Calum Hood Sad Imagine

What About Angels

You’ve noticed lately that Calum has been a bit down, and you’ve tried to cheer him up, but nothing seems to be working. If that wasn’t bad enough, tomorrow was his birthday, and he says he doesn’t want to celebrate.

“Calum, are you sure that you-”

“Yes (Y/N), I’m sure. Can you please leave it alone?” He asks, sighing. You can’t help but wonder what’s happened, but every time you bring it up, he just denies being different.

“Are you sure you’re okay, Calum? You’ve been very down recently, are you sure you don’t need me to do anything?” You ask, hoping that he’ll open up.

“I’m sure, Princess, I just want to be alone,” he mutters, placing the comforter over his head and cocooning himself in the bed.

“I’ll be downstairs if you need me,” you say and push yourself out of bed, but instead of going downstairs, you stand outside of your bedroom door, out of Calum’s sight.

Watching, your eyebrows furrow in confusion as he gets out of bed and walks into your ensuite bathroom.

You tiptoe through the bedroom, and stand outside of the bathroom, peaking inside to see Calum standing at the mirror, running his hands through his hair.

You breathe in sharply as you see the tears in his eyes, threatening to pour over.

“Why do they all hate me?” He whispers to himself, the tears now freely falling.

You watch as the man that you’ve always seen as strong, bold, and brave, falls apart in front of you. You watch as he slowly crumbles to the ground, and all you want to do is save him.

“Maybe they’re right…” He mutters. Then he sits on the bathroom floor and puts his head between his legs, sobbing now.

Your heart breaks as you hear the strangled noises coming from him. And as much as being alone might help him, you can’t just stand there.

You rush forward, sitting on the floor next to him and taking him in your arms.

He lets you, and places his head on your shoulder as you rub his back. He cries and cries, letting out all of the built up emotion that he’s been holding inside. And you let him, after all the times that he’s been your shoulder to cry on, it’s about time that you return the favor.

“I’m- I’m sorry (Y/N). You shouldn’t have to see me like this,” Calum says, sitting up and wiping his eyes, then looking away from him. But you won’t let him think that. You place your hands on both sides of his face and turn it so that he was looking directly at you.

“No Calum, listen to me. When we started dating, I signed up for this. I knew what I was getting myself into, and I’m still here, because I love you. And now there’s nothing you can do to scare me away.”

“You may love me, but no one else does,” he says, and tears start to fall down his cheeks again. You wipe them away with your thumb, and place a kiss on his forehead.

“First, it’s impossible not to love you, Calum. You’re fun, and carefree, but you can be serious, and caring at the same time. You’re always there for your friends and family, and no matter what you do, it always cheers people up. Even though you don’t realize it, you’ve saved so many people you don’t even know, just by doing what you love. And second, maybe, for some stupid, unknown reason, somebody doesn’t love you. That one person shouldn’t matter compared to those other four million people, because you’re amazing Cal, and you should never change. It makes me sick to think that people could never love you, because you’re so perfect, so indescribably perfect, that whoever doesn’t think so must be deranged in some sick way. You’re a beautiful person, Calum Hood, and don’t let anyone else tell you otherwise.”

He doesn’t say anything, he just looks into your eyes, and you truly see how broken he is. How much those people saying things about him actually hurt him. How, no matter what you say, he’ll always be broken, and trying to talk to him is only putting a band aid on a broken leg.

“(Y/N)....” He whispers, but you just place your finger over his mouth.

“No, Calum, I’m not done. Why can’t you see that there are so many people out there that love you. That worship you like you’re some kind of god, because you are Calum, you are. All you do is spread love in this world, and to see someone who gives so much love not getting any in return breaks my heart, and I wish I could fix you. I wish that I could just say something and everything would be okay, but I know the world doesn’t work that way. And I know that you’ll always be broken, but whenever you need me, I’ll be here. I love you Calum, I love you so much.”

“I love you, too, (Y/N), and without you to tell me these things, I’m not sure that I’d be here…” he mutters, and your heart shatters.

Not only did he save millions of strangers, but he also saved you. He saved you from the dark demon that was yourself.

“You’re such a strong person, Cal. But I understand that even Superman has weak moments, and I’m just glad that I can be here to help you through yours,” you tell him, and he just responds by pressing his lips to yours.

When you pull away, you’re crying, too, but because you’re so grateful to have him by your side, and there’s no way that you could ever thank him.

“I’ve decided what I want to do tomorrow,” Calum says, and you’re glad that he finally agreed to celebrate his birthday.  

“I just want to have a small party with you and the lads, because I don’t need anything else, I just need you,” he says, and you smile, letting a tear slip down your cheek.

That night, you take a sharpie, and on your wrist, you write ‘everything’ followed by ‘1-25-96’ and ‘MMXII’. You then take a picture, and post it on twitter, followed by the hashtag #calumsbirthdayproject.

When you wake up the next morning, you see Calum on his phone, scrolling through all of the pictures fans have posted, and you can see him smiling. Really smiling.

What he doesn’t know, is that he really is everything to you.
