Love Struck

Chapter 34 - Battle Of The Blood Part 1 [ Shadow ]

Shadow's POV

I approached Dove's door and readied myself to knock.

Just as my hand was going to make contact with the door Ghost opened it and jumped as his eyes came in contact with me.

"Shadow!" He shouted as quietly as he could.

I stared at him.

Ghost looked at me and quickly walked out into the hall while shutting the door behind him.

He quickly looked me over.

"What happened?!" He asked while trying to remain quiet.

I just stared at him.

"Don't be like that." Said Ghost.

I kept my eyes on him as he slowly approached me.

"Where did you go after the fight?" He asked.

"Why do you care?" I asked back.

"Shadow come on. We were both wrong and we acted stupid. Listen I'm sorry for what I did." Stated Ghost.

I didn't respond.

"So?" Said Ghost.

"So what?" I asked.

"Aren't you sorry?" He replied.

I slowly began to approach him and Ghost made his way backwards.

"What happened to you? You were ready to kill me a few hours ago and now your sorry for what happened." I stated.

"Yeah." Stated Ghost.

"Why?" I asked.

"Why what?" Replied Ghost.

"Why?" I asked again.

"Why what!?" Shouted Ghost.

I quickly grabbed him by the shoulder and dragged him into me.

"Why?" I asked with force.

Ghost slowly looked at me and took a deep breath.

"It wasn't right what we did Shadow. We care about each other and I believe we shouldn't let that one fight effect the relationship we have as family. I don't know, but I believe we were just acting dumb." Replied Ghost.

I released him and replied.

"I had my heart broken and you held me back."

"You were going to kill Logan." Stated Ghost.

"You stopped me." I stated.

"And you said I never knew love!" Shouted Ghost.

"Then tell me Ghost! Who has ever been with you! Been deep in your heart and held you close enough to know what love is!" I ordered.

Ghost looked at me in sadness.

"I admit Shadow. I never knew love when you said that before, but I know what it is now." Replied Ghost.

"How!?" I asked in anger.

Ghost quickly looked at the door to Dove's room and I followed his eyes.

I slowly pulled off him and walked to the door. Slowly I opened it to find Dove laying down next to Ghost's shirt. She was naked for what I could see and she was alone under the covers, but I could tell someone was sleeping beside her. I slowly closed the door and looked at Ghost.

"You and her!?" I questioned in anger.

Ghost immediately got in my face.

"Yeah! What's your problem!?" He asked me in force.

"My problem is why didn't you tell me about this!?" I replied.

"It happened after you left a few hours ago!? Hell I didn't even know she liked me!" He replied.

"So what happened!?" I asked.

"I found out and we both realized what we had in each other Shadow. We talked and we both began to feel it." Stated Ghost.

"Feel what?" I asked.

"The spark." Replied Ghost.

My eyes widened and I began to walk away.

Ghost quickly grabbed me by my arm.

"What's wrong!?" He asked.

"Get the fuck away from me right now!" I screamed at him.

Ghost immediately released my arm and I began to walk away in serious rage.

I walked away towards Nexus's room and opened it to find him in bed.

I walked by his sleeping body and into the bathroom.

I instantly took off my cloths and jumped in the shower.

The warm water felt good as the sand and what was left of my blood rolled off my body.

I quickly turned off the water and tossed on a towel.

I check myself in the mirror and as soon as I was ready I tossed open the door to find Nexus in my face.

I ran into him and Nexus fell.

I panicked and quickly caught him as his side was about to come in contact with the ground.

I fell under Nexus's side and he landed on me.

As I fell with him I realized I ran my arm against Nexus's wheelchair. My arm began to bleed again but I held in my pain as I balanced Nexus back on his feet.

As soon as he was up I grabbed my arm in pain.

"Are you ok?" I asked him.

Nexus got back in his chair and looked at me.

"I didn't hear you come in and I got up to check and then…!" I cut him off.

"It's ok Nexus. I should have woke you up." I stated.

Nexus began to cry.

"I didn't mean to hurt you Shadow." He stated in tears as he looked at my arm.

I quickly took his shoulder.

"Don't worry about it. I'm ok. I only care right now if your ok." I stated.

Nexus smiled and wiped his face.

"I'm fine thanks to you. My side hurts like hell after what Ghost did." He stated.

"What happened?" I asked as I used my towel to wipe my arm.

"After the fight you two had he pushed me to the floor and I broke my hip again." He replied.

"What!?" I asked in shock.

"He even chocked Dove against the wall." Stated Nexus.

"Why!?" I asked.

"He was mad I guess." Replied Nexus.

In my head it made no sense. He hurt her and now he's in love with her.

"I'm ok though. I know Ghost was just mad. Hell even you ran off after that." Stated Nexus.

"Did you see what was going on in the city?" I asked as I approached the bed.

"No. I have one of my men managing that. Why?" Asked Nexus as he rolled towards the bed across from me.

"It's a war zone out there. The anti-rebellion are giving your men a hard time." I replied.

"They will get it done." Stated Nexus.

"I hope so." I replied as I went for my towel.

I stopped as I took the end of it.

"Do you have anything for ahhhh?" I asked him.

Nexus chuckled and pointed at his dresser.

"Just wear one of my BDU's. We're the same size so it should fit well." He stated.

I slowly got up and opened the dresser.

I pulled out a black BDU and undid my towel as Nexus looked away.

As soon as it was on I said.

"Thanks."

"No problem." Replied Nexus as he looked back at me.

I nodded and walked towards the bed and slowly got under the covers.

Nexus carefully got in his and did the same.

As I was thinking Nexus interrupted my thoughts.

"What happened?" He asked.

"About what?" I asked back.

"With you and Ghost." He replied.

I took a deep breath and exhaled the same.

"Long story." I replied.

"Then shorten it for me." He replied.

I smiled as we looked at each other.

"Fine." I said as I readied my voice.

I had sex with Amy this morning and I hid once Logan needed to come in and when he did he kissed Amy and they might have had sex as well. I was forced to leave and when I came back to my quarters me and Ghost had an argument about love and we ended up nearly killing each other. I drew blood through my anger and Ghost was done. We fought some more until I stopped. I didn't want to kill him so I left and Amy chased me and I yelled at her for having sex with Logan which I don't know for sure I just assumed and she told me to never see her again so when she ran away I nearly killed a man for hearing the whole thing and I ended up passing out in the desert during a war and a long rain storm. After I came through hours later I came back here to find Ghost sleeping with Dove in her room and I yelled at him for no good reason and came here." I stopped and took a huge gasp of air.

Nexus was dumbfounded. He looked at me in shock and confusion as I chuckled from his facial reaction.

"Now you know." I stated as I turned over to go back to sleep.

I quickly passed out leaving Nexus in a state of confusion and shock.
