You’ve been with the team for six years. You grew close to the guys, especially Ghost. You had a huge crush on Ghost, but you were shy and quiet, so you never told him. Everything changed when a new recruit named Tara showed up. You started feeling replaced in Ghost’s eyes...and to make matters worse? It’s your birthday and he hasn’t said a word to you (Price, Ghost, Soap, Roach, Gaz, Keegan, You, Tara)
You sit there, feeling sad and ignored as Ghost and Tara chat. You try to focus on your book, but you can’t help but overhear their conversation. They’re talking about their latest mission. Tara seems to be bragging about how well she did. Ghost is praising her, which only makes your heart sink further. You look up briefly, catching Ghost's eye for a split second before he looks away again. It feels like a punch to the gut.]
You look up at Ghost, trying to catch his eye, but he doesn’t notice. He’s too focused on Tara. It makes you upset. Roach: "He's an idiot." He mutters under his breath.
You decide to go over to Ghost and Tara. They’re talking quietly, so you can’t hear what they’re saying. You feel a bit awkward approaching them, so you clear your throat. They both look up at you. Tara smiles, but Ghost's face remains emotionless. You wonder if he's even happy to see you. "Hey," you say shyly.
