The girls had gone shopping leaving Mark, Roger, and Collins alone at the loft.
Roger sat in a chair reading a newspaper, Collins was enjoying his first joint in four months and grading papers, and Mark was messing his camera.
Roger threw a personals section from the newspaper at Mark.

"Find your self a girlfriend," Roger said in a demanding tone

"No thank you, I'm fine," Mark replied

"Boy, you need to get your self a girl," Collins said looking up from his papers and taking a long drag.

"Why do I need a girlfriend?"

"Or a boyfriend if you prefer." Collins chuckled at Roger's remark, and Mark just ignored it.

"You guys still haven't told me why I need a girlfriend."

"To keep you company, I mean what will do with yourself when we are at Soccer games, Parent Teacher Conferences, and Piano Recitals," Collins asked him with a semi-serious tone.

"Mark, your gonna be alone not because you are the one of us to survive, but because we are all starting families, I mean what will you do when Mimi and I move out of the loft, I mean even Maureen and Joanne eventually will settle down, then what will you do. You haven't had a date since Maureen dumped you, It's for you sanity and your safety," Roger told Mark, amazed at what he was telling him, he hated to the think about being alone and the only one to survive.
Roger hadn't confronted Mark like this since the day Roger left for Santa Fe. He remembered it clearly.

Flashback October 31 1990
Angel was in the hospital, everyone thought she was going to die.
Mimi was looking weak, and Roger didn't want to stay and watch either of them slip away, so he decided he was going to pack up and head to Santa Fe, NM.
Mark and Roger were engaged in a heated argument.
"How could you let her go?" Mark asked.

"You just don't know, why are we gonna lose Angel?"

"Maybe you'll see why when you stop escaping your pain at least now if you try, Angel's death won't be in vain"

"His death will be in vein"

"Are you insane?" There was anger now in Mark voice "There so much to care about there's me, there's Mimi"

"Mimi's got her baggage, too"

"So do you"

"Who are you to tell me what I know, what to do?"

"A friend"

"But who, Mark, are you?" Roger anger rose as he spoke ""Mark has got his work" they say "Mark lives for his work" and "Mark's in love with his work"Mark hides in his work"

"But from what?"

"From facing your failure, facing your loneliness, facing the fact you live a lie." Mark looked down trying to ignore Roger as he continued every thing Roger was saying bit away at him. "Yes, you live a lie, tell you why, you're always preaching not to be numb, when that's how you thrive, you pretend to create and observe, when you really detach from feeling alive"

"Perhaps it's because I'm the one of us to survive" Mark spat out, the anger had finally exploded inside him.

"POOR BABY!" Roger shouted back.

"Mimi still loves you, are you really jealous, or afraid that Mimi's weak?" Mark asked his voice was calmer than he was a few seconds before but still the anger was still noticeable in his voice.

"Mimi did look pale," Roger said quietly hoping Mark didn't hear him

"Mimi's gotten thin, Mimi's running out of time, and your running out the door"

"No more, oh no, I've gotta go"

"Hey, for somebody who's always been let down, who's heading out of town?" Mark yelled with furry in his voice.

"For someone who longs for a community of his own, who's with his camera, alone?" Roger replied, that hit Mark harder than anything else Roger had told him that Halloween.
End Flashback

"I'll be with my camera alone," Mark admitted, Roger knew where that came from, he knew how it hurt Mark to think about it.
Mark picked up the paper and began to look through the section with the help of Roger and Collins.

"Here's one" Collins said, Mark and Roger looked up as Collins read aloud.

"Young Jewish girl, looking for boy in early to mid twenties. My hobbies include dancing, sewing, and reading"

"Seems like she would fit in perfectly here" Collins commented and continued to read.

"I have dark hair, medium body type, and wear glasses or contacts...depends on the mood I'm in"
Roger laughed

"Jesus Christ this like the female Ma-OW!" Collins kicked Roger in the shin.

"If interested call me at 320-1217" Collins put down the paper.

"Well Mark are you gonna call her?" Roger asked.

"What the hell there's nothing much else to do"
Mark got up and went to the phone and began to dial her number.

Ring...Ring...Ring
"Hey you've reached Sara and Tamara, We aren't home right now, I guess that obvious, so leave a message and we'll call ya back later"
Beep

"Hello, I am...uh...Mark Cohen...and I saw your personals ad and-"

"Hello" Sara answered the phone.

"Hi, I am Mark Cohen, and I saw your personals ad"

"Yes"

"And I was wondering..." Mark looked over his shoulder Collins and Roger where making the continue motion with they're hands. "Would like to go on a date tonight"

"A date tonight..." Sara looked over her shoulder and her roommate Tamara was mouthing 'SAY YES' "Yeah sure, what time"

"How about 7:30? I'll meet you at the Life Cafe, do you know where that is?"

"Of course I do, I live about 4 blocks away from it."

"Great, so okay bye" Mark hung up the phone quickly ending the most awkward conversation of his life.

A/N: There are a couple little things about this chapter that are weird:

Sara's phone number is 320-1217 which not an actual phone number...I think, but it is the date and time I first saw Rent, it was at a movie theater (yes I saw the movie before the stage show) and it was the 3:20pm showing on December 17, 2005.

And the flashback of Roger and Mark arguing is "Goodbye Love" I kinda mixed the stage version, and the full movie version together, plus I changed some lyrics like "How could we lose Angel?" or " His death is in vain" just because Angel didn't die so those lines wouldn't make any sense.

"Revolution, justice, screaming for solutions, forcing changes, risk, and danger, making noise and making pleas!"
