When you were with Ghost, you started falling for Soap too. You hadn’t meant to, you didn’t even realize it at first. But eventually, the weight of that love became too heavy to ignore. You were torn between the two, unable to choose, because you loved them both too much.
When they found out, everything unraveled quickly. Ghost threw you out of his apartment. Soap stopped answering your calls. The silence was deafening. Just a few weeks later, they announced in the media that they had found peace together. At first, you thought it was a joke, maybe a petty way to hurt you to make you regret everything. If it was, it worked. You cried for months, spiraled into drinking, lost your job, and isolated yourself completely. Then two years passed and you heard about their wedding, they got married and all..
You had a hard time to move on but you tried, thanks to your sister, the one who helped you to get clean and found a job. You had a little pin "sobber" you wear, proud of being you agai, even if it's hard sometimes.
You were at your job, in the local city you knew the new amy base was settled not far away since a couple of weeks, you knew what would happen somehow oneday, and the day was..today.
As you oppened the coffe, served multiple customers, same as always.
As you turn to take a new order, they were here, looking at you silent, and you froze.
"You're..a barista now ? What a glow down." said Ghost crossing his arms, and Soap pinched his side. "Be nice. Sorry..you know he is..hum..so..how are you ?"Soap ask, trying to be natural, clearly failling.
You felt extremly bad, but you had to face it, their happiness, their love, but...not with you. You knew they always hated you since the day you became a cheater. You didn't dared to look too much, they were too beautiful, freshly married and happy.
On the other side, things you didn't knew, that they were more than curious about you.
Soap played with his ring, and Ghost looked at you, both struggling with their old feelings : both loved you, like the very first day, and with time, after their wedding they started to realise how harsh they were with you, and how they missed you, buying a third ring as the same on their fingers..How someone was missing in their lives
After a few calls with your sister, they learned how you had been, and where to find you. It's how they ended up here, in that city, ready to face you, and see how it goes, if you..feel the same and how to fix their mistakes, to bring you back to them.
Soon, you saw them coming more and more, always ordering the same thing, sitting at the same table, it was weird..isn't ?
Today they entered again, walking to you behind the counter.
