Chapter 19: I Should Be Fine Without It... Or Not

Emma’s P.O.V

I frantically searched my swim bag for my inhaler. Its not there. I sighed, running my hands through my hair.

It was the next morning and I was back at the pool, but I must have forgotten to put my inhaler in my bag, which means I either swim without it or go home and not swim today…

I bit my lip glancing over at the pool. I should probably just go home and not risk it.. but… I REALLY wanna swim. It just makes my day so much better, like I start the day off on a good note. I frowned to myself, I had no idea what to do.. I took one more glance at the pool and made my decision.

 I should be fine without it right?

Liam’s P.O.V

*Buzz* *Buzz* *Buzz*

I woke up to the annoying sound of my phone vibrating against the wooden side table. I sat up and rubbed my eyes looking at the clock. 6:13? Who would be calling me this early? I groaned to myself, leaning over and picking up the still buzzing phone.

“Hello?” I said in my half-asleep morning voice.

“Hello, is this the boyfriend of Emma Montgomery?” A strange man asked. I took the phone away from my ear and glanced at the number, noticing it was an unknown number, and then returning it to my ear.

“Um yes?” I replied. It was then that I had noticed that Emma wasn’t in bed. Where was she and why was she gone so early?

“We need you to come up to the local swim and tennis club immediately and please bring Emma’s inhaler.” The man said, his voice sounding somewhat frantic but trying to stay calm.

“Um sir, what’s going on?”

“Look, a girl named Emma Montgomery is up here and is in desperate need of her inhaler, she has told us not to call an ambulance and to call you. But please hurry, if you don’t we may have to contact the hospital.”

All of a sudden I was a lot more awake. I threw my phone down not bothering to hang up or even reply to the man on the other side of the line. I grabbed a pair of shorts while running out of the room (because lets face it, I didn’t really wanna be seen in public in just my boxers) and put them on while hopping up the stairs. I ran into the kitchen, grabbing Emma’s inhaler off the counter along with the car keys.

After throwing myself into the car and hastily turning on the ignition, I sped well over the speed limit up to the local swim club where the man had said Emma was.

I stopped the car in front of the club and practically flew out of my seat, not bothering to even turn off the car. My mind was racing, playing worst-case scenarios in my head. What if I didn’t come soon enough? Will she be okay? Why does this keep happening?

I ran past the people at the front desk who were yelling at me and saying that I needed to ‘check in’ and that I ‘had to be a member’. I ran down the hall and into the sliding doors that led to the pool. I stopped at the opening searching the pool deck area for Emma, my heart racing and breathing fast from all the running.

My eyes landed on a figure surrounded by people in red lifeguard clothing. I ran towards her. I pushed my way past all the people despite their protests. Once she was in full view I felt my heart drop. There she was, the love of my life, on the floor coughing and wheezing and trying to breathe. She had tears in her eyes and when they met mine I could see sadness and how scared she was. I knelt down next to her and handed her the inhaler. Once again her eyes met mine, but this time with relief.

After she had taken the inhaler and gotten her breathing back to normal one of the lifeguards came over and handed Emma a cup of water. She smiled in thanks and graciously took the water from the mans hands.

“I’ll be right back.” I whispered in her ear as she began to drink the water. She nodded her head and continued to drink.

I stood up and walked over to the man who had handed Em the water. He nodded and led us a little ways off from the crowd and the hearing range of Emma.

“Liam Payne.” I said shaking his hand.

“Ah, you must be the boyfriend.”

“Yes sir.”

He nodded and was about to say something but I cut him off.

“What happened?” I asked in a stern voice, meaning I am talking business.

“You see sir…” and then he told me everything that he knew about what happened. How Emma was just swimming laps like any other person but then he noticed how she started to pick up the pace. Then next thing he knew she was coughing. He offered to help her but she said she was fine. Which I kind of laughed at, typical stubborn Emma. But he said as the coughing got worse and worse and he could tell that she was having a hard time breathing he decided to take charge, suggesting that he call an ambulance. Emma, of course, rejected that idea and had asked him to call me instead. And that’s where I came in.

After the man, who’s name I had learned to be John, had finished telling me the story I thanked him and then walked back over to Emma. She was sitting in a chair, towel wrapped around herself, looking guilty.

“Come on.” I said grabbing her bag. She stood up.

“Where are we going?”

“I’m taking you home, lets go.” I said firmly. To say the least I wasn’t very happy. She had gone behind my back and the doctors. She scared the crap out of me.

“What about my car?”

“One of the boys will pick it up later.”

“Oh, okay.” She half whimpered. I think she knew I was mad or at least upset, so she knew not to object to me taking her home in my car. Because there was no way I was going to let her drive herself home.

I started to walk out of the club, well more like stomping, with Emma following behind me. We walked outside to my still running car and climbed in. I pulled out of the parking lot and headed back to Emma’s home.
