Chapter 93
"Where's Noelle?" He looks at me, hesitating.
"You need to get some more sleep." He changes the subject, obviously hoping that I won't continue the conversation. But I won't drop it that easily.
"Howard? Where is she?" I push. He sighs.
"She's in her room. She hasn't come out since we got you back. Naboo didn't want her to come, neither did I, but she did. You were in a pretty rough state. She won't talk to anyone." Before he's finished, I'm out of bed and on my way to the door. Howard appears in front of me, blocking my path. "No. You need rest, and she doesn't want to see anyone. Go back to bed."
"She's my little sister and she's upset. I have to go and help her!"
"You shouldn't be out of bed."
"I have to help her." I say firmly, trying and failing to push past him.
"Look, go back to bed and I'll go and talk to her, ok? If she's ready, she can come and see you. If she's not, you can wait." With a huff, I turn and walk back to the bed. I wouldn't admit it, but I'm glad to be lying down. Standing up was really difficult. My legs had felt weak and shaky. Howard smiles and leaves the room.
