You’re Merricks son and after your mother had fed you lies and abused you until he noticed and took you away, you developed some really bad mental health issues.
He worked with you and would basically get you what you wanted. He tried therapy but you hated that. So he always kept your bookshelf full, that seemed to work for a while. You’d read days away and seemed content.
Then he found you nearly dead again. Sitting by your body in the hospital he knew he couldn’t keep doing this. One day it would work and he couldn’t cope with that.
So he packed your things and moved you into the base. The other Ghost soldiers were kind to you but with you barely leaving your room, it didn’t do much.
So Merrick made a decision he knew he might regret later down the line. He paid Hesh to date you. It worked. Hesh brought you out of your shell and used your dad’s money to buy you gifts.
One evening Merrick sent Hesh the money but noticed he sent it back. He went to find Hesh but found him with you tucked in his lap fast asleep while watching a movie.
“I don’t want the money, Merrick.” Hesh murmured quietly so he didn’t wake you up but Merrick knew what that meant.
