"I'm gonna say something," Bull mutters from my left side.
"To who?" asks George, glancing at me with a slight smirk on his lips.
Looking over at us Bull sighed before calling over the person that I didn't really don't want to see, "Lieutenant Winters,"
"What is it?"
"Permission to speak Sir."
"Permission granted," I hear Winters reply from the front of the company.
"Sir We've got nine company's, Sir."
"We do," Winters replies.
"Well how come we're the only company marching every Friday night, twelve miles, full pack, in the pitch dark?"
"Why do you think, Private Randleman?"
"Lieutenant Sobel hates us Sir!" Bull states making me stifle a laugh. It's not just us, Sobel hates everybody.
I hear a slight pause before Winters replies, "Lieutenant Sobel Doesn't hate Easy Company Private Randleman, he just hates you!" He says moving backwards in the process so he's now next to Bull. Our eyes meet for a moment sapphire blue clashing with green for a millisecond before I avert my eyes. I'm still uneasy around him ever since he asked me the question about Sobel.
"Thank you Sir," Bull says, sarcastically over the company's laughs while I try and stifle me giggle.
"Hey there Ashley," I hear the drawl call to me across the barracks that can only belong to one person
"Bill," I greet him while patting his cot that's right next to mine. H instead he comes and sits next to me on my cot.
"How ya doing," he asks placing his arm around me, crushing me into his body.
"I'm doing alright Bill, How you doing?" I ask him hugging him back.
"I'm doing alright now that I'm talking to you Ash."
"Aw Bill, a man after my heart," I say, nudging him in the ribs.
"Any guy would be lucky to have a girl like you," Bill says, reminding me of how a good of a friend he's been since we've got here, he didn't judge me like just some girl, like some of the men did at first.
"I heard you talking to Winters talking the other day ," Bill states before I even have a chance to reply, frozen I turn to look at Bill who's looking straight at me.
"Yeah, so what?" I say defensively.
"Well he's right ya know, he's not that only on that's noticed Sobel's wandering eyes. Ashlynn all I'm tryna say is that the Lieutenant is trying to help you," he says gripping my shoulders.
"Yeah well I don't need nobody's help," I say trying to shrug out of his grip, but he just won't let go.
"Everybody needs help sometimes Ashly, and it's okay to ask and accept it, nobody that matters here is going to judge you or treat you any different,"Bill says giving my shoulder one last side hug before stalking to his cot. "Hey Ash?"
"Yeah," I answer.
"Can you sing for me?"
"Sure," I say with a smile on my lips. I take my guitar out and sing the first song that comes to mind. My sister wrote it for me before I left.
Da, da,

Shipwreck in a sea of faces
There's a dreamy world up there
Dear friends in higher places
Carry me away from here
Travel light, let the sun eclipse you
'Cause your flight is about to leave
And there's more to this brave adventure
Than you'd ever believe
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)
Da, da,
da, da,
da, da, da, da, da, da, daaaa
On the heels of war and wonder
There's a stormy world up there
You can't whisper above the thunder
But you can fly anywhere
Purple burst of paper birds
This picture paints a thousand words
So take a breath of myth and mystery
And don't look back
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky (you take to the sky)
There's a realm above the trees
Where the lost are finally found
Touch your feathers to the breeze
And leave the ground
Birds-eye view, awake the stars 'cause they're all around you
Wide eyes will always brighten the blue
Chase your dreams, and remember me, sweet bravery
'Cause after all those wings will take you, up so high
So bid the forest floor goodbye as you race the wind
And take to the sky
(You take to the sky) [x2]
When I look back at Bill I see that he's fast asleep. When I look around the room I see George looking at me smiling along with Jo. I smile back at them and get up to go to the showers.
"Sargent Lovato," a voice I hate says, stopping me in my tracks.
"Yes Sir?" I ask turning to him trying to ignore his wondering eyes.
"Where are you going?" He asks.
"To the showers Sir," I say. Where else would I be going this late at night.
"Okay Lovato, carry on," he says before stalking off. What a strange man.
