"No," I hiss.
The nurse folds her arms. "Williams-"
"No."
She sighs. "Look, you don't have to, but sh- he needs you. A friend."
"I'm not his friend."
"Connor doesn't have any other friends! And I know that if I get Seth to stay with him, he'll be royally pissed."
"Why should I care?"
The nurse's expression softens. "Because Connor won't let anyone help him, but you can. You can make him suck up his pride and fix himself."
"How do you know?"
"He talks about you sometimes."
