(Author's note- I don't own mark, roger, Mimi or any of these characters. I
wish I did... especially Roger * sigh* But the sacred being who DOEs ( or...
did) own everything about sanctified RENT is ( or ...was ) Jonathan an
Larson, a.k.a GOD... So don't sue me....
Roger sat beside the reclined Mimi, holding her hands and stroking her face.
Mark, Collins, Maureen and Joanne seemed to fade into the background as Roger bent over Mimi's weak body, trying to say what took him so long to figure out.
"I should tell you" Mimi coughed in their ritual beginning of a conversation "I love you". Her hand limply fell off the table.
In a split second, Roger felt a million ways at once. His heart clenched and fluttered. She loved him. But who did she think she was? Leaving him alone with his guitar. He wasn't going to let her go. Not without telling her how he felt. She had to hold on, there was something she had to hear. Mimi stirred as Roger picked up his guitar. It wasn't much, but it took all year.
Roger strummed out the beginning notes to their song. His Song. His one Song. His Glory. The Song that had taken months to writes.
The Song that was only released by the gift of Mimi's love.
The Song that had been birthed into existence by the presence of Mimi's magical eyes.
"I should tell you, I should tell you. I have always loved you. You can see it in my eyes"
There. He said it. After all this time, Both Mimi and Roger knew they really loved each other. Roger bent down and kissed Mimi gently on the lips. They'd live happily ever after! Mimi would sit right up and shake of her illness! After all this time- They'd finally be together!
Mimi lightly smiled, and closed her precious eyes.
She was gone
"MIMI!!!" Roger suddenly fell from a couch and hit the floor with an awakening thump.
The cry of Mimi's name was still on his lips as he wildly searched the loft for her.
Silence conquered over Roger's confusion and he shook the sleep from his face as he realized it was a dream.. a nightmare.
But it wasn't.
The dream was a replay of a memory of a night not too long ago. The night of Mimi's death.
Mimi...
An empty hole in the bottom of Roger's heart suddenly shattered. Was it possible for something that was nothing to even break? Was this what happened when you were in love? Roger hadn't even believed in love before he met Mimi. He just dreamed about being a successful songwriter. Yeah right. He only wrote one great song, and that took him a good year. His one song glory was for Mimi.
That song was all he had ever lived for.
Now mimi was gone.
His song was gone.
His glory was gone.
Everything that mattered... gone
How long would it take before he was gone too?
