Falling For You ( Jonathan Toews Fanfic)

Chapter 10

I slammed my fist into the wall again, and broke down sobbing. I slid to the floor and lay there holding my fist and crying. I got up accidentally banging my head on my sink in the process. I yelped from the pain, which I actually felt since I had calmed down a little. I felt dizzy and the world was swimming streaks of color mixing with the blackness creeping in at the edges of my vision. I put a hand on the sink to steady myself and tried to clear my vision, but everything faded to black.

I didn't know how long I had layed there passed out, but when I opened my eyes it was dark out. I groaned at the pounding headache I had and sat up slowly. Everything that happened came flooding back and I looked at my hand. It was still covered in blood, and sore when I moved it. I stood up wincing as the pain in my head increased. I looked at the clock on the wall it read 6:00. Yikes I'd been out for two and a half hours! I was surprised my mom hadn't come in to check on me yet.

I got my hand cleaned up and wiped my hand across my forehead. I felt something stiff and dry , my head must have been bleeding to. I looked in the mirror and sure enough there was dried blood in my hair and on my head. I didn't feel like taking a shower so I washed the blood out of my hair using the sink. I bandaged my hand, and grabbed a pill for my headache. I swallowed it and walked slowly to my bed. I sat down my head in my hands. I couldn't believe my parents, who seemed so in love, would be divorcing soon.

And to think, my dad blamed it on me. I didn't know why he always seemed nice enough to me, except occasionally when he would get mad and yell. But I'm sure every dad did.

My headache was slowly fading, and my hand wasn't throbbing at much. I really wasn't hungry but my mom would want me to eat anyway. I went downstairs to see if mom was down there. She was standing in the kitchen making some dinner and humming softly to herself.

"Hey mom."

"Hey." She said. She looked up with red eyes, but a small smile on her face. She gasped when she saw the bruise on my head and my wrapped hand. "What happened?"

"Oh I bumped my head on the sink, and I slipped and fell on my wrist." I said which wasn't a total lie.

"Are you okay?" She asked worriedly.

"Yeah, yeah I'm fine." I said.

"Okay." She said and left it at that.

"What's for dinner?" I asked.

"I'm just making some ham sandwiches." She said gesturing the ham she had out.

"Sounds good." I wanted to ask her about dad, but I decided against it.

"Your dad is staying at his friends house." She said pressing her lips together to stop from crying.

I nodded and sat on the bar stool across from where she was making the sandwiches. She put the sandwiches on plates along with chips. She handed one to me and she sat at the table. I really wasn't hungry at all, but I forced myself, for the sake of my mom, to sit and eat dinner with her.

We didn't talk at all and we were both aware of the empty chair at the table. I could barely eat and I felt sick. I finished half of my sandwich and managed a few chips. I got up and took my plate to the counter I set it down.

"Honey you need to eat." She said sighing.

"No mom I can't!" I snapped immediately regretting it when a look of pain flashed across her face.

"Okay, your right go." She said quietly not meeting my eyes.

I went upstairs and vomited up what I had eaten. I brushed my teeth to get the bad taste out of my mouth, and went and lied on my bed.
