At the graveyard Collins came to visit Angel and keep him in tabs with everyone.
As he placed the flowers next to the tombstone he took a seat on the ground and said"Hey Ang It's me. I brought you some flowers and a recent picture of everyone. I'm doing okay I moved in with Mimi Roger and Mark. I miss you so much. I don't teach much I just tutor whenever someone needs me. It's hard without you sometimes but its life I shall survive. I'm headed to a life support workshop in a little while. Everyone there really misses you and we talk about you all the time. You would have hated it. "Collins chuckled
"Anyway Mimi is hanging on the girl is really scared we almost lost her but I know you told her to come on back. Roger he is in love with Meems like it's no tomorrow he is also working on his music again. Mark is into his camera and still hung up on Maureen. As you would say boy needs some play time if you know what I mean. Joanne and Maureen don't even get me started one day off next day on. They just need to settle. "Collins looks at his watch and notices the time then commented"Oh man it's almost time for L.s I'll be back soon. Love you forever and always." As Collins gets up from the ground and sees a Man walking towards his direction.
"Tom is that you?" The mysterious man asked
"Yeah."Collins Stated
"It's me Michael from L.s! I was on my way to the meeting but I figured I stop by and bring Angel some flowers he was one of my biggest advice givers. I stopped going to life support because I was so scared but Angel convinced me to go again. "
"Oh yeah that sounds like Angel all right. He was something else."Collins commented
"Most definitely hey would you like a ride?"Michael asked
"That would be nice man thanks. Ready whenever you are. See you Ang!"Collins said
After the life Support workshop.
"Geez these meetings sometimes make me tear up."Michael commented
"That's how it is sometimes man but I got to tell you without these meetings I wouldn't have gotten to understand life more. "Collins stated
"You speak the truth. Would you like to grab some lunch?"Michael asked
"Sure why not. Is the Life Café cool?"Collins asked
"I love that place. Let's go."Michael commented
And with that Collins and Michael were off to Lunch.
Inside the loft with Mimi and is still going through Bad withdrawals. After her near death experience everyone wanted Mimi to go but to Rehab but she refused she felt as if rehab was trying to get inside her head and made her feel like she needed to rebel she didn't need people she didn't know judging her. She knew she needed help but she wanted to get clean on her own thinking it would make her a stronger person.
"ROGER! I feel like I am going to Puke!"Mimi exclaimed while clinging to the toilet
Roger embraced Mimi in a hug and said" Listen to me you are going to be all right I know it hurts take it from me I suffered through some bad withdrawals but nothing like this I honestly think you should try rehab."
With all her strength Mimi tried to get up but failed"Ugh I don't want to go I can beat this on my own just get me in bed please."
As Roger puts Mimi in bed she gets violent shakes and starts to scream."AHHH Roger please stop it it h- hhurts."
"Meems shhh I'm here just relax."Roger said while embracing Mimi
"Sssing to mmee itt will help."Mimi declared
You're not alone
Together we stand

When it gets cold
And it feels like the end
There's no place to go
You know I won't give in
No I won't give in
Keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Just stay strong
'Cause you know I'm here for you, I'm here for you
There's nothing you could say
Nothing you could do
There's no other way when it comes to the truth
So keep holding on
'Cause you know we'll make it through, we'll make it through
Before Roger could even finish the song Mimi fell asleep. The phone Rang but roger couldn't answer it because of the position he was in.
SPEAKK the answer machine played"Hey Mimi its Scarlett wondering how you have been? It's been a while since we have hooked up the boss man keeps asking for you call me when you get this.
Thirty minutes later Roger woke up realizing he dozed off. Mimi was still asleep Roger looked over at the clock and realized what time it was he and Mark had an appointment with some people who could help roger out with his music and mark with film
"Hey mark its rog. It looks like I am going to be a little late Meems had some trouble and I fell asleep. Let me set her up and I will be on my way."Roger spoke.
Roger got out of the bed adjusting Mimi. He showered and fixed Mimi a kit to help her feel better he supplied her with the remote for the TV a couple of magazines some soup and a note saying he would be back later.
Just as he grabbed his guitar and was about to leave Scarlett came in
"Hey sexy!"Scarlett screeched
"Remember I am Mimi's Boyfriend Scarlett I don't think she would like it if you referred to me as Sexy or Hot stuff or cute butt."Roger said
"Well it's all true. Where is Mimi anyway?""Scarlett asked
"She isn't feeling well going through bad withdrawal. Keep her company I have to go." Roger said as he grabbed his jacket and headed out.
"Will do."Scarlett said
As Roger left the loft to meet up with Mark. Scarlett entered the bedroom to see a shaking Mimi "Hey girlfriend I got something that will make you feel all better."
At the life Café Joanne and Maureen just got back together but Joanne felt like they needed to have a talk.
"Oh I'm so glad that we are back together. I missed you."Maureen commented as she reached for Joanne's hand
Joanne pulled her hands back and sighed "I missed you to Maureen but if we are getting back together it has to be it no more back and forth. I want this to be final."
"Way to bring the mood down."Maureen commented as she rolled her eyes. "Pookie I am not ready to commit can't you just be happy that we are together now no thinking about the future?"
"I can't do that I mean look at what happened to Roger and Mimi she almost died and Look at Collins and Angel I mean come on if you want me then be with me forever."Joanne said
"I can't okay I just can't maybe I am selfish I want you I just don't want the marriage part we can just live together forever!"Maureen shouted
"That is just like being roommates who fuck and hang out. I can't okay I love you but if can't commit to me then maybe this will be the last time we break up. I'm done it hurts me too much to say this but until you can figure out if you really want me and wish to marry me come find me."Joanne declared
Maureen was speechless she really did love Joanne but marriage to her was a big step which she wasn't ready for it she was still in her selfish phase.
Joanne stared at Maureen and said" Well I guess this is goodbye I love you Maureen."
As Maureen watched Joanne walk out the door she broke down and cried!
