"Your dead" (chapter 18)

A/n - this is shorter than my usual chapters but enjoy :)

You stood sweaty , hot and heaving as you stood in front of ghost , the sweat running from your body causing your shirt to cling to you.
"Give her a break L.T , you've been here for four hours."
Soaps Scottish  voice came from behind as he entered the training room to see you drenched in sweat and struggling to catch your breath.
"This bitch hasn't shown me one thing , the only thing he's doing is handing my ass to me."
You huffed out as you turned to look at soap.

"Well this "bitch" isn't gonna stop until you find a bloody new tactic to put me on my ass."
Ghosts voice was loud and firm as it boomed throughout the training room causing your eyes to narrow. You were frustrated. You didn't have much fighting skill and going up against a 6,6 military man such as him wasn't ideal. He hasn't shown you anything yet and you weren't one to back down though so you got into a fighting stance again and ghost followed in suit waiting for you.

Soap smirked at your determination and he leaned against the wall wanting to see how this would play out. You gave a glare before raising your leg , kicking ghost quickly in the groin harshly causing him to let off a pained groan and string of curses as he dropped to his knees. Soaps eyes widened and he held a wide grin as he looked at you. Your eyes flickered between soap and ghost and you put you full attention on ghost and you held a glare as you did so.

"Your dead , bitch."
You mocked ghosts words as he was still on the floor in pain.
"I said use a different bloody tactic not kick me in my groin."
Ghost rasped out as he stood up and looked down at you.
" she technically did take you down LT."
Soap countered, causing ghost to let off a deep sigh.

"Alright you did what you needed to do , go shower and eat. I will show you some things after."
Ghost sighed and walked off.

You did it.

amidst the relief, frustration lingers. You know you could have performed even better, pushed yourself harder. Yet, this mix of emotions fuels your determination to continue growing and improving. You want to keep pushing , your motivation is to continue and be better. You want to show graves that you can be the best of the best but another thing is that you wonder when he will come back.

You hope he will come back soon but for now you must get alone with the others on 141.
An hour passes and you get out of the shower and get dressed in your room. The silence filled the air and the tension was gone , as the quietness filled the air your mind did the same. Your thoughts wandered to ghost. You wondered his real name , and why he hid so much. You didn't have much to say because you were the same in a way.

You sighed and put on a hoodie that you found in the closet in your room and it was extremely oversized with large white wording on the back that said '141 trainee'. You slipped that on and felt comfortable but your muscles and joints were still sore from earlier extreme sparring sessions.
There wasn't much to do but sit around and wait to see what happens so you just headed to the rec room and you looked around to find soap sitting in there eating something.

You walked in and soap looked up from what he was doing and he gave you a grin.
"Task failed successfully I see ?"
He referenced what had happened earlier and you gave a nod.
'' he asked for it.''
You shrugged and soap chuckled.
'' yknow you should be in school instead of a military base yknow.''
Soap said and your eyes narrowed.
"If I wanted to go to prison I would've stabbed someone."
You say bluntly getting a chuckle out of soap before seeing ghost walk into the room.

You both turned to see ghost in his usual attire and he looked down at you.
"Same time tomorrow, don't make me have to wake your ass up."
Ghost glared before leaving the rec room without another word. You watched as he walked off and you looked at soap.
" What's his deal? Is he always a Asshole ?"
You asked confused as you were still confused about ghosts exterior. Ghost may have been a soldier but this was more than some tough soldier act.

"He's had it rough , he'll warm up so you don't worry."
Soap reassured you and you nodded.
You looked at the clock on the wall and it sighed.
You felt a bit nervous. You wanted graves to come back but there was no word from him or price. There was no information or order. It left you feeling odd. You wondered if Rex was still at base or if he got deployed. You shook off your thoughts and you decided to go figure out and do some things such as  walk around base later in the day but for now you had nothing to do but wait.

Blood is thicker then water and one's clear as day but one clouded with judgment leaves others to stay away.
