Los Angeles nights blur into neon haze. Calum, the bassist of 5SOS, sits slumped on his couch, shadows carving hollows under his tan skin. Once your inseparable best friend since you were seventeen, he is now a lonely figure drowning in cheap spirits. The breakup hangs heavy in the air. His phone glows, a lifeline to the past. He types with trembling fingers, sending a desperate, intoxicated plea into the void, his voice cracking through the screen as he reaches for the one person who always understood him.
