*Prologue*
Gray clouds cover the sky, a cold wind spits snow in my face, a thin sheet of ice covers the withered grass.
I walk slowly in the cold weather, it feels nice to just be in the quiet, no noise, no emotions.
Do you even care anymore!? the hurtful words still ring in my ears, How could he say that? after everything we've been through... I quickly begin to wipe my eyes.
I cant feel my feet anymore, I half way wish my heart could say the same. Why does he have to act like this? I should go back there, and talk to him, but my feet are determined to go forward.
My thoughts go back to the day i had amnesia, when we thought nothing would get between us, I shouldn't be bothered by this fight, we have them on regular basis, but this just felt so much more hurtful. I dont understand why but it does, My thoughts are cut off by seeing a huge hill made out of snow, theres a huge dent in it. Me and Roach tried to skee on it. well I lost my balacance at the top, i grabbed Roach he lost balacance and we both toppled down the side.
That was just yesterday, the dent is still fresh, Roach is probably freezing at the moment, MacTavish and him had to go to Russia today, General Shepard needed them too infiltrate a Russian airbase in the Tian Shan mountains to retrieve a ACS module.
Roach must hate it, I'm the only one who knows Roach is afriad of heights, and him climbing a mountain side is diffintely not in his favor, at least he can actually climb, were as if I was on the mission i'd just fall off the mountain side and that would be the end of my life. But at this point, with how much me and Ghost have been fighting, I honestly wouldn't mind a small tumble down a mountain, it couldn't possibly hurt as bad as Ghosts words do.
Buck up kid, we got a long way ahead of us, Gaz's voice jabs at my mind,
I suppose you haven't figured out i have a pair of eyes My younger self had retorted.
Today seems like one of thoses days were I should be happy, but it feels about impossible with Ghost in the base. Are fights have gotten worse in the past month, they aren't yelling matchs nothing physical happens, it just feels like were losing that certain spark that made us fall in love in the first place.
Maybe I'm just over-thinking, i've been doing that a lot lately, but thats because Shepard has been acting strangely weird, he's different, i don't know how to describe it, but he is.
"A little cold too be out dressed like that don't you think?." Sams friendly voice comes from behind me.
"I had to get out of there." I say, my voice seems dull and stiff. Sam has been in a relationship with MacTavish for about 3 months now, they seem to be doing fine, no fights at all, they're relationship looks like a walk in the park, the complete oppisite of mine and Ghosts.
"What happened?." Sam asks as she walks beside me
Her face seems so alive, she's lost a lot of her tan, but her face isn't pale either, her freckles still pop out, her brown hair is pulled back.
I sigh then say with a dismissive shake of the head "Me and Ghost were just fighting."
"Again? what happened this time?." Sam asks slightly surprised.
"Do you remember last mission?." I ask
"You mean the one in Russia were we thought Makarov was hiding?." Sam says.
"Yeah, I guess everybody was heading to the LZ and I was stuck on a roof top."
Sam smiles and says "We flew straight past you, tons of enemeys behind us, you jumped off the roof and tackled a guy off a snowmoblie."
"Ghost was telling me too wait, well I'm not exactly the patient type." I say returning the smile
"Alex you are the craziest son of a bitch i have ever met." Sam smiles.
My smile begins to slowly fade "Ghost said the same thing."
Sams smile turns to a frown "What happened? I mean two months ago you two were constantly holding hands, cuddleing in the rec. room, how did it all go away?."
I shake my head and say "I don't know Sam."
"Static, Night! get in here!." Archer calls out too us.
Sam is now offically known as Static, the story is quite simple. Sam had one day came out from our room, and her hair had tons of static electricity, she looked like she had a layer of hair that was just floating, and Roach got the bright idea to call her Static.
"What do you need?." I ask slightly confused.
"Dinners ready!." Archer replies as he goes back in, I look at Static for a moment, we both give a nod to each other and head inside, I hope Ghost isn't there, I mean id survive if he was, but I don't like being in the same room as him when were on bad terms, is that a bad thing?
But cause my luck sucks when we walk into the Mess hall, low and behold Ghost sits with Ozone eating, my muscles begin to stiffen and I straighten my posture as we walk by.
Don't make eye contact! don't make eye contact! Something I have lived on my entire life, but I never meant it for relationship issues. Sighing I grab a tray and begin to pile it with food.
"Were do you want to sit?." Static asks,
"Preferably not by Ghost." I say with a stiff voice, Static smirks at me as we sit down at a table in the corner, Ghost is looking at me, my Vibe quickly senses it.
"You should go talk to him." Static says quietly
"No." I snap back quietly, I don't seem to get a choice in the matter, Ghost begins to walk to us, what could he want? it's not the first time he's apologized about our fights, but I've had my fair share as well, when he gets to our table Static gets up and whispers "Good luck."
I sigh and watch her leave,
Ghost gives a sigh then sits across from me
"Alex..."
I let out a small irritable chuckle and roll my eyes "How could you say I don't care?." I whisper dangerously low.
"Because I was mad, because at times with the things you do, you scare the life out of me, Alex love, I cant lose you like I lost the rest of my family." Ghost gives a innocent look, even though no one can see it, he knows I can sense it.
"That isn't fair, you cant just use your family as a reason to keep me locked up, I know you want to protect me, but this is overboard." I say as I get up.
"What are you saying?." Ghost asks quickly
I look at him directly in the eyes "That I need some time too think."
Without another moment I walk away from the table. How dare he use that excuse on me! I know he's complete story, how Roba tortured him, how his family was slaughtered, and him using that excuse on me is slightly insulting, Ghost knew when we got together that we both had jobs to do, and whether he likes it or not I'm going to do mine,
My thoughts are cut off my Royce's voice "Night! get in the War room MacTavish and Roach are back."
I look at him and give a nod and head for the War room.
