DISCLAIMER: I DO NOT OWN ANY OF THESE CHARACTERS!!!!!!!!

This is a one-shot... but if you would want me to continue... review me!

ROGER POV

"Mimi!" I ran up behind her. "I heard- are you really leaving?"

"Yes, Roger."

"I'm going to a clinic in Santa Fe. It's really good there. They'll help me. With my drugs and my AIDS."

"I'll go with you!"

"No, Roger. I have to do this, alone."

"When are you coming back?"

"I don't know. Could be weeks, months... years."

"Mimi?"

"Yes?"

"I-"

"Yes?"

I sighed. "See you when you come back."

"Oh.. you to."

MARK POV

The phone rang. SPEAK.

"MARK!!!!"

"Mimi?!" I picked up the phone quickly.

"You're back!"

"Yeah! Throw down the keys!"

"Sure thing!"

Minutes later, there was a knock on the door.

"Hey Mimi! Haven't seen you in a few!"

"Yeah. About a year. Is Roger here?"

"No. Haven't seen him either."

"What?!"

"You should sit down."

MIMI POV

"You should sit down."

Oh god. What happened?

"Mimi, after you left, Rogers' system broke down."

I froze, I didn't want to hear what was coming next.

"When he went in for an appointment and an AZT break... The doctor called. He never showed."

It hit me hard and cold. Roger was dying... alone. I started to cry.

"We've all been looking. Even Benny. We'll find him."

I nodded, but it was hard to look on the bright side. Until I heard Maureen calling from downstairs.

"MARK!!!! MARK!!!"

We both ran to the window. Maureen, Collins, and Joanne were standing on the street, trying to pull Roger out of the car.

"WE NEED HELP!!"

I was down the stairs before the count of three. I ran to their side. "Roger!"

"Mimi."

he chocked out. "It's okay." I turned to the others. Mark was with us too now, "WHAT ARE YOU WAITING FOR! COME ON!" We worked together to get him inside. We cleared off the table and laid him there. "Roger. Roger, can you hear me?"

"Mimi...you- you came back. cough."

"Of course I did. I will always come back." I bit my lip. "Honey, you have to stay with me. I die... without you..." He lifted his hand to my cheek.

"I should... tell you..."

I smiled "I should tell you. I blew the candle out... just to get back in..."

"I should tell you I'd forgotten how to smile... until your candle burned my skin... I should tell you.. I love y-"

The sudden silence was torture. "Who do you think you are... leaving me alone with your guitar... I saved the last dance for you babe." I held him close. It was all over. But then I heard the most beautiful sound in all the world. A cough. "Roger! You're alive!"

"I was in a tunnel..."

"Roger..."

"I was heading toward a bright, white, light, and Angel was there. And Collins, she looked good!"

He turned to face me. He took my hands and looked me in the eye.

"And she said: Turn around boyfriend... and don't leave that girl lonely."

I smiled, laughing a bit. As we held each other in a warm embrace...

"There is no future... there is no past... Thank god this moments not the last!"
