Is Niall Horan really my soulmate?

Chapter 30 - Part 2

Niall's POV

A police car, fire truck and animal ambulance showed up and blocked off a ton of the intersection. The cops asked me some questions about the car who blew the intersection and luckily (because of my sharp memory) I remembered the license plate number. I gave it to the police officers and what the car looked like if the number wasn't right. After the cops sped off I called Emily. I looked back to see the firefighters desperately trying to pry the seat off.

"Hello?" she asked. Boy, does her voice calm me down.
"Yeah Emily um how do I tell this to you..oh uh-" Emily cut me off with a sigh.
"I heard. Listen, I'm on my way. Just please stay calm and don't worry. Dogs can sense fear ya' know."
"Okay babe, see ya' there."
"I love you"
"Stay safe Emily. Love you too. "

We do these weird kissy noises before we hang up as a new tradition so we did that before we hung up.

I looked over to see a fireman coming over to me. This can't be good.

"Mr. Horan-" He said before I cut him off.

"Please, call me Niall" I corrected

"Okay, Niall, I have no idea how but that dog is really wedged in there. I've never seen anything like it. Your dog is almost out but her paw is stuck between something. I just came to ask if it was alright if we used the jaws of life to tear off your seat." The fireman said.

"Yeah..that's fine. I can always catch a ride with my girlfriend who's on her way."

The firefighter quickly turned around and nodded at the other firefighters and gave a thumbs up. I could hear them tearing away at my car seat but that didn't matter at this point. I just want my dog safe. The firefighter turned back around and started speaking again.

"Okay. Second, your dog will definitely need emergency surgery to clean the wounds and remove any debris."

"How long will that take? My girlfriend, dog and I have a photo shoot to go to later today." I worriedly asked.

"Sorry sir, is there any way to postpone it? I'm guessing this will take an hour or two, at least."

I sighed. "Okay then. Anything for the dog."

I turned around to see Emily arguing with a cop who was not letting her in.

"But I'm his girlfriend!" She pulled up pictures of us on her phone but the officer shook his head.

"Do you know how many people said that to us today? Move along before we have to bring you to jail."

"OFFICER WAIT!" I yelled. Emily's face lit up as she saw me. "She is in fact my girlfriend. Let her in."

The officer looked at me weirdly before moving a gate to let her in.

I brought Emily over to the car. After her eyes laid upon the bloody car seat, I immediately felt a head pushed into my chest. I looked down and she was sobbing. My hand started caressing her head as a reporter came up to us.

"Mr. Horan, what's going on?"
"Sorry mate, but does this seem like a good time to ask right now?"
"Uh yeah. Why wouldn't it be?"
"Okay listen-"

I started to walk towards the reporter as he started to back up.

"Niall please," Emily said. She put her petite hand on my chest, pulling me back.

"Okay dude, sorry." The reporter said.

A firefighter walked over with a bloody fur ball in his hands. It took my brain a second to register what he was holding. Emily instantly reached out but the firefighter pulled her away.

Tears streamed down her face and I wiped them away. I have to be the strong one here even though my eyes are tearing up.

"It's gonna be okay Emily, I promise."

She looked at me straight in the eyes.

"How do you know?" She replied. I shrugged my shoulders and hugged her tight.

"Niall," a man said. I looked up and it was the firefighter who talked to me earlier. His name tag read 'Chief'.

"Your dog came out from under the seat better than anticipated. She'll be okay, and maybe able to leave the hospital today. She'll have stitches, that's for sure. Just make sure that she doesn't go too crazy, her stitches will come right out."

I nodded and we shook hands. He hugged Emily and then jumped back into his fire truck.

"So I guess I'll have to call the photographer and tell him we won't be in today, huh?" I asked Emily.

"Yeah I guess.." she replied with a sigh.

I kissed her head then walked away from where we were standing. My fingers dialled his number. He didn't pick up his phone, so I left a message.

"Hey, listen dude," I started. "I'm sorry for the super short notice but I can't come in today for the photo shoot. Hopefully we can come up with a different time to have them taken. Text me back on this number so we can work out a new time. Okay, thanks."

Emily looked over to me with tears in her eyes. I ran over to her as fast as I could, holding her in my arms. She started sobbing uncontrollably as I held the back of her head in my hand.

"Hey, hey, hey." I said.

My arms were wrapped around her as I thought of something, would this be a good time to propose? I got her attention and wiped her tears.

"Listen here," I started to say. "Emily Katherine, I love you more than anybody has loved anyone else before. I hope you know that." She looked confused. "Niall what are you -" I got on one knee and continued what I was doing with her hands in mine.  All of a sudden cameras started flashing and I knew exactly who it was, so I kept going. Emily realised what I was doing at this point. She started crying again. One of my thumbs came up to her face to wipe it away.

"I know this really isn't a good time. But I honestly really do hope that you know I have no idea what I would do without you. You're the sunshine in my life. When I'm stressed we can just talk it out and thats what I love about you. You're so calming and thoughtful. Emily," my hans fumbled in my pocket for the box and I finally grabbed a hold of it and pulled the clunky box out. The camera started flashing like crazy now."Will you marry me?" I opened the box revealing a beautiful ring that I designed just for her. "Yes Niall, is that even a question?" she replied with tears running down her face.
