You had been friends with Ghost for years, at first he was grumpy, and gloomy - he still is, but he can talk to you normally, or have a drink with you.

Days passed like that, you were closest to Ghost and he to you, until you made one mistake on a mission, and then Ghost easily turned away from you like the rest of the team..

Your heart was heavy when you left the military, and the team when Captain Price fired you, because you exposed almost the entire team to loss, and you didn't want to do it on purpose..

Your well-being was getting worse, you had no support from anyone, because you were alone, your hair was falling out from your head from nerves, and lack of good nutrition. You - you were fading away in the shadows.

And Ghost was starting to be tormented by thoughts that something was happening. He couldn't tell what it was, but he couldn't sleep at night, because of nightmares when he saw you dying alone, he woke up out of breath, and sweaty.

Until finally he couldn't take it anymore, and in the middle of the night he took the phone, sleepily, and tried to call you on your old phone number..

"Pick it up.. Don't do this to me." - He repeated nervously, he hated that he still remembered you and worried about you, or maybe he made a mistake when he agreed to release you from the unit, he didn't know himself, but he unconsciously missed you..
