Chapter 125
I don't know where I am. I don't know what's going on. I just know that I feel good. I shift slightly as my memories of the night before start to come back. Noelle was annoyed, so was Naboo. Howard wasn't annoyed. Howard had held me when I was upset. He'd given me a hug, and told me I deserved it. He'd told me it hadn't been my fault when Noelle was hurt.
I realise I've been asleep and open my eyes. I try to pull myself up so I'm sitting, but I can't. Something's holding me down. Looking down, I see that it's Howard's arm. I shake it gently.
"Howard?" I whisper. "Howard, let me up." He makes a noise, evidently not yet fully awake. "Howard." I say a little louder, shaking his arm again.
"I wasn't asleep!" He exclaims, jolting awake.
"Of course not."
"I wasn't!" I don't reply. "At least I didn't fall asleep on my best friend's chest." He says, poking my side. I groan in embarrassment.
"I didn't, did I?" He just laughs. "Don't tell anyone."
"I don't know, I might keep it as future blackmail material."
"Don't you dare." He just laughs again.
