Enjoy. Review would be appreciated. They would make me decide to continue the story.
Mimi stood up to grab a ticket from the counter when Angel asked, "Mimi-chica, is it o.k. if I go downstairs to the cafeteria to get a drink?
Mimi answered, "Sure, just as long as you grab me a hot choc too!" Angel smiled and ran to the lift. She smiled and started reading another pamphlet: "THE 101 ON HIV AND AIDS." After two minutes of the "101", Mimi lifted her head and saw a young girl crying in the corner. Mimi stood up and walked over to the girl and tried to comfort her.
The girl looked up and asked, "Who are you? GO AWAY! You'll get it too. Leave me alone to die. Just go. I don't want to hurt you."
Mimi knew what she was talking about. This girl had AIDS. Mimi was now wearing a look that only Angel would recognise- the deep in thought look. Mimi was starting to remember what her reaction was when she first found out she had AIDS.
When Mimi first found out she was HIV- positive, she had just run away from home and had only her childhood friend, Angel to support her. Fortunately, Angel had HIV too and knew how to help Mimi along the way too. The girl cried out again and Mimi immediately came out of her daze and back into the real world. Mimi slowly said, "Listen honey! Firstly, take a breath. Secondly, HIV is mainly transmitted through blood, sexual intercourse and child birth. Thirdly, honey…. "Mimi held up her pamphlet, "Don't worry. I already have HIV."
The girl stopped crying and wiped her tears with the tissue Mimi had given her. She took a breath and said, "I'm sorry. I'm April. Is what you said true?"
"Yeah. Of course. I wouldn't lie to you." Mimi answered. Angel came out of the lift and walked over to them, "Oh my god! Do you guys know that the chairs are much more comfortable than the floor? Unless, of course…."
Angel and Mimi laughed and helped April onto one of the chairs. Angel smiled, "Hi. I'm Angel. Mimi's my best friend. "
April grinned, "Hey. I'm April. Are you also-"
"Yeah, Angel and I both have check -ups today, "Mimi cut in. A nurse walked out with her clipboard and called Mimi Marquez. A minute later, another nurse came out and called Angel's name.
Angel said her goodbyes to April and walked into the hospital room. 15 minutes later, Angel and Mimi came out of the room and saw April still sitting in the waiting room.
Mimi said, "April, what are you still doing here?"
