5SOS Imagines

Calum

(Song: Wake Me Up by Ed Sheeran)

And that dreaded last night together rolled around. You packed your bag and waited for him in your front porch, watching as his beat up pick up truck rolled by. And the drive was silent, your hand inside his as he just drove. There was no need for words, no need to express how you both felt because you both knew exactly what they other felt because you felt it as well.

And then he pulled up in the outskirts of town, overlooking the whole city. So many memories shared between the two of you there throughout the years. Your first kiss, your first date, your first fight... Everything had happened in what felt like an eternity but at the same time you were starting to feel cheated off a forever... Because he was about to make it big, see the world... Out there where there were much more beautiful girls... Smarter girls... Interesting girls...

The two of you walked in silence towards the back of his truck, laid a blanket down before you climbed up and laid there. Next to each other, fingers intertwined and staring at the stars.

The two of you knew how it felt... To hold everything you've ever wanted... The prospect of a future together that was slipping through your fingertips.

"I'll be coming back for you..." he whispered softly into your ear as he pulled you close to his side, his lips pressing gently against your temple.

"I'll be waiting here..." You whispered to him, throat tight with emotions as he stroked your shoulder with his thumb.

And then the silence was back. Not uncomfortable, deafening silence... Just comfortable, dooming silence. A silence that made your throat tight and your heart heavy. His hand squeezed yours.

You would never find anybody like him, you knew you better than you knew yourself. Who held you like you were his world. Who made you feel much more beautiful than a Victoria Secret model...

But the two of you were already driving back home, in a few hours he had a flight to catch. You studied him as he drove, Ed Sheeran playing in the background. Your song... The one you two danced to in your backyard at midnight for your 18th birthday. His arms wrapped around your waist as you looked into each others eyes; your head resting on his chest listening to his heartbeat, listening to him breathe.

Now he walked you to your door, his hand never letting go of yours before you both stopped and looked into each others eyes. Would this be the last time? You refused to believe that. He promised... Calum had promised...

His lips lowered onto yours, soft and sweet.

"I love you," You murmured softly, holding back tears. You heard him sigh and hug you closer to his chest. His forehead pressed against yours.

"I love you too..." He whispered back as he pulled a small box and placed it in your hands before he began to walk away. "Just remember to wait for me, okay?" He called back, flashing you one of his famous smiles.

You gripped the box tightly within your trembling hands, watching the glistening ring that looked back at you from within the box. The promise of forever... The promise that the two of you would see each other again...
