prologue; calum

it's hard to focus when the drugs wear off, craving the next high and figuring out ways to obtain it. looking for anything left in the shell of the home he now lives in, wondering if he'll ever find a way to escape the cycle he is repeating day by day. but when he wakes to the slivers of light seeping in through the blinds and the subtle chirps of the robins outside his windows, he wishes he would've changed. he didn't mean to end up like this, he never hoped his life would become this. but when he sits up to face the day he's reminded that this is his reality. and he's not sure if he'll ever be able to leave because his mind is a home he's trapped in, and he's lonely inside his mansion.

fuck. am i actually doing this?
oops guess so.

hi everyone this is my first fanfic so please be nice, i have no clue what i'm doing.

just a forewarning, this isn't your typical romance, chapters will be short, they're will be typos, and i may switch from 1st to 3rd person on accident, and i may switch from present to past tense i'M sOrRy

also this story is loosely based on the songs To Build A Home by The Cinematic Orchestra and Mansion by NF, so if you haven't listened to them i would highly recommend doing so

but anyway, please enjoy!!
