Haunted (Ghost X OC)

Rory's POV

"You're lucky Bill loves you, and this Simon apparently" Tina barged into my room with a bottle of wine in one hand and our joint rolling box and makes herself comfortable on the end of my bed as i continued to burrow under the covers. My phone shook the covers as it rang for the 15th time that morning, Simon had been trying to reach me for a couple days but I was too overwhelmed to do anything let alone soothe his guilt for leaving for so long.
Tina was busy rolling a couple individual joints for us as I peaked my head out and patiently waited. We sat and smoked and sipped on the wine for a bit while she tried to persuade me to get out of the flat. My phone vibrating again made us both jump, the newly found smile quickly dropping from as I read Simons name on the caller id. Tina noticed and immediately jumped into protective best friend mode and picked up the phone "Simon?" IHer voice was strong and clear. I could hear a deep mumble on the other end of the line before she continued "yeah but I don't think she-" he cut her off causing her to dramatically roll her eyes making me giggle "oooo are they cute?" Her interest was suddenly peaked "Oki Oki! She's supposed to be taking me to this rave later, so we might stop by" she finished before hanging up the phone and throwing it back on the bed, "first things first.. his voice is so sexy like woah" she smirked as she pretended to fan herself.
I threw one of my pillows at her "what did he want?" I tried to get her back on track, "well apparently he's just so desperate to see you" she put a hand on her forehead and pretended to faint like a old Hollywood star "and there's some task forcy type people he wants you to meet" she smoked her joint and avoided my death glare. She was already forcing me to go to some shitty rave because she's talking to the dj, the last thing I wanna do is go see Simon and his military buddies.
I tried to explain my reasoning for not wanting to go but Tina was having none of it, "I don't get it! He seems hot and interested in you! Let's just go get a drink and maybe get me a fit military side piece Incase Sven turns out to be a dick" she teased, "Sven is defiantly a dick just gonna put that out there" I replied receiving a glare from Tina "I was in love with Simon for most of my life and he just left me, no calls no messages and now he thinks he can just turn up and everything will be back to normal? No! I won't let it" I finished,
"So you told him how you feel? Or I guess felt?"
"Well.. I wrote him a note"
"A note?"
"I was like 16 okay yes a note"
"You gave him a note...." Her voice trailed prying for more details
"Well I snuck it in one of his bags" I cringed a little
"Who are you Snooki and Jwoww???" Tina rolled her eyes, I just sighed heavily knowing I was gonna loose this battle. I finished my joint and stubbed it out putting the ashtray on my bedside table and stretching my arms "ugh what do I wear?" I admitted defeat much to Tina's delight, she ran to my wardrobe and suggested outfit after outfit that I would reject until she finally let me wear my back joggers and a cute little tank top.
By the time we finally agreed on something it was nearly time to head out so Tina disappeared and came back in a skin tight dress "Jesus Tina! Some of these guys might not have seen a woman in a while! You're gonna kill 'um" I joked as we got in the taxi.
Tina had gotten the address from Simon and as we got to the bar I started to recognise most of the buildings around it, mainly the small apartment building directly opposite that my father owned. One of his few legal ventures was buying and fixing up a few old and run down buildings which seemed selfless but it was really a cover for some of the illegal money he had coming in.
The bar itself was packed full of people but looking around it was easy to spot Simon and his friends, most of them were stupidly tall and large guys with powerful auras that could bring the whole to a stop with one wrong move. They all sat around a large round table drinking and laughing together, Simon sat silently amongst them sipping his pint and occasionally checking his phone.

Tina grabbed my hand and squeezed as she lead us through the crowds towards them, the second he saw us Simon shuffled in his seat awkwardly adjusting his balaclava with a slightly faded skull print before standing up to greet us "Rory" he nodded, it sounded weird coming out of his mouth since he was the one that came up with the nickname Lol and never called me anything else since.
He introduced us to the couple guys that weren't talking to other people, there was Captain Price who looked and acted like he was the dad of the group "nice to meet you ladies" he said with a warm smile, next was a shorter guy that Simon introduced as Soap which immediately peaked Tina's interest "soap?" She asked raising an eyebrow "that's not you're real name right?" She squeezed herself in stealing Simon's seat and made herself at home amongst the men that were all twice her size.
"O-okay then, drink?" Simon turned back to me "please" I breathed following closely behind his as he lead the way to the bar. "Jack and coke" Simon ordered, I tired to force away the smile that's as forming when he remembered my drink.

He ordered himself a whiskey before turning to the table and then back to me "I'm gonna guess something pink for her?" He smirked a little "double pink gin with lemonade and two tequila shots please" I smiled at the bartender who shot me a wink back as he started pouring. He placed the shots down first and I held one up to Simon he grimaced a little before taking the little glass and holding it out "to old friends" his smirk dripping off his voice.
