5SOS Imagines vol. 2

He Finds Out You Were Sexually Assaulted-CH

YOUR POV
I was sitting on my couch staring at the black TV screen. I had not been able to think straight since it happened. I hadn't been able to function properly since it happened. And I haven't told anybody. Not even Calum who just so happened to be my best friend. I've told him everything. Well, everything but this.

Last weekend I was over at my boyfriend's house and things got a little heated. I wasn't comfortable going all the way, and when I told him to stop, he didn't. He had me pinned down and I couldn't get up.

I lived with Calum, so it will be hard to keep this from him.

I heard the front door shut and Calum walked into the room.

"(Y/n?" He asked. "I thought you said you were gonna clean? This place is a mess."

"Sorry... I got side tracked."

"With what? You're just sitting there."

"Oh, I'm sorry that I can't be your fucking slave everyday. Why don't you try cleaning the house once in a blue moon?!"

"(Y/n), what the hell? You know it's been very stressful at the studio for me."

"You don't think it's been stressful for me here?! You don't know what I've been going through!"

"Then why don't you tell me." His voice was soft and quiet.

"I... I can't. It's not something easily discussed."

"Sweetheart, you tell me everything. Whatever it is you can trust me. You've been acting weird for the past couple days. What's wrong?"

I sighed and said, "Remember when I spent the night at Nick's house last weekend?" Calum nodded slowly. His eyes were on me, listening intently. "Well, our make out session turned into a heated one and... Well he wanted to go all the way, and I didn't. And when I told him to stop, he didn't... And umm-"

"Oh my god, he raped you?" I nodded.

"I'm going to kill him," he said as he stood up. I grabbed his hand and pulled him back.

"No, Calum. You are only going to make it worse." I had tears falling now.

"How so?"

"He told me that if I told anybody, he would end me... Besides, we were romantically involved to begin with so the authorities wouldn't do anything."

"You don't know that."

"But I don't want to take the chance."

"Fine. I'll go myself then."

"Calum, please... No."

"(Y/n), you need to turn him in. What he did to you was illegal on all levels."

"But I told you, we were-"

"So what if you were romantically involved? You told him to stop, and he didn't. He held you down against your will. Baby, you have to turn him in."

There was that pet name. Calum called me baby quite often, and I constantly found my stomach filling with butterflies when he did. I never thought about it much, but having feelings for my best friend was possible. But would they be a good thing?

I dropped my head, unsure of what to say. "Alright, how's this: we will go when you've decided you're ready to talk about it more, okay?" I nodded. "Good."

"Why are you so good to me?" I asked.

"Because you're the most important person to me and I love you." He looked deep into my eyes, and I in his. I felt this strange tension between us, an urge to kiss him. He placed his hand on the side of my face, rubbing my cheek with his thumb comfortingly. He leaned forward a little, but instead of placing his lips on mine, he placed them on my forehead in a prolonged kiss. "I love you more than anything in this world, and I will do anything to protect you. When I see you upset, it pains me because all I ever want is to see that beautiful smile on your face. It hurts to see you hurting, so you can only imagine how painful it is for me right now, knowing that this prick took advantage of you like that. I promise you that I will do everything in my power to make sure that no one ever does that to you again. I'm in love with you, and I will do whatever I can to prove it to you. I will show you what love is."

"Thank you," I said. "I love you too, Cal."

He kissed my lips softly and pulled me into his chest. He laid down so his back was on the couch and I was on top of him. We stayed like that, his arms wrapped around me tightly. We both ended up falling asleep on the couch until he woke around two in the morning, realizing where we were and took us up to his bed where we fell asleep again.
