Unbreaking the Broken (Ghost x Reader)

Ghosts? Sure I know all about Ghost.

He put his head into your neck.

"I guess I will go first." He said into your neck.

You laid there under him as he talked about the past. What happened to his family. What his dad and brother did. Everything. The whole time he was playing with your hair.

When he finished talking you put your hand up to his masked face and moved his face to yours. You had tears in your eyes. You felt awful after hearing his past. The pain done to him mentally and physically.

You made eye contact with him. His dead eyes no longer held anger in them. Just looked dead and sad.

Broken. Just like yours used to look before all you felt was anger.

"Ghost, i'm so sorry." Was all you could manage to say.

"Baby don't cry." Ghost said as he wiped away your tears. You couldn't help it though. When you first met him, you thought he was just a heartless jerk.
But he has a heart. It was just cold.

Like yours.

"I guess it's my turn." You forced a chuckle.

Ghost moved beside you. You sat up and looked down at him.

"But first. Will you take the mask off?"

He closed his eyes and sighed.

"I'm sorry I know you don't want to but I just want to see your face when I tell you this."

It was half the truth. You actually really wanted to see his face because if he reacted to your past the way you think he might, then you want to at least see his face before he would never speak to you again.

He sat up and looked at you.
Then he grabbed the bottom of the mask pulling it off.
You stared at him. He was handsome. How could someone this handsome hide their face? He had a scar across his lip from above the top of his top lip, through his top and bottom lip, to the underneath his bottom lip. It wasn't right in the middle though, more off to the side.

(Authors note: Pic at bottom kinda showing what i'm talking about)^

"You're beautiful Ghost."
He laughed.
"Beautiful? No, you're beautiful baby."

You felt tears in your eyes again.

"You're handsome."
He smiled at you. Finally you could see his smile.

"It's your turn sweetheart."

Right. You took a deep breath.

"When I was 16, I started liking my guy bestfriend, Nico. He liked me too. But we didn't want to date.
So we did everything a couple would do. Hold hands, go on dates, cuddle. Just no title.
Then a little bit after my 17th birthday, I became friends with a boy named Aidan. Me and Aidan became close but I was still "with" Nico.
Nico lived an hour away from me, but his grandpa lived two houses down from mine. He would stay there for summers and sometimes just randomly come up.
Then one day Nico told me he liked someone else. I was a little upset but not really since I had started liking Aidan. I told him I liked Aidan. And he didn't seem to care. We would still hangout though, but something changed with him."

You stopped talking to take another deep breath. Ghost just looked at you holding your hand.

"One day I was at his house and him and his friend were playing a game. I was sitting next to Nico watching when he died in the game. He punched me, hard in the shoulder. I thought he had just been joking so I laughed and punched him back.
But it got worse. He would smack me across the face for talking during a movie or if i accidentally interrupted him. He would tell me I was still his even though he didn't want me anymore.
Eventually he started hitting me, beating me. He would threaten my life and my families life if I told anyone so I stayed quiet. Anytime I saw him he'd beat the shit out of me. He'd drag me by my hair. If I wasn't with him, he'd text my friends to see where I was. This went on for months.
Then one night, he told me his grandpa wasn't home and to come stay the night with him. I told him no and that I was staying at my friends and he told me he'd come there and kill us if I didn't. So I asked my friend to take me there."
