Chapter 29

Kay I wake up to a noisy room, and I groan. Fuck, they're hurting my ears. "Keep your voice down," Carl snaps, and I whine in frustration. Guess the effect of the painkillers has finally worn out cause my head hurts like no one's business. I open my eyes and I'm surrounded by all of Carl's friends, including Theo. They're all sitting on my bed, none of them aware that I am awake. Marcello's voice is the loudest, even the black eye and busted lip don't stop his mouth from running. I wonder who he fought. Theo is on my other side, going through his phone while Carl and the others are on my right, discussing whatever. "Hey," I mumble, startling Theo, and he almost drops his phone. Looks like Theo is into naughty stuff because this is the second time he's behaving the same way. "I'm sorry, princess, that day you visited me, I wanted to warn you about something, but I forgot," he says in one breath, and I stare at him with raised brows. Is that how you acknowledge a friend who almost died?
