Dedication to the day September 9, 2001, the day the Twin Towers collapsed.
Your P.O.V.
It was another day at work, but at the same time it was special, it was our 2 year anniversary. After work we're going for dinner. I was so excited. I couldn't believe we have been together 2 years!
I went to my office, or cubicle. Niall's cubicle was like 10 feet away from mine. He had come here from Ireland to work. At this point the U.S.'s economy was on top.
"Hey lovely. Happy anniversary!" I said to Niall when suddenly we met in the hallway. He pecked me on the cheek, "Happy anniversary to you too, love. Tonight I'm taking you to a really nice restaurant, then we'll go walk in Central Park!" "That sounds perfect." I wanted everything to go perfect. I don't expect him to propose, but still I want to be with him forever.
It was only 7:00a.m. I had a long day to go. We finished work at 6:00. I went back to my spot and kept working. "What are you going to do today, with Niall?" My co-worker asked me. Leila, she was my best friend, co-worker, like my sister. "Well Leila, we're going out for dinner." "Well I hope you both have a beautiful time!" "Thanks Leila." After our little conversation, we went back to work.
His P.O.V.
I was just so desperate. I wanted this day to pass fast so I could go out with my one and only, (Y/N). My mum called me. Shit. I have told my mum a thousand times to not call me at work I could get in trouble. "Hello, mum." I answered. "Good morning sweet-heart. Fast question. Are you going to make the big question?" "Yes mum. Tomorrow I'll tell you all about it. Bye I have to go." My mum was so happy for me she would cry every time I would tell her I wanted to get married.
I was walking by the offices when someone screamed. "Ah! Look! It's coming our way! We all ran to the other end of the building. (Y/N)! (Y/N)! Where are you! I shouted searching for her. When I saw her I wrapped her in my arms and ran towards the other people.
"What's happening?" She asked me, I could feel her shaking. When suddenly it all went dark...
Your P.O.V.
"Niall! Niall! Niall answer me!" I said with tears all over. Niall had been hit. The plane crashed. he opened his eyes. "Niall!" I said cleaning my tears and kissed him. I kissed him like I never did. I looked at him, examined his body. He was bleeding. A lot. "Niall I'll get you out of here!" I was crying again when he opened his eyes. "(Y/N)?" "Yes Niall?" I said hugging him. "What ha..." "A plane crashed." I explained cutting him off. "I'm not going to be okay..." He said. Tears and more tears started to fall. He wiped them. "Niall I'll help you, I swear, I'll get you out of here."
Another explosion, the second tower. "Niall we'll get out!" I said sniffing. The last thing I wanted to do was lose him.
I heard sirens, the police, and firemen.
I saw people commit suicide; they threw themselves of the tower.
The firemen started to get people out.
"(Y/N), I know I'll not make it, so I will rather do this know before I regret it when I die." He said trying to cover up that he was in pain. Tears, my heart raced. "(Y/N), will you have the honor to be my wife? Forever and always?" He asked me while pulling a ring out of the pocket in his suit. I couldn't believe he asked. "Yes Niall, I swear I will love you forever and always." I leaned down and kissed him again like it was the end of the world.
"I love you, (Y/N), always have always will." "I love you too. And I will for all eternity." I pecked him on the lips. Suddenly he stopped. He stopped breathing. "Niall, Niall!" I yelled and pat his face. "Niall!" I said one last time and burst into tears. "(Y/N), come on!" Leila found me. "No!" I yelled. "Come on!" I kissed his cold, pale lips. One last time. I let go of his hand, and grabbed the box that the ring came in.
I left with Leila. The police was asking questions about us. He asked me if I was married. I said "Yes, yes I am." Then he asked us to whom and if he worked here. "He worked here, his name is Niall Horan."
My mum rapidly came to get me she was a lot of blocks away. I walked with Leila towards the car. "Darling!" my mum ran towards me, Leila's mum was there too and came in for a hug from Leila.
We went home and got cleaned, Leila was covered in ashes and dust, I was covered in ashes, dust and my husband’s blood. My mum noticed the ring. "What's that?" 'I'm married mum, I'm married to Niall." I answered with a tear stream down my face. I will always remember him.
*The song is 'Young And Beautiful' from Lana Del Rey, featured in the movie and soundtrack 'The Great Gatsby'. I know the song has really nothing to do with the story, but while I wrote this that was one of the songs that I heard.*
