Love is Soundless (Discontinued)

Chapter One

Hi readers! 

So, this is my second actual 5sos fanfic, and this time it's a Cake! I've done lots of oneshots, and my first 5sos fanfic (I Just Want To Call You Mine) was a huge success, so thank you to anyone who read it! This new story is going to be completely different to anything I've ever written. There will be signing throughout the story. At the moment, I'm describing each sign, but if people want it written differently I will change it up. I won't put too many signs in each chapter, as I don't want to overwhelm all you readers. I think that's all I have to say. Please enjoy, and let me know what you think and if you want more! Please leave comments, votes, and follow me :)

Chapter One

Calum's POV

I sigh, letting the music swirl around and absorb into my ear that isn't pushed into my pillow. Not that it matters; my right ear is pretty useless now. Listening to the music made me reminisce to when this all began.

---------

It started when I was twelve. I suffered from episodes of pressure and ringing in my ears, and dizziness. I pushed through it for several months, hiding it from my family.

It was when I passed out in front of my parents, when the dizziness was so strong I couldn't hold on anymore; that they found out something was wrong.

They took me straight to the ER, and I finally confessed and told the doctors everything that I was suffering. They immediately performed a special hearing test on me, performed an MRI, and traced my medical history through my family.

When it was clear that no one else in my family had been diagnosed with anything similar, and they ruled out any other possibilities, it was then that the doctors diagnosed me with Meniere's disease.

It was kind of a shock to the doctors. We were told that it was rare for younger people to have this disease. It usually affected adults, not teenagers. Unfortunately it was something I would have to deal with for the rest of my life.

They then explained the attacks I would have. How I would have the feelings of pressure in my ear, hearing loss, loss of balance, nausea, vomiting, and dizziness that could last for a few minutes up to a few hours long.

When I went home, everything changed. I had to avoid caffeine and large amounts of sodium. Since there is no cure for the disease, I was prescribed drugs that would help me deal with the symptoms.

I was prescribed tablets for the nausea, vomiting, and balance issues, capsules daily to reduce the amount of fluids my body retains in order to relieve pressure in my ears, and pills everyday to try to help treat the disease overall.

I dealt with the symptoms, took my drugs, and tried to live my life as normally as possible. When I was fourteen, it changed for the worse.

The episodes had been happening, and my right ear was more affected then my left. One day, the episode didn't end, and my family rushed me to the hospital once again.

After more testing, it turned out I was suffering a severe case of the disease, and the reason I was still having the attack was because my hearing in my right ear was disappearing.

It was only a couple weeks after that attack that I completely lost my hearing in my right ear. I had spent those last two weeks doing everything I could with my hearing, knowing I was losing it.

Once it was gone completely in my right ear, I spent the next two months living in the hospital, as the doctors ran test after test. I had a special hearing doctor break the news to me that I was now considered hard of hearing.
