Chapter 35: To Death

"LUKE!" Neil yelled as he opened the door and entered. He was carrying a pile of books in one hand and a grocery bag in the other.

I sat up straight, my back against the headboard as I placed my phone done. "Did you have to yell?" I asked with a sigh. "I'm sure everyone on the floor could hear you from Mars if they wanted to."

Neil huffed as he walked over and dumped the books on the bed, just narrowly missing my legs that were under the covers. "A great friend would have asked if I needed help," he said with a huff as he sat down on the bed, making me scoot over to give him room. "But nope, you just chastised me for being a great friend and now I feel hurt by your words."
