Being a soldier in one of the best Special Forces teams was hard. But it was even harder working with him.
You and Ghost were a great team, you understood each other half a word, you always knew when you had each other's backs. He saved your life a bunch of times, just like you saved his. The two colleagues made a great tandem.
Except he wasn't just a colleague to you.
It was a strange feeling that you buried as soon as you realised what he meant to you. He was a friend. No, he was more than a friend to you.
You never made even the slightest move on him, just waiting for those feelings to pass. And the main reason is his girlfriend. They dated for about a year - the head nurse at military base Lily. They seemed happy together. But the key word - seemed.
You're back from your solo mission. Everything went fine, just a couple of cuts that needed to be treated. Walking through the dim corridors of the base you headed towards Lily's office. It was always a little painful to be around her, but there was no choice.
You opened the door, immediately walking inside, but as soon as you looked up and saw the picture you froze.
Lily was barely dressed, pinned by a man's body against the couch of the medical room. You immediately turned away, whispering swear words and apologies, but the man's voice interrupted you.
"What the hell? Get out!"
Except it wasn't Simon's voice.
His girlfriend is cheating on him.
