Chapter 120
When I wake up again, I'm in bed. Sitting up, I open my eyes and look around. Howard's sitting to my left. Noelle's next to him, her head on his chest. I think she's asleep again. Naboo's sitting on my right with his arms folded.
They're both sitting there, watching. Howard's the first to speak.
"How are you feeling?" I don't answer him and he sighs. "Vince, I'm sorry. I haven't told him, but I had to let him know something happened." I still don't answer him.
Naboo speaks next.
"I'm not angry. Howard said you thought I would be, but I'm not."
"You will be, though." I mutter.
"I won't. I'm not angry. I'm just worried." I don't say anything. "I'm not angry at you, I'm just worried about you. Please, tell me what's wrong. I only want to help. Please let me."
"No."
"Why not?"
"You'll be angry." He goes to speak, but I interrupt him. "I know you say you won't be, but you will. When you find out, you will be."
"I won't, I promise."
"You will. Even if I did tell you, what good would it do?"
"I could help you, Vince."
"No. You couldn't."
