Chapter 1
I don't own RENT
Roger and I were sitting in the loft late on Friday night. I was playing with my camera and Roger as playing Musetta's Waltz for the eighth time. Then came a knock on the door. We thought it might be Mimi so I got up and answered it. When I pulled the door open I saw someone standing there. It was Benny.
"What do you want?" I asked crossly.
"I need somewhere to stay," he said with sadness in his voice.
"What about Muffy-" Roger began.
"Allison," Benny corrected.
"Why can't you stay there, I mean you are married to her,"
"Not for long,"
"What?" I asked.
"She kicked me out, she said things weren't working anymore," Benny mumbled.
"So you want us to help you even though you betray us and evicted us?" Roger questioned.
"I'll go some place else I guess," he started turning from he door. He had a depressed look on his face.
"Wait, I guess you can stay," I said ushering him in.
"What?" Roger asked setting down his guitar.
"He has no place to stay, and we owe it to him," I said trying to get Roger to budge.
"Whatever," Roger said and went back to playing his guitar. Benny and I sat on the couch just as the door creaked open revealing the rest of our friends.
