One Direction Preferences

Preference #36 (Song Preference): Demons by Imagine Dragons

When the days are cold

And the cards all fold

And the saints we see

Are all made of gold

When your dreams all fail

And the ones we hail

Are the worst of all

And the blood’s run stale

Liam: Normally, you were preppy and happy and you felt like everything in your life was perfect, but this day in particular was different. You were low and there wasn't any real explanation for it. All your life you dealt with depression, and ever since Liam came into your life, it recently subsided. But for some reason the world just seemed a tad bit darker. When you woke up from your nap, you immediately wanted to fall back asleep, but before you could, the door to your flat opened. "(Y/N)? I'm home!" Liam called out and you let out a sigh. You obviously were in no mood to deal with another person, even if it was Liam. He walked over to the couch and planted a kiss on your forehead. You closed your eyes again, not saying anything to him. "What's wrong?" He asked, but you didn't respond again. You just opened up your eyes and looked at him. "Liam, just leave me alone right now." You said, but he didn't leave. You felt your jaw clench up in anger. Why couldn't he see that you just needed to be alone? "(Y/N), please, tell me what's wrong." He pleaded. You took a deep breath and began to tell him that today was just a low day for you. For some reason, you just couldn't get up off the couch and go through with the day. Realizing that you were talking about the symptoms of depression, he held you close and slowly rocked you back and forth. "(Y/N), I want to make sure you're okay. I couldn't live without you, and you know that." He told you, kissing the top of your head. After that, he never let you get low again.

I want to hide the truth

I want to shelter you

But with the beast inside

There’s nowhere we can hide

No matter what we breed

We still are made of greed

This is my kingdom come

This is my kingdom come

When you feel my heat

Look into my eyes

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Don’t get too close

It’s dark inside

It’s where my demons hide

It’s where my demons hide

Louis: Every day since you started dating Louis, the hate from people was sending you deeper and deeper into a depressive state. People kept calling you "Louis New Beard" and "Managements Next Project". All of the pressure from everyone was too over whelming for you to deal with. There were days when you would go out with Louis and it would be as if the world stopped spinning completely. Still, there were those other days where you would just be on the bathroom floor all alone scrolling through people calling you ugly, or fat, or a gold digger, and you were close to just falling apart. One night you locked yourself in the bathroom and Louis came to knock on the door. You hadn't heard him walk in the apartment, so his presence shocked you. "Hey, (Y/N), you in there? Are you okay?" He asked you from outside the door. "Y-yeah." You said, your voice trembling from the sobs. You heard Louis walk away, and you began to cry again, but this time, you were trying your best to keep quiet, knowing that Louis would know something was up if he heard you. After about two minutes, you heard a clicking and the door opened. There Louis stood, holding up a key that unlocked the bathroom door that was above the door frame outside. Shit, I forgot about those. You thought. Louis walked over and sat next to you on the bathroom floor. "So, when were you going to tell me?" Louis asked you. "Never...I-I wanted to protect you from this...from my dark side." You told him quietly, and barely audible. He just held you close as you cried into his chest, explaining how people's hate was unbearable. "Babe, I don't care what they say. Most of them wouldn't know a beautiful girl if they smack them across the face with a cold steak. You're the only one I really want."
