Chamber of Secrets | Ghost x Reader

Chapter 15 - Solace

You quickly get in your room, locking the door behind you as your body slumps against it. Falling to your knees as you still hold your neck while the feeling of his hand tightening around your throat is still there. 

You cough up some more as you silently start to cry. 

You really don't get what he wants by doing that. Yes, you know how fucked up he is. How bad is his past and all, but that didn't make him can do what he did to you. 

You didn't get why he suddenly did just that.

You did nothing wrong, at least from your perspective. You are sure you already try your hardest to avoid him at all costs. You know you are the weakest in the team, but you always tried to help them as much as possible with all the information you knew. 

You tried to figure out how to make their job easier on each mission. Yet, somehow, you still manage to piss off the almighty Ghost.

Simon "Ghost" Riley. 

At first, when you stumbled across this game, when you first knew this game, Ghost immediately caught your eye.

From his mysterious aura to his shitty past, you feel the empathy for him. You really are feeling sorry when you read about his past. How a father can be so cruel towards his own son.

When you get into this world, you try to deny it and are still hopeful in the very first that this is just another dream your brain made for you. But after one month later, you can't help but notice that all this shit is real.

And you're part of it. 

Yes, you are just living by yourself in your past life. But that doesn't mean you didn't enjoy it; you are one for holding onto memories.

You can't easily just let go when it's gone. You always tried to secure every memory you have; you don't care if it's a sad one, a happy one, or something that annoyed you to your heart; you want to always feel you still have something. 

But to think you still angered someone when you tried to become as nice as possible, as helpful as possible, and it was still not enough, once again you doubt your life here. Is this all worth it? 

Are you on the right path? 

What if you shouldn't involve yourself with this?

What if you should just stay because none of this has anything to do with you?

You don't belong here. You have nothing to do with them if you just stay and decide to live for yourself.

A sharp knock from your door is cutting your train of thoughts to go further. You slowly looked up and turned to look at your door. 

When the knocks won't stop, you slowly get up and open the lock just to be met with Soap's concerned face.

All the things that happened after that are in slow motion in your mind. 

You see how he furrowed his brow as he let himself get into your room, then closed the door behind. 

You see how his hand reaches for yours, then slowly walks you to your bed.

You watch him as he seated himself beside you on the bed.

Then a warm embrace was what finally pulled your thoughts back to reality.

Gentle caresses were what finally made your sense back.

Whispers of sweet nothing were what finally made you feel your surroundings once again. 

Only for you to break again in front of him. 

Your hand subconsciously clutched onto his shirts; you buried your face on his chest as you let out yet another cry.
