Call me crazy, but I love Ghost. A lot more than a friend, or crewmember. No, I'm not gay! I just love Ghost, and if I had to, I would choose him over every woman on this planet.
Now, when the war finally ended, I thought it ment peace and happiess. God was I wrong. Poor Ghost had a hard time, he fell into a depression after hearing about Trinity's death.Plus the fact that he wanted to die in the war, for Zion. I thought he might commit suicide, Niobe and Morpheus denied it, they said he'll get better and go back to his old self.
A week later, I found myself at his door. My fist was raised as if to knock, but I was frozen. I wanted to tell him, I wanted to heal him. God he would hate me for this. I knocked, and he answered, tears in his eyes. I just wanted to hug him.
"Sparks?" He asked in a small voice. "What do you want?"
"To talk to you." I answered. "Can I come in?"
He nodded, and I stepped in. We both sat on the bed, close to each other.
"Are you alright?" I asked. Of course not, I'm fucking depressed! He had to be thinking that.
Instead he shook his head. Without thinking, I put my arm around his shoulder. "You know I'm here if you need me." I whispered. I remembered what I said, he only cried and placed his head on my shoulder. I thought he would pull away.
"Am I destined to never be happy?" Ghost cried. "It's all my fault! Everything, this war, Trinity's death. All of it!"
"No, Ghost nothing is because of you. If people were smart one hundred years ago, we wouldn't have this problem! As for happiness, you'll find it."
He nearly cried for an hour, but stopped. He apologized for wasting time with his crying, saying he was an idiot. I was kinda shocked, never had I seen Ghost cry, or sad. He was always calm, even though he looked like he was in a bad mood.
"Ghost," I finally said breaking the silence. "I really need to ask you something."
He wiped his tears, "What?"
I hesitated, "Are you alright?"
"I'm fine. Don't worry about me."
"I just want to make sure, you seem so sad."
He looked offended, "I'm not sad, I'm just mourning." He started to cry again. I wrapped my other arm around him, and again he buried his face in my shoulder. "God, what is wrong with me?"
He looked into my eyes, I couldn't say anything. All I wanted was to make him smile, I couldn't do that now.
Ghost jumped when someone knocked on the door. I got up to open it.
"Niobe?"
"Yea, I'm here." She closed the door and sat on the bed next to Ghost. "I had a feeling you were here, Sparks."
"Really?" I smiled. "I couldn't let Ghost be alone, when he's going through a time like this."
Niobe smiled too, then she looked at Ghost. "You feel well enough to come a ceremony?"
Ghost shrugged. "I guess."
"Let's go, then. I'll buy you a drink, make you feel better."
We squeezed our selves into the temple. Niobe took us to our spot, on top of the altar, stage thing...nevermind. Looks like we were just in time, no one was speaking.
"Oh look, the Trouble Trio!" Link joked. To tell you the truth, I don't like Link.
"Oh shut it!" Everyone stared, Ghost just snapped...at Link too!
"Ghost, what's wrong?" Some one asked.
Ghost covered his ears and lowered his head. "Just leave me alone!" Niobe and I led him away from the crowd. He fell in a corner, nearly crying. At this point, I don't know what to do, what to tell him. He curled up in the corner, burying his face in his knees. "I shouldn't have come!" He cried.
"It's alright, just try not to kill anyone." Niobe said, hopeing she could bring a grin to Ghost's lips, it didn't work. "I'm gonna go get the drinks. Don't let anyone try to talk to him until, he calms down." With that, she left.
I sat beside him, gently rubbing his back. He stayed silent, his face still buried. I looked into the group a few feet away from us, some people were pointing and whispering.
"They're staring at me, aren't they?" Ghost murmured, not even looking.
I sighed, "Yea, they all are."
