Falling For You ( Jonathan Toews Fanfic)

Chapter 17

"Mom!" I exclaimed pulling her into a hug. I made sure to be gentle she looked really pale and fragile.

"Hey honey." She said weakly.

"How are you feeling?" I asked stepping away and taking a seat.

"I'm okay. Thanks so much. You saved me." She said a sad smile on her face.

"Oh mom. I'm sorry I should have been paying attention to how you where. I guess I've been a little absent lately." I made a mental note to spend more time with her.

"It's not your fault honey." She sighed before continuing." I let myself go, it was my own carelessness not yours."

"It doesn't matter. All that does matter is that you're okay now." I smiled and took her hand in mine.

"You're right, I'm getting a little tired maybe you could visit me later." She said her eyelids drooping. The doctor had said she was on pain meds that would make her sleepy so I had been expecting it.

"Okay rest up mom love you." I kissed her forehead and left.

"How did it go?" Rachael asked the second I walked out.

"Good! She's still weak and tired, but it won't be long before she can come home I'm sure."

"That's great." She squealed hugging me. My mom was almost like a mom to Rachael to so I understood why she was so happy.

"Yes!"

"Random but have you talked to Jonathan recently?" She asked raising an eyebrow.

"Uhh..." I started. Now that she mentioned it I hadn't since Sunday." No I've been busy. Hey what about your classes?" I said changing the subject.

"Oh, I skipped. Well, I told my professors first they agreed to let me go." She shrugged like it was no big deal.

"Okay. I didn't want you falling behind or something."

"Don't worry."

"It's my job." I said with laugh.

"True, true."

"Let's get the hell outta here." Rachael exclaimed linking her arm through mine. The doctor had just finished checking me over, and had proclaimed me good to go.

"Yes! Although I'll be back tonight to check on my mom."

"Of course!" Her willingness made me smile, I couldn't ask for a more supportive friend.

We walked out arm in arm to her car, which in typical Rachael style was parked as faraway as she could get.

The drive home was normal karaoke craziness. She pulled onto my street and parked the car.

"Let's go! By the way I'm staying over. Surprise!" She yelled grabbing a duffel bag out of the trunk.

"Okay." I shrugged it wasn't unusual for her to invite herself over.

"You make yourself at home I'm going to call Jonathan." I waved at her to go inside and she did so, but not before raising her eyebrows suggestively at me.

I rolled my eyes and dialed his number, he picked up on the second ring.

"Hey." He said sounding more glum then normal.

"Hey, you okay?" I asked pushing my good news aside.

"Well..." He gave a dry chuckle before continuing." Depends."

"What do you mean?" I asked worriedly.

"Me and Lindsey broke up yesterday." His voice cracked, but he quickly covered it up with a cough.
