"That's your question?" Andrew asks despite himself.
"It is." Neil says not looking out at him, "You can think about it. I don't need the answer right away I guess." Neil says.
Is he happy?
He thinks about his life, more specifically his life after Alex. He still wants to find his friend, wants to thank you and smack him over the head for the risk he took. He thinks about having a brother, having a cousin, and even his friendships with Renee and Kevin.
"Why do you want to know?" Andrew asks.
"It's still my turn Andrew." Neil reminds.
Is he happy?
"I wouldn't call it happy." He says because Andrew doesn't do that.
"What are you then?" Neil asks.
"Why do you want to know?" Andrew returns.
"I care about you, I'd like for you to at least be...content with your life." Neil answers.
Content feels safer, feels less like an admission.
"I'm content." Andrew gives back and Neil smiles still not looking at Andrew at all.
"That's good. I'm glad." Neil pushes himself away from the ledge, "See you tomorrow Andrew." he says leaving Andrew alone on the roof.
actually the only way I've kept momentum is posting as I go so I'm going to post the last three pages and add it to the masterpost proper when I'm done
