This takes place before the first chapter . This information was unincluded in chapter 1. Keep in mind, that Calum was having symptoms of Lung Cancer before he went to the emergency room with boys. He was really sick for a really long time and hid it from everyone else. He was even smoking during the cancer battle even though he wasn't supposed to. going further in depth, he didn't officially stop smoking until a year later after chapter 1. ( I don't know if that actually makes sense lol). When he turned 20, he friend at the bar made him smoke, making him go back into the addiction causing the cancer cells to form again. It made him sicker from the time before; but after the re diagnosis he stopped.
Fact: it's been proven that after a person is diagnosed with any type of lung cancer they usually die within 5 years of the first diagnosis. This is why Calum died after four years of his battle. It's shocking he made it that long. He was so sick, you guys. His body was so weak. He was supposed to do a follow up after a few months after the cancer free news, but didn't. If he went to the doctor way before that incident; they would've saved his life. He would've been able to live a few more years so he could've been able to see Mali Koa get married and see his first nephew. But sadly smoking killed him. Cancer took him away.
Ok so this next part Is from a dream/ twitter video I saw.This also has to do with the fanfic. Calum was in LA walking down the street, as per usual. Minding his own business, enjoying the beautiful weather. And before he knew it he reached into his pocket, taking out the camel menthol cigarette, put in his mouth, took out a lighter and proceeded to light the killer in between his teeth. He breathed in the smoke into his lungs and let it out after a few seconds. He was also trying to hide himself from the public eye. "I hate doing this". he said to himself before he took his last puff of the cigarette before throwing it on the ground.
Afterwards he proceeded to walk down the sidewalk , bumping into two fans. They started to talk to him and one of the girls started to video the conversation. All of a sudden; Calum got into a coughing fit. "Are you okay" the girl asked. Calum didn't answer he was still coughing & he couldn't catch his breath.
He knew that smoking was terrible. But was addicted to it.
Calum put the cigarette to his lips, breathing in the carcinogens, compromising his lungs and his health. All of that because his friends told him to do it because it was cool. They forced him to do something he didn't want todo. Resulting him into a horrid addiction leading up to a slow & Painful death.
He died at 23, leaving his fans, his band & family. Cigarettes ruined his life. Don't do it.
Calum you're better than the cigarettes, please stop smoking. It's going to kill you we love you.When you light up, you sign up. - An American Stop Smoking Ad
