There wasn't any talk about Mimi for the next hour. Collins fumed silently on the couch while Angel comfortingly hugged him. Mark was just quiet, sitting by the table. The three could here the weak floor creaking as Roger paced in his room, letting all his anger out.

"I HATE YOU! I HATE ALL OF YOU!" He would scream into the darkness of his room. "I hate you, Mimi!"

Angel almost cried at the sadness in Roger's tone. They knew Roger never was quiet about his anger, but it had never got this far. It has always been a "Why me?" type of thing. He never took it out on the rest of his friends.

"I don't deserve this…I didn't do anything…" Roger choked up as Angel buried her head into Collins's shoulder. He responded by hugging her tightly. Mark put his head in his hands and shook with fury towards Mimi. No one could comfort him because, like always, he was on his own to deal with his own emotions. Nobody to confide in, not even his camera as a comfort. Roger's mattress squeaked under his weight and he fell silent.

The loft was completely quiet. All you could hear was the cars driving away in the distance. No one moved, no one said anything until the door opened up to show a scared looking Mimi.

"I'm sorry." She said in the smallest voice possible. Collins stood up, reluctantly letting go of Angel.

"Get out." He said with force. Mimi looked hurt and even more scared, and Mark could tell from his spot by the table that Collins was furious. Even Angel looked frightened.

"I think I should be able to talk with Roger."

"Do you think he wants to talk with you?" Collins tried to step closer to Mimi, but Angel got up quickly and stood in front of him.

"Maybe you should let her talk." Angel whispered.

"She doesn't deserve that!"

"Everyone deserves a chance to explain themselves. What kind of world would it be without any explanations?" Collins couldn't argue this and he sat down on the couch again, Angel following right behind.

"Thank you, Angel." The words barely made it out of Mimi's mouth.

"This isn't for you." Though it was a short sentence, it sent a pang of guilt and hurt through Mimi's chest. She hadn't just cheated on Roger, she had also broken the strong trust her friends had in her. And Angel had just solidified that for her. When Mimi looked over at Mark, she didn't like what she saw. His jaw was clenched and his eyes were watery, glasses a bit lopsided on his head. Mark just shook his head at Mimi and put his head back in his hands.

"Roger?" Mimi knocked on his bedroom door.

No answer.

"Roger, I want to talk to you." The door slid open. Mimi just barely saw Roger's face, but that was enough. Angel and Collins gasped.

"Oh my god. He looks terrible!" Collins whispered to Angel.

And he did. His hair was disheveled and his eyes were puffy. The ghosts of tears were visible on his face. Roger was breathing heavily with his jaw tightened.

"I hate you." The door slammed closed.

Mimi's heart sank into her stomach. She felt like she would throw up. The fact that she had actually cheated on Roger sank in deeply. The thought made her sick. With tears stinging in her eyes, she ran out of the loft.

Collins stared at the door long after she had left. Angel had lay her head back on Collins's shoulder and was shaking with sobs. Mark still hadn't moved. Nobody was taking this cheating deal lightly, and Mark wasn't sure if Roger would ever be the same. First, he loses April and finds out he has AIDS. Then not long after, the girl Roger put all his trust into goes off and cheats on him. Roger definitely was not ever going to be okay.
