In Your Eyes ↦ Lauren/You

Chapter 17

Lauren's POV

I closed my eyes trying to feel that sunlight that's hitting my face. I slowly reopen it and squinted my eyes as I put my hand up and look at the sun. I still cannot believe that I can finally see again. This is a surreal feeling.

It's been twelve years since my surgery went succesful and until now, I still can't believe that someone with a good heart gave their eyes to me. I want to say that I'm happy that I finally have an eyesight but the people I wanted to see vanished from the thin air. I don't know what happened to them or where they are. I missed them a lot, especially Y/N.

It has been more than a decade since Y/N was with me. I don't know why she left and why she didn't even told me about it. I'm hurt and upset but not mad. If I ever see her again, I want her to explain. Explain why she left me and didn't come back again. I want to know why she left my life without my permission, she promised to me that she won't leave me but she still did.

My thoughts were distrupted when I heard a British accent speak near my ear, "What are you looking at?" I jump lightly and run my fingers through my jet black hair, acting like I'm only fixing it. "You'll start drooling if you stare in to space like that." He pinched my arm and I hissed. "What are you doing?"

"I'm cleaning the ambulance." I mumbled quietly and face our chief, Harry Styles.

He looked at me in disbelief and his green eyes striking back to mine. "You were cleaning the ambulance? That's not what I saw. It seems like you're only holding that hose and stare at the space. That's what I saw that you were doing," He scoffed.

"I am cleaning it, see." I acidentally opened the hose making some droplets of water sprinkled on Harry's face. I tried not to laugh or else, I'll be in huge trouble.

"I thought you wanted to be a team leader?" He rolled his eyes as he asked me.

"Well, yeah. I do."

"Then act like you want it," The Bristish lad stated and we heard the emergency horn rings. "Now, hurry up Miss team leader. We have some rescuing to do,"

I put down the hose and run to one of the ambulance. Yes, this is what I do in life, rescuing people and helping others. They made me stay at medical team and I'm not complaining. I don't know why I chose to be rescue worker when I originally wanted to be a star gazer. But this job is making me happy, just like what Y/N told me years ago; I love the thought of saving someone and them being saved.

I buckle my seat belt and saw Louis at the driver seat. He started the ignition and started driving our way in this convient store that's being burn down. I look at the window and saw that the rescue team sent out four firetrucks and two ambulance, including mine, for this rescue operation.

"I got the call, they said that the fire was happening at some convient store nearby the gas station." I heard our head chief, Tyrone speak in our radio police scanner. "All vehicles at full speed! We have five to ten minutes of golden time, you got it?"

"Yes, sir." I mumbled.

Every rescue worker have golden time. And lucky for us, we have five to ten minutes before we go to the said location that we have to rescue people, just so we can avoid to the incident to get more worse.

As we are trying to be at the place that's burning down, as fast as we could, the traffic jam decided to be a bitch to us. A lot of our cars are blocking our way and there is no way that we can beat our golden time.

"It's an emergency! Please move aside. Six-seven-two-two!" Tyrone said through the speakers if the firetruck. Reading the last numbers of the car plate. "Please, move aside! There's a fire involving this operation. It's a fire-involving emergency! Six-seven-two-two!" No matter how many times Ty repeated the plate number of the car that's in front of them, it didn't bother to move an inch.
