8 Hour Love Story..
This is an Alternate Universe fic…I'm trying to do something a bit different…I don't own RENT or it's characters I do own any original characters you may see…
Mark Cohen had always wanted to be a famous director, however he was to afraid to leave his home and head out to LA. One day however his dream would become a reality. He was sitting in his small studio apartment opening his mail when the phone rang.
"Mark," said Roger Davis on the other end, "I am latterly begging you to shoot my video for me."
"Why can't you hire a professional," said Mark.
"I don't want a professional," said Roger, "I want someone new and different who also happens to be my best friend."
"I'm sure I'm not your best friend rock star," said Mark, "I'm surprised you even think of us little people."
"The people here are fakes," said Roger, "you're real."
"And what do I get," said Mark, "If I do say yes."
"Exposure," said Roger, "a brake."
"And where do you suppose I'd stay," said Mark.
"I have plenty of room here," said Roger.
"And your girlfriend of the month won't mind," said Mark.
"You should know not to believe the tabloids," said Roger.
"Fine," said Mark, "I'll do it."
"I knew I could count on you," said Roger hanging up.
Mark looked at what little stuff he owned and began to pack.
TWO DAYS LATER…
Mark walked off the plane and saw his best friend surrounded by young girls.
"Thank you," said Roger, "I love you guys too."
He headed to his friend.
"Mark," said Roger, "welcome to LA."
"Thanks," said Mark, 'so when do we start to work."
"Well I have to go to this party tonight," said Roger, "come with me."
They were now in Roger's car being driven to his house.
"I can't," said Mark, "I don't belong at one of your fancy celebrity parties."
"Yes you do," said Roger.
The car arrived in front of a building.
"This is where you live," said Mark.
"Yep," said Roger, "penthouse right on top."
"So about the party," said Mark.
"Don't worry," said Roger, "I'll coach you."
