Demons
Summary: Caledon Hockley's life was anything but glamorous. It was filled with darkness adn despair. Starting from his birth, to the day it all came crashing down. This is my version of the backstory of Titanic's "Misunderstood Millionaire".
Disclaimer:I do not own Titanic or Caledon Hockley. They both belong to the wonderful, James Cameron.
A/N:Hey guys! I've been wanting to write Cal's backstory for a long time now! I really hope y'all enjoy, and please tell me what you think in a review! I love to know I'm not wasting my time! :) Enjoy! :)
Preface
October, 30th, 1929- Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania
Caledon Hockley sat at his desk with a letter dangling fron his fingertips. He wasn't exactly looking at it. He already knew what it said. It was gone. All gone. The wealth he had built for himself with sleepless nights and throbbing headaches was gone. He felt so foolish.
At that moment, the hard, stone walls surrounding his heart came crashing down. There was no money left, and therefor, no reason to live.
He slowly rose from his desk and went over to a cabient. He pulled out a shiny, silver pistol. The only object that mattered to him anymore.
He stared at it for a few moments, and then went back to his desk. He sat down again, and pulled out some paper. He wrote 3 letters. One to his bastard of a father, one to his wife, Louise, and one to the one person he never forgot. Rose Dawson.
Once he had said his goodbyes, Cal leaned back and thought about the hellish jumble events called his life.
He remembered his childhood full of abuse and pain. His adolescence filled with numerous hangovers and one night flings with girls with no names. Then, he remembered adulthood, and how the cracks had began to show in his perfect world.
He wasn't perfect, and he knew that. He had his flaws. He was only human.
Then, he raised the silvery gun to his head with silent tears streaming down his cheeks. He pulled the trigger qucikly. So he wouldn't have any regrets. Not like he was going to anyway.
The last thing he remembered was the bitter poison of lead.
Please review! I want to know what you guys think! I will have the first chapter up soon!
Until then,
Xo, Maggie.
