Today the landlord came over to pickup the rent because the rent was due today but my roommate wasn't home I was alone at the apartment house. I offered to give the landlord my half of the rent but he asked about my roommate’s half and I told him he should come be back on Monday when the house would be occupied.

I was pretty upset because I was reading a book when the landlord knocked really loud and the sound distracted me from the book because he came to pick up the rent but my roommate wasn’t home and he hasn’t answered his phone even though he knew the rent was do today. My roommate’s room is right next to mine I bought him red window cover to keep out the cold you think the least he could do is answer his phone because he knew the landlord was going to ask me about him.

The book is called the “Dictionary of Unendurable English” by Fiske and it is a good reading but the landlords knocking made me dog ear the book and I was upset because my roommate isn’t home and I told the landlord that Monday is a good day to catch the house occupied.

I don't like dog-earing books either, man. Sucks not having a bookmark handy.

I’m trying to figure out how I can get my roommate to work with me as a team because the landlord expects the rent, its do on Monday he collects the rent the 2 day of every month but this time my roommate was not home.

OP, I do hope you'll let us know if the rent will have been paid by next Monday. The cliffhanger is just killing me...
