5SOS IMAGINES

deep breaths - calum (bf)

calum had just arranged for the two of you to go to the upcoming 'the maine' concert. they were one of your favourite bands, and it just so happened that calum was friends with the drummer.

getting ready that day, you had an uneasy feeling. the last couple days you've felt off, brushing it away as if it was just stress, you continued with your day but today you couldn't.

you woke up this morning, calum wasn't there to hold you but you could hear him downstairs. you took this time to let out some tears in peace and quite without worrying your boyfriend.

after you had your moment, you got up and washed your face, trying to get rid of evidence that you were crying. you made your way downstairs and saw calum watching television on the lounge.

"good morning beautiful!" calum smiles up at you and opens his arms, inviting you to cuddle up to him.

"morning bub." you smile back at him and plant a kiss on his cheek.

his arms tighten around you and you feel safe and warm there. you never want to leave his warm embrace but eventually you feel him pull away and ask if you wants a coffee. you agree and he leaves to put the kettle on as you replace his warmth for duke.

"hey cal!" you call out after a few minutes.

"yeah?" he answers from the kitchen. you hear the fridge close, two cups being picked up and footsteps walking towards you.

"what time do we have to leave?" he sets the coffees on the table and takes his spot back from duke, now placing the dog on his other side.

"well, we've only got about an hour and a half now because someone woke up at 2 p.m." you look up at the tv, seeing the time in the top corner. you look towards calum and start laughing.

"sorry, i'm so tired." you whine out your last statement. "how long have you been up?"

"not that long, i didn't wake up till 12:30 or something either." you both laugh.

you lean forward to grab yours and calum's cups, passing him his as he places a kiss on your forehead and decides on a tv channel. you rest your head against his shoulder as you both soo at your drinks.

————————

"are we nearly there?" you whine out. you'd been in the car for about an hour already.

"it's literally around this corner, calm your farm." he chuckles at you as you let out a relived sigh.

calum pulls into the parking lot, parking a few spots away from the bands tour bus. you both get out of the car, calum reaching out for you hand as you walk towards the venue. you meet the band and hang out until the concert starts.

being there with calum gives you special privileges to stand side stage whilst they're performing. you and calum both make the most of it, dancing like idiots because no one there can see you.

24 floors comes on and you stop, looking at calum he realises exactly where you mind is going. he walks up to you and tears fill your eyes.

"hey, hey, hey, none of that, baby." he lifts his hand to brush the tears form your cheek, pushing your hair back out of your face. "you're beautiful, (y/n). i love you and you are so strong." he reassured you.

you nod your head and attempt to stop crying but you can't. this song is your song, it explains your thoughts so perfectly. but they weren't your thoughts anymore and calum was the one to thank for that. he pulled you out of that place and has managed to keep you out of there majority of the time. of course sometimes you fall into depression and your anxiety attacks are still common, you've gotten so much better.

calum pulls you into him, you rest your cheek on his chest and face the stage. his arms wrap tightly around your shoulders as he sway you two to the beat of the song, leaving sweet kisses on the back on your head.

"i love you, beautiful." he whispers as the songs end.

"i love you cal." you whisper back and plant a kiss on his lips.

after the concert was over, you and calum congratulated the band and you got ready to leave. that's when it got worse for you.

you grab calum's hand as he pulls you through the large crowd or screaming teenagers. someone had found out that you two had come tonight and they had followed you there to try and meet calum.

"i'm sorry, baby." calum apologises as he pulls you closer to him, wrapping his arm around your back and holding you towards him with his opposite hand.

"cal, i wanna go home. please." you cry out. tears falling from your eyes.

"i know, i know, i'm trying, baby. almost there, promise, just a bit longer and we'll be in the car and we can leave." he readjusted his grip on your arm as it was pulled away from you by fans.

calum pulls his keys out of his pocket and unlocks the car. as you reach the car, calum hurries to get you inside safely assisting you in putting on your seatbelt, then getting in himself.

he starts the car, reversing as quick as he can. he drives down the road a bit and pulls up on the side.

he get out of the car and comes around to your side, opening up your door and bringing you into his arms.

"sh, you're okay, my love. i'm right here, baby." you reassured you. "take some deep breaths." he demonstrates some deep breathes for you and your breathing slowly calms down. "there you go, im so proud of you." he placed kisses on your forehead.

"i'm sorry, cal." you apologise, looking up into his eyes.

he combs a hand through your hair. "don't apologise, it's been a big couple of days and you were overwhelmed. don't ever apologies for feeling overwhelmed. i'm always here, my love." he promises. you smile and lean up to peck his lips.

"thank you, love." you say softly.

"of course, im always here." he pulls you back into his chest, you relax there, feeling safe and sound.

"come on, let's get going. you can have a nap and i'll wake upu up when we get home." you nod your head as you pull away. calum helps you put your seatbelt back on and walks around to his side, getting in the car and starting to drive away.

you get comfortable on the passenger seat and claim reaches back to pull a blanket form the back. you thank him and snuggling into it, resting your head on his thigh. seeing as you don't have a centre console, you are able to snuggle up to him a lot better.

he runs his hand through your hair. "go to sleep, baby. i love you." he stopped at a red light, leaning down to press a kiss to your head.

"i love you, cal." he smiles and plants on last kiss on your head. that's the last thing you remember before you fall asleep.
