The Roommate: A Mathew Barzal Fanfiction

27. Mathew

It's been five days, yup! It sounds so pathetic but I have been counting the days since Jade officially ended everything. I have been calling and texting her non-stop, but she's ignoring it all.

I've just spent the rest of my day inside my room, playing video games and binge watching movies to distract myself. I didn't went back to Edmonton, I just can't do interviews and meet fans, looking enthusiastic and shit.

So I spent a one week of day off inside my room, refusing to go out. The couples are worried of me, especially Anders. I want to get drunk as fuck but I can't because I'm in the middle of the game season. Coach Trotz will surely kick my balls if I became a huge slack on the ice because of drinking. So I didn't.

I can't stop thinking about my girlfriend. How is she? Has she been drinking? Crying? I want to know how she is. I fucking want her back! I want to explain myself, I want her to listen to me-- to believe me that everything that she saw was not true and that it was just a stupid mistake Pauline did.

I didn't cheated on her!

As I stare on the TV screen I couldn't help the tears run down my face. Fuck! I haven't cried because of a girl for ages. Heck! I don't even remembered crying because of a girl before.

I wiped the tears cursing under my breath and stood up! This isn't right. I need to talk to her. I'll find her.

For sure Tori knows her address, I'll have to ask her. I would totally beg just for her to tell me, I need to fix this.

I took a shower and dressed into some black jeans, a gray shirt and black bomber jacket. I tied my shoes as quick as possible and head downstairs. On the way down I saw Anders about to run upstairs looking so pale.

"Bro, I need some help." He quickly said and run. I followed him right away totally confused.

"What's happening?" I asked him as he busy himself stuffing some of Tori's clothes on his Islander gym bag.

"Tori is bleeding." Anders said. He's clearly trying to act calm but the way he stuffed all the clothes on the bag he's definitely freaking out. "I think the baby is coming out."

And so am I, especially when I heard Tori screaming on the other room.

"Shit!" I cursed in the air. "I thought she's giving birth next month."

"We thought so too." Anders said under his breath and throw the bag on me. "Get the car ready."

I quickly did shuffling my keys as I run out of the house. Fuck! I cannot believe how freaky this kind of situation are. Few seconds passed, we hit the road. I'm honestly shaking especially every time I hear Tori's heavy breath as she tries to punch Anders' chest.

"This is your fault!" She keeps on screaming that I couldn't help but laugh at the same time. "Stop laughing and drive fast Barzal!"

I stopped laughing. Shit! You don't mess with a pregnant woman who's about to give birth.

"Anders, call Jade for me please." Tori said which suddenly made me ache and feel excited that I'm finally going to see her after so many days.

The doctor said that we are fortunate enough that we rush Tori at the hospital right away. She's having a pre-mature baby and that accordingly, giving birth when you're eight months along is quite dangerous.

Anders and I are waiting outside the operation room because Tori was suggested to undergone C-section. I sat on one of the benches in there as I watch Anders walking back and forth. He's of course nervous, dying even thinking about his baby and wife.
