Ghost

Chapter Five

you woke up in a cold sweat, standing up to calm yourself down.

"its just a dream (y/n), just a dream. . ." you mumbled to yourself.

you felt a cool breeze against your back, you didnt even have to look to know he was here.

"hey. ." you sighed sitting back down on your bed.

fuck, it felt like your body was on fire.

its not like you were a stranger to pain, you had a history of depression and anxiety and often tried to end it all.

when you couldnt however, you resorted to methods of self harm.

whether that be cutting yourself or intentionally getting hurt, there was always a way to alleviate your pain in some way.

you were too scared to tell anyone about your depression, or your unhealthy coping habits, so you wore as much clothing as possible to hide your scars.

all that aside, this pain was different.

it was like your skin was melting off, it was burning.

"are you okay love? you look like youre in pain" he asked, shifting himself so that he was leaning on his elbow, facing you.

"y-yeah. im fine" you laid down, putting your back against him.

this couldve backfired- but you really didnt care.

you just wanted affection.

he put his hands on your stomach, moving them up to your ribs to pull you close to him.

"fuck-" you whimpered, remembering how badly your body hurt after bumping into that asshole earlier today.

he flinched, immediately retracting his arms from you.

he turned you onto your back and slightly lifted your shirt up.

"y-youre covered in bruises. . ." he finally said after a few minutes of silence.

"its okay, i just ran into some asshole today. ill be fine-" you were stopped by a wave of pain shooting through your entire body as you tried readjusting yourself.

"i- i promise" you weakly smiled, continuing to readjust.

"stay here, ill be right back. promise." he said as he got up and walked out of your bedroom.

you lay there for a minute, and soon enough he came back with some painkillers and bandages.

"lift your shirt up" he said, sitting on the edge of your bed.

you did as he said, and after he bandaged your wounds you took the painkillers you laid back down next to him.

"goodnight" you told him, snuggling back into him.

~morning~

waking up, you expected to see ghostface, and to be honest with yourself, you hoped he would be there.

he wasnt.

you sat up, the pain a bit sunsided by now, thanks to the painkillers, and looked around.

you heard Billy and Stu downstairs, most likely watching the Exorcist- Billy's favourite movie.

you stood up and limped down the stairs, trying to avoid too much movement- the more you moved the more you hurt.

Billy looked back to you and rushed over to help, picking you up like a baby and cradling you close to his chest.

"(y/n). . .what happened. .?" he asked, putting his head against yours.

"i- im fine, i just ran into some asshole yesterday. he got mad and so we got into a fight. i think you can tell who won" you laughed a bit, but this was a sad laugh, not a happy one.

Stu got up and ran over to where Billy was holding you, taking you from him.

he kissed you on the forehead and laughed, when you and Billy looked confused he decided to clarify.

"well, i was just- you remind me so much of my sister" he said as he stopped laughing.

"sister?" you and Billy asked in sync.

"yeah, she uh- she killed herself, last year. its funny to me because i keep making friends that remind me of her, or she would make friends with" he smiled at the happy memories of her.

"oh- im- im so sorry- i had no idea-" you stuttered out, but he cut you off with a quick kiss.

"no need to be sorry, shes happier now. wherever she is" he said, pressing his forehead against yours.

"SHIT" you yelled, hopping out of Stu's arms.

you ran upstairs, ignoring the pain.

you got dressed in your uniform as quickly as you could and ran back downstairs.

"ill be back later guys, love you both!" you shouted to them from the front door, getting your bike to ride to the video store.

as you finally arrive, you hop off your bike and jog into the video store.

"(y/n)! i havent seen you since Friday!" Randy picked you up and spun the two of you around in circles.

"yeah. . .sorry about that, ive been hanging out with. . .someone" you said, hugging him.

"oooo (y/n)'s got a partner?" he mocked you as he walked behind the counter.

"two, actually" you smiled thinking of the two dickheads.

"oh. are you cheating?" Randy asked, a puzzled look on his face.

"no, dumbass. its called being polyamorous" you rolled your eyes.

"ohhh. so youre gay?" he asked again.

"dont be a dick Randy" you said, flicking him on the forehead.

"sorry, sorry" he threw his hands up in defense, taking the cart to restock the movies.

after your shift you walked home, greeted by Stu making some Jiffy Pop.

"hey baby" he said as he peeked his head towards the front door.

"hey!" you chirped back, walking into the kitchen.

you made yourself a sandwich and sat at the counter, humming to yourself contently.

"hey babe, we should go out on like- an official date tonight" Stu said as he sat down next to you.

"yeah that sounds fun!!" you finished your sandwich, standing up and putting your dishes away.

~later that night~

"hey you coming baby?" Stu called up the stairs, you two were supposed to leave about 10 minutes ago.

"yeah im coming!" you yelled back, looking in the mirror and making sure you looked good.

you walked down the stairs and Stu's jaw visibly dropped.

"HOLY SHIT BAE YOU ARE SO FUCKING BEAUTIFUL" he said, walking over to you and picking you up, setting you on his shoulder.

"OFF WE GO" you shouted, and he carried you out to his car.
