Roger

After that I grab a blanket to put over Mark who now looks quite tired which, after that, is completely understandable… He's so cute when he's asleep, and I think they're both actually pretty happy with me at the moment, which is fantastic, and there's no possible way in Hell that Mimi could know. I'll just have to keep this a secret which will be easy because it's not like Mark would tell her cuz he has absolutely no reason to. "I love you," I whisper before kissing him on the head and grabbing a pair of pants that look like they're mine.  I then jog down the stairs and go into Mimi's apartment "Hey baby," I say before doing a double take.  "Why are you crying?"

Mimi

 After reaching my apartment, I immediately collapse on the couch and just sob. My crying hitches in my throat when the door opens—please, don't let it be Benny—but it starts as hard as ever when Roger walks in. "Don't you dare call me "baby"," I hiss between clenched teeth. Why the hell is he pretending that nothing happened?

Roger

Why is she mad at me?  It's not like I've done anything wrong… maybe its PMS.  "Mimi what's wrong?  Do you want to talk about it? Because if you do I'll listen, I promise…. Tell me why you're so upset," I plead with her, trying to figure out what's got her like this.

Mimi

 My hand gropes across the coffee table, looking for something to throw. I finally find something cylindrical and hurl it at him as hard as I can. "How could you?!" I'm screaming now. I can't help it. "With fucking Mark! I knew there was a reason you wanted that threesome with him… I never would have imagined you would have fucked him, though! After all you promised me… God damnit, Roger!!!" Please make me stop crying.

Roger

How did she find out?  I ask myself as I try to calm her down and think of what to say.  "Mimi I swear it was a one time thing because he told me he loved me and I was drunk and I didn't know what to do and he was already starting and I couldn't think of how to stop him and I didn't want to and I'm sorry and I promise that I'll never do it ever ever again."

Mimi

 I drop my head against the couch and just sob. I don't know what to do, I don't know how to believe that it's a "one-time". Besides, how could I let him get away with "one-time"? After months accusing me of cheating at every turn, he goes and actually does it? "Why couldn't you have said "No, I love my girlfriend"?" I finally ask, desperately.

Roger

"I did tell him that but he said that we should just invite you and it would be okay and I was really really really drunk so I believed him and I'm sorry and I'll never so that again and I'm sorry," I say going over to her and putting my arms around her while hoping she's not going to scratch me to death or something.

Mimi

 I turn my head, burying my face into his shoulder, still crying. I still don't understand how he could have done this to me, I never slept with Benny when he was hanging around the club and I was drunk. Suddenly, I realize something, and my head slowly lifts. "You… smell like tea. You fucking smell like tea! You… Dios, Roger, you smell like Mark!" I set my hands on his shoulders and just shove. "You told me it was a "one-time thing"!"

Roger

"It was a one time thing!  He was making tea in the apartment and it stinks the entire place up, Miiiiiiimiiii," I whine while holding out my arms for her.  "Please don't be mad, I didn't do anything, I promise, I wouldn't do that."  Great Roger you just don't know when to say no, do you?  Noooo you're far too stupid for that.

Mimi

I glare down at him, how could he pretend everything's okay and everything's normal? It's not, it never will be again. "I think you should leave my apartment now," I tell him, my voice ice as my tears start to dry on my face. "I don't plan on speaking to or seeing you again. And if you ever come near me again, I'm going to be forced to call the police for invading my personal space and disrespecting my previous requests."

Roger

Okay this can't be as bad as I seems, I almost fixed things once.  "Mimi come on, I only did it once and I'm sorry and I love you, don't do this, break ups aren't fun and seventeen is too much for one year, pleeeeeeease?"

Mimi

Why can't he listen to me? "Listen to me… just for once!" I reach around for something else, eventually finding an old Vanilla Coke bottle. I grab it around the neck and start hitting Roger with it as hard as I can. "Get out, get out, get out! I don't fucking love you, you ass! I hate you more than anyone else, including my stepfather!" I burst into tears again, just when I thought I was starting to become strong. "You know what he did to me!" I stare at Roger, wiping tears off my face. I can't believe I ever trusted this man… I can't believe I ever trusted men. "And I hate you more than him."

Roger
Walking towards the door as she beats me with a pop bottle I try and protest before figuring everything will be better if I giver her a few days to calm down. It'll be fine, I just won't say anything for now. That resolve completely disappears as she slams the door behind me and I turn around and bang on her door. "I'm not evil like your step-father! I'm just a guy! Any guy would do that and I'm sorry!" With that I run back up to the loft and slam the door behind me.

Mimi

 "But you hurt me just like him," I whisper into the door, dropping to the floor and hiding my head in my knees. I thought Roger was the first good man in my life... I should have known better. He's just like the rest of them.
