Nervous (A Shawn Mendes x Niall Horan Fanfic) ✅

(Part 34)

Shawn's POV

I was panicking as Niall passed out.

"Niall?" I asked as the phone rang. "Niall! Wake up!"

"Hello?" the 911 operator asked, answering the phone and getting my attention.

"I'm saved," I mumbled before speaking up for the operator to hear me. "Hi, I was just in a car accident with my boyfriend and he passed out." My words were rushed and it would be a miracle if the operator understood what I was saying.

"So, you and your boyfriend got into a car accident?" the operator asked, making sure they heard me correctly.

"Yes," I said, realizing how shaky my voice was. "And now, he's passed out in the car and I don't know what to do and I'm honestly starting to panic right now."

"Alright, I'm going to need you to calm down for me," the operator said in a calm voice.

"I don't know how," I said, feeling my body begin to shake.

"Breathe," the operator said. "In through the nose and out through the mouth."

I took a few deep, shaky breaths before looking at Niall again.

"Are you a little calmer now?" the operator asked.

"A little," I responded.

"Okay, can you tell me where you are?" the operator asked.

"N-no," I stuttered. "I have no idea where I am."

"Alright, give me a minute," the operator said.

"Okay," I said before turning to look at Niall. "It'll all be okay."

I grabbed Niall's limp hand, hoping it would help but it only made me feel worse. If he were in my shoes, he'd handle the situation a lot better than how I'm doing.

"Are you still there?" I heard the operator ask.

"Yeah, I'm still here," I said.

"We sent an ambulance for your boyfriend," the operator said. "But I need you to stay calm until the ambulance gets to your location."

"I can try," I said. "No promises though."

"Sir, please try and stay calm," the operator asked.

"I said that I'd try! But it's kind of hard after you've been in an accident and your boyfriend is passed out in the seat next to you!" I said before realizing my sudden outburst and beginning to feel guilty. "I'm sorry. That was uncalled for and no way to treat someone who is trying to help."

"It's okay," the operator said as I started to hear sirens in the distance.

"I can hear the ambulance," I stated.

"Alright, I'm going to let you go so you can tell the paramedics what happened," the operator said.

"Okay, thank you," I said.

"No problem, it's my job," the operator said before the line went dead.

I looked back over at Niall and lightly caressed his cheek. "Everything's going to be alright," I said, unsure if I was trying to convince myself or my unconscious boyfriend.

Soon enough, the ambulance was parked near the car and all of their attention was on Niall. I only sat and watched until one of the paramedics opened my door and looked at me.

"Do you feel alright?" they asked.

"I'm a little scared," I said.

"Why?" the paramedic asked.

"I'm just scared for him," I pointed at Niall.

"He'll be alright," the paramedic said. "Right now, I'm worried about you."

"Why? What's wrong with me?" I asked.

"We're going to have to cut the dashboard to get you out," the paramedic said.

"What?" I asked before looking down at my legs to see that the dashboard was barely an inch away from my legs. "Shit."
