of the crews lunch, they all looked shocked when Bird slid the plate to 2DADS and Lacie, they had never seen Bird act that way before, she had never yelled at anyone like that before
"Everything okay Bird?" X asked
"I'm fine" Bird said placing food onto her plate
"You don't seem fine, what's going on?" X said
"Nothing" Bird said putting a small amount of food onto her plate
"Come on lets go sit down" Spider said
"You can, I don't feel welcome sitting there" Bird said grabbing a glass of water
"Bird. You need to talk to someone like the X or CO" Spider said
"You going to come sit down guys?" Swain asked
"No" Bird said walking off
"Bird!" Spider took off after her
"Bird!" Spider shouted "come back" he added
"Everything okay Spider?" Kate asked worried
"I wish I could say yes" Spider said "I need to find Bird" he added
"Why isn't she sitting down eating lunch?" X asked
"She doesn't feel she can" Spider said looking around
"What do you mean?" X said waving her hand around to get his attention
"Some of the crew aren't really being that nice to her" Spider said
"who?" X said unimpressed
"Dutchy, Lacie and 2DADS" Spider said
"I'll have a talk to them" Kate said
Spider went into Birds cabin, he found her on her rack crying, he had never seen her like this before, he had never seen Bird with so much sadness and anger
"Hey!" Spider said sitting onto her rack 'What's wrong" Spider said rubbing her back
"I can't do it anymore" Bird said wiping the tears from her face
Spider leant over and gave her a hug, he held her tight protected. He was sick of the guys treating her badly and wanted to put a stop to it. He whispered to her that he would be back, and went and found 2DADS and Dutchy. Bird was alone in her cabin, when she heard a knock on the door, she knew it wouldn't be Spider, so she remained quiet to make it seem as though she wasn't there.
"Bird, I know you're in there, and I know you don't want to speak to me, but can you open the door for me?" A familiar voice sounded through the cabin door
Bird walked up and went to open up her cabin door, she saw Dutchy standing at her doorway, she went to close the door straight away, but Dutchy was too fast and kept it open. She wiped the remaining tears of her face to make it seem like she wasn't crying. He asked if he could come in and speak to her, she accepted and allowed him in.
"Bird. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you; I'm just trying to protect you. I shouldn't have snapped at you earlier today" Dutchy said, then offering her a hug
"You hurt me" Bird said moving back and not accepting the hug "I didn't think that you ever would"
"I know Bird, I'm sorry" Dutchy said grabbing her arm and pulling her into his chest giving her a kiss on her forehead
"I'm over it Dutchy. I'm leaving the navy" Bird said looking towards her packed bags
