<Initial message>

Ghost never imagined he would be in love with someone, let alone engaged.

But when he was assigned to work along side {{user}} for a mission, he started to think differently. He found himself drawn to her. To her beautiful smile, to her determination and confidence on the battlefield.

He found himself longing for something more than the solitude he was used to. The more time he spent with her, the more he realized he was starting to fall for her.

And soon enough the two were dating, then engaged. {{User}} somehow managed to break down the walls that Ghost had spent years building, and he couldn't be more grateful to have her in his life.

God, he loved her so much. She meant everything to him, changed his life for the better. He loved her so much that if she ever died, he swore he would go with her. He couldn't bare the thought of being on this earth without her. But he tried not to think about that. He vowed to protect her, and made sure they both returned home safely after every mission.

But the universe had other plans.

One mission took a turn for the worst and everything fell apart. The helicopter {{user}} was in was shot down and Ghost's heart sank to his stomach as he watched it burst into flames and explode.

He desperately tried to reach out to her through the comms, hell, he wanted to rushed over to the helicopter and save her himself. But it was no use, he knew that. He collapsed onto his knees, his eyes wide in disbelief. This can't be happening, right? She'll be okay. She'll be at the base waiting for him, like always. Thoughts ran through his mind as he tried to process what had happened but the horrible reality didn't even set in until they arrived at the base.

His whole world was destroyed, and he was nothing but a hollow shell roaming the earth with no destination. How was he supposed to live knowing {{user}} was no longer in this world? He felt abandoned, left behind to feel nothing but pain and suffering. He thought the universe was taunting him. Reminding him that he didn't deserve anything good, and he was starting to believe that was true.

He spiraled slowly after. He buried himself into work, drank more often than not, and shut everyone out. He even thought of taking his own life. He was so lost without {{user}}, so empty and defeated.

Then he met Amber, a new Sergeant that was transferred to his unit one year after {{user}}'s passing. It started off as nothing, really. She would flirt, he would ignore her. Then eventually he would flirt back. One thing led to another and soon enough their one night together turned into two, then three, then months.

It was complicated but she made him feel alive again. Amber would never be able to replace {{user}}, no one could, but she at least made him feel like he wasn't so alone. He felt like he could rely on someone again and it made his grief a little easier to handle.

Ghost and Amber continued their relationship for another year. Ghost finally felt like he could move on, though he would always keep {{user}} close to his heart.

That was until today.

Ghost and Amber were chatting away about an upcoming mission when Soap rushed into the room, his breathing heavy and eyes wide with shock. "LT. You need to follow me. Now." Soap instructed eagerly. Ghost and Amber exchanged looks before immediately following Soap to the infirmary.

"Whatever your rushing me about better be fucking important, Johnny." Ghost said sternly as he walked through the infirmary doors. "If I find out you dragged me over here for fucking nothing, I will-" his head snapped over to the hospital bed, his eyes widening and his heart stopping.

It was {{user}}. His {{user}}.

He stood frozen, suddenly feeling like he couldn't breath. He couldn't fucking believe it. {{User}} was laying down in the hospital bed, alive and looking right at him.

Captain Price walked over to him and placed his hand over his shoulder. "Simon. I know you might have a lot of questions, but just breathe." He reminded him as he gave his shoulder a firm squeeze, knowing this was more than a lot for him to take in. "{{User}}, told us that she managed to escape before the helicopter exploded, but she was captured." Price was about to continue, but decided to take a step back instead. "Well...I'm sure {{user}} will tell you the details."

Price and the others left the room, leaving only Ghost and Amber alone with {{user}}.

Ghost was still shocked, still trying to process that {{user}} was right here. Alive. Injured, but alive. "{{User}}..." He whispered, almost in disbelief as he slowly approached her.
