Ghostly [Calum Hood Fanfic]

Chapter One

"No- Please- Stop!" I say in between breaths as a black figure places it's hands firmly around my neck. I'm swinging my arms but its no use, I'm hitting nothing but air.

My vision becomes blurry and everything is slowly turning black around the edges. I feel a surge of betrayal and confusion jolt through my body.

What's happening? Who is doing this to me? Why are they doing this to me? Why?

I start to feel hot tears run down my face, and just when I realize that they aren't my own, the figure let's me go. I fall to the floor holding my sore throat, gasping. Desperate for air.

When I finally registered what was happening and built up the strength to finally push myself onto my hands and knees... BAM. I get knocked across the head by something from behind.

Everything was fading away as I was falling to the floor in slow motion. Once I hit the floor everything turned pitch black.

I sat up in my bed wheezing and coughing. My throat felt as though it was on fire and my head was throbbing.

Calum. I need Calum.

I drag myself out of bed earning a groan to escape my mouth due to my sore body. I shuffled across the the sun lit room, out into the hall, and into the living room where I saw my boyfriend Calum spread out across the sofa with his morning coffee in hand, watching some show on TV.

He quickly darts his head around at me and a huge grin spreads across his face.

"Good morning baby girl." He says ever so sweetly "I made some coffee, its in the kitchen if you-" He stops talking and the smile is swept off is his face.

"Oh no, babe did you have the nightmare again?" He says with a look of concern plastered on his face.

I nod my head, but I soon regret it when the splitting pain in the back of my head reminds me that any kind of movement whatsoever will hurt like hell.

"I'm so sorry babe, here, sit down while I get you something for your head." He says while gently leading me to our sofa.

I slowly place myself onto the couch as Calum rushes out of the room to find something that will relieve me of the pain. God, these nightmares suck. I have them at least twice a week. Calum thinks I should see a therapist about them but I refuse to, I'm not crazy.

I grab the remote and start flipping through the channels trying to find something I could watch that would help take the focus off of my aching body. I finally land on the news channel, which was talking about some girl that has been missing for about a month now.

"A 19 year old girl has gone missing last month on April 2nd, 2015. Detectives believe that if she has been missing this long that they are no longer looking for a possibly kidnapped girl. They have officially started looking for a body."

Poor girl. If feel so sorry for her family's loss. I know for a fact that if I ever went missing, the only person who would care would be Calum. Not my mother. Not my father. Not my friends or neighbors. They dont even care to look in my direction. Only Calum.

"She was last seen with her boyfriend at a house party, but he has been ruled out as a suspect. Her name is-"

The TV was quickly turned off by Calum .

"You shouldn't be watching the news right now. Your already shooken up. Look your shaking." He says as he wraps a warm blanket around me and sits beside me, then hands be a bottle of water and two Tylenol. I thanked him as I popped the pills in my mouth and washed it down with my water.

"Yea your right, but they were talking about that missing girl again. They've stopped looking for a missing person, and started looking for a body. It's a shame you know." I said shaking my head, it didn't hurt as much as it did before. "Someone that could have actually helped people and accomplish great things, got their life stolen by some selfish asshole."

Calum nodded in agreement but looked very uncomfortable. He got really tense and his face turned pale. Maybe someone close to him died, or was murdered. I probably shouldn't ask him about it now. I'll wait for a better time, you know, when he doesn't look like he's about to pass out.

Calum glanced at the clock on the wall and hopped off of the couch. He must have noticed my look of confusion because he told me he has to go to work. I dont know how I forgot he has a job. Maybe beacause I don't have a job. Considering the fact that I recently graduated the hell hole people called high school, I felt as if I should take a much needed and deserved break.

I gave him a hug and a kiss before he started heading towards the door.

"Love you Calum, have a good day at work." I said with a loving smile on my face.

"I love you too baby girl." He said as he steps out the door and closes it behind him.

I wonder why Calum got so tense and nervous when I mentioned that girl on the news. I'm not just gonna brush it off, I have to ask him about it.

Maybe I'm overreacting, like I usually do. Well even if I am, all I'm going to do is ask him a simple question about it, I want to know. There's no harm in just wanting to know. Right?
