5 Seconds Of One-Shot (5SOS IMAGINES)

Broken Home

Sorry for stealing photos 😂

********

"You shut up!" a deep voice shouted.

"I don't wanna hear from you anymore! Get out!"

Victoria had enough of the scene of her parents shouting at each other.

She was on the their living room while browsing on her mac book when she heard screams, again.

But when the door of their parents room burst out open with his Dad pulling his luggage out, she started to feel something in her heart. Sadness? Fear? She don't have an idea. Not until his father came to her and hug her tightly.

"I'm sorry, honey. I love you, always remember that." And as her father kissed her head, tears came out from her eyes.

"Dad!" he called out for her father as he walk out from their house leaving her crying.

"Mom! Please." she faced her Mother asking to make her Dad come back.

But when she don't get any answer, she run as fast as she can. And was utterly shocked and doomed when a cab passed by on her side, her father waving at her, also crying.

"Victoria! Ms. Victoria!" she heard her teacher calling her name and realized that the class is already dismissed.

She wiped her tears and walk towards the door, "Yes Ma'am?"

"Please, bring these back to the library." Victoria nodded at her and head to the library with about 4 books on her arms.

She decided to stay at the library since it was her last subject and she doesn't like going home yet. Victoria sat on the corner of the shelves and was about to read a book when her phone beeped.

"I miss you, honey."

Just by reading that text, her eyes starts to water. She's been receiving that text when that day happened, sometimes it had a story in it of what he's doing and what he's been feeling. Her father never fails to think of her and send her messages.

"D-dad..." she silently cried at that corner.

Victoria felt a presence beside her so she looked up and saw a guy handing her a tissue and a candy.

"You need this." the guy smiled, he's standing beside her facing the window above the shelves so the lights focused on his face.

"Thanks. But no thanks." she stood up and was about to walk when the guy pulled her arm and caged her into an embrace.

She was frozen at where they stood. Victoria is facing the guy's chest and he can clearly hear the soft beating of his heart despite of her loud beating heart.

She felt peace just by hearing his calm heartbeat. Victoria felt a hand rubbing her back.

"Everything will be okay." after he said that, she pulled from the hug and look into his chocolate eyes.

She smiled at him, "Thanks, I'm Victoria."

"Calum Hood." he replied handing his hand for a shake.

They both shook hands as they smiled at each other. She bid goodbye then she walks home.

Victoria had no friends since her Dad left. She shut herself from her friends before even to her own mother, she barely talks to her. No one will approach her at school 'cause she'll just look at them then walks out. That is why, she's the 'Ice Queen' of their school.

"Vicky? Why are you so early? Did something happen?" ask her Mom who's in the kitchen cooking their dinner.

Victoria always got home after 6, but their class is dismissed at 5. She always went home at their dinner time and she'll lock herself on her room until tomorrow. On weekends, she busy herself browsing on her social medias and watch movies.

3 days have passed, old same routine for Victoria. She still don't talk to her mom, she don't have friends, and she always does receive messages from her father.

But the only thing that changed in her is that, she'll get to see a one-stem rose at her locker. And today, it's the fourth rose. 3 rose have been on her locker and now, there's another one. She don't want to throw it but she don't want to bring it home either, so she just put it in a cup with water in it.

Victoria just get her things and locked it again then go back to their classroom.

She was about to get her notebook to jot down their assignment but her phones keeps on vibrating in her pocket, so she simply get it and see who is it.

After reading that text, she immediately stood up, feeling shocked and shaky and ran back home as fast as she can.

"MOM!!" she rushed to all parts of their house to find her Mom, but she's nowhere to be found.

Victoria went to her room and found a note on her bedside table.

I'm sorry, Vicky. This is all my fault.

Tears started falling from her eyes, as she read that note.

So, it's true?! Victoria thought.

She finally let out her cry and sob as she call her Mom. But she's not answering it.

Victoria heard a loud knock and she immediately run down hoping it's her mother. But was shocked to see Calum on their door.

Calum hug Victoria as soon as she opens their door. She cried more when Calum hug him rubbing his back.

"W-what are you--" she was to ask what is He doing here at their house, and why is he hugging her, again.

"Sshh...Just let me. I saw you running so I run after you. I was damn worried, Victoria." said Calum like he just read her mind.

Victoria was about to ask again when she saw a rose at the ground behind Calum. Same rose as the roses sitting on her locker.

"You..." she pulled from their hug and look at Calum.

"Yeah, that's me. B-but this is not the right time to talk about it." Calum pull Victoria to their kitchen and made her sit on the stool.

Victoria watch Calum as he get water from their refrigirator and hand it to her.

"Talk. I'll listen" they stared at each other's eyes first, before Victoria let out a sigh.

"I w-was on my class when I receive a t-text." and immediately, her tears started flowing again.

Victoria handed her phone to Calum.

"This is Nurse Sarah, is this Victoria? I just want to let you that your father is rushed here in our hospital and he ask me to text you that, He love you very much and that he's sorrry for everything." 4:56 P.M.

"I'm sorry but your father didn't make it. Time of death 5:03 P.M. -Nurse Sarah" 5:03 P.M.

"M-mom left... A-and she said it's h-her fault...I don't know anymore. B-before Dad left, they always fight. They scream their heart out a-at each other... And I will just be on m-my room pretending I-i'm not hearing a-anyone. I --"

Calum hug her again "Sshhh... You're not alone in this broken home..."

And Victoria felt Calum kissed her on her head.
