Chapter 1: The Fight

Angel looked around the empty hallway then made her way up the stairs. She had found a litter of five kittens without there mother who he saw dead in the street a block or two away. She had stored the kittens in her sweater knowing chance of her keeping them if she was caught. She slowly snuck to Roger, Mark, Collins and her loft apartment and opened the door. The whole group was there. Mimi and Roger snuggled by the window. Joanne was sitting on a char with Maureen on her lap and they were busily talking. Collins and Mark sat on the couch; Collins was reading the newspaper while Mark played around with his camera. Collins lowered the newspaper as soon as he saw Angel the love of his life.

"Hey baby." Collins said smiling.

"Hey" Angel replied quickly making her way towards her and Collins' room.

"Baby what you have?" Collins asked laying the paper down.

"Nothing" Angel replied nervously.

"Baby I know your hiding something." Collins said standing up.

"Leave me alone." Angel yelled going into the room and slamming the door.

Collins turned to the rest of the group he wondered what he was hiding or what was wrong.

"She's hiding something."

"What makes you so sure?" Mimi said looking at him.

"She didn't greet me like she always does. You know with a kiss. Plus I saw a bulge in the front of her coat." Collins replied.

"Now that I think about it, I noticed a bulge in her coat too." Maureen exclaimed.

"Was he talking to you?" Joanne asked Maureen frowning.

"As a matter of fact he was addressing us all." Maureen replied slightly annoyed.

"He was replying to what Mimi asked."

"He was talking to all of use when he told us Angel was hiding something." Maureen slightly yelled.
"You think you need to know everything that's going on don't you." Joanne said standing up.

"Pookie, you don't want to know what's wrong with Angel or what he has?"

"Yes, but unlike you I can wait." Joanne replied coldly.

"What if he never tells us?"

"He will eventually." Joanne said rolling her eyes.

"Leave if you don't like what I am doing." Maureen said standing up in front of her.

"Fine I will." Joanne yelled as she went to the door, slamming it as she left.

Angel sat on the bed, the kittens slept in curled up balls on the warm comforter. He rolled his eyes at the argument. Again Maureen and Joanne were yelling. Collins made his way the door knocking on it.

"What?" Angel said slightly startled.

"Baby your worrying us, what are you hiding? Please tell us." Collins said worried.

"I am not hiding anything now leave and don't talk to me." Angel said offensively.

Collins sighed and turned away from the door upset. Why was Angel talking to him like that, did he not love him anymore?

"Fine if that's the way you want it to be."

Angel stood up opening the door enough to stick his head out. He didn't mean to hurt Collins' feelings.

"Sweetie, I didn't mean it like that. I had a rough day that's all. You know I still love you right."

Collins stayed facing the rest of the group who was now staring at him awaiting his answer.

"Sweetie, answer me." Angel said irritated.

Collins turned facing her. He had a serious look on his face mixed with anger.

"How could you talk to me like that, I get worried about you and you tell me not to talk to you."

"You know what Collins, I'm tired of you overreacting. "Angel said.

"Overreacting, I thought something serious was wrong, all I wanted to know is what you was hiding."

"Maybe for once it doesn't involve you."

Collins stared at the face of his lover; he didn't know what to think.

"Do you want to call our relationship off, is that it?"

Angel's face turned red with anger.

"Maybe I do. Then you won't have to overreact when I'm trying to save the life of innocent kittens." Angel yelled walking out of the loft leaving the kittens asleep on the bed that once belonged to him and Collins.

Collins watched as she left. Was it really over between them, had they really had there first fight that would ruin there beautiful relationship. Collins looked at Mimi and Roger who was staring at him.

"Wow, your first fight." Mark told him.

"I never thought I would see that." Mimi said shocked.

"It's over, it's really over." Collins said still staring at the door.

"Are you going to be ok?" Roger asked.

"Yea, I guess it was for the best." Collins said to himself.

"So that's it you're going to let her go." Mimi said standing up.

"Yea, it's time we move on. I'm going to go to the Life Café and eat." Collins told them.

"You want us to go?" Mimi asked.

"No, I want to be alone. Take care of the kittens for Angel. Collins said grabbing his coat and walked out of the loft.

Angel had gone to the park to cry. He really loved Collins and didn't want to lose him. He knew he wouldn't stay home and would most likely go to the Life Café where they all hung out. He thought he would surprise him with an apology and a present. He knew the perfect thing, Stoli Collins' favorite drink.
